Reuters - Trump criminal trial to start next March, with campaign in full swing

May 23 (Reuters) - Donald Trump will face a criminal trial in New York on March 25, 2024, a judge said on Tuesday, meaning the former U.S. President will be on trial as his campaign for the 2024 Republican nomination is in full swing.

Trump, who is charged with falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to a porn star, is expected to be crisscrossing the country next spring along with his rivals as states host presidential nominating contests.

Justice Juan Merchan in Manhattan state court announced the date at a hearing in which Trump appeared remotely from Florida. ...

In a post on his Truth Social platform after the hearing, Trump said his rights to free speech had been violated.

"They forced upon us a trial date of March 25th, right in the middle of the Primary season," Trump wrote in the post. "It's called ELECTION INTERFERENCE." ...

During the hearing, Trump spoke only to tell the court he had a copy of the May 8 order restricting him from disclosing certain evidence to third parties, including news outlets and on social media. ...

The judge said on Tuesday that if Trump violates the restrictions, he could be held in contempt of court.

[Trump] appeared annoyed as he was put on notice of potential punishments.

Poor Donald - it's just NOT FAIR ... 😢😢😢😢😢

"Trust Trump to knock the competition: Trump team knocks DeSantis’ Twitter campaign launch: ‘This way he doesn’t have to interact with people’"

Trump is famous for calling out women (only) as "nasty woman"

But wow, he redefines the word "nasty"

If Trump were to mangle Michelle Obama's quote it would be "When they go low, we go lower."

The Washington Post - Trump workers moved Mar-a-Lago boxes a day before Justice Dept. came for documents

25 May 2023

Two of Donald Trump’s employees moved boxes of papers the day before FBI agents and a prosecutor visited the former president’s Florida home to retrieve classified documents in response to a subpoena ...

Trump and his aides also allegedly carried out a “dress rehearsal” for moving sensitive papers even before his office received the May 2022 subpoena ...

Prosecutors in addition have gathered evidence indicating that Trump at times kept classified documents in his office in a place where they were visible and sometimes showed them to others ...

Taken together, the new details of the classified-documents investigation suggest a greater breadth and specificity to the instances of possible obstruction found by the FBI and Justice Department than has been previously reported.

The Daily Show asks conservatives when America was Great. Mostly when they still had slavery, before women could vote, racial segregation, etc:

It's actually a bit mean because it's a question you can't answer, no matter what you say there's giant holes in it.

Still more new evidence appearing about Trump's knowingly hiding hush money payments to a porn actress.

Bodes bad for Trump when after 7 years they are still getting more evidence, in particular audio recordings.

I guess untrustworthy people don't trust each other, and like to keep potential blackmail material around.

It may just be another recording from "fixer" Michael Cohen. Given Cohen's animosity towards Trump. I'd guess Cohen would have spent all his ammunition already trying to avoid going to jail. So I'd guess it's someone new.

NBC News: Prosecutors say they have a recording of Trump and a witness in Manhattan DA case

Prosecutors in New York have informed attorneys for Donald Trump that the evidence in their hush money case against the former president includes an audio recording of him and a witness, a court filing made public Friday shows.
...
Trump was charged last month with 34 counts of falsifying business records and has pleaded not guilty. The charges involve hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal toward the end of his 2016 presidential campaign to prevent them from speaking about their allegations of affairs with him.

Trump has denied having affairs with both women.
...
In the previously disclosed recorded September 2016 conversation between Trump and Cohen, the pair can be heard discussing how to structure payments to McDougal. At one point, Trump appears to ask “what financing?” and seems to ask “pay with cash?”

Cohen responds, “No, no, no, no, no, no, I got ...” before Trump is heard saying the word “check.”

The filing said several other recordings that don't directly include Trump will also be turned over to his defense team, including phone conversations between two unidentified witnesses, a phone conversation "between a witness and a third party" and "various recordings saved on a witness’s cell phones."

BBC News: Boris Johnson: Former PM meets Donald Trump to discuss Ukraine
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has met former President Donald Trump to discuss the situation in Ukraine.

The meeting took place on Thursday, during Mr Johnson's visit to the United States.

This week Mr Johnson has also met Republican politicians in Texas and Mr Trump's former secretary of state Mike Pompeo to shore up support for Ukraine.

Mr Trump has previously described Mr Johnson as a friend but their stances on the Ukraine war differ.

Mr Johnson has been a vocal supporter, visiting Ukraine several times and calling for the West to provide more weapons to the country.

Mr Trump, on the other hand, has previously refused to commit to sending military aid to Ukraine if he returned to the White House and would not say who he thought should win the war.

TWITTER INVESTIGATION REVEALS KEYBOARD WAS CLOGGED WITH CHOCOLATE PUDDING

SAN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)—The attempt to live-stream Ron DeSantis’s announcement of his White House bid on Twitter encountered difficulties because a computer keyboard involved in the transmission became clogged with chocolate pudding, a preliminary company investigation has determined.

Trevor Klugian, who heads up the digital-forensics team for the social-media platform, said that the glitchy broadcast not occurred because of excessive traffic, as originally claimed, but because of technical problems with data input.

“We’re not sure how it happened, but chocolate pudding seems to have got inside one of the keyboards,” he said. “It’s really gross.”

Klugian said that, even though the company has got to the bottom of the technical problem, the manner in which chocolate pudding came into contact with the keyboard remains a mystery.

“It’s almost as if the keyboard user had eaten chocolate pudding with their fingers,” he continued. “But who'd do that?”

America has/had strict counterfeiting laws. I'm pretty sure it used to be illegal to make anything that vaguely resembles real currency. I think there may have been exceptions for prop money used in films and the like. Not sure of specific details.
