Some Supreme Court justices thought Donald Trump was setting them up. Two days after the official swearing-in of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in October 2018, ...

As Trump tried to keep the court in his clutches, he only widened the fissures. Roberts had wanted to lift the issues beyond Trump and show the kind of court unity the justices were able to attain in past separation-of-powers battles, for example with Richard Nixon in 1974 and Bill Clinton in 1997. There was no time to write a new justification for the citizenship question and defend it in court. Only Thomas publicly dissented as the majority brushed away Trump’s effort to prevent the National Archives from turning over the documents to a US House select committee. A few years later, when the high court majority turned against his administration on a series of issues, A Department of Justice spokeswoman, speaking on Fox News, later described Thomas as [ “the life of the party”](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/meet-barr-right-hand-kerri-kupec-justice-department) at the Kavanaugh event. In November 2018, Trump disparaged a US district judge who had ruled against his administration’s policy regarding asylum-seekers at the southern border. Roberts and Kavanaugh had been friends, first working together in the Department of Justice during President George H.W. [Amy Coney Barrett](https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/05/politics/scotus-justice-amy-coney-barrett/index.html) immediately after her Senate confirmation, Thomas was the only justice present. “I’m honored to serve on a Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice John Roberts,” Kavanaugh said. News networks still buzzed that October with coverage of the Senate hearings, especially Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her while a teenager and Kavanaugh’s denial. Justices had declined to attend similar White House events under previous presidents, resisting the optics that would conflict with separation of powers.

His team “will look at every potential issue that we will be able to challenge, and we will challenge,” Tacopina said. Ordinarily, a defendant who is released would walk out the front doors, but Secret Service will want to limit the time and space where Trump is in public. By the afternoon, Trump is expected to be brought to the courtroom, where the indictment will be unsealed and he will formally face the charges. Tacopina suggested in TV interviews Sunday the statute of limitations may have passed, and said the Trump businesses didn’t make false entries. Once the former president is finished being processed, he’ll be taken through a back set of hallways and elevators to the floor where the courtroom is located. “The office is more important than any individual person. “All the Tuesday stuff is still very much up in the air, other than the fact that we will very loudly and proudly say not guilty.” The Secret Service, the New York Police Department and the court officers are coordinating security for Trump’s expected appearance. The former president will stay at Trump Tower Monday night and is expected to depart New York immediately after Tuesday’s arraignment to head back to Florida, the source said. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating Trump in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election. Trump is expected to leave Florida around noon ET on Monday, landing at New York’s LaGuardia airport around 3 p.m.

Will Trump Get Gag Order In Manhattan DA Case? Here's What That ... (Forbes)

Legal experts say it's likely the court could block Trump from talking about the criminal case against him.

Stone was initially placed under an order that only restricted him from speaking about the case when in or near the courthouse in Washington, D.C., which then expanded to block him from speaking out about the case or posting on social media about it entirely after he shared an image that appeared to show the judge in crosshairs. The ex-president has already said he plans to make a public speech Tuesday night from his Mar-A-Lago estate after his arraignment, which could be the first test of the gag order against him if one is imposed. "He is a criminal defendant and, you know, we see hundreds of thousands of criminal defendants across the country every day who have a lot of rights stripped away from them and he is now one of them.

America faces a fateful moment ahead of Trump arraignment (CNN)

Donald Trump will take America through yet another grave and unprecedented national drama this week when he becomes the first ex-president to appear in ...

DeSantis, who has yet to declare a run, is running a shadow campaign rooted in the premise that he could offer Trump-style policies without the chaos or distractions of the ex-president. In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina said the ex-president’s team would loudly and proudly declare he is not guilty and signaled an attempt to try to prevent the case ever from reaching trial. CNN has reported that Trump was caught off guard by the grand jury’s decision to indict him, according to a person who spoke directly with him. But the complexities of arraigning a former president under close Secret Service protection means that this is no ordinary case – even if justice suggests Trump should be treated like any other citizen. Trump may have been indicted for infringing laws in New York, but since the charges haven’t been made public, it is impossible to assess his claims. In the run-up to Tuesday’s appearance, Trump’s legal team gave a preview of a robust defense that will unfold against a backdrop of a furious political campaign. While Trump’s characteristically aggressive attacks on Bragg, the judge in the case, and the Biden Justice Department might be effective in a political context, there’s no guarantee they’ll work in court. According to fundraising numbers that his campaign is touting, Trump is getting a political boost from the attention. But Trump, using his bond with his most loyal supporters, is claiming the prosecution is a case of naked political persecution from District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, that’s designed to thwart the possibility of a presidential comeback. Trump plans to make a make a speech when he gets back to Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday night in which he will seek to leverage political advantage out of a perilous, personal legal crisis. At the same time, it is ultimately Trump’s norm-busting behavior that pushed the country to this somber moment. For many Americans who disdain Trump and his riotous single term, the case could be a sign that, finally, he is being called to account for his rule-crushing behavior and that everyone – even former presidents – are equal under the law.

Its flight was closely tracked as it glided from Alaska to Montana, where the US Department of Defense stores some nuclear assets at the Malmstrom air force base. Good morning and happy Monday to all our politics blog readers. “Permitless carry does not make our communities safer and the bill is wildly unpopular in Florida, which is probably why it was signed quietly, behind closed doors, and with no fanfare,” she tweeted.

Elizabeth’s coronation, in 1953, was not attended by then president Dwight Eisenhower, although the US did send an appointed delegation.

As always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind. As commander-in-chief, Trump’s pathway was cleared of all obstacles. “Violence and destruction are not part of legitimate lawful expression,” she said.

Maybe, just maybe, if Trump had been embraced by the golfing establishment in the 1980s and ’90s, the rest of his life would have unfolded differently. Years earlier, Trump told me about a 68 he said he had shot at Bel-Air Country Club. In 2012, he marked April 1 with the word that Donald Trump had become a member of Augusta National. [when writing about the phone interview](https://firepitcollective.com/trump-speaks-out-bamberger/), that I had no advance notice Trump would be calling. By way of a cabin, an inconvenient tree (RIP) and various mentions of him in the club’s history, the ANGC-Ike relationship is an integral part of the club’s story. The club is famously tradition-minded, and aligned with both the PGA Tour and the USGA. Dwight Eisenhower became a member of Augusta National in 1948 as a hero of World War II, and the club’s membership helped get Ike elected president in 1952 and again in 1956. He doesn’t cheat, not in the classic sense of the word. A skillful portrait Eisenhower painted of Clifford Roberts, the club’s co-founder, hangs in the clubhouse. On Saturday, he broke the news that Augusta National had signed a deal with itself to make Augusta National the anchor site of the Masters through 2086. Long before he became a reality TV star, he surely would have had a fantasy about joining Augusta National.

Once inside the courthouse, whether via the 'perp walk' or a private entrance, Trump will likely be fingerprinted and have is mugshot taken like any other defendant in a criminal case. However, if Trump wins and becomes president once more while federal charges are being litigated, they would be dropped due to the Department of Justice's refusal to prosecute a sitting president. President Bill Clinton, while not indicted, was impeached in 1998 by the House of Representatives for perjury and obstruction of justice - related to a coverup of his relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The indictment has been filed under seal, meaning it is yet to be revealed - though Trump and his allies have taken to social media to tear into District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the grand jury's decision. Nothing in the US constitution prevents Trump from continuing his election campaign while dealing with the charges. It's expected he will be accompanied by Secret Service agents throughout this process, as extra security is put in place. He is due to leave his Florida Mar-a-Lago estate on Monday, April 3, and fly to Manhattan where he will spend the night in Trump Tower before turning himself in to authorities on Tuesday, April 4. It has been reported that the former president is facing more than 30 counts related to business fraud. With it happening just before voters were due to take to the polls, there is concern it could violate laws about payments that help an election campaign. Both women have claimed to have had sexual encounters with Mr Trump, who was married at the time, years before he got into politics and threw his hat in the ring as a presedential candidate. He has argued the case against him is politically motivated, with supporters at recent rallies brandishing signs calling it a 'witch hunt'. At the Manhattan Criminal Court building, floors are set to be shut down before the arraignment as part of security precautions.
