Lawyers for former President Donald J. Trump asked a judge Tuesday evening to suspend a series of civil lawsuits seeking to hold him responsible for the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, until after his federal criminal trial related to the same events was over.

The lawyers’ request to pause the civil cases was the latest example of Trump’s attempt to pit his multiple legal cases against each other in an effort to delay them. In recent weeks, the former president and his lawyers have managed to polish each of the four criminal cases he faces, sometimes by convincing judges that the timing of the various proceedings conflicted.

In their request for a pause in the civil cases, Mr. Trump’s lawyers told Judge Amit P. Mehta, who is overseeing the proceedings, that it would be unfair to the former president to oppose the should defend lawsuits. They said doing so could reveal his strategy to defend himself against related criminal charges filed against him by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith.

“Given the substantial overlap in factual and legal allegations between these cases and the D.C. criminal case,” the attorneys wrote, there is “a substantial risk that proceedings in this case will expose the defense’s pretrial theory to the prosecution. ”

The lawyers added: “This would impair President Trump’s ability to effectively defend himself in both these civil cases and the special counsel’s criminal case.”

In the months after Jan. 6, a half-dozen lawsuits were filed against Mr. Trump by members of Congress and police officers serving at the Capitol that day, accusing him of inciting the mob that stormed the building. The lawsuits, all being heard in Federal District Court in Washington, have sought unspecified financial damages from Mr. Trump.

The former president initially tried to defend himself against the lawsuits by arguing that he was immune from the charges because they arose from official actions he took while president. In December, a federal appeals court in Washington ruled that the cases could proceed, but ordered Judge Mehta to decide whether Trump’s fiery speech on Jan. 6, in which he urged his supporters to march on the Capitol, should be considered an official act of his presidency or part of his re-election campaign.

That fact-finding — which has not yet begun — prompted Mr. Trump’s lawyers to ask for the pause. The lawyers have said that if the former president or his allies are forced to provide information about the nature of his speech or any other comment he made about Jan. 6, it could be used against him by prosecutors in the criminal case.

If Judge Mehta agrees to pause the civil cases, it is unclear when they could resume. The criminal case itself has been at a standstill for months as a series of courts have considered a similar immunity defense from Mr. Trump. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on his immunity claim on April 25.

If the judges reach a decision quickly — and assuming they reject the immunity claim, as many legal experts expect — Trump’s criminal trial could begin on January 6 in September. But if they take the time to rule, the trial could be postponed until after the November elections.

Adele has revealed she has been forced to postpone the next dates of her Las Vegas residency after illness ‘took a toll on her voice.’

Days after revealing she had been placed on vocal rest, the 35-year-old singer shared the sad news that all ten of her shows in March would be postponed to a later date after she was ordered to rest.

Adele will complete her Las Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in June and is expected to earn around £1.5million per show.

Post a statement on Instagram. Adele wrote: ‘Unfortunately I have to wait a while and pause my Vegas residency. I was sick at the end of the last stage and the whole break.

“I hadn’t quite had the chance to get back to full health before the shows resumed and now I’m sick again, and unfortunately that’s taken its toll on my voice.

The singer shared the sad news that all ten of her shows in March would be postponed to a later date after she was ordered to rest on 'doctor's orders'.

The singer shared the sad news that all ten of her shows in March would be postponed to a later date after she was ordered to rest on ‘doctor’s orders’.

‘And so, according to doctor’s orders, I have no choice but to rest thoroughly. The remaining five weeks of this stage will be postponed to a later date.

“We are already working out the details and you will receive the information as soon as possible.”

Adele listed the dates of her residency that would be postponed, including every weekend in March.

Over the weekend, Adele revealed she was taking several days of vocal rest after experiencing a scare during her Las Vegas residency.

Stressed and emotional Adele complained of voice problems, which made her sound like the cartoon villain ‘Ursula’ from The Little Mermaid.

The Londoner apologized to the crowd at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace and admitted she was worried about taking notes due to a breast problem.

However, the self-confessed motormouth, 35, will have to ‘lock herself up’ to stop talking to her gregarious son and partner Rich Paul.

Adele, who underwent surgery for polyps in her throat in 2011, expressed concerns about her performance at the start of the show on Saturday evening.

The star, who has battled cord issues in the past, admitted: ‘In the middle of last night – I’m sure you can hear it a little bit in my speaking voice and my singing voice. Your girl was tired. I didn’t sleep very well…

“And Ursula from the ocean came out of my chest tonight. I can’t hit my main notes properly. I haven’t been sleeping well and my chest is on fire. I’m sure I’ll be drinking coffee in ten days, but I’m still here.”

She added that she was happy that the crowd’s “energy” was so positive that it helped her mood.

But then she stated, “Right after this show, I’m going on vocal rest. Can you imagine how hard it is if I don’t talk for three days? So I lie in bed and cough up my intestines with complete voice rest…

‘And not only is my partner a real chatterbox, but so is my son. So I’ll have to lock myself in a cupboard or something like that.’

Adele lasted 100 minutes in her song, often drinking honey and hot water between songs.

As she welled up on stage, Adele appeared to be feeling slightly better, but acknowledged her voice problems as she ended the sold-out show: “My voice came back about four songs ago…

‘You’ve been great. The show. Thank you, thank you love, magical, magical, all from the moment it comes together. I’m so glad you had a good time. I look crazy, I feel crazy… I’m going on voice rest.’

Adele still has twenty shows in Vegas before she heads to Munich for summer stadium performances. Her last world tour, Adele Live, saw her cancel her final two shows at Wembley Stadium in 2017 due to vocal concerns.

She has also spoken in the past about trauma recovery in that region.

She underwent vocal cord surgery in October 2011 to relieve recurring bleeding caused by a benign polyp.

On stage, Adele admitted that her weekend plans to scream at her TV and sing along to Jennifer Lopez’s new film This Is Me were affected.

‘I had very concrete plans with my gay friends, they would come to my house. We were going to start a fire, maybe use a spritzer, which I clearly can’t have right now – damn. “And we sat down and watched the new JLo movie, which I was so excited about.

“B**ches f**king made other plans. They already have plans. And they left me alone.”

To be clear, it seems unlikely that the Biden administration will jeopardize deliveries to customers outside the United States this year or anytime soon with this move. The decision does not apply to current exports and analysts say it will not stop a group of new LNG projects that have already been approved and are under construction. These are likely to significantly increase the United States' ability to export gas in the coming years.

The government says it needs time to determine whether additional LNG projects, which are still on the drawing board, would be in the public interest. Such an analysis would include weighing the greenhouse gas emissions that future projects would create, as well as their impact on the economy and national security. In a statement, President Biden said the pause on approvals “sees the climate crisis for what it is: the existential threat of our time.”

The Biden administration appears to be trying to reassure countries that have become dependent on American natural gas. This pause will have “no impact our ability to supply our allies in EuropeAsia or other recipients of already authorized U.S. exports,” the Department of Energy said in a statement Friday.

Analysts say that what could cause unrest to allies, especially in Europe, is the message that they may no longer be able to rely as heavily on supply from the United States in the coming years. “What this really highlights for Europe is that we are running out of options,” said Henning Gloystein, director of energy and climate change at Eurasia Group, a political risk firm.

While Russia now supplies Europe with liquefied natural gas, European leaders want to reduce these flows. The Eastern Mediterranean seems questionable as a major source in the future due to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Apart from the United States, the other likely major producer of additional liquefied natural gas is Qatar, a small Middle Eastern emirate.

Mr. Gloystein said LNG from the United States is particularly attractive to European buyers because transportation distances from North America are relatively short and the terms offered by U.S. suppliers are much more flexible than those from most other sources. For example, they typically allow a buyer to easily resell gas, while other gas powers such as Qatar often impose restrictions. “The US is the one that matters,” he said.

The Biden administration is suspending a decision on whether to approve what would be the largest natural gas export terminal in the United States, a delay that could extend beyond the November election and could spell trouble for that project, according to three people and 16 other proposed terminals. with expertise.

The White House is directing the Energy Department to expand its review of the project to consider its impact on climate change, as well as the economy and national security, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss publicly. internal deliberations. The Energy Department has never rejected a proposed natural gas project because of its expected environmental impacts.

The move comes as Biden gears up for what is likely to be a contentious re-election campaign. He is trying to woo climate voters, especially the young activists who helped him win the 2020 election and who have been angered by his administration's approval last year of the Willow project, a massive oil drilling operation in Alaska.

It also comes because the United States leads the world in both liquefied natural gas exports and oil and gas production. The country has seven export terminals five more are under construction.

The project in question, Calcasieu Pass 2, is one of 17 additional terminals proposed by the fossil fuel industry.

Still, Republicans and former President Donald J. Trump, who is expected to be his party's choice to challenge Mr. Biden in November, will surely try to take advantage of any delay to give him permission, charging that Mr. Biden is hindering American energy.

“This move would amount to a functional ban on new LNG export licenses,” Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said in the Senate on Wednesday. “The administration's war on affordable domestic energy has been bad news for American workers and consumers alike.”

Mr Trump, who has wrongly called global warming a “hoax”, has pledged to expand fossil fuel production and shred Mr Biden's climate agenda. “We will start drilling immediately, baby drilling,” he told voters after winning the Iowa caucuses earlier this month.

Calcasieu Pass 2, or CP2, would dwarf the country's existing export terminals. The $10 billion project It would be located along a navigation channel connecting the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Charles, La. It would export up to 20 million tons of natural gas per year, increasing the current amount of U.S. gas exports by about 20 percent.

The project first requires approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission before moving to the Energy Department for consideration.

The Energy Department must weigh whether the export terminal is in “the public interest,” a subjective determination. But now the White House has asked for additional analysis of CP2's climate impacts.

Natural gas, which consists mainly of methane, is cleaner when burned than coal. But methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas in the short term, compared to carbon dioxide, and can leak anywhere in the supply chain, from the production well to processing plants to the stove. The process of liquefying gas to make it suitable for transportation is also incredibly energy intensive, creating even more emissions.

Whatever new criteria is used to evaluate CP2 is expected to be applied to the other 16 proposed natural gas terminals awaiting approval.

Scientists have overwhelmingly said that countries must make deep and rapid cuts to emissions from the burning of gas, oil and coal if humanity is to avoid a climate catastrophe. Last month, the United States, along with 196 other countries, pledged at the United Nations Climate Summit in Dubai to transition away from fossil fuels.

More than 150 scientists signed a letter dated December 19 to Mr. Biden, urging him to reject CP2 and the additional proposed facilities. “The scale of the proposed build-out of LNG in the coming years is staggering,” they wrote. Approving new terminals would “put us on a continued path toward escalating climate chaos,” the letter said.

Given the scientific imperative, experts say it is reasonable to consider climate impacts before building new gas export terminals.

“So far, there's really no need to consider the cumulative climate, economic or market impact of all these facilities,” said Ben Cahill, a senior fellow in the Center for Strategic's Energy Security and Climate Change Program and International Studies, an impartial research organization. “And it's a very fair question.”

A delay of many months could jeopardize financing for CP2, which is being proposed by Venture Global LNG, a Virginia-based startup whose other gas export terminals have already encountered equipment and shipping problems and legal disputes.

That is precisely the hope of climate activists who launched a social media campaign last fall to urge Biden to reject CP2.

“We see CP2 as stopping the first fraction of the largest LNG production to date,” said Alex Haraus, a 25-year-old social media influencer from Colorado who has led a TikTok and Instagram campaign to appeal to young voters to urge demands that Mr. Biden reject the project. His posts have been viewed approximately 7 million times on TikTok and Instagram.

Among those who saw the posts were Ali Zaidi and John Podesta, senior advisers to Mr Biden on climate policy. Mr. Podesta is also a veteran of climate advocacy and presidential campaigns. Mr. Haraus had a Zoom meeting with Mr. Zaidi this week and with Mr. Podesta last month to discuss the project, one of several meetings on CP2 between White House climate officials and environmental groups.

Climate activists have likened their CP2 campaign to a successful effort more than a decade ago to convince President Barack Obama to reject the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

In that campaign, climate activist Bill McKibben managed to transform an obscure oil pipeline project, which was on track for routine federal approval, into a high-profile symbol of Obama's commitment to fighting climate change.

The Obama administration determined that the pipeline was not “in the public interest” because of the emissions associated with producing the oil that would be transported through the pipeline.

Mr McKibben also played a major role in organizing the CP2 campaign.

“Keystone is a great example of how this can work,” said Mr. Haraus. “And we will absolutely reward or punish him for this decision,” he added, referring to Mr. Biden.

There is little division within the White House over the decision to delay CP2, in part because it is not seen as a major energy security issue, people familiar with the discussion said. That's because the United States already produces and exports so much gas. That capacity will almost double over the next four years, making the need for CP2 less urgent.

American dominance in the natural gas market is a recent story. Until 2016, the United States did not export natural gas. But the expansion of hydraulic fracking translated into a massive growth in natural gas supplies and a new export industry.

After Russia invaded Ukraine, the United States shifted exports from Asia to Europe to help allies dependent on Russian gas.

But Republicans, oil and gas companies and some energy analysts warn that even the glut of natural gas exports may not be enough to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from weaponizing natural gas supplies.

“No one hates USLNG more than Vladimir Putin,” said Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of S&P Global and an oil industry historian.

Mike Sommers, the president of the American Petroleum Institute, which represents oil and gas companies, said at an energy conference this week that curtailing construction of future terminals would harm U.S. allies, “especially those in Europe who are desperate to are to American natural gas.”

Discouraged and frustrated students have taken to various social media platforms to express their concerns and disappointment over the lack of information on this crucial issue. On There has been no official notification of this change and it is unclear why the exam dates are still not known! However, we believe that this change is unfair to students who have prepared for the exam without clear dates and planning. We urge everyone reading this to help the aspirants by joining us in calling for the postponement of the exam until July. This way, all students have a fair chance of success.”

NEET MDS aspirants have urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to consider postponing the entrance exam till July 2024. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Masters of Dental Surgery (NEET MDS ) is the eligibility exam for admission to various MDS courses for admissions during 2024-2025. It is conducted by the National Medical Sciences Examination Board (NBEMS).

“It feels discriminated against as a dental graduate as NEETMDS is reportedly scheduled for the third week of March while NEETPG has been shifted to July 7 with counseling in August. I feel the weight of unfair treatment,” the tweet read.

Another aspirant wrote, “We urge @mansukhmandviya sir & @MoHFW_INDIA @NbeIndia to look into this matter expeditiously, since you have postponed neetpg to July, at least consider Neetmd's postponement to June.
Any date shorter than this date will be a complete injustice to the entire dental fraternity. #Postponeneetmds2024untilJULI.”

King Charles III and the Princess of Wales are both dealing with medical issues that will force them to delay previously planned public engagements over the coming weeks.

The news of Kate’s admission to the London Clinic for planned abdominal surgery and of Charles undergoing a ‘corrective procedure’ for an enlarged prostate next week has served to show just how threadbare royal resources are.

With Prince William also taking leave to care for his wife and children, the so-called ‘big three’ royals will be away from duties for a time.

It means with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the US, and Prince Andrew in the cold, there is only four senior royals to call on: Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and the Duchess of Edinburgh.

It’s a stark difference to previous years, when at one time the British Royal Family was made up of 18 working royals who could be called on to help with engagements. Now, just nine members of the Firm are relied upon. 

The senior and minor royals working in 2017, compared to those covering royal engagements at the start of 2024. There are currently nine royals taking on regular duties, but with Kate in hospital, William stepping back to support her and Charles taking some time off to have a corrective procedure, there are just three senior working royals available 

In 2017, royal engagements, such as trips abroad, Investitures and state functions were covered by 12 senior and around six minor working royals.

But this year, there is only seven senior working royals, alongside minor working members such as The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Alongside Charles, then Prince of Wales, and Queen Camilla, then The Duchess of Cornwall and Kate and William, the senior royals in 2017 included Harry and Meghan.

The Duchess of Sussex – who along with the Duke now lives in the US with their two children after stepping back from their duties in 2020 – made her first royal appearance with her husband in Nottingham in December 2017.

While on August 2 of that year, the late Prince Philip completed his final engagement after 70 years of service as he retired from his royal duties, aged 96. 

Andrew, Anne, Edward and his wife Sophie, now The Duchess of Edinburgh, also supported the late Queen Elizabeth II during that time as senior working royals.

Minor royals, meanwhile, that have helped out in previous years include Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, the daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

In 2019, Eugenie joined the late Queen at the Royal Maundy service at Windsor Castle’s St George’s Chapel, and both the York sisters attended the King’s Coronation last year.

In December 2013, the two princesses made an official visit to Germany to promote the UK abroad, most notable for the suggestion they drove through a red light at the Brandenburg Gate in their Union Jack emblazoned Mini Cooper. 

The trip was taken at the request of Number 10, and their travel expenses were paid for by Prince Andrew. 

But with the Duke of York exiled from public duties, and both Princesses busy with their young families and jobs – Beatrice at Afiniti and Eugenie at the art gallery Hauser and Wirth – it’s unikely there will be a repeat.  

Despite calls for Charles to bring the siblings further into the fold this year, their father Prince Andrew’s scandals would no doubt give Charles pause. 

The Duke of Kent, 88, and Princess Alexandra, 87, have also both slowed down in recent years.

Although they are both officially still working royals, Princess Alexandra drastically reduced her workload last year, while the Duke of Kent has also scaled back due to mobility issues. 

Regardless, it’s unlikely two octogenarians will be able to step up to fill the void left by much younger family members like Harry and Meghan. 

It’s no wonder Princess Anne warned recently against slimming down the monarchy further after Megxit and Prince Andrew’s fall from grace, declaring: ‘It doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing.’

The King is known to be in favour of a smaller and cheaper monarchy – but royal experts have long warned that the monarch’s vision of a slimmed-down Firm would likely leave the Royal Family ‘s day-to-day responsibilities ‘impossible to fulfil’.

In May 2023, days before the King’s Coronation, his sister Princess Anne, 73, insisted the British monarchy is in rude health and warned against slimming it down further.

The late Queen’s only daughter, who is the hardest working royal in terms of annual engagements, spoke in defence of the Royal Family, insisting it brings ‘long-term stability’, ‘continuity’ and ‘goodness’ to the UK and Commonwealth.

In a nod to the larger number of working royals when Meghan, Harry and Andrew were in the fold, Anne said: ‘I think that “slimmed down” was said in a day when there were a few more people to make that seem like a justifiable comment’.

When it was put to her that the world changes, Anne said: ‘It changes a bit. I mean, it doesn’t sound like a good idea from where I’m standing, I have to say. I’m not quite sure what else, you know, we can do.’ 

Royal experts agreed, with author Phil Dampier saying there is a shortage of working royals for at least the next decade, with any further cuts leaving them unable to fulfil daily duties. 

He told MailOnline: ‘We have got a slimmed down monarchy by default because Harry and Meghan have left and Andrew is in disgrace. But there is now a real problem with most of the working royals being over seventy.

Princess Anne, stoic in her duty following the late Queen's death in 2022, will likely step in to cover more royal duties following yesterday's announcements about the King and Princess of Wales' respective health issues

‘It leaves just William and Kate and Edward and Sophie until their children get older. So for the next decade there is a shortage of man and woman power. 

‘You could bring in the likes of Beatrice and Eugenie to do more, but Charles has always been against that, and they are associated with their parents.

‘We are going to have to accept that the days of having 1,600 patronages like the Queen and Prince Philip are probably over.’

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams also noted the ‘challenge’ for the King and said he will need to decide ‘how slimmed down he wants the monarchy to be’.

It comes after the Princess of Wales spent a second night in hospital after major abdominal surgery as William, her parents and siblings cleared their diaries to support her recovery and care for George, Charlotte and Louis.

Kate is said to be ‘doing well’ as she recovers following the procedure at the London Clinic in Marylebone revealed on the same day King Charles announced he was taking a short break for treatment for an enlarged prostate.

With Prince William also taking leave to care for his wife and children, the so-called ‘big three’ royals will be away from duties over the coming weeks with experts saying that with Harry and Meghan in the US, and Andrew in the cold, there is only Princess Anne and her brother Prince Edward to call on.

Kate is not expected to return to public events until after Easter, and her husband will combine being by his wife’s and children’s side throughout.

Any royal tours William and Kate had in the diary for the coming months will also no longer take place amid speculation they would visit Italy together in March. 

Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton and sibling Pippa Matthews and James Middleton are already rallying round and helping support her recovery at her home in Windsor, which is close to their own homes.

The Royal Family’s ‘big three’ are out of action because Buckingham Palace also revealed yesterday that  King Charles III will attend hospital next week to be treated with a ‘corrective procedure’ for an enlarged prostate.

The two health updates on senior royals came within 90 minutes of each other, with Kensington Palace coming first at 2pm then Buckingham Palace followed at 3.30pm.

She was not rushed to hospital and her condition was not something that developed over the weekend, according to reports. 

The Prince will also postpone a number of engagements as he supports his family, and will not undertake official duties while his wife is in hospital.

He will also do no official duties during the immediate period after Kate’s return home. Royal aides will provide a revised schedule for William in due course.

It is unclear what the exact nature of the surgery is, with The Palace unwilling to reveal any details in respect of Kate’s ‘medical privacy’. However it did not rule out the prospect that she may choose to speak publicly about it herself in the future.

Sun GP Dr Zoe Williams told The Sun: ‘This might be something that has been bothering her for her whole life which she has not got round to resolving, or an issue that has come to light more recently.

‘Two weeks in hospital is longer than we would normally expect, but she doesn’t have a normal life. She’s the future queen so the doctors will be erring on the side of caution.

‘We all hope it is something minor and the surgery is straightforward, but precaution is wise. With anything medical you can never be completely certain how things will go.

‘The most important thing is that she gets enough recovery time and it’s not too stressful for her and her family.’

Neither William nor Kate will travel internationally over the coming months.

They were said to have been planning a high-profile visit to Rome this spring as part of a European charm offensive, but this is now in doubt. Another scheduled foreign military engagement could be affected. 

Kate will almost certainly be forced to miss a number of high-profile events she might otherwise been expected to attend. 

She and William have regularly turned up for the Baftas, the biggest night in British cinema, held in central London this month, but this would be too soon for the recovering princess. 

Events King Charles could miss while being treated for an enlarged prostate

18-19th January: Meetings and events at Dumfries House with foreign dignitaries and Cabinet members

25th January: Burns Night 

27th January: Holocaust Memorial Day 

She is also likely to miss out on a long-standing royal tradition in March – handing out shamrocks to the Irish Guards on St Patrick’s Day in her role as the regiment’s honorary colonel. 

The annual Commonwealth Day Service, also held in March, is likely to have to go ahead without her. The princess, patron of English rugby, is also unlikely to be well enough to attend the Guinness Six Nations, which kicks off next month. 

The Princess marked her birthday just over a week ago, with the monarchy’s official social media accounts sharing a new behind-the-scenes photo of the princess at the King’s coronation.

Kate usually enjoys good health but was previously admitted to hospital while pregnant after suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum – severe morning sickness.

A palace spokesman said: ‘Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic for planned abdominal surgery.

‘The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery. Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.

‘The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.

‘Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share.

‘The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements.  She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.’

WHAT ENGAGEMENTS WILL KATE LIKELY MISS OUT ON? 

FEBRUARY 

February 2 (and onwards) – Six Nations Championship

February 13 – Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) 

February 18 – BAFTA Film Awards

MARCH

March 1 – St David’s Day 

March 11 – Commonwealth Day Service  

March 17 – St Patrick’s Day

Donald Trump paid tribute to his late mother-in-law Amalija Knavs and called a New York judge an “animal” for refusing to postpone the defamation trial of E. Jean Carroll so he could attend her funeral.

The former president, 77, said Melania's mother was an “incredible woman” with “great beauty inside” during one of his final campaign events before the Iowa caucuses.

Knavs died last week at the age of 78 after spending the holidays in a hospital in Miami with her daughter by her side.

The funeral will take place in Florida on Wednesday, but Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan refused to delay the trial for a week.

Trump is facing up to $10 million in defamation damages against columnist Carroll after a jury found last year that he sexually assaulted her.

The Republican frontrunner, who enters the caucuses on Monday with a 28-point lead over Nikki Haley, wants to be at wife Melania's side during the service.

“My wife's mother, who was incredible and a great beauty inside and out – incredible woman – just passed away,” Trump told the crowd in Indianola on Sunday.

“And my wife was pretty devastated about that. I have a lawsuit going on, a total bogus lawsuit.

'And we asked the judge if I could take a day off for a funeral for my mother-in-law, who was also very close to me.

'And he said, “No.” These are animals. Can you imagine.

“These are bad people, these are radical left lunatics who want to hurt me because they think it will hurt me in the election so Biden can win the election.

'I don't think people are buying into it.

'I would like to support my wife who will be present at the funeral of her mother, a very special woman.

Does she have to stand there alone? No, no, I'll be there.

“Anyway, I'll be there. But what a shame that a judge didn't say, “Yes, we can take a day off.”

He then went on a tirade about how all the persecutions against him started when he became the frontrunner in the Republican presidential race.

“You know, all these charges could have been made three years ago. They saved them all for the election – all of them. I got one in Iowa. I got one during New Hampshire – the day before New Hampshire.”

Earlier in the rally, Trump told climate protesters to “go home to mommy” after they started arguing.

A group of environmental protesters interrupted Trump's rally in Indianola, Iowa, on Sunday, holding up banners accusing the former president of being a “climate criminal.”

The protesters were scattered throughout the crowd and were escorted from a student union building where Trump held a final rally before the Iowa caucuses on Monday.

Not only were those who supported Trump inspired to come out in -18 degree temperatures, but those who opposed his candidacy also decided it was worth braving the cold.

'Thank you darling, thank you. That's OK,” Trump told the first protesters who interrupted the rally. 'Go home to mom, mom is waiting. Go home to mommy.'

Trump asks Supreme Court to postpone hearing on immunity claim https://usmail24.com/trump-supreme-court-immunity-html/ https://usmail24.com/trump-supreme-court-immunity-html/#respond Wed, 20 Dec 2023 20:06:50 +0000 https://usmail24.com/trump-supreme-court-immunity-html/

Former President Donald J. Trump the Supreme Court urged Wednesday to postpone a decision on a key question in his federal prosecution on charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election: whether he has “absolute immunity” for actions he took as president.

The question, Trump’s letter said, must be “resolved in a cautious, measured manner – and not at breakneck speed.” He urged the justices not to “rush to decide the issues with reckless abandon.”

The request appeared to be part of Trump’s overall strategy to delay the trial in the case, which is set to start in March.

Last week, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith the Supreme Court asked to bypass a federal appeals court and agree to hear the immunity question quickly. Mr. Trump opposed that request on Wednesday, saying the importance of the case warranted careful and unhurried deliberation by the appeals court before the justices decide whether to take it up.

Mr. Trump’s letter said that Mr. Smith’s desire for expedited treatment was motivated by political considerations.

“He confuses the ‘public interest’ with the clear party interest in ensuring that President Trump will be subjected to a months-long criminal trial at the height of a presidential campaign in which he is the leading candidate and the only serious opponent of the current administration. ” the letter said. “The combination of a nearly three-year wait to present this case and the special counsel’s current demand for an extraordinary expedition, supported by the vaguest of justifications, creates a compelling inference of partisan motivation.”

The Supreme Court will likely decide shortly whether to hear the case. If so, the country could hear arguments in January and make a decision in the following weeks. If it dismisses the case for the time being, the appeals court will hear the question, after which the losing party will almost certainly return to the Supreme Court.

While working on a parallel track, Mr. Smith has also asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to consider the issue simultaneously. Last week, a three-judge panel of the court agreed to Mr. Smith’s request for an expedited hearing of the case and set an aggressive timeline for all written submissions to be filed by January 2. The court set oral arguments for January 2. 9.

Judge Tanya S. Chutkan of the Federal District Court in Washington has put the case on hold while the appeals court considers the immunity issue — though prosecutors have tried to push it forward, angering Mr. Trump’s lawyers.

The two sides agree that the immunity issue is extremely important, but they disagree on the timing. Mr. Smith has asked the justices to take swift action, relying on a relatively rare procedure called certiorari before judgment in an attempt to bypass the appeals court. Mr. Trump urged the justices to allow the appeal in the case to proceed in the usual manner.

The resolution of the immunity issue will be crucial in deciding whether the election interference case goes to trial before the 2024 election. It could also affect the timing of some of Trump’s other criminal cases, which depend largely on when the case goes before a jury in Washington.

Mr. Trump would like to delay the two federal trials he faces until after the race is over because, if he wins, he would have the power to have charges against him dropped.

The Supreme Court will soon face another question arising from the aftermath of the 2020 election. On Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Mr. Trump is ineligible to vote in that state’s primary ballot, under a provision in the constitution that prohibits officials involved in insurrection from holding federal office. Mr. Trump has said he will appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.

In his request to expedite proceedings in the immunity case, Mr. Smith relied on a 1974 precedent: United States against Nixonin which the Supreme Court unanimously – and quickly – ruled that President Richard M. Nixon, then still in office, must comply with a subpoena requesting recordings of his conversations in the Oval Office, dismissing his claims of executive privilege.

“Neither the doctrine of separation of powers nor the need for confidentiality of high-level communications, alone, can in all circumstances sustain an absolute, unqualified presidential prerogative of immunity from judicial proceedings,” wrote Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. .

Mr Smith noted that the Supreme Court acted with considerable speed in the case, using the “certiorari before judgment” procedure. The court granted review a week after the petition was filed, scheduled immediate arguments, and ruled sixteen days later.

Trump’s lawyers, on the other hand, largely relied on that Nixon vs. Fitzgerald, a 1982 decision that also involved Nixon. It was a civil case brought by an Air Force analyst who said he was fired in 1970 in retaliation for his criticism of cost overruns. By the time the Supreme Court acted, Nixon had already been out of office for several years.

By a vote of 5 to 4, the judges ruled in Nixon’s favor. “Given the special character of the constitutional office and functions of the President,” Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. wrote. for the majority, “we believe it is appropriate to recognize absolute presidential immunity from liability for damages for actions within the ‘outer perimeter’ of the country. his official responsibility.”

In December, Judge Chutkan rejected Trump’s arguments. “Whatever immunity a sitting president enjoys,” she wrote, “the United States has only one president at a time, and that position does not confer a lifetime ‘get out of jail free’ pass.”

She added that the 1982 decision did not address alleged criminal behavior.

“The rationale for immunizing a president’s controversial decisions from civil liability does not extend to protecting his criminality,” Judge Chutkan wrote.

The language in the 1982 decision supported the distinction between civil and criminal cases, she wrote.

Justice Powell’s majority opinion noted that “the court has previously recognized that there is a smaller public interest in lawsuits for civil damages than, for example, in criminal prosecutions.”

Chief Justice Burger underscored this point in a concurring opinion. “Immunity is limited to civil damages claims,” he wrote.

In 2020, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in Trump v. Vance that Mr. Trump had no absolute right to block the release of his financial records in a criminal investigation.

“No citizen, not even the President, is categorically above the general duty to provide evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said. wrote for the majority.

The Waifs have been forced to postpone their 20th anniversary Australian tour after their singer was seriously injured in an e-scooter accident.

Folk rock band frontman Donna Simpson suffered a ‘horrific’ crash while driving the vehicle in Broome, Western Australia.

The accident is said to have occurred after the band’s performance at the Roebuck Bay Hotel in Broome on September 24.

A statement from the band, shared on the band’s Facebook page on Tuesday, explained that some dates for upcoming shows as part of their Up All Night tour had been rescheduled for next year.

Their upcoming November 10 gig in Geelong has been moved to March 8, but the band will play California’s Day On The Green festival as planned in December.

The band’s set at South Australia’s Handpicked Festival this weekend will go ahead, but without Donna.

‘I’m sorry to miss everyone at Handpicked this weekend, but I’m confident my little sister, Josh, Dave and Ben will give you all a wonderful set without me. Not as good as my set without her at Blues Fest, but close!’ Donna wrote in the Facebook post.

Donna explained that she has “four broken ribs, two collapsed lungs and a lot of bruises.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Royal Flying Doctors service who got me to Perth quickly and safely,” she continued in the statement.
