Donald Trump's legal team is asking a judge to hold Jack Smith in contempt of court for continuing to file motions in court, even though the case has currently been "stayed" as both sides await a ruling on Trump's claims of immunity. Smith is free to file motions while the case is paused, the only thing that CANNOT happen is that the judge cannot continue issuing rulings and moving the case forward, something that Trump's team apparently doesn't understand.
And voters in the state of Massachusetts have filed a lawsuit to boot Donald Trump from the 2024 ballots in the state, citing the 14th Amendment. The number of states with ballot challenges to Trump that are either in effect or still pending is continuing to grow, but ultimately his fate in 2024 is going to rest with the US Supreme Court. But even before the court rules, these state challenges are vital
Also, Donald Trump, Jr. celebrated the release of the "Epstein List" this week by proudly boasting that liberals were upset because his dad wasn't on it. The only problem with this claim is that his dad was not only on the list, but he was mentioned in court filings and depositions no fewer than four separate times. While his dad wasn't accused of any wrongdoing, he definitely showed up on that list, contrary to Junior's claim.
Finally, Donald Trump is leaning into the fact that an absurd number of Republicans believe he was anointed by God, and he shared a video this past week that proudly declared "God gave us Trump." Trump is trying to shore up his support from the evangelical community, which will be harder this time around because he doesn't have the uber-religious Mike Pence as his running mate.
