Trump Discussion

Towards the end of last year, federal prosecutors started examining two loans totaling $8m wired to Trump Media, through the Caribbean, from two obscure entities that both appear to be controlled in part by the relation of an ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin, the sources said.
Anyone else think Trump's money laundering has gone too far?

Oh more complications as DWAC merges with Truth social: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/27/truth-social-merger-trump-subpoenas-digital-world
Digital World is a special purpose acquisition company (Spac), a blank cheque company set up to go public and then find a company to merge with. Spacs are not supposed to have a deal lined up before they go public.

The SEC is investigating whether or not Digital World and Trump Media held serious discussions before the Spac went public last September and, if so, why those talks were not disclosed in regulatory filings.

Regarding Trump's handling of classified documents:
Meanwhile, Smith continues to pursue Trump defense lawyer Evan Corcoran. In an earlier appearance before the grand jury, Corcoran declined to answer questions about his conversations with Trump related to the classified documents, citing attorney-client privilege. Prosecutors are asking a judge to find that he must answer because the conversations may have been part of advancing a crime or fraud.
Corcoran has now been ordered to - https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/17/...rm=link&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twcnnbrk

The Justice Department has obtained an internal Trump campaign report prepared for Trump telling him he had lost the election, and there was no widespread fraud. The report was presented to Trump before he started making phone calls trying to overturn election results.

Of course Trump would do this - oh well, he's in real trouble for some less serious stuff now! LMAO
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump in new court filing Monday asked to "quash" an Atlanta special grand jury probe investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Trump sends Alvin Bragg envelope with message "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" and white powder before his indictment.

In a post on Truth Social, the social media platform he founded, Mr Trump warned on Friday of possible "death and destruction" if he is indicted.


"What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country?" Mr Trump wrote.

Personally, I do believe that there's an agenda against Donald J Trump. They certainly want to have him in jail because they know for sure that he's a thorn in their flash.

Donald J Trump will always be my number 1 for USA 🇺🇸 Presidency.
I don't like Trump at all. I respect your view though.
What information source do you read? I bet you read fox news.
 
Former US President Donald Trump has said "it is great to be home" as he arrived in Aberdeen on a visit to his Scottish golf properties.

Donald Trump's mother may have come from Scotland but he's had a very difficult relationship with people and politicians in the country of her birth.

While he is now opening the second of two golf courses in Aberdeenshire, his investment there remains a fraction of the one billion pounds he originally promised.

Developing the site brought him into conflict with some of his neighbours and environmental campaigners who wanted to preserve the sand dune system and its natural habitats.

Donald Trump also clashed with the Scottish government in court in an unsuccessful attempt to block a wind farm off the Aberdeenshire coast.
His redevelopment of Turnberry in Ayrshire was more warmly received.

All Holyrood party leaders opposed his election as President in 2016 and the new First Minister Humza Yousaf suggested Trump be barred from the UK following the storming of the US Capitol building by his supporters.

Do you guys think Trump should be banned from the UK?
@Web Diva you may like this thread !
 
Trump is an arrogant prick and I’m sure just like any successful businessman, politician and millionaires he’s committed some type of tax fraud but he’s still the best thing for America. Since both Democrats and Republicans don’t want him. And since the media is doing anything they possibly could to make him fail he has to be something good. Trump 2024 🇺🇸

Can I ask you, what do you like about Trump?
 
A lawyer for a writer accusing Donald Trump of rape in a civil trial urged a jury to hold the ex-president liable for the alleged assault.
"No one, not even in a former president is above the law," said Ms Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, on Monday.

Correct. No one is or should be above the law!
A jury in a civil case has found former President Donald Trump sexually abused a magazine columnist in a New York department store in the 1990s.
Ms Carroll's lawsuit argued that Mr Trump had defamed her in an October 2022 post on his social media site in which he called her claims a "complete con job" and "a Hoax and a lie".

Her legal team argued Mr Trump had acted as a "witness against himself" during the deposition when he doubled down on comments he made in a 2005 recording.

In the audio, known as the Access Hollywood tape and leaked in 2016, Mr Trump suggested women let stars "do anything" to them, including grabbing their genitals.
Trump can't even lie properly!!

The former Elle magazine columnist was able to bring the civil case against Mr Trump after New York passed the Adult Survivors Act in 2022.

The law allowed a one-year period for victims to file sexual assault lawsuits in the state involving claims that would have normally exceeded statute limitations.

The standard of proof in civil cases is lower than in criminal cases, meaning that jurors were only required to find that it was more likely than not that Mr Trump assaulted Ms Carroll.
I think the law should go further in allowing criminal charges to be pursued after so long - the victims must have justice, and we must be protected from offenders !!
 
A New York jury has concluded that it is more likely than not that Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed E Jean Carroll. The verdict may be a harbinger of political and legal damage to come.
He said that both Ms Carroll and another woman who testified that Mr Trump sexually assaulted her were not his type - a description he also applied, voluntarily, to the female attorney conducting the deposition itself.

For a jury weighing whether Mr Trump was the kind of person capable of sexual assault - or, at least, whether he was more credible than his accuser - it was exactly the wrong attitude to present.
Gosh, the evidence is pretty clear from the first paragraph above and his character, but... character is not conclusive :oops:

@fords8 @Nycguy76 are you convinced to vote Biden now? :rolleyes:

I would never vote Biden. That guy is destroying America along with his leftist administration. America was never this bad as it is now. Trump will have my vote for 2024. I also would never take anything serious that a leftist media outlet like the BBC has to say about Trump.
 
@Web Diva did you hear about this? It's bad
Scandal-plagued Republican congressman George Santos has pleaded not guilty to more than a dozen federal charges, including fraud and money laundering.

This guy is just like Trump!
Outside the New York court, he called the investigation a "witch hunt".

How did they not check this stuff??? Just wow!!!
Since he first took office in January it has emerged that much of his biography was fabricated.

Wow, a line has been crossed.
He has been accused of lying about his college degrees and his work experience; violating campaign finance and conflict of interest laws; falsely claiming his grandparents survived the Holocaust; and creating a fake animal charity that he used to siphon away cash meant for a veteran's dying dog.

First, according to federal prosecutors, Mr Santos defrauded those who gave him money for his House of Representatives campaign, instead using the funds for personal expenses including luxury designer clothing and credit card payments.

Second, Mr Santos allegedly participated in an unemployment insurance fraud scheme, claiming Covid-19 government assistance despite earning a salary of $120,000 (£95,000) through his employment with a Florida-based investment firm - a firm that was shut down by the federal government in 2021 over allegations it was a Ponzi scheme.

Finally, prosecutors claim the Republican misled the Congress about his finances.

Mr Santos recused himself from two House committees over the "ongoing attention" earlier this year, but he resisted the growing pressure to step down, announcing in April that he would seek a second term in 2024.

On Wednesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that Republicans would withhold judgement until the outcome of his case.
 
Former US President Donald Trump has filed a court notice of appeal two days after a civil trial found he sexually abused a woman, E Jean Carroll, in a New York department store.

@fords8 @Web Diva what's your view on this? Do you think Ms Caroll has gotten what she deserved? I feel like she should have come forward for a criminal trial if she was genuinely raped. However, I do empathise with rape victims, in that you never know what's going on in their minds. Ppl react differently to things, especially events as traumatic as rape. Things like emotional turmoil, needing to process what's happened, etc.

However, to some extent though, this does feel politically motivated. What I do see though, is the possibility that rape victims may have wanted to put the past behind them for their own sake, and I get how a legitimate rape victim would find it traumatic for the perpetrator to be in power, and how empowering it can be to have one's sense of justice fulfilled. Personally? I'm not for the emotionalist black and white of some ppl, I believe everyone has different limits to things.
The standard of proof in civil cases is lower than in criminal cases, meaning that jurors were only required to find that it was more likely than not that Mr Trump assaulted Ms Carroll.

Just a little nuts, right?
While the jury found Mr Trump liable for sexual battery and defamation of Ms Carroll, they did not find Mr Trump liable of raping her. To do so, the jury would have needed to have been convinced that Mr Trump had engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse with Ms Carroll.
 
I will have to read up on the case. I will say that no one deserves to be raped. A lot of people don't want to see Trump back in the white house. So a lot of stuff is coming out. On the subject of her getting 5M. If that is what they feel is right, who am I to say.

I am looking forward to all the campaigns, elections, and so on that is coming our way in the US.
