Democrat divisions simmer on Hunter Biden pardon — as Joe prepares to depart political scene
NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge Monday to throw out his hush money criminal , arguing continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.“ In a filing made public Tuesday, Trump’s lawyers told Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan that dismissal is warranted because of the extraordinary circumstances of his impending to the White House. “Wrongly continuing proceedings in this failed lawfare case disrupts President Trump’s transition efforts,” the attorneys continued, before citing the “overwhelming national mandate granted to him by the American people on November 5, 2024.” Trump’s lawyers also cited President Joe Biden’s recent of his son, Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of . “President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently,’" Trump’s legal team wrote. The Manhattan district attorney, they claimed, had engaged in the type of political theater "that President Biden condemned.” Prosecutors will have until Dec. 9 to respond. They have said they will fight any efforts to dismiss the case but have indicated openness to delaying sentencing until after Trump’s second term ends in 2029. In their filing Monday, Trump's attorneys dismissed the idea of holding off sentencing until Trump is out of office as a “ridiculous suggestion.” Following Trump’s election victory last month, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed his sentencing, previously scheduled for late November, to allow the defense and prosecution to weigh in on the future of the case. He also delayed a decision on Trump’s to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. Trump has been fighting for months to reverse the conviction, which involved efforts to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels, whose affair allegations threatened to disrupt his 2016 campaign. He has denied any wrongdoing. Trump takes office on Jan. 20. Merchan hasn’t set a timetable for a decision. The defense filing was signed by Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, who represented Trump during the trial and have since been selected by the president-elect to fill senior roles at the Justice Department. A dismissal would erase Trump’s historic conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office. Merchan could also decide to uphold the verdict and proceed to sentencing, delay the case until Trump leaves office, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court or choose some other option. Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a to porn actor Stormy Daniels, just before the 2016 presidential election, to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. He says they did not and denies any wrongdoing. Prosecutors cast the payout as part of a Trump-driven effort to keep voters from hearing salacious stories about him. Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels. Trump later reimbursed him, and Trump’s company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses — concealing what they really were, prosecutors alleged. Trump has pledged to appeal the verdict if the case is not dismissed. He and his lawyers said the payments to Cohen were properly categorized as legal expenses for legal work.

Published 22:10 IST, November 24th 2024 Former CJI Chandrachud said that retired judges must exercise caution while making any such decisions, which can have a bearing on the public. New Delhi: Former Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, on Sunday said that society continues to view retired judges as integral members of the judiciary, adding that judges have to walk a tightrope as as they are not viewed in the bracket of common citizens by the public. Former CJI Chandrachud, whose two-year tenure ended on November 10, said that retired judges must exercise caution and consider whether their actions can affect the public. Is it Right to Enter Politics For Retired Judges? Here’s What Ex-CJI Chandrachud Said "Society continues to look at you as a judge even after retirement, therefore, things which are alright for other citizens to do would not be alright for judges to do even when they demit office,” Chandrachud said. "Primarily it is for every judge to take a call on whether a decision which he takes after retirement will have a bearing on people who assess the work which he did as a judge," he added. At his farewell ceremony organized by the SC Bar Association earlier this month, DY Chandrachud, who is known for his landmark judgments and eloquent speeches mixed with a poetic twist, was at his poetic best when he responded to his trolls by quoting Urdu poet Bashir Badr. Quoting the famous Urdu poet, the former CJI trolled the trollers in his unique style, saying, “Mukhalfat se meri shakhsiyat sanwarti hai, main dushmano ka bada ehtiraam karta hun (Opposition improves my personality, I respect my enemies a lot).” The house burst into laughter when he said, “I am probably the most trolled judge across the system." Justice Chandrachud, the 50th CJI, assumed office on November 9, 2022, following in the footsteps of his father, YV Chandrachud, who served as the longest-serving Chief Justice from 1978 to 1985. Justice Sanjiv Khanna was sworn in as the 51st Chief Justice of India on November 11 in a ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Chuck Woolery, smooth-talking game show host of 'Love Connection' and 'Scrabble,' dies at 83With just six weeks remaining in the 2024 season, the Buffalo Bills are in a great position in the AFC playoff race. Sitting just one game behind the Kansas City Chiefs for a top seed and a first-round bye, the Bills have greater aspirations than simply making the postseason in 2024. (Mark Konezny-Imagn Images) Many did not expect the team to perform at the level they have this season. A massive reason for that was their decision to trade All-Pro receiver Stefon Diggs in the offseason after a strained 2023 season. However, the decision has certainly paid off for Buffalo, as quarterback Josh Allen is an MVP contender and the Bills are in a great position. In a recent article released by The Athletic's Mike Sando , an anonymous NFL coach praised the Bills for their handling of the situation. “The coach and GM (Brandon Beane) had the foresight to get rid of (Diggs) because they knew it was detrimental to the quarterback and the atmosphere,” the coach said. “All of [the] sudden, they are playing with Curtis Samuel and draft picks and just whatever, and the quarterback is playing good. And then they add Amari Cooper.” Related: Bills' Upcoming Opponent Provides Big QB Injury Update An anonymous league executive also told Sando that people doubting Buffalo in the offseason has benefitted them. “I don’t see how Buffalo melts down unless they have a ton of injuries,” said the executive. “I’m not sure what the catalyst has been, except that maybe they have been off everybody’s radar long enough... They are clearly operating better in those conditions than having the spotlight on them.” Related: What's Josh Allen's One 'Scary' Trait in Bills Super Bowl Push?
