Rudy Giuliani

Although special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis are both prosecuting election interference cases against former President Donald Trump, their criminal indictments differ in some important ways.

Willis, unlike Smith, is using RICO laws to prosecute Trump. And Willis has indicted a long list of Trump allies as co-defendants. Smith's election interference case, so far, doesn't have any indicted co-defendants — only unindicted alleged co-conspirators.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani left open the possibility on Sunday that supporters of Donald Trump could "get violent" if he is removed from state ballots because of the 14th Amendment.

Giuliani made the remarks after a caller on his WABC radio show asked him if Trump supporters could turn violent over Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars anyone who participated in an insurrection from holding federal office.

Now that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has denied a request by Donald Trump to delay his defamation civil suit trial filed by E. Jean Carroll, the trial is set to begin in just over two weeks — and the former president is expected to lose and hand over millions more to the New York City writer.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Friday, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner was asked how he expects it to play out. He speculated that the former president could be on the hook for double the $5 million he has already been ordered to pay in the first defamation trial.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, he stated, "We should watch for a big fat money judgment entered by the jury against Donald Trump."

"This is 'The Defamation Case: The Sequel,'" he joked before continuing, " when after a jury found that Donald Trump not only sexually-battered, but defamed E. Jean Carroll, and he went out and did it all over again. Rudy Giuliani taking a page from Donald Trump's playbook did the same thing and defamed the Georgia state election workers on the courthouse steps."

"This seems to be a play that they're running over and over again, but it's not a winning play: their luck will run out. The walls are closing in certainly in this case, and I think the jury awarded an aggregate $5 million the first time around. I would look for double that this time around," he elaborated, to which host Alex Witt could only add, "Wow."

Lev Parnas, who was a central figure in the 2019 Ukraine scandal that led to the impeachment of Donald Trump, is still telling his story — and is now revealing insights into "diplomatic impropriety" that he says is at the heart of current investigations targeting the Biden family.

It's a message Republicans are not eager to promote, The Palm Beach Post reports.

Donald Trump's delay tactics, and the U.S. Supreme Court's decision not to expedite a review of his immunity claims, could potentially backfire in a couple of ways.

The former president is hoping to "stall" his trials until after the 2024 election, said Hamline University political science professor David Schultz, who told Salon that his delay tactics could wind up hurting his candidacy at a crucial moment.

Kari Lake could soon meet the same fate as Rudy Giuliani after her latest court loss, according to a columnist in her home state.

A judge ruled last week that the failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate does not have a First Amendment right to call Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer a criminal, and she must now prove her claims that he intentionally sabotaged last year's election — or get slapped with a multimillion-dollar penalty for defamation, reported the Arizona Republic.

A Republican fake elector in Michigan told investigators of his regret for trying to swing the 2020 vote for Donald Trump — and said officials “betrayed” him by exploiting his ignorance.

In a recording of an interview obtained by the New York Times, James Renner said it was only after he heard testimony from the House’s January 6 investigation that he realized he’d acted illegally.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump could be cruising towards a 2020 rematch with overtones of 2016, as a new poll shows each candidate with an 54% unfavorable rating.

A new Economist/YouGov poll, taken between December 16-18, asked 1,500 adult American citizens about their favorability of a number of world leaders. When it came to Trump, 42% rated him favorably—22% very favorable versus 19% somewhat favorable—and 54% unfavorable, split by 45% finding him very unfavorable to only 9% rating him somewhat unfavorable.

On Feb. 13, 2002 — five months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks — then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani visited Buckingham Palace in London and was awarded an honorary knighthood.

Giuliani, who often quoted the late UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill, had a much different image in those days. Back then, Giuliani had a reputation for being a moderate conservative who had no problem working with non-Republicans in an overwhelmingly Democratic city.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday offered a justification after he was found liable for defaming two former Georgia election workers, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.

On his Sunday WABC radio program, Giuliani congratulated himself for a "brilliant legal move" because he recommended that then-President Donald Trump take his rigged election claims to state legislatures instead of the courts after the 2020 presidential vote.
