Clintons urge voters agitated by today's politics to remain involved in public serviceNone
President-elect Donald Trump is trying to get the Georgia election interference case against him dismissed, asserting that the state's courts will not have jurisdiction over him once he returns to the White House next month. The Georgia case against Trump and others is mostly on hold pending a pretrial appeal of an order allowing prosecutor Fani Willis to remain on the case despite what defense attorneys say is a conflict of interest. Trump's attorneys on Wednesday filed a notice with the Georgia Court of Appeals saying a sitting president is “completely immune from indictment or any criminal process, state or federal.” The filing asks the appeals court to consider before he becomes president next month whether it has jurisdiction to continue to hear the case. It says the court should conclude that it and the trial court lack jurisdiction “as the continued indictment and prosecution of President Trump by the State of Georgia are unconstitutional.” Trump's lawyers ask that the appeals court dismiss his appeal for lack of jurisdiction and instruct the trial court to immediately dismiss the indictment against him. RELATED STORY | American foreign policy is flowing through Mar-a-Lago as Trump prepares for White House return Also Wednesday, former Trump campaign lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, who pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in the case, asked the trial court judge to invalidate that plea. Chesebro was one of four people to plead guilty in the case in the months following the indictment. Representatives for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis declined to comment on Trump's and Chesebro's requests. The Georgia case, which originally included 19 defendants and dozens of charges, was the most sprawling of four criminal cases against the once-and-future president. U.S. Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith last week told judges he was withdrawing both federal cases against Trump, citing longstanding Justice Department policy that shields a president from indictment while in office. One of those cases charged him with hoarding classified documents at his Florida estate. The other accused him of scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election he lost. Trump on Monday asked a Manhattan judge to throw out his conviction in his hush money case , saying that continuing to pursue it would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.“ The New York case was the only one of Trump’s four criminal indictments to go to trial, resulting in a historic verdict that made him the first former president to be convicted of a crime. In the Georgia case, Trump and some of the other remaining defendants, who have pleaded not guilty, were already seeking to have Willis removed from the prosecution or to have the indictment dismissed. They cited a romantic relationship she had with Nathan Wade , a special prosecutor she appointed to lead the case. Willis and Wade have acknowledged that they had a relationship but have said it began after he was hired and ended before the indictment against Trump was filed. Trump and other defendants argued that the relationship created a conflict of interest that should disqualify Willis and her office from continuing with her prosecution of the case. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled in March that Willis’ actions showed a “tremendous lapse in judgment,” but he did not find a conflict of interest that would disqualify Willis. He said she could continue her prosecution as long as Wade stepped aside, which he did. The appeal of that ruling remains pending but must be decided by March. Chesebro was charged in August 2023, alongside Trump and 17 others , in the sprawling indictment accusing them of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to overturn Trump's loss in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. He pleaded guilty to a single conspiracy count a few months later after reaching a deal with prosecutors just before he was to go to trial. His lawyer on Wednesday asked Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to invalidate the plea after McAfee in September tossed out the charge to which he had pleaded guilty. “In Georgia, a defendant cannot plead guilty to a charge that does not constitute a crime,” defense attorney Manny Arora wrote, adding that a failure to invalidate his plea would violate Chesebro's constitutional right to due process. Prosecutors have said Chesebro was part of a plot to have a group of 16 Georgia Republicans sign a certificate falsely saying that Trump had won Georgia and declaring themselves the state’s “duly elected and qualified” electors. He pleaded guilty in October 2023 to one felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing false documents related to the the filing of that document with the federal court in Atlanta. In a September ruling, McAfee wrote that punishing someone for filing certain documents with a federal court would “enable a state to constrict the scope of materials assessed by a federal court and impair the administration of justice in that tribunal to police its own proceedings.” He concluded that the count must be quashed “as beyond the jurisdiction of this State.”Kevin Kisner named NBC's lead golf analyst
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin needs hip surgery and will be out four to six months, jeopardizing the season for the 32-year-old now dealing with the second major hip injury of his career. Seguin will have a procedure to repair an impingement and the labrum in his left hip, the team said Wednesday. The surgery is planned for Thursday. “Tyler’s been dealing with this, been managing, I guess is the best way to say it, for a while,” general manager Jim Nill said. “And it just got to a point where it’s really this time to have surgery, and it’s a wear-and-tear injury.” The six-time All-Star missed all but three games of the 2020-21 season following a similar surgery on his right hip. Seguin also underwent arthroscopic knee surgery during that absence. Seguin tried to play through hip pain during the playoff bubble in Canada in 2020, when the Stars reached the Stanley Cup Final before losing to Tampa Bay. He played 19 of the first 23 games this season and is third on the team with 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists). The Stars put Seguin on injured reserve after a 3-1 victory over Winnipeg on Sunday. “He’s done a great job with it," defenseman Miro Heiskanen said. "You couldn’t really tell if he’s hurt or not, he was playing so good.” Seguin played 81 games the first season after the surgery on his right hip and didn't miss any of Dallas' playoff games in runs to the Western Conference final each of the past two seasons. After winning the Stanley Cup title with Boston as a rookie in 2010-11, Seguin spent two more seasons with Boston before getting traded to Dallas in 2013. Seguin averaged 34 goals and 43 assists in his first six years with the Stars and signed a $78.8 million, eight-year extension in 2019. Nill said it was too early to know how the Stars, who are currently fourth in the Western Conference, might use the salary cap space that would be available by placing Seguin on long-term injured reserve. By moving Seguin's cap hit of $9.85 million to LTIR, it could allow them to add another standout player before the March 7 trade deadline. “We’re in a good position cap wise, we got some cap room, and we’re good roster wise. So, we’re just going to kind of monitor that as the season goes forward,” Nill said. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
Kalaburagi: In response to the Prime Minister's allegations about opposition parties spreading misinformation and plotting against the nation, RDPR minister Priyank Kharge raised several questions about the govt's conduct during its administration. Speaking to mediapersons on Saturday, he challenged PM Modi 's continuous assertions over the last 11 years regarding alleged conspiracies aimed at the nation. He demanded clear evidence of any steps taken in light of these claimed threats. Kharge also sought clarification regarding the nature of these supposed plots, their sources, and the involvement of intelligence services. He criticised the current appointment system of officials, suggesting they serve merely as passive listeners to prime ministerial broadcasts. He also said the Prime Minister tends to alter his message depending on his audience. Addressing BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal's comments about his family, Priyank Kharge stated that the BJP demonstrates ignorance about our history and that of the Razakars. He elaborated that this ignorance prompted his suggestion that they undertake a free DNA test to establish their roots and identity. He questioned whether chanting ‘Jai Sri Ram' would serve as a solution to the mistakes made by seers. Kharge interpreted the BJP's silence on Pejawar Swamiji's statements to support the Manu Smriti. He questioned the appropriateness of remaining silent when religious leaders, meant to provide social guidance, instead foster religious divisions. He advised opposition leader R Ashoka that any street protests in support of these individuals would trigger a massive public movement to protect the Constitution.TikTok video shows burning of ‘TRUMP,’ ‘USA’ into Glen Burnie roadCountry star Zach Bryan stopped mid-performance to scold one concert-goer after they launched an object on-stage and hit one of his guitarists. Over the weekend during Zach's show at the Tacoma Dome in Washington , one fan flung an unidentified item onto the stage disrupting the song and nearly injuring one of his band members. In concert footage of the incident, the 28-year-old singer was seen bending over, picking up the object, and angrily asking the jam-packed crowd: "Who threw this? Who was it? Does anyone know? Who was it? Don’t throw s--t at concerts! Huh? And if you guys do know who threw it we can get them out of here, if we ever find out who did it.” In the comment section of the now-viral video posted by Country Central on TikTok , many users stood by Zach's outburst agreeing it was inappropriate to put him and his fellow bandmates in harms way. One person wrote: "I'll never not appreciate Zach Bryan. Most artists don't appreciate garbage thrown at them. He did nothing wrong." Zach Bryan reveals why he missed CMAs following Brianna Chickenfry split Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia claims Zach Bryan bought her an engagement ring before split And another fan defended: "It's the fact too that it hit one of his bandmates. People don't like things being thrown at them period. I would've been pissed too." And a third chimed in: "With him 100%. Concert etiquette is horrible these days. No one knows how to act in public." But others took aim at Zach's fiery reaction, especially now that he has been embroiled in controversy following his public split with his ex-girlfriend Brianna Chickenfry, aka Brianna LaPaglia. Under the video, one person wrote: "Guy is such a clown. Just sing the dang song Zach, my god." Another added: "I've had a bad feeling about this guy since the first time I've seen him. You can see the rage in him. He is not a good person, people throw crap on the stage all the time it didn't hit him." While another user joked: "Dave Portnoy threw it." And as expected, dozens tagged his ex-girlfriend in the post with one person writing: "@BriannaLaPaglia these comments are everything and you need to read them."
