DOJ To SCOTUS: No, Trump’s Coup Attempt Is Not Immune From Prosecution

WASHINGTON ― Federal prosecutors Monday urged the nation’s high court to reject Donald Trump’s claim that he is immune from prosecution for his coup attempt because it was done while he was president.“The Constitution does not give a president the power to conspire to defraud the United States in the certification of presidential-election results, obstruct proceedings for doing so, or deprive voters of the effect of their votes,” Special Counsel Jack Smith wrote in a 66-page brief that blistered Trump’s claims that he was merely doing his presidential duties on Jan. 6, 2021.“The severity, range, and democracy-damaging nature of the alleged crimes are unique in American history.

WASHINGTON — The Republican National Committee heads into the 2024 presidential election year with just $7.6 million available, barely a tenth of what it had four years ago, after accounting for inflation.Even compared to the end of 2015, the last time it was entering a presidential election year with the opposite party controlling the White House, it has just a third of the $21.3 million the party had then in inflation-adjusted dollars.“There’s significant anxiety,” said Oscar Brock, a committee member from Tennessee.Party leaders are keenly aware of the financial picture and how it makes the voter-registration and turnout operation it will need next November more difficult.
