Georgia weighs slapping Trump with racketeering charges: CNN

Erik Wallenberg, a visiting professor at the New College of Florida and a detractor of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' efforts to take over the state's higher educational system, was unceremoniously removed, leaving the campus without a professor that teaches U.S. history, the Miami New Times reported this week.

"Though he'd been an outspoken critic of New College's recent anti-'woke' overhaul, the axing of his teaching position made little sense to Wallenberg from an academic standpoint," reported Naomi Feinstein. "'The social sciences department had been supportive of his planned return for another year, he had received positive student evaluations, and he had just published an American history research paper."

Donald Trump raged against investigators as an indictment looms over his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House, and he urged his followers to "fight" on his behalf.

Lawyers for the former president met with the Department of Justice on Monday to argue against an indictment in the Mar-a-Lago case, and Trump issued a denial the following morning insisting that he had not broken any laws and misleadingly compared his handling of sensitive materials to President Joe Biden and former vice president Mike Pence.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Republicans in Georgia are bracing for a new round of bitter infighting over a proposal being pitched by a hard-right faction of the party to block Republicans the group deems "traitors" from serving in office.

According to the AJC, Georgia Republican Assembly head Alex Johnson on Monday night tried to rally support for the proposal while also assailing what he called the "paid political class" for trying to kill it.
