Jan. 6 attacker Christopher Carnell submitted a filing to Judge Beryl Howell asking for the case to be paused until Dec. 13.

Politico legal reporter Kyle Cheney posted the court documents on Wednesday morning, saying that he expects a pardon to come.

Donald Trump won a second term in office despite four criminal indictments, 34 felony convictions and hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties, and CNN's Elie Honig explained how his election win would affect those legal cases.

The president-elect is due to be sentenced later this month for falsifying business records related to his hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, and a judge was expected to hear arguments next month in his federal election interference case, and Honig said those matters were now up in the air after he beat Vice President Kamala Harris.

The morning after Donald Trump won a historic second term as president despite being a convicted felon and found guilty of sexual assault and defamation, MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Rev. Al Sharpton teamed up to blast non-white male voters who voted against Vice President Kamala Harris.

As part of the postmortem of the election, Scarborough was quick to note polls that showed the VP did poorly with white men –– as was expected –– but also with voters who were expected to fall in behind her but voted for the former president instead.

"Kamala Harris is a woman of color in an interracial marriage running as a woman to be the head of state," Sharpton began. "That is something a lot of Americans are not ready to deal with. How we move that forward, we need to face it and deal with it and I hope we do it in a way that shows that we will be more mature than when they lost [in 2020]. There will be no January 6 insurrection from our side. It must be the maturing of America."

"I will just say, Rev, really quickly, too, Democrats need to be mature and they need to be honest," host Scarborough interjected. "And they need to say, yes, there is misogyny but it's not just misogyny from white me. It's misogyny from Hispanic men."

"Right," Sharpton agreed.

"It's misogyny from Black men, things we have all been talking about, who do not want a woman leading them. Might be race issues with Hispanics, they don't want a Black woman as president of the United States. You know, the Democratic party, I've always found when you're sitting around talking, they love to just sort of balkanize everybody into separate groups, and say, 'Oh, white people don't like women and Black people.' No. We've talked about this before: a lot of Hispanic voters have problems with Black candidates."

"And with other Hispanics!" Sharpton exclaimed. "You've got some that don't like each other. And some of the most misogynist things I heard going the get out the vote tour came from Black men. So you're absolutely right, it's not simplistic and we have to have real honest conversations about it."

Former Democratic lawmaker Bakari Sellers and GOP operative Shermichael Singleton clashed on CNN over the Republican Party's efforts to win over Black men voters.

The conservative Singleton credited the GOP's outreach efforts for Donald Trump's election win, saying Republicans promised to "put men back to work," but Sellers disagreed.

Anti-Trump conservative Tom Nichols believes that there is "a ray of hope" in what he otherwise describes as a depressing victory for former President Donald Trump.

Writing in The Atlantic, Nichols makes the case that while there will be fewer guardrails on Trump in his second administration, there will be some potential political benefits to this.

As part of the post-mortem following Donald Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris to become the 47th president of the United States, one Democrat appeared on MSNBC early Wednesday morning to point to what he believes helped the former president return to the Oval Office.

Sitting down with MSNBC host Jen Psaki, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), the lawmaker was asked, "You're the only person sitting here who's run for office and won. All this data, all these exit polls, all the margins surprising and disappointing to some, what are your big takeaways on what we know so far?"

"I think Trump helped that along, right?" he replied. "If he has a superpower, it's marketing. In every single speech over the last few years, he would say we had the greatest economy, we had the greatest economy and I think a lot of people really believed that in the end."

"And they remember those times more fondly probably than they were, right, and compared that to high inflation over the last couple of years," he added. "So there's that. It's an extraordinary comeback, I don't know if we can I call it the greatest American comeback."

Now that President elect Donald Trump has emerged victorious in the 2024 election, Politico has done a rundown of what it means for the multiple criminal charges that have been leveled against him.

In short, Politico finds that Trump "is now his own judge and jury, insulated from the criminal consequences he might have faced without the legal force field of the Oval Office."
