‘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″

Investors monitor Big Tech’s AI investments, with Meta thriving while Microsoft and Tesla face uncertainty over growth and returns.

Investors are reacting sharply to Big Tech earnings this week, sending a clear signal that massive spending must translate into real growth. Markets are becoming less forgiving as companies pour billions into artificial intelligence, data centres and future tech while returns remain uncertain.

Meta has delivered a standout performance, posting a 24 percent jump in revenue for the December quarter, fuelled by AI-powered advertising. The company is doubling down on its strategy, with aggressive investment in AI and infrastructure expected to drive a further 33 percent growth this quarter.

Microsoft and Tesla tell a more cautious story. Microsoft reported only modest growth in its Azure cloud business, raising questions about its exposure to OpenAI, while Tesla plans to double spending on AI and autonomous driving. Analysts warn of a widening gap between bold AI ambitions and what investors expect in returns.

Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, balancing inflation and jobs, as some governors advocate for a cut.

The Federal Reserve has opted to keep interest rates unchanged, marking the first pause since July. Officials are showing little urgency to resume cuts, even after previous rate reductions.

Two Fed governors opposed the decision, calling for a quarter-point cut, highlighting ongoing debates within the rate-setting committee, which includes both appointed governors and regional bank presidents.

Concerns over the job market and persistent inflation continue to weigh heavily on the Fed’s policy decisions, leaving economists and investors closely watching the next moves.

Trump urges Iran to resume nuclear talks or face stronger U.S. military response amid economic struggles and rising tensions.

U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Iran to return to nuclear negotiations, warning that failure to do so could result in a far more severe military response. Posting on Truth Social, Trump signalled a hardening stance as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to rise.

Trump confirmed that a U.S. naval strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln is moving towards Iran, as protests grow inside the country over alleged government repression.

The show of force comes amid heightened regional instability and mounting pressure on the Iranian leadership.
