Donald Trump announced that he will surrender to Georgia authorities for arrest and arraignment in his state 2020 election interference Rico case on Thursday, but the conditions he must agree to in order to secure bail have already been decided.
“Can you believe it? I’ll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be Arrested by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime Disasters in American History,” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. “In my case, the trip to Atlanta is not for “Murder,...

A Fox News’ reporter asked President Joe Biden if he would consider pardoning former President Donald Trump. Biden responded by laughing it off and said it was a “great question” before getting on the helicopter to Delaware.
The question stems from one posed to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is running for president against Trump in the 2024 GOP primary.
On Friday, DeSantis said that he would consider pardoning Trump and the January 6 defendants when asked by a reporter. He said he would look at each case and then make a decision. More than 1,000 people were arrested in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Last month, Trump was charged with 34 felony counts in a hush-money scheme in New York City. He pleaded not guilty to all of them.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is investigating Trump over his retention of secret government documents. Boxes of documents were found at his Mar-a-Lago home last year.

Trump’s legal team claims the former president has no materials matching the description of a classified document he claimed he had in a 2021 recording that has been obtained by the Justice Department.
The document, reportedly classified as “Secret,” allegedly contains descriptions of an attack plan against Iran proposed by Gen. Mark Milley. CNN reported on Friday that in March, shortly after learning of the existence of the recording, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office issued a subpoena for “any and all” materials regarding Milley and Iran — only to be...

Following a new report that former president Donald Trump was caught on tape talking about classified documents he had in his possession, legal experts are pretty confident this might be the nail in the coffin of the Justice Department’s investigation. According to MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissman, the existence of that tape makes charges under the Espionage Act all but certain.
Weissman’s thoughts came on Thursday’s episode of “Morning Joe,” as he was brought in to discuss CNN’s report on Wednesday that federal prosecutors now have a recording from a 2021 meeting, in which Trump explicitly acknowledges that he kept a classified document about a potential attack on Iran. This, of course, would fly in the face of Trump’s repeated claim that he declassified everything he had (sometimes just with his mind).
“I think if this audio tape exists, this is not a question of if...

Donald Trump’s claim that he had declassified the massive trove of government documents he took to Mar-a-Lago was dubious from the start. Well, CNN reported on Wednesday that federal prosecutors overseeing the probe into the documents have obtained a recording of the former president admitting that he kept a classified document containing information about a proposed attack plan against Iran.
The meeting in question reportedly took place in July 2021 at Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. The former president met with biographers for his former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows,...

Ken Jacobs is now immortalized as a Museum of Modern Art filmmaker.
The experimental Brooklyn-based filmmaker will now have a large collection at the Manhattan museum, making MoMA the singular repository of works of the moving-image artist. The Museum of Modern Art purchased films and videos created by Jacobs, with the titles joining the other 14 Jacobs works already housed at the museum.
Jacobs has credited his discovery of the movies to his youthful trips to MoMA in the late 1940s, recalling that “the Museum of Modern Art plunged me, when a teenager, into the unexpectedness of art.”
He added in a statement to IndieWire, “Eastern District High School in Williamsburg gave me a pass to MoMA, where I saw ‘Greed,’ Chaplin, Vertov. I’m delighted that MoMA is now acquiring my long life’s cine-output.”
For more than 50 years, MoMA has presented Jacobs’ own moving-image work in nearly every context and format,...

“Time is all we have and every second that ticks away is one less second we’re alive,” Kenneth Anger told an interviewer from The Guardian 16 and a half years before his death this May at the age of 96. “The sands of time are going through the hourglass but it doesn’t frighten me.”
If Woody Allen’s Zelig was found rubbing elbows with the storied and famous of the ’20s and ’30s, starting in the 1950s Anger was for some decades more than a match for him. His legacy is poised between the pathbreaking cinematic auteur who made such avant-garde shorts as “Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome” (1954) and “Scorpio Rising” (1963) and the purveyor of at times fictionalized Hollywood scandal in the sensational and frequently updated “Hollywood Babylon” (1959).

Donald Trump’s legal team is requesting an in-person meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland to discuss the special counsel investigation into the former president.
Trump posted the letter — addressed to Garland and signed by attorneys John Rowley and James Trusty — to Truth Social on Tuesday night. “Unlike President Biden, his son Hunter, and the Biden family, President Trump is being treated unfairly,” the letter reads. “No President of the United States has ever, in the history of our country, been baselessly investigated in such an outrageous and unlawful fashion.

Proud Boys Leader Enrique Tarrio, Three Others Convicted Of Seditious Conspiracy In January 6th Case
Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right group Proud Boys, was convicted along with three other members of the organization for their roles in the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The convictions were perhaps the highest profile cases so far brought by the Justice Department. Tarrio was found guilty of seditious conspiracy, which has a sentence of up to 20 years.
According to the Associated Press, Tarrio did not show any emotion as the verdict was read. Tarrio was not at the January 6th attack itself, but prosecutors argued that he nevertheless played a key role in its planning.
Also convicted of seditious conspiracy were Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl. They also were convicted of conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding of Congress on Jan. 6, as well as of destruction of government property.
Jurors found another defendant, Dominic Pezzola, not guilty on the seditious conspiracy charge, but...
