Judge rejects Donald Trump’s claim of immunity in his federal 2020 election prosecution

A federal judge has rejected Donald Trump’s effort to throw out his 2020 election subversion case in Washington, dismissing the Republican’s claims that he's immune from prosecution.

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for orchestrating a failed plot to keep Donald Trump in power after the Republican lost the 2020 presidential election. Tuesday’s sentencing caps one of the most significant prosecutions over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Tarrio’s sentence is the longest so far among more than 1,100 Capitol riot cases. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and former Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean each received 18 years for their Jan. 6 convictions. Tarrio's defense attorneys asked for no more than 15 years in prison, and told reporters after the hearing that they will appeal.

Special counsel got a search warrant for Twitter to turn over info on Trump’s account, documents say

Trump, a Republican, has pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of Congress’ certification of Biden’s win.

Donald Trump's legal team has told a judge overseeing the Washington election conspiracy case against him that prosecutors’ proposed protective order aimed at preventing the public disclosure of evidence is too broad and would restrict his First Amendment rights. Lawyers for the early 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner said Monday the judge should impose a more limited protective order that would prevent the defense team from publicly disclosing only materials deemed “sensitive,” such as grand jury documents. Prosecutors quickly countered with their own filing accusing Trump of objecting to their proposal because he wants to use the government’s evidence to “try the case in the media rather than in the courtroom.”

The Justice Department has asked a federal judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Washington to step in after he released a post online that appeared to promise revenge on anyone who goes after him. Prosecutors want U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a protective order concerning evidence in the case. Prosecutors are pointing to a post on Trump’s social media platform in which Trump wrote, “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” Chutkan gave Trump’s legal team until 5 p.m. Monday to respond to the government’s request. Trump’s legal team filed a request to extend the response deadline to Thursday and to hold a hearing, but Chutkan denied the request.
