GEORGIA STATE SENATOR MOVES TOWARD IMPEACHING DA FANI WILLIS OVER TRUMP CHARGES

GEORGIA STATE SENATOR MOVES TOWARD IMPEACHING DA FANI WILLIS OVER TRUMP CHARGES



Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division Jeffrey Clark speaks during a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. 

Willis held a press conference late Monday after a Fulton County grand jury handed up charges, saying that she would like a trial to take place within six months.

In the indictment, the Fulton County district attorney gave Trump and the other 18 codefendants until noon on Aug. 25 to surrender to law enforcement.

"To our knowledge, not one of the 19 defendants named in the indictment has been served with any warrant, taken into custody, had a first appearance, or been arraigned, or waived arraignment," MacDougald wrote in the Thursday objection.

"Since the District Attorney’s Office made no attempt to confer with opposing counsel for any of the 19 Defendants before filing its Motion, it has no earthly idea whether any of the proposed dates fit the calendars of any, much less all of the dozens of busy attorneys who will be involved in representing the Defendants," the objection continued.

Clark is charged with one count of racketeering and one count of criminal attempt to commit false statements.

Trump's lawyers are also seeking to suspend the trial date, pushing to delay the case until April 2026.

The suggested date would be years after the Justice Department's recommendation that the trial begin Jan. 2, 2024.

In a filing, Trump's lawyers say the years-long delay is necessary both because of the unprecedented nature of the case and the "massive" amount of information — 11.5 million pages — that they have to review. They said they would have to review about 100,000 pages per day in order to meet the Justice Department's proposed trial date.

Liverpool to bid, press hardest to sign £60million player

Liverpool remain heavily linked with Mali international and Crystal Palace star, Cheick Doucoure and are expected to submit a bid. According to  Football Insider , the Eagles are preparing to receive an offer from the Merseysiders, who have stepped up the interest in signing the African play breaker this summer. The London side want to hold on to their prized asset but have not completely shut the door on his departure. Chairman, Steve Parish, told  Sky Sports : “If people can make offers for your players, there’s nothing you can do about that, and we will look at those offers in light of what’s best for the club.” “Right now, it’s very, very close to the end of the window. It would have to be something unbelievable for us to even consider doing something, and we would also have to have a ready-made replacement that we think we could go and get.” As per The Evening  Standard , Liverpool will press the hardest to lure the 23-year-old, who would be open to moving to Anfield...

What does Neymar have to do with Lukaku's future? Answered

 Romelu Lukaku is still at Chelsea, despite the club and the player's mutual desire to part ways. The Belgian striker has already seen his dream collapse largely due to his own actions. Inter Milan left the race to sign him after Lukaku entered talks with their most bitter rivals Juventus. According to Nizaar Kinsella, Juve's offer is still on the table after Chelsea verbally accepted a €37m bid plus €2.5m in add-ons. The only other offer Chelsea have received is from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal who are prepared to pay €40m for the 30-year-old. Al Hilal have just completed a mammoth €90m deal to sign Neymar from PSG. If their offer is still active, it means that they plan to build a big-name front three with Neymar, Lukaku and ex-Barcelona winger Malcom. Still, Lukaku is yet to agree to either of those offers, with Chelsea waiting for his decision.
