Why Donald Trump “must win” in 2024

Donald Trump becomes the first former U.S. President to face federal criminal charges, setting the scene for an unprecedented 2024 presidential election

Even out of office, Donald Trump can’t stop making history as a former U.S. President, from his unprecedented indictment in New York, to his federal charges in Miami.

These charges bring a maximum sentence of up to 136 years, though a maximum sentence is unlikely.

“There’s no doubt that Trump absolutely wants to reassert his Presidency, and then wreak vengeance on his enemies and use the power of the state to do it,” said Bruce Wolpe from the U.S. Studies Centre.

“The future of Democracy is on the ballot as Trump is an anti-democratic candidate,” he added.

On top of becoming the first president to face federal criminal charges, Trump was also the only U.S. President to get impeached twice, and the only one to lose the popular vote two times.

But despite all of his political baggage and mounting legal problems, early polls show Trump remains the favourite to win the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Even those who have worked alongside Trump are worried, however, including former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr.

“Should we be putting someone like this forward as the leader of the country, the leader of the free world, who has engaged in this type of conduct?” he said regarding Trump’s legal troubles on U.S. network CBS.

In Short:
– Sean Combs sentenced to 50 months in prison for prostitution-related charges involving male escorts.
– Combs expressed remorse and plans to appeal the sentence, citing parental plea for leniency.
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to over four years in prison following his conviction for prostitution-related charges.
The sentence of 50 months was handed down by U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian in Manhattan federal court. Combs, aged 55, was found guilty after a jury determined he arranged for male escorts to travel across state lines for drug-fueled sexual performances with his girlfriends.Banner

Combs faced a maximum of 20 years but was acquitted of more severe charges, including racketeering, that could have led to a life sentence.

The allegations included claims that he coerced his girlfriends into participating in these encounters through threats and violence. Combs, who has been incarcerated since his 2024 arrest, is expected to appeal.

Emotional Statements

During the sentencing, Combs expressed remorse and stated he had learned his lesson. He acknowledged past abuses but maintained that the performances were consensual. His legal team argued for a reduced sentence of 14 months, citing his prior time served, while prosecutors advocated for a more extended sentence, highlighting the seriousness of the abuse.

Combs’ children also spoke during the proceedings, requesting leniency from the judge, stating that he had improved since his arrest. They pleaded for their father’s presence in their lives, with his daughter emotionally addressing the court.

The case has drawn significant media attention, marking Combs as a prominent figure facing serious charges in the entertainment industry.

In Short:
– Hamas is willing to release hostages but needs clarity on Trump’s peace plan.
– Negotiations continue, with Hamas requesting changes to disarmament and Israeli withdrawal terms.

Hamas has indicated a willingness to release the remaining hostages in Gaza, contingent on conditions linked to a broader peace agreement. The group’s response to mediators did not provide clarity on many aspects of President Trump’s 20-point peace plan.Hamas expressed gratitude for Trump’s peace efforts but sought specifics on issues like the timeline for Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and assurances regarding the cessation of hostilities.

Trump welcomed the dialogue, urging Israel to pause its military actions while negotiations progress, which may exceed the Sunday deadline he set for a deal.

The group has agreed to release all prisoners associated with the occupation as part of Trump’s exchange proposal. However, Hamas maintains that discussions on Gaza’s future and the rights of the Palestinian populations require an inclusive Palestinian framework.

Reports suggest that 20 of the 48 hostages are still alive. Senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk stated that the group needs further negotiations before committing fully to Trump’s plan and indicated that releasing the hostages in 72 hours is unrealistic.

Ongoing Negotiations

Trump’s peace initiative aims for the release of all hostages and proposes a transitional governance board for Gaza. While Hamas has shown some willingness to support the plan, it insists on modifications, particularly around disarmament and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Complexities within Hamas’s leadership further complicate consensus on the deal, as previous U.S. attempts to persuade the group have faltered.
