JACKSON, MS.- COULD DONALD TRUMP FORCE THE DOJ TO DROP FED CHARGES AGAINST LUMUMBA, OWENS & BANKS?

Delve into the Jackson, Mississippi bribery and corruption scandal involving Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, and City Councilman Aaron Banks. Facing federal charges from a Biden-era FBI sting, the trio's trial is set for July 2026. Lumumba's strategy? Play the race card and blame Trump, despite the probe starting years ago. With evidence of shell corporations, $50,000 in checks, and a diverse jury pool, will this tactic sway the Southern District of Mississippi court? Some speculate Trump, eager for black support, might intervene—but local ties may thwart that.
