New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg Sues Rep. Jim Jordan

On Tuesday, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg sued Republican congressman Jim Jordan to stop what Bragg called an “unconstitutional attack” on the ongoing criminal prosecution of former US president Trump.

The lawsuit aims to block a subpoena of Mark Pomerantz, a former prosecutor who had led the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation of Trump. The subpoena, issued last week by the House of Representatives judiciary committee, which Jordan chairs, seeks Pomerantz’s appearance before the committee for a deposition.

I have the Lawsuit on my website.

The Trials of Donald Trump - UPDATE on the Investigations as of April 10, 2023. The former president is facing multiple investigations into alleged criminal activity.

In New York, he was indicted in the "Catch and Kill" Payoff case in Manhattan.

The Federal Cases. The Department of Justice is conducting two investigations. Special Counsel Jack Smith is handling those two cases. They are alleged crimes connected to the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol and the stolen classified case in Florida. 

In Fulton County, Georgia.

Trump faces possible charges of election fraud or racketeering related to an alleged “coordinated scheme” to undermine the 2020 election results in Georgia.

And on April 25, Jury Selection begins in New York in the Defamation Civil suits involving writer E. Jean Carroll. 

In this episode, I provide updates on these cases. 

Two of the Tennessee Three may get their jobs back this week. The Fox Dominion Lawsuit picks a jury. There are Spies Among us. And more.

I'm calling this Episode of Political Woman - In Other News...because there is Nothing about Trump in this Episode. Whew! 

On Tuesday, April 3, former President Donald Trump became the first man in the United States to be charged with a crime.  Never one to do anything small, Trump was charged with 34 Felony Counts of Falsifying Business Records. In addition to the Indictment document, which lists the charges filed against Trump, District Attorney Alvin Bragg also released a "Statement of Facts." This fascinating document tells the story of three successful men, Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, and David Pecker. They are the inventors of the "Catch and Kill Scheme." 

The scheme involved a porn star, a Playboy Model, and a Trump Tower Doorman. It included sexual encounters, lies, money, big business, politics, power, and crime.

In this edition of Political Woman, I read from the "Statement of Facts." I will post the documents on my website.

For the first time in U.S. History a former President is being charged with a crime.

Here is what we know:

Trump will fly to NY on Monday. Stay overnight at Trump Tower.

He will turn himself in to authorities on Tuesday morning with his attorneys and secret service detail.

Special arrangements will most likely be in place because he is a former president.

Once in the building, he will be booked. That includes:

Being handcuff. He will not be handcuffed.

Being fingerprinted. He will be.

Mug shot. There is now reporting that there will NOT be a Mug Shot.

At 2:15, Trump will appear for Judge Juan Marichan. The indictment will be unsealed, and the charges will be read.

According to reports, Trump is facing 30 felony counts.

He will enter a plea of guilty or not guilty.

Trump is now scheduled to give a speech on Tuesday evening in Florida. 

UPDATE: Today's school shooting in Nashville, TN., brings children under 11 years old to SIXTY  (60) child deaths by gun violence. President Biden called on Congress to pass the Assault Weapons Ban and other gun safety reforms. 

There have been 117 Mass shootings in the United States this year. At this moment, there have been 9,488 Gun Violence Deaths in 2023. And it's not even April yet. 

If you wait just a couple of hours, these numbers increase. The statistics are even more heartbreaking when you look at the number of children under 18 who are being killed by people shooting guns. Some of those deaths are the result of children killing other children. 

So far this year, 385 Americans under 18 have died from gunshot wounds. 

Five years ago, a group of GenZ's had had enough. They established the "March for Our Lives" Organization. Their goal is to lobby for common sent gun safety laws. It's way past time for all of us to support them and that goal.

Trump's Crisis Communications? Call Out The Mob? Once again, the twice-impeached ex-president has called on his supporters to Protest! Protest! Protest!

This form of Crisis Communication has worked for Trump in the past. He used it on January 6, resulting in a disaster for the country. And he is trying to use it again. Let's hope we are smarter this time.

The Stormy Daniels Donald Trump case involves a porn star, hush money, a one-time Trump Legal Fixer, and allegations of Campaign Finance Violations. It began in 2006 at a Golf Tournament in Lake Tahoe and may end in a criminal court in New York City. It's up to a Manhattan Grand Jury that is hearing testimony today from that former Fixer, Michael Cohen.
