These false electors, who were charged by state Attorney General Dana Nessel, face prosecution as similar criminal charges advance against the fake Trump electors in other battleground states, including Arizona and Georgia. 16 people are charged in the Michigan case, including several longtime GOP operatives.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon will be removed from overseeing the trial in special counsel Jack Smith’s Espionage Act case against Donald Trump, predicts a top constitutional scholar who is calling her rejection of an urgent request from federal prosecutors to place additional restrictions on the ex-president “wildly lawless” and a “smoking gun.”

Last week Trump, his campaign and his supporters claimed President Joe Biden had tried to assassinate the ex-president in 2022 when FBI agents executed a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago. Trump is accused of illegaly storing well over 1,000 White House items he had taken, including hundreds of classified documents, at the Florida residence and resort. Among those were some of the nation’s top nuclear secrets.

Trump has faced limited gag orders in three other cases, including the one imposed by Judge Tanya Chutkan in Smith's election interference case. But Cannon, a Trump appointee, not only rejected Smith's request — she was also highly critical of the special counsel's team.
