Tulsi Gabbard joined Sekulow to discuss Donald Trump's VP pick, J.D. Vance, emphasizing that Americans deserve and are ready for a drastic change in government. Gabbard highlighted how she feels the Trump-Vance ticket will bring bold, transformative policies that resonate with the public's desire for a new direction. Both she and Sekulow agreed that this pairing has the potential to deliver the significant reforms that many Americans are seeking. 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

Prior to the assassination attempt on Saturday, the Secret Service had already increased its efforts to protect President Donald Trump, sparked by recent intel of an Iranian plot to assassinate the former President. So how do you explain the major security failure at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania? We’ve heard competing narratives from the Secret Service. On the one hand, they’ve reported boosting security on Saturday because of the potential Iranian plot, but we’ve also heard Trump’s usual security team was not present and that they weren’t able to fully protect him because of strained resources. We should know more about this on Monday. But for now, troubling questions are looming – and the American people deserve answers. 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

Apparently, the Secret Service had already increased its efforts to protect President Donald Trump after recent intelligence surfaced of an Iranian plot to assassinate the former President. So why was security so lax in Butler, Pennsylvania? The Sekulow team discusses the massive Secret Service failure, the Republican National Convention, Trump’s pick of Senator J.D. Vance as Vice President, other RNC news, a new ACLJ FOIA against the Biden Administration, the 2024 presidential election – and much more.

President Donald Trump announced his pick for Vice President: Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. Will the young Senator (and author of the best-selling Hillbilly Elegy) be a good running mate for Trump in the presidential election? And to top it off, it’s the second day of the RNC, where ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow, ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy Ric Grenell, and others on the ACLJ team appeared on a panel regarding the far Left’s lawfare against conservatives. Let’s dive into Trump’s huge news drop yesterday, in which he waited until the last moment to announce that Vance would join him on the ticket. Some thought that a dark horse like Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin might be the choice, but the frontrunner all along, Vance, was the eventual pick. 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

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. Despite evidence suggesting an "odor of mendacity"—lying—permeated the case, the judge refused to remove Fani Willis, who had campaigned on prosecuting Trump. 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 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

Actor John Schneider joined Sekulow to discuss his new country music album, our Christmas movie "Jingle Smells," and his mission to inspire Americans to stand up and save this beautiful country. He emphasized the importance of patriotism and unity during these challenging times. 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

Today, the ACLJ legal team files 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. 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

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) kept her promise and 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. The Sekulow team discusses AOC’s radical response to the SCOTUS decision, the 2024 presidential election polls, the latest news on President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, the ACLJ’s legal work – and much more. Former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard also joins.

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
