Trump campaigns on his historic criminal charges

Published

Former U.S. President Trump could face a speedy trial over his mishandling of confidential documents.

 
The U.S. Special Counsel has said that former President Donald Trump will face a “speedy trial” in Miami on a 37-count indictment alleging he obstructed justice and willfully retained classified government records

According to legal experts, handling highly classified evidence, Trump’s legal team’s challenges to government motions, and the way the judge handles the schedule may all result in a lengthy trial.

“In every case that I had involving classified information, we never had a speedy trial,” said Stephanie Siegmann, a former chief of the national security unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston, who noted that the evidence-sharing process with Trump’s defense team known as discovery could potentially take a year.

“This case will be designated complex because it involves classified information,” added Siegmann, now a partner with the law firm Hinkley Allen.

Criminal defendants in federal cases are entitled to a speedy trial under the U.S. Constitution, and a trial can begin as soon as 70 days after they are indicted.

A pause in the clock can, however, be agreed upon by both sides in most criminal cases to give them time to prepare for the trial.

Having the trial looming as the 2024 elections approaches could pose a problem for Trump, who is currently the Republican front-runner.

He may also use the tactic of lodging objections along the way in order to delay the process for legal or political reasons. #featured #trump

U.S. halts TSMC chip shipments to China

Published

on

The U.S. has ordered TSMC to stop shipping advanced AI and GPU chips to China starting Monday.

 

This decision follows concerns that TSMC chips were found in Huawei’s AI processors, potentially violating export controls. TSMC has informed its Chinese clients that shipments are now suspended. Huawei, already on the U.S. trade blacklist, faces further challenges in developing AI technology. The U.S. is also targeting other companies involved in shipping these chips to China as part of a broader effort to limit China’s access to advanced tech. TSMC has confirmed it will follow all export regulations.

Trump’s plans to shakeup the Pentagon military leadership

Published

on

President-elect Trump’s return may spell big changes for the Pentagon.

Trump has hinted at removing military officials he deems “woke” or disloyal, creating unease within the Defense Department.

Some of Trump’s former generals have labeled him unfit for office, but he’s doubling down on loyalty as a top priority.

Senate Armed Services Committee chair Jack Reed warns that Trump could “destroy” the Pentagon by removing generals who stand by the Constitution.

Military leaders could face dismissal if they don’t align with Trump’s stances on issues like NATO or domestic deployments.

This loyalty push may reshape America’s military approach under Trump’s leadership.

Judge grants request to pause Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case

Special Counsel Jack Smith moves to vacate pretrial deadlines as DOJ weighs next steps after Trump’s Election Day victory.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday granted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to pause proceedings in former President Donald Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case.

The decision halts upcoming pretrial deadlines, allowing the Department of Justice (DOJ) time to consider next steps after Trump’s recent electoral win.

Smith’s motion filed on Friday highlighted the unprecedented situation, noting, “as a result of the election,” the DOJ seeks to vacate remaining deadlines to “assess this unprecedented circumstance.”

Judge Chutkan agreed, instructing the prosecution to submit a status report on December 2 with its proposed course of action.

The request marks a pivotal step, likely steering toward a halt in prosecution, given the DOJ’s longstanding policy against prosecuting a sitting president.

Trump’s victory, making him the first convicted felon elected to the White House, has prompted DOJ officials to deliberate on how best to close Smith’s two federal cases against him.

Had Trump lost the race against Vice President Harris, the former president could have faced potential prison time.

However, this Election Day win likely shields him from criminal consequences while in office.
