Trump turned to the high court in a last-ditch effort to stop the hearing, citing the conservative majorityâs explosive opinion in July that granted him and other former presidents immunity from criminal prosecution for their official acts.
But five of the nine justices said Trumpâs immunity concerns about evidence presented at his trial can be addressed âin the ordinary course on appeal.â

„We will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them,“ Trump said.
„The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled,“ he continued. „So that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left‘s political enemies, which they‘re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.“
Mit dem Tag der AmtseinfĂŒhrung soll der Umbau der Exekutive beginnen. Ziel ist eine drastische Zentralisierung der Regierungspolitik, bei der das WeiĂe Haus eine straffe Kontrolle ĂŒber alle Bundesbehörden, einschlieĂlich des Justizministeriums erhalten wĂŒrde.
Damit könnte er entscheidend auf Verfahren gegen ihn und andere Einfluss nehmen, die unter anderem am Sturm auf das Kapitol am 6. Januar 2021 beteiligt waren. Es wĂŒrde ihm auĂerdem ermöglichen, gegen Personen vorzugehen, die diese Verfahren angestoĂen haben.
Die Ministerien fĂŒr Bildung und Heimatschutz etwa sollen abgeschafft werden, die US-Bundespolizei FBI, „eine zunehmend gesetzlose Organisation“, soll von Grund auf erneuert werden.
The immense gravity of the case weighed heavily on the Supreme Court on Thursday, with justices across the ideological spectrum expressing fears of the new order they could unleash.
The immediate question is whether Trump will face trial in his Jan. 6 criminal case before the 2024 election. But the conservative-led court‘s decision will shape history well beyond November.
„We‘re writing a rule for the ages,“ Justice Neil Gorsuch observed.
Donald Jr., an executive vice president at the Trump Organization and a co-defendant in the case, will be the first of Trumpâs adult children to take the stand, followed by Eric and Ivanka Trump. Their father is set to testify on Monday.
Scheduling this trial is particularly complicated since Trump is a defendant in three other criminal cases. In New York â where Trump faces state charges related to repayment of hush money given to an adult-film star during the 2016 presidential campaign â a judge also set the trial date for March 2024.
Trumpâs federal trial in Florida is set to begin in May 2024.
That means that Trump could become the presumptive GOP nominee in the 2024 presidential election at the same time as his lawyers are in court for his trial for seeking to steal the last election. Neither political scientists nor legal scholars have really anticipated such a scenario, so no technical term exists to describe it, but I can suggest one: a huge mess.
The judge overseeing the former presidentâs federal election case ignored Trumpâs request to postpone the trial until 2026.

CNN has previously reported that Trump at the time was furious over a New Yorker article about Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley that said Milley argued against striking Iran and was concerned Trump would set in motion a full-scale conflict. (…)
âHe said that I wanted to attack Iran, Isnât it amazing?â Trump says as the sound of papers shuffling can be heard. âI have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this â this is off the record but â they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him.â

Wait â war with Iran?
Yes, in a detail thatâs been almost entirely glossed over, central to this case are a set of secret government plans for attacking Iran.
Former President Donald Trumpâs allies are painting his Thursday arraignment as an attempt by President Biden to crush his political rival ahead of the 2024 election and distract from bribery allegations against his own family.
Trump pleaded „not guilty“ to four federal counts stemming from alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Biden. Itâs his second federal indictment and third criminal indictment in the span of less than five months.
Former President Donald Trump was arraigned Thursday at the E. Barrett Prettyman courthouse in Washington, D.C., on criminal charges stemming from his efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump entered a not-guilty plea to Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya, who set the date for his next hearing on Aug. 28 at 10 a.m. before Judge Tanya Chutkan.
The first GOP debate in the 2024 presidential race is Aug. 23 in Milwaukee, Wisc.
Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty after being formally arrested and arraigned for conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The former president was indicted on four charges by a grand jury hearing evidence in special counsel Jack Smithâs investigation into the alleged conspiracy to overturn the election and the resulting January 6 Capitol riot.
With his latest Justice Department indictment, former President Donald Trump now faces a whopping 78 criminal counts. Trump has proclaimed his innocence, but if he were convicted and then sentenced to the maximum term for each count, he would theoretically face hundreds of years in prison.
One of the first to release a statement was former CIA spy and former Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, a long-shot for the nomination and a very vocal GOP Trump critic.
„Let me be crystal clear: Trump‘s presidential bid is driven by an attempt to stay out of prison and scam his supporters into footing his legal bills. Furthermore, his denial of the 2020 election results and actions on Jan. 6 show he‘s unfit for office,“ Hurd wrote.

According to the IDF spokesperson, the exercise includes several scenarios such as attacking strategic depth targets, achieving air superiority in space, and cyber defense against a variety of threats
(July 11, 2023)
Another significant challenge is the relatively long distance between Israel and Iranian nuclear targets, which is approximately 1,200 miles, beyond the conventional travel distances of Israeli Air Force planes.
For this reason, the IAF is eyeing new American-made Boeing KC-46 refueling planes, which would likely be crucial for a potential strike.

„Among those pushing the president to hit Iran before Bidenâs inauguration, Milley believed, was the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. On December 18, the same day that Trump met with [Michael] Flynn to discuss instituting martial law, Milley met with Netanyahu at his home in Jerusalem to personally urge him to back off with Trump,“ wrote Baker and Glasser in an excerpt published in the New Yorker.
âIf you do this, youâre gonna have a fucking war,â Milley told him, according to the excerpt. The Israeli prime minister‘s official Twitter account noted „the two discussed regional threats, especially the Iranian aggression“ in its readout of the meeting.

It was not public at the time, but Milley believed that the nation had come closeââvery closeââto conflict with the Islamic Republic. This dangerous post-election period, Milley said, was all because of Trumpâs âHitlerâ-like embrace of the âBig Lieâ that the election had been stolen from him; Milley feared it was Trumpâs âReichstag moment,â in which, like Adolf Hitler in 1933, he would manufacture a crisis in order to swoop in and rescue the nation from it.

Trump also told Ravid that âBibi did not want to make peace,â using Netanyahuâs nickname. âNever did.â
Ravid only published excerpts of his interview on Axios on Thursday, and itâs not clear from them what Trump is referring to in the âpeaceâ comments.
Bolton cited a Trump tweet during his time in office in which the former president referred to a map of a failed Iranian missile strike that experts said contained sensitive information. Trump tweeted a photo of the site of a failed satellite launch in Iran in 2019, which Trump claimed he had the âabsolute rightâ to do.
