The former president’s attorney says Trump’s January 6 speech is protected by the First Amendment

Donald Trump’s attorney defended the former President’s January 6 speech, saying he has “absolute immunity.”

This is the first time that Trump and his legal advisors defended the speech.

Opponents say the speech sparked the Capitol Hill riots, where protesters stormed the White House.

Trump continues refusals to cede election

This follows Trump’s ongoing claims that he did nothing wrong to incite the Capitol Hill Riots.

He also continues to say he was “robbed” of the general election.

The former president’s attorney says: “while holding that office, former President Trump was free to advocate for the appointment and certification of electors.“

He also went on to say, “The claims against former President Trump directly contravene the absolute immunity conveyed on the President by the Constitution as a key principle of separation of powers.”

Twitter suspends Trump’s new account

This comes after Twitter suspended several accounts set up to share new statements from Trump’s website. Twitter says those accounts broke the platform’s rules against evading an account ban.

“We’ll take enforcement action on accounts whose apparent intent is to replace or promote content affiliated with a suspended account,” Twitter said.

Trump had more than 88 million followers on Twitter before the Capitol Hill riots. Since then, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have all banned former President Trump from their platforms.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
