Next week, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability will hold a hearing to gather information about what went down among the Secret Service when a gunman tried to assassinate Donald Trump over the weekend. The director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, has been called to testify. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

The left is in a frenzy following Trump's selection of JD Vance as his vice presidential pick. Critics are voicing strong opposition while Trump gains ground in polls. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

President Donald Trump announced his pick for Vice President: Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. Will the young Senator be a good running mate for Trump in the presidential election? The Sekulow team discusses Trump’s VP choice, President Joe Biden’s contentious interview with NBC Nightly News’ Lester Holt, the 2024 Republican National Convention, the ACLJ’s latest FOIA, Trump’s and Vance’s upcoming speeches at the RNC – and much more.

The Republican National Convention is underway in Milwaukee, and our nation is still reeling from this weekend’s horrific assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, which took one innocent life and left two others in critical condition. We continue to offer up prayers for our country and the families of the victims. President Trump remains in the news as Judge Aileen Cannon just dismissed his classified documents case, citing that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional. She also said Smith’s case violated the Constitution’s appropriations clause. In other words, the prosecution against Trump was not properly funded. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

News has emerged that Trump has discarded his prepared speech for the RNC, choosing instead to focus on uniting the country. His revised address aims to tackle national divisions and promote a message of unity. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

Judge Aileen Cannon has just dismissed President Donald Trump’s classified documents case, citing the “unlawful appointment” of Special Counsel Jack Smith as unconstitutional. This ruling asserts that Smith's appointment did not adhere to legal protocols, rendering the case invalid. The dismissal marks a significant legal victory for Trump and raises questions about the oversight of Special Counsel appointments. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

Judge Aileen Cannon just dismissed President Donald Trump’s classified documents case, citing that the “unlawful appointment” of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional. The Sekulow team discusses Trump’s Mar-a-Lago case being thrown out, the recent assassination attempt on Trump’s life, the latest 2024 presidential election polls between President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, the start of the Republican National Convention, possibilities for Trump’s pick for Vice President (Senator J.D. Vance, Governor Doug Burgum, Senator Marco Rubio, etc.), ongoing ACLJ cases – and much more.

Today, the ACLJ legal team filed a major brief in DA Fani Willis’ case against former President Donald Trump to disqualify DA Willis and protect the integrity of our judicial system. Judge Scott McAfee refused to remove Fani Willis, who campaigned on prosecuting Trump, even after ruling that an “odor of mendacity” – lying – hung over the case. While Judge McAfee allowed Willis to stay on the case if Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade was removed, his language was condemning. Many things he touched on suggested a conflict of interest, or at the least an appearance of a conflict. So how can we expect impartiality in this case? As we stated in our amicus brief: The existence of a conflict of interest, including an apparent conflict, is an issue of such structural magnitude that it affects the entirety of a criminal proceeding. A conflicted prosecutor who nonetheless proceeds with prosecution casts an “odor of mendacity” over an entire proceeding that cannot be corrected or remedied after the fact. Beyond its unconstitutionally injurious impact on the Defendants, the odor negatively impacts the public’s perception of and confidence in the judicial system—especially when the prosecution is that of a leading national candidate for the highest office in the land. Our filing was critical because the implications of the case are much broader than President Trump. The brief explains: Millions of Americans from the other forty-nine states who have no ability to influence Georgia’s local political conduct are watching this case and will be directly affected by its outcome. The bad choices, prejudices, and personal political motivations of Fulton County’s District Attorney, and the Georgia judiciary’s response thereto, impact the entire nation. The integrity of Georgia’s criminal justice system—implicating its prosecutors and its courts—is at stake. We want to preserve the integrity of the judicial system. The American people should not trust this prosecution and should see it as the far Left interfering with the election. The Georgia Court of Appeals should disqualify DA Willis. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

The ACLJ legal team filed a significant brief in DA Fani Willis’ case against former President Donald Trump, seeking to disqualify DA Willis and protect the integrity of our judicial system.

The ACLJ has secured another victory for religious freedom. Earlier this week, and following the ACLJ’s insistence, a town located in North Carolina voted to approve revisions to its zoning ordinance to allow churches to operate within its zoning districts without discrimination or unequal treatment. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

President Biden held a "Big Boy" press conference last night, aiming to reassure the American people that he is capable of beating Donald Trump. However, the event was marred by numerous gaffes, failing to achieve the intended reassurance. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

The judge refused to remove Fani Willis, who campaigned on prosecuting Trump, even after ruling that an “odor of mendacity” – lying – hung over the case. In his first solo press conference since November 2023, President Biden reaffirmed his reelection bid despite a growing number of Democrats, including major donors, urging him to drop out of the race. “No one involved in the effort thinks he has a path,” a sentiment held by many on Biden’s reelection campaign, NBC reported. The Sekulow team discusses our major filing, Biden’s press conference and much more — joined by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Leaked information from a source within the Biden fundraising team has revealed that donations to Biden's campaign are "drying up." This significant drop in contributions is attributed to increasing concerns among donors about his viability as a candidate. The fundraising slowdown underscores growing uncertainty and potential challenges for Biden's campaign. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) just introduced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas for ruling that President Donald Trump has presidential immunity for official acts while in office. Fox News reports on AOC’s radical move: “The unchecked corruption crisis on the Supreme Court has now spiraled into a Constitutional crisis threatening American democracy writ large,” Cortez wrote in a statement. “Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s pattern of refusal to recuse from consequential matters before the court in which they hold widely documented financial and personal entanglements constitutes a grave threat to American rule of law, the integrity of our democracy, and one of the clearest cases for which the tool of impeachment was designed.” “Justice Thomas and Alito’s repeated failure over decades to disclose that they received millions of dollars in gifts from individuals with business before the court is explicitly against the law. And their refusal to recuse from the specific matters and cases before the court in which their benefactors and spouses are implicated represents nothing less than a constitutional crisis. These failures alone would amount to a deep transgression worthy of standard removal in any lower court, and would disqualify any nominee to the highest court from confirmation in the first place,” she argued. AOC’s articles of impeachment, which includes three counts against Justice Thomas and two counts against Justice Alito, are yet another far-Left attack on the Supreme Court. Such attackers want to undo everything that conservatives and Christians have accomplished in the last couple of years. Most people might think of impeachment only involving the President, but Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution states: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” And Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution, which pertains specifically to the judiciary, states, “The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour . . . .” So Justices and judges are subject to being impeached. Historically, the only other impeachments involving the Supreme Court were Justice Samuel Chase in 1804, who was later acquitted by the Senate and served on the Court until his death, and Justice Abe Fortas, who resigned prior to being impeached in 1969. Also, 15 federal judges have been impeached (and eight convicted) throughout U.S. history. Since the Republicans control the House with a slim majority, the impeachment proceedings will likely go nowhere. However, the Left proves yet again it will stoop to any level to remove its political opponents. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

This morning on "Morning Joe," Nancy Pelosi stated that she would support whatever decision Joe Biden makes regarding running for President again, despite Biden having already made up his mind. When pressed, Pelosi ambiguously mentioned that she is waiting for his decision, creating confusion. This raises the question: Is Nancy Pelosi gaslighting the President? https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi just appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and asserted that “time is running short for” President Joe Biden to decide if he wants to run again. However, Biden has been adamant that he is not stepping down, so Pelosi is clearly gaslighting the President. Pelosi isn’t the only big name on the Left calling for Biden to step down. Hollywood is also turning on the President, evidenced by George Clooney’s op-ed in the New York Times today. Don’t forget that Clooney saw firsthand Biden’s frailty at the giant Hollywood fundraiser a few weeks ago that led to accusations of “cheap fakes” from the White House. In the op-ed, the actor recounted his interaction with Biden at the fundraiser: “It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe . . . Biden of 2010. . . . He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.” Clooney also criticized Democrat Party leaders for not being truthful about Biden’s physical and mental state: “Party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw [at the CNN presidential debate].” Clooney is a huge donor and fundraiser for the Democrat Party, so to see him abandon his nominee is a big deal. Far-left elites like Pelosi and Clooney all see the poll numbers. They know that if Biden stays in the race, it could be a landslide victory for President Trump. So they are trying to get Biden out to salvage what’s left of the presidential race. Or perhaps they also don’t want to be blamed for Biden’s loss. They don’t want to go down with the sinking ship. Right now, Biden isn’t campaigning to the American people. He’s campaigning to elites like Pelosi and Clooney within the Democrat Party, who should be supporting him no matter what. It’s fascinating to watch. Much of the media is also floating out the possibility of Congress using the 25th Amendment to remove President Biden and elevate Vice President Kamala Harris to the presidency. Even Speaker of the House Mike Johnson admitted the House could entertain the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment due to the optics of Biden’s debate performance and subsequent public appearances. However, invoking the 25th Amendment would be a disaster for the country because it would trivialize the 25th Amendment – which should only be used in the worst-case scenario – much like impeachments have been trivialized. We don’t need to create a future where Congress is empowered to remove Presidents they don’t like. At the end of the day, if the DNC decides it doesn’t want Biden to be the nominee, party leaders will devise a plan to remove the President. I just hope they find a different avenue other than watering down the 25th Amendment. This is Washington, D.C., we’re talking about – the infamous swamp. There has to be another way. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

During a briefing this week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre didn’t take it very well when reporters started asking her questions about President Biden being evaluated by a Parkinson’s specialist. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had a fiery press conference yesterday as she dodged questions about a White House doctor seeing President Joe Biden. The biggest point of contention was whether a neurologist who specializes in Parkinson’s disease had visited multiple times in the past year (as reported by the New York Times). Instead of having answers ready for the bombardment of questions, Jean-Pierre lost control of the press conference. Fox News reports on the chaotic briefing: Reporters largely focused on reports that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a neurologist from Walter Reed Military Medical Center who specializes in Parkinson’s disease, met several times with Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, in the White House over the past year. But during the daily press briefing, Jean-Pierre repeatedly would not confirm Cannard’s name as the visiting doctor to reporters, citing security and privacy concerns despite the fact that Cannard was listed in the public visitor logs. . . . CNN’s Kayla Tausche recounted the experience, noting there was frustration throughout the press corps. “It was an extremely contentious mood in the room with frustration evident among the press corps for how hard it was to get very basic answers about whether the president had been seen any more than three times by this specialist, who has specialties in neurology but also expertise in Parkinson’s and who they had been treating,” Tausche said. We’re not pointing any fingers here. We just wish the White House had provided better answers to direct questions regarding President Biden’s health. By being unprepared, the press secretary is damaging the Administration and Biden’s reelection campaign even more. What’s very interesting is the back-and-forth Jean-Pierre had with Ed O’Keefe of CBS News, who was extremely frustrated with the White House’s inconsistent messaging. This wasn’t Peter Doocy from Fox News who was arguing with the press secretary – it was a member of the mainstream media that until recently had backed the President. It’s not just the media that’s revolting against President Biden. We also have news that a House Democrat Caucus met today to determine the future of Biden’s candidacy. Representative Steve Cohen (TN-9) admitted that the party had no consensus on Biden remaining the nominee. The problem is the massive headache that comes from replacing a presidential candidate this late in the game. If Vice President Kamala Harris is not the party’s nominee, then most of the hundreds of millions in campaign contributions would be returned to donors. And what about funders refusing to give more money to Biden’s reelection campaign? The far Left is in total disarray right now. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

This morning, Joe Biden wrote a letter urging Democrats to stand with him in the presidential race. He emphasized his unwavering commitment to leading the party and made it clear that he will not step down, despite calls from senior Democrats to do so. Biden's message aimed to rally support and reinforce his determination to continue his campaign. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

President Joe Biden isn’t planning on going anywhere, as many within the Democrat Party call for him not to run for reelection. Today he wrote a letter to Democrats in the House of Representatives calling for unity in the fight to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. In other words, the Biden bonanza of the past week is still in full swing as the President tries his best to convince those in his party that he should remain the nominee. More than likely, Republicans are hoping he remains in the race because he could be an easier opponent to defeat. Today’s letter was likely motivated by the fallout from Biden’s interview on Friday with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, in which the journalist asked what it would take for Biden to step aside from the presidential election. During the interview, Biden was adamant that he was staying put unless “the Lord Almighty came down and said, ’Joe, get out the race.’” Biden also claimed his party’s leadership told him to keep running. Within today’s two-page letter to his party’s lawmakers, President Biden wrote: I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump. I have had extensive conversations with the leadership of the party, elected officials, rank and file members, and most importantly, Democratic voters over the past 10 days or so. . . . It is time to come together, move forward as a unified party, and defeat Donald Trump. The entire letter is pretty intense. Biden is emphatic that he will remain the nominee, listing all his accomplishments. Clearly, the pressure is mounting on the Biden campaign. They’ve seen the polling data and the news of division growing within the Democrat Party. We’ve never seen such an aggressive movement by a party to remove its own sitting President. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-06142024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution
