Former President Donald Trump’s final campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, saw the Republican presidential nominee urging supporters to head to the polls while also again casting doubt on the security of the electoral process.....Read Full Article>>

Multiple times throughout Trump’s speech he told supporters to go out to the polls “tomorrow.” However, given the rally was happening after midnight, people in the crowd started yelling “today” and then Trump falsely said the election was happening on Wednesday.

“It sounds so much better when you say tomorrow, Wednesday,” Trump said. “But that’s okay. I want to be exactly accurate for them, but go out today and vote. And I guess seven o’clock or whatever, whatever time it is, doesn’t matter, and we’re going to have the greatest victory in the history of our country.”

According to ABC News, Trump then suggested that his supporters might be to blame if he does not defeat Vice President Kamala Harris.

“There’s nothing they can do” if Republicans turn out, Trump said of his opponents. “In other words, to make you feel a little guilty, we would only have you to blame.” Later, Trump claimed he has the “silent majority” and urged his supporters to “speak up.”

Trump is the first person with a felony conviction to serve as president – HEARD VOICE NEWS ONLINE

Trump has won the election. What happens to his legal cases?....Read Full Article>>

Trump is the first person with a felony conviction to serve as president

Donald Trump will be the first president to take office while several criminal cases against him are still pending.

His ascent to the highest office in the US while facing dozens of criminal charges has plunged the country into uncharted territory.

Many of his legal problems will now go away when he steps foot in the White House, as he will be able to dismiss some of the cases as a sitting president.

Here’s a look at what could happen with each of the four legal challenges he faces.

New York hush-money conviction

Follow live election day updates as Donald Trump wins

Donald Trump has already been convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the state of New York.

In May, a jury of New Yorkers found him guilty of the counts in relation to a hush-money payment made to an adult film star.

New York Judge Juan Merchan pushed back Trump’s sentencing from September to 26 November, after the election.

Judge Merchan could still go forward with the sentencing as planned despite Trump’s win, said former Brooklyn prosecutor Julie Rendelman.

Legal experts say it is unlikely that Trump would be sentenced to time behind bars as an older first-time offender.

But if he were, his lawyers would appeal the sentence immediately, arguing that jail time would prevent him from conducing his official duties and that he should remain free pending the appeal, Ms Rendelman said.

“The appellate process in that scenario could go on for years,” she said.

January 6 case

Special counsel Jack Smith filed criminal charges against Trump last year over his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden.

Trump has pleaded not guilty.

The case has been in legal limbo since the Supreme Court ruled this summer that Trump was partially immune from criminal prosecution over official acts committed while in office.

Smith has since refiled his case, arguing Trump’s attempts to overturn the election were not related to his official duties.

Since Trump has won, his criminal problems from the case now “go away”, according to former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.

“It’s well established that a sitting president can’t be prosecuted, so the election fraud case in DC District Court will be dismissed,” he said.

Mr Rahmani said that if Smith refuses to dismiss the case, Trump can simply get rid of him, as he has pledged to do already.

“I would fire him within two seconds,” Trump said during a radio interview in October.

Classified documents case

Smith is also leading a case against Trump over his alleged mishandling of classified documents after he left the White House, charges Trump denies.

He is accused of storing sensitive documents in his Mar-a-Lago home and obstructing Justice Department efforts to retrieve the files.

The judge assigned to the case, Trump-appointee Aileen Cannon, dismissed the charges in July, arguing Smith was improperly appointed by the Justice Department to lead the case.

Smith has appealed the ruling.

But with Trump set to take office, the classified documents case now faces the same fate as the election case, Mr Rahmani said.

“The DOJ will abandon its Eleventh Circuit appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case,” he said.

Georgia election case

Trump is also facing criminal charges in Georgia over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the state.

That case has faced a number of hurdles, including efforts to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis over her relationship with an attorney she hired to work on the case.

An appeals court is in the process of weighing whether Willis should be allowed to stay on the case.

But now that Trump is the next president, the case could face even more delays, or possibly dismissal.

The case is expected to be paused during Trump’s time in office, according to legal experts.

Trump’s attorney Steve Sadow said as much when asked by the judge if Trump could still stand trial if elected.

“The answer to that is I believe that under the supremacy clause and his duties as president of the United States, this trial would not take place at all until after he left his term in office,” he said.

Afegbua alleged that the political appointees that are being converted to full time civil servants are Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants.

He said 186 of such appointees were appointed by the governor in September 2024, thereby bloating the numbers of aides around him.

He also alleged that the outgoing governor has just commenced the process of absorbing another 152 aides to compound the problem.

The APC transition committee member, said interview is presently ongoing as part of the governor’s effort to overburden the incoming administration with huge recurrent expenditure, when he (Obaseki) was aware that the state is already bugged down by a huge debt burden.

“It has come to our notice that Governor Obaseki is presently converting his Senior Special Assistants (SSA) and Special Assistants (SA) into full time civil service staff.

“Governor Obaseki, for eight years refused to recruit civil servants to fill up vacant positions and energize the civil service.

“He also refused to set up the Civil Service Commission until two weeks ago, in the twilight of his failed administration.

“We are alerting the public to be aware of Governor Obaseki’s deliberate engagement to stifle the resources of the state and pass on huge salaries and overhead to the incoming administration.

“This is not only a wicked act but a huge disservice to the incoming administration of Senator Monday Okpebholo.

“We have repeatedly stated the position of the incoming administration that anybody who is wrongly recruited or surreptitiously absorbed into the Civil Service, with backdated appointment letters would be relieved of his or her responsibility,” the statement said.

Afegbua opined that recruitment into Civil Service must not only follow due process, there has to be a need for such persons who are so recruited.
