'The Apprentice' Director Applauded After Taking Dig at Donald Trump (msn.com)

After the film was unveiled in Cannes this week to a reported eight-minute standing ovation, Abbasi discussed the questions that surround his big screen project. Footage of Abassi's speech was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.

"When we did this movie, everyone said, 'Why do you want to make a movie with Trump?'" Abbasi recounted. "'You know, if you want to tell something about the world, do it in a nice way, in a metaphorical way.'"

"There is no nice, metaphorical way to deal with the rising wave of fascism," Abbasi added, prompting applause from the audience. "There is only the messy way, there is only the banal way, there is only the way of dealing with this wave on its own terms, at its own level." Abbasi added: "I think the problem with the world is that the good people have been quiet for too long."

According to The Associated Press, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement that the former president's team plan to file a lawsuit "to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers." "This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked," Cheung added in his statement.

 

I wish she would set a court date yesterday...take this issue away from that cultist Cannon. Still amazed that the 11th hasn't taken that unqualified hack off the case. it is another red mark on the US judicial system to go along with Alito and Thomas. None of them have any interest in upholding the law, just advancing their political narratives

Lawyers found classified docs in Trump’s bedroom 4 months after Mar-a-Lago search (msn.com)

Four months after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago estate, Donald Trump’s attorneys discovered four documents marked “classified” in his personal bedroom. That revelation was among several cited by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in a newly unsealed 2023 opinion that found prosecutors had presented compelling evidence that Trump knowingly stashed national security documents in his home and then tried to conceal them when the Justice Department tried to retrieve them.

In her 87-page opinion, Howell said the likelihood that Trump committed crimes was a basis to permit special counsel Jack Smith to question the former president’s attorney Evan Corcoran on topics that would normally be shielded by attorney-client privilege. Prosecutors, Howell said, had demonstrated that Trump knew Corcoran had been tasked in June 2022 with informing the government that all classified materials had been returned, “a representation that the former president … knew to be wrong.”

The FBI’s August 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago confirmed that dozens of other classified documents remained on the property — but as Howell notes, there were at least two more rounds of classified materials found on Trump’s property following additional searches.

Throughout the opinion, Howell — who was chief judge of the Washington, D.C. federal district court at the time — described with varying degrees of incredulity how four documents with classification markings could have been discovered in Trump’s private quarters months after prosecutors had subpoenaed them and the FBI conducted its own exhaustive search of the property.

Trump slams judge moments after leaving hush money trial: ‘Take a look at where he comes from’ (msn.com)

Donald Trump raged against the judge presiding over his hush money trial in New York and one of the prosecutors moments after he stepped out of the courtroom on the final day of witness testimony.

In an 11-minute screed near the men’s bathrooms on the 15th floor of the criminal court building in downtown Manhattan, the former president said the Colombia-born judge “hates” him, adding: “Take a look at where he comes from.”

“Just take a look. Take a look at him. Take a look at where he comes from,”
