‘Compelling evidence’ Donald Trump committed crimes, Jan 6 hearings reveal

As the January 6 hearings continue, some experts believe there is ‘compelling evidence’ Donald Trump did in fact commit crimes

Speaking to the Guardian, ex-justice department lawyers say the hearings could lead to charges against the former president, including conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding or defrauding the United States.

Following the January 20-20 election, Trump did everything he could to discredit the result, and prevent Biden’s rise to power.

The investigative panel is planning to hold six hearings in total, analysing what Republican Liz Cheney labels as Trump’s “sophisticated seven-part plan” to overturn the election result.

The findings so far indicate Trump was told repeatedly by top aides and cabinet officials the election was NOT stolen, and these claims were “complete bullshit”.

But Trump persisted despite all of this advice, pushing ahead with the support of key allies including ex-personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

Trump teases 2024 Presidential run

Former President Donald Trump has made his first appearance since the January 6 hearings kicked off. He appeared in true Trump style with a bold speech to religious conservatives at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual conference in Nashville.

Trump labeled the January 6 hearings as a “theatrical production of partisan political fiction” and insisted he is innocent, despite damning evidence against him.

“What you’re seeing is a complete and total lie. It’s a complete and total fraud… It was a simple protest that got out of hand.”

He also commented Mike Pence, who was Vice President at the time of the Capitol riots. He told the crowd “Mike did not have the courage to act”.

Referring once again to his allegations of election fraud and Pence’s so-called failure to act.

At the recent rally, Trump also announced his intention to run for president speaking of the ‘hatred’ continuously expressed by those he calls ‘the radical left‘.

So what are Trump’s key priorities if he does run for President of the United States again?

“He wants to exbunge what happened in 2020…He wants to have a dominant position…He wants to clear the field…
I don’t think there’s any lack of desire or intent on Trump’s part to run for President in 2024″

RBA holds rates at 3.6%, shifting investor focus from property to potential stock market gains amid persistent inflation pressures.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has held interest rates at 3.6 percent, signalling a steady approach as inflation pressures persist and prompting investors to reassess their strategies in an uncertain climate.

The decision has shifted attention away from the property market, with experts suggesting the stock market may offer stronger opportunities, especially for those looking to outpace inflation over the long term.

We speak with Dale Gilham from Wealth Within about what the RBA’s call means for investors, why confidence in housing is changing, and what smarter financial choices look like in 2025.

U.S. retail sales weaken, raising concerns about consumer spending and economic resilience ahead of the holiday season.

Retail sales in the U.S. have unexpectedly weakened, raising new questions about consumer strength and the resilience of the economy. As Americans pull back on spending, analysts are watching closely to see whether this signals a broader shift toward caution in the lead-up to the holiday shopping period.

The slowdown has amplified uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates, as policymakers weigh mixed economic signals against cooling demand. With some categories falling sharply, economists warn that faltering retail activity could ripple into GDP forecasts and overall market confidence.

Brad Gastwirth from Circular Technologies joins us to break down which categories were hit hardest, why shoppers are becoming more value-conscious, and what this means for the economy heading into 2025.
