Lifelong Democrat leaves party, refuses to support Biden: 'I'm very dissatisfied' 

 Story by Madeline Coggins • 3h    Fox News

President Biden's approval rating has plunged heading into the holiday season, and support from his own party appears to be dwindling. On "Fox & Friends" Tuesday, a lifelong-Democrat-turned-independent voter said she recently left the party over Biden's "lack of understanding" of American voters, adding that she plans to vote for former President Trump.

BARBARA TULKO: I'm very dissatisfied with the current president. I was a lifelong Democrat and recently changed to independent because I have found that every time I try to go to the grocery store, it costs me more money. I'm a little afraid about what's going on with our border. I'm kind of concerned about it. I live within five minutes from New York City, and I'm actually kind of afraid to go there. And I think a lot of it has to do with his lack of understanding of what's really important to the American people. He's busy worrying about what's going on in other places.

Only one-third of Americans gave Biden a thumbs up on the job he is doing in the White House, according to a new national public opinion survey.

The president stands at 34% approval in a Monmouth University poll released on Monday, with 61% giving Biden a thumbs down on his job performance.

The president's approval is at an all-time low in Monmouth polling since Biden took over the White House nearly three years ago.

Americans questioned in the survey gave the president particularly low marks for his handling of immigration (26%) and inflation (28%).

Biden once held the upper hand over Trump in 2024 rematch surveys, but Trump began enjoying an advantage over his successor in the White House in most polls starting in October.

Biden migrants proposal proves US border crisis could end tomorrow   

Opinion by Post Editorial Board • 20h New York Post

Biden migrant proposal proves U S border crisis could end tomorrow (provided by New York Post)

What on earth is the congressional GOP thinking?

Reports indicate the White House and Republicans in Congress are at work on a deal that would tighten border security in exchange for OK’ing aid to Ukraine — and that a major bone of contention is whether to set a trigger point for expedited migrant removals when illegal crossings hit 3,000 or 5,000 per day. 

Huh?

If Washington can tell border agents to stop waving in illegals when the total hits some arbitrary threshold, then it can tell them to do it from the jump. 

In other words, by dickering over just how many illegal migrants can come through in a day before the door slams shut, the Biden administration has at long last said the quiet part out loud: The law doesn’t actually require treating the word “asylum” as a magic “open sesame.”

Yes, the border can be closed.

It’s open because Biden opted to appease the left wing of the Democratic Party, which wants open borders however it can get them. 

Look: The law says every illegal entrant must be detained until “final determination” of their status; all the evidence indicates the vast majority don’t have legitimate asylum claims. 

The smart immigration policy open-borders Biden refuses to consider

GOP efforts to “compromise” here (in order to reduce the overall time) would endorse the plainly illegal policy that Biden adopted on Day 1 of his administration. 

And even the 3,000-in-a-day trigger would still add more than 1 million to the country per year — people without employment, shelter or other key resources. 

So adopting real border security would not be Biden “selling out,” as disgraced Sen. Bob Menendez called it last week (and he really should know better, given the pile of gold bars that show how for-sale he is).

Rather, Biden is selling out the whole country with his “wave them in” policy. 

He and his flunkies invite millions in and leave inundated border towns and big cities to fend for themselves. 

Getting that aid to Ukraine (and to Israel, along with funds to beef up US defense procurement) is vital, but so is ending the border madness.

If Republicans can’t get Biden to take the obvious deal, they must at least avoid any “compromise” that codifies his twisting of the law.

I hope the removal of these monuments makes all the "people" who wanted them removed "FEEL BETTER". These soldiers are no different than any of the other veterens, who fought in all the wars the US was involved in. they were fathers, brothers, sons and cousins who for one reason or another wound up fighting for the southern confederacy. In some ways, its's not too different than those who fought in Viet Nam. The GOVERNMENT forced those men to go to war fighting for a foreign country. A lot of people have never read the TRUTH about their own American history. Ponder this: Why would the southern states want to go to war against the "north"? There must be a reason! Don't fall for the standard answer...SLAVERY !!!.

Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery to be removed despite GOP opposition      Story by Sarah Rumpf-Whitten • 23h  Fox News

Despite efforts from a group of Republican lawmakers, a Confederate statue in the Arlington National Cemetery will be removed in the coming days.

The Reconciliation Monument, known as the Confederate Statue, is part of the push to remove military installations named after the Confederacy in the wake of the summer 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.

According to a press release from the national cemetery, the statue will be removed from the cemetery by Dec. 22.

The move to remove the statue is in compliance with the Congressional mandate to remove all Confederate memorials by Jan. 1, 2024.

The Congressional mandate, passed in 2020, declared that the Department of Defense must remove all "names, symbols, displays, monuments, and paraphernalia that honor or commemorate the Confederate States of America" by Jan. 1, 2024.

The deconstruction of the memorial comes after a group of GOP lawmakers, led by Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., wrote a letter to Secretary Austin and demanded that they keep the Confederate Memorial in place until the end of the fiscal year 2024 appropriations process.

'Another rigged election!' Trump appears 

worried as he whines about lawsuits and 

charges

Donald Trump could have just set the stage for another election defeat, as he says the 2024 race is "ALREADY ON ITS WAY TO BEING ANOTHER RIGGED ELECTION!"

Trump, who earlier on Saturday gave a speech in New Hampshire in which he said immigrants are "poisoning" the blood of the country, afterward turned his attention to the numerous legal challenges he's facing.

"Look, it is what it is, but isn’t it unfair that I can be running such a great and successful campaign for President, leading in every poll against a corrupt and incompetent President, working so hard in a historic fight to save our Nation, and I have to go through the additional burden of, at the same time, fighting my political opponent’s many DOJ, A.G., and D.A. inspired non-meritorious lawsuits against me," the former president whined on his own social media platform, Truth Social.

He went on to suggest the current president is behind the numerous prosecutions and allegations.

"Joe Biden, and the thugs that surround him, should never be allowed to get away with this evil act of ELECTION INTERFERENCE," the ex-president wrote.

He also drew attention to a Wall Street Journal piece that accuses Special Counsel Jack Smith of politicizing the trial schedule by trying to involve the Supreme Court.

"Even today’s Wall Street Journal Editorial stated that, 'As we warned Mr. Smith (Deranged Jack)and A.G. Merrick Garland, indicting Mr. Trump would thrust them into the middle of an election campaign. This (the lawsuits) would have unintentional and perhaps damaging consequences. The wiser decision would have been….to let the voters decide.'"

Trump added, "THIS IS ALREADY ON ITS WAY TO BEING ANOTHER RIGGED ELECTION!"

Capitol Police Commander Present During Jan. 6 Says It ‘Was Not An Insurrection’ 

 Jon Dougherty December 15, 2023   Conservative Brief

A former Capitol Police lieutenant who was present during the January 6, 2021, incident at the Capitol Building and who ordered the House and Senate to be evacuated pushed back hard on critics of then-President Donald Trump and their description of what happened.

In an X post on Thursday, the former officer, Tarik Johnson, noted that he’s been saying publicly that “J6 was not an insurrection, but not many people would listen,” which was a reference to 2024 GOP presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy’s comments during a CNN town hall event in Iowa a day earlier.

“Ironically so, no one would benefit more than I if J6 was an insurrection as I … was the Commander that ordered and led the evacuations of the Senate and the House during the J6 breach after begging former Assistant Chief Yogananda Pittman for permission to do so as she sat comfortably in the Commander Center watching the events unfold on CCTV while Chief Steven A Sund was obtaining National Guard approval and getting assistance from local law enforcement agencies,” his post continued.

“Pittman flat out ignored me so I was forced to forge ahead with the evacuations without obtaining approval from her,” Johnson’s post continued. “Three days later I decided to call Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont to report Pittman’s malfeasance and approximately an hour after I got off the phone with the senator I was contacted by the USCP internal affairs section and informed I was suspended.

“The suspension lasted for 17 months and I was under a USCP gag order not to speak about the events of January 6, 2021 to the media until I separated from the Department,” he wrote. “I was also required to remain in my house Monday through Friday from the hours of 8am to 4pm and unable to step off my property without notifying the USCP for fear of being disciplined up to and including termination during those 17 months.

“These are SOME of many facts USCP Chief J Thomas Manger (who is arguably the most corrupt politician in the country) was brought in to cover-up,” he added.

“If presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy would like more FACTS to disrupt the insurrection narrative, I will inbox his designated representative my personal phone number. God bless our country now and in 2024,” he concluded.

Tarik Johnson  

@elleonCEOTK

Vivek Ramaswamy got a lot right in this interview. I’ve been saying publicly for a year that J6 was not an insurrection but not many people would listen. Ironically so, no one would benefit more than I if J6 was an insurrection as I (Tarik Johnson) was the Commander that ordered… Show more

Vivek Ramaswamy

@VivekGRamaswamy
Too bad for CNN, we’ll take the TRUTH on Jan. 6 mainstream. There is clear evidence that there was at the very least entrapment of peaceful protestors, similar to the fake Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot & countless other cases. The FBI won’t admit how many undercover officers…

Ramaswamy responded to Johnson’s post: “This is wild.”

During the debate in question, Ramaswamy said at one point: “If you had told me that January 6 was in any way an inside job the subject of government entrapment, I would have told you that was crazy talk, fringe conspiracy theory nonsense.”

But, he added, “I can tell you now, having gone somewhat deep in this: it’s not.”

“I mean, the reality is this: we do have a government — first of all, we have to acknowledge that has lied to us systematically over the last several years about the origin of COVID-19. About the Hunter Biden laptop that we were told was false by 51 CIA experts and otherwise before we now know that it was true,” the GOP contender continued.

“You can go straight down the list of Trump-Russia, disinformation, collusion, hoax, all of it. Now we come to January 6. The reality is we know that there were federal law enforcement agents in that field. We don’t know how many I think it’s shameful.” he said before moderator Abby Phillips cut him off and claimed there was no evidence for his observations.

The candidate held his ground, however. “I know that the establishment doesn’t approve of this message,” he said to applause.

“So why before Congress, when pressed on what the number was, they [the FBI] didn’t say there were none they just couldn’t say how many there were?” Ramaswamy countered. “We’ve seen multiple informants suggesting that there were. We know people were FBI informants.”

These are just the ones who ADMIT they cheated....HOW MANY MORE????

Here's the Number of Mail-in Voters 

Who Admit They Cheated During the 

2020 Election  Matt Vespa| December 12, 2023 TOWNHALL

The 2020 election is over. Joe Biden is president, but the 81 million votes number will never be accepted by half the country, especially given the visible mental and physical decline of the aging Delaware liberal. The COVID pandemic permitted Democratic secretaries of state to finagle the in-person and mail-in voting protocols, which courts retroactively ruled illegal. In states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, the state legislatures, then run by Republicans, had to sign off on the new measures. That was the steal, folks.

The number of integrity issues and allegations of electoral impropriety could scale Everest, but Rasmussen and the Heartland Institute conducted a survey where 20 percent of mail-in voters admitted that they cheated in the last presidential election (via Rasmussen):

More than 20% of voters who used mail-in ballots in 2020 admit they participated in at least one form of election fraud.

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and The Heartland Institute finds that 21% of Likely U.S. voters who voted by absentee or mail-in ballot in the 2020 election say they filled out a ballot, in part or in full, on behalf of a friend or family member, such as a spouse or child, while 78% say they didn’t.

Thirty percent (30%) of those surveyed said they voted by absentee or mail-in ballot in the 2020 election. Nineteen percent (19%) of those who cast mail-in votes say a friend or family member filled out their ballot, in part or in full, on their behalf. Furthermore, 17% of mail-in voters say that in the 2020 election, they cast a ballot in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident. All of these practices are illegal, Heartland Institute officials noted.\

Seventeen percent (17%) of those who cast mail-in ballots in 2020 say they signed a ballot or ballot envelope on behalf of a friend or family member, with or without their permission. Heartland Institute officials noted that “forging a signature on a ballot or ballot envelope are fraudulent activities that invalidate votes.

”Among other findings of the Rasmussen/Heartland Institute survey:– Forty-six percent (46%) of those surveyed voted for Joe Biden in 2020, while 45% voted for Donald Trump. More Biden voters (36%) than Trump voters (23%) say they voted by absentee or mail-in ballot in the 2020 election. Thirty-eight percent (38%) of Democrats voted by mail in 2020, as did 24% of Republicans and 27% of voters not affiliated with either major party.

I’ll let you debate and comment below concerning the findings of this poll. It confirms what many have held for years about the last election. In general, it brings into question how the temptation to commit fraud stems from the proliferation of mail-in and absentee voting, which favor Democratic Party candidates. The last election wasn’t the most secure, a point so unbelievable you’d think it came from a North Korean state media report. Now, are we a banana republic? Some think we’re already there or steamrolling toward one, but we’re not Afghanistan 2009…yet. But Democrats continue to believe that voter fraud and election malfeasance is a conspiracy theory. It’s not; the people who committed these crimes are confessing.

Department of Justice civil rights official Kristen Clarke faced criticism after claiming to be unfamiliar with a significant case about freedom of speech.

The case involves the Supreme Court’s review of a ban on certain communications between the Biden administration and Big Tech platforms, accused of censoring speech on topics such as Hunter Biden’s laptop and COVID-19 origins.

During a hearing, Clarke’s lack of awareness of the case sparked controversy, leading to public and congressional backlash, with some questioning the department’s priorities and its commitment to protecting civil rights. (Trending: Democrat Accused Of Blocking Release of Jeffrey Epstein Flight Logs)

Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., recalled the “Missouri vs. Biden case” could be the “most massive attack on free speech in United States history and how the Supreme Court has since taken jurisdiction of the case.”

Bishop then asked Clarke, “Is any criminal investigation or prosecution of the persons responsible for that activity in the FBI, CISA, and at the White House and their co-conspirators underway in the Civil Rights Division?”

“Congressman, I’m not familiar with this litigation, but happy to bring your question back,” Clarke replied.

“You are not aware of the Missouri vs. Biden litigation that is currently being taken up by the United States Supreme Court. Is that correct?” Bishop asked.

“Unfortunately, I’m not, Congressman,” Clarke answered.

“Assuming that you’re not aware of that, what reason would there be that the civil rights division of the Justice Department leader is unaware of what a United States District Court has described as the most massive attack on free speech in the United States’ history?” he asked.

“This does not appear to be a case that I’m familiar with,” concluded Clarke, after not giving answer.

The exchange went viral on social media, prompting further criticism and discussion about the case’s significance.

As Trump's fraud trial eyes his sweeping financial reports, executive says they're not done anymore

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump's company no longer prepares the sweeping financial statements that New York state contends were full of deceptive numbers for years, an executive testified Monday at the former president's civil fraud trial.

Trump's 2014 to 2021 “statements of financial condition” are at the heart of state Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against him, his company and some of its key figures. The defendants deny wrongdoing, but James says they misled lenders and insurers by giving them financial statements that greatly inflated Trump's asset values and overall net worth.

Nowadays, the Trump Organization continues to prepare various audits and other financial reports specific to some of its components, but “there is no roll-up financial statement of the company," said Mark Hawthorn, the chief operating officer of the Trump Organization’s hotel arm.

He wasn't asked why the comprehensive reports had ceased but said they are “not required by any lender, currently, or any constituency.”

Messages seeking comment on the matter were left with spokespeople for the Trump Organization.

Hawthorn was testifying for the defense, which argues that various companies under the Trump Organization’s umbrella have produced reams of financial documents “that no one had a problem with,” as lawyer Clifford Robert put it.

A lawyer for James' office, Andrew Amer, stressed that the suit is about Trump's statements of financial condition, calling the other documents “irrelevant.”

Now finishing its second month, the trial is putting a spotlight on the real estate empire that vaulted Trump into public life and eventually politics. The former president and current Republican 2024 front-runner maintains that James, a Democrat, is trying to damage his campaign.

Trump asserts that his wealth was understated, not overblown, on his financial statements. He also has stressed that the numbers came with disclaimers saying that they weren’t audited and that others might reach different conclusions about his financial position.

Judge Arthur Engoron, who will decide the verdict in the non-jury trial, has already ruled that Trump and other defendants engaged in fraud. The current proceeding is to decide remaining claims of conspiracy, insurance fraud and falsifying business records.

James wants the judge to impose over $300 million in penalties and to ban Trump from doing business in New York — and that’s on top of Engoron’s pretrial order that a receiver take control of some of Trump’s properties. An appeals court has frozen that order for now.

President Trump Releases Statement Regarding New York Judge    by Vince Quill1 day ago1 day ago

President Trump has released several statements regarding New York Judge Arthur Engoron.

Following an overturning of Engoron’s unconstitutional gag order and a temporary lifting of that order, the 45th President took to social media to lambast the clearly partisan judge.

Trump told his followers on Truth Social: “Judge Arthur Engoron has just been overturned (stayed!) by the New York State Appellate Division (Appeals Court), for the 4th TIME (on the same case!).

His Ridiculous and Unconstitutional Gag Order, not allowing me to defend myself against him and his politically biased and out-of-control, Trump-Hating Clerk, who is sinking him and his Court to new levels of LOW, is a disgrace.

They are defending the Worst and Least Respected Attorney General in the United States, Letitia James, who is a Worldwide disgrace, as is her illegal Witch Hunt against me.

The Radical and Unprecedented actions of Judge Engoron will keep BUSINESSES and JOBS forever out of New York State.

Federal Judge Makes Huge Decision On Voting Machines In Georgia

by Anthony T   11 hours ago11 hours ago

A Federal judge in Georgia has ruled there is sufficient evidence that Georgia’s election machines are prone to cybersecurity issues.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Totenberg wrote there is a cause to believe that “cybersecurity deficiencies that unconstitutionally burden Plaintiffs’ First and Fourteenth Amendment rights and capacity to case effective votes that are accurately counted.”

Judge Totenberg also shot down the idea that the plaintiffs in the case were “conspiracy theorists” for suggesting election machines are susceptible to being hacked.

She wrote, “The Court notes that the record evidence does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety. Indeed, some of the nation’s leading cybersecurity experts and computer scientists have provided testimony and affidavits on behalf of the Plaintiff’s case in the long course of this litigation.”

Per The Post Millenial:

A federal judge in Georgia has set a trial date for the case on whether the state’s voting machines are prone to cybersecurity issues. The plaintiffs argue that the machines could impact voters’ ability to effectively cast their ballots. This would be in violation of the United States Constitution.

US District Court Judge Amy Totenberg set the bench trial date for Jan. 9, 2024. The lawsuit was filed by the Coalition for Good Governance, which is an election integrity advocacy group, and several individual voters. The plaintiffs are requesting the use of hand-marked paper ballots in place of electronic voting machines on grounds that the machines, which are made by Dominion, are susceptible to cybersecurity issues, according to Newsmax.

The plaintiffs hoped to come up with a resolution without the need for a trial, but Judge Totenberg issued a ruling on Friday and said: “The Court cannot wave a magic wand, in this case, to address the varied challenges to our democracy and election system in recent years, including those presented in this case. But reasonable, timely discussion and compromise in this case, coupled with prompt, informed legislative action, might certainly make a difference that benefits the parties and the public.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and members of the State Election Board are named as defendants in the suit.

The lawsuit included an expert report that detected weaknesses in the Georgia election system. As a result, a federal cybersecurity agency issued an advisory to jurisdictions utilizing the equipment. Furthermore, the report prompted certain Georgia Republicans to advocate for the abandonment of the voting machines altogether.

Per Becker News:

Judge Amy Totenberg has issued a decision concurring there is sufficient reason to believe that the electronic voting machines used by the State of Georgia have substantial flaws.

The District Court Judge found that there is sufficient cause to believe that there may be “cybersecurity deficiencies that unconstitutionally burden Plaintiffs’ First and Fourteenth Amendment rights and capacity to case effective votes that are accurately counted.”

Totenberg scheduled a bench trial for January 9, 2024, which entails the absence of a jury. Nevertheless, she acknowledged that a compromise might be possible if the state legislature were to take action.

“The Court cannot wave a magic wand in this case to address the varied challenges to our democracy and election system in recent years, including those presented in this case,” she wrote. “But reasonable, timely discussion and compromise in this case, coupled with prompt, informed legislative action, might certainly make a difference that benefits the parties and the public.”

Critically, the court denied that criticism of security flaws with Georgia’s voting machines are based purely on “conspiracy theories.”

Biden Administration's $10 Billion Prize to Iran: Just A Small Thank You for Engineering a War, Wounding 56 US Troops and Trying to Drive the US Out of The Middle East.

·by Majid Rafizadeh  November 18, 2023

The solution is not to give Iran $10 billion as a prize for practicing extensive regional aggression and engineering mass-murder. Real solutions would include cutting the flow of funds by re-imposing -- and enforcing -- primary and secondary sanctions; incapacitating the port from which Iran sends oil to China; sending Ayatollah Khamenei and the leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRCG) pictures of their homes; making the ruling mullahs seriously aware of military options, such as taking out the training bases and leadership of the IRGC, and employing significant military force when required -- for instance now.

Jim Jordan Announces Investigation Into DOJ For Alleged Spying On Congressional Staffers November 1, 2023  Martin Walsh  Conservative Brief

Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan announced that the House Judiciary Committee has begun looking into reports that the Justice Department spied on members of Congress and their staff.

Iowa GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley is also looking into allegations that the Department of Justice spied on his former chief investigative counsel, Jason Foster. On Tuesday, Jordan made the investigation public on Fox Business.

“We now know that they spied on congressional staffers,” Jordan said in an appearance on Fox Business’s The Evening Edit with Elizabeth MacDonald. “We want to know, how far does it go? Were they spying on members? Were they spying on other staffers? Keep this in mind, Liz: We know they spied on President Trump’s campaign. We know all that from the FISA Court and what they did with Carter Page and Papadopoulos—everything else. Now we’ve learned that they spied on one of Sen. Grassley’s staff members, Jason Foster.”

“We want to know, does it go further?” he stressed. “So we’ve sent letters not only to the Department of Justice but to all these carriers that the Department of Justice worked with to get the phone records and the email records from congressional staffers like Mr. Foster. How far does this go? Were they spying on members and other staff?”

Jordan wrote to Alphabet, Apple, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon’s CEOs, as well as Attorney General Merrick Garland, requesting information about the DOJ’s alleged attempts to obtain the private communications of members of Congress and their staff as part of the investigation.

“The Justice Department’s efforts to obtain the private communications of congressional staffers, including staffers conducting oversight of the Department, are wholly unacceptable and offend fundamental separation of powers principles as well as Congress’s constitutional authority to conduct oversight of the Department,” the letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook read.

The letter continues by elaborating on the claim that the DOJ issued subpoenas to congressional staffers looking into the DOJ’s Crossfire Hurricane operation on behalf of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in order to obtain emails and records.

“These revelations strongly suggest that the Justice Department weaponized its law-enforcement authority to spy on the entities seeking to hold it accountable,” the letter stated.

Jordan Lays Out Timeline For Biden Impeachment Inquiry     November 13, 2023  Jon Dougherty  Conservative Brief                     

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has laid out a timeline for when the GOP-controlled House will make a decision on whether to move forward with an official impeachment of President Joe Biden.

On Sunday, the Ohio Republican said a decision on whether to proceed will most likely be made shortly after the first of the year, according to Newsweek.

“The House Oversight Committee is currently conducting an inquiry into the Biden family after then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California, announced the investigation in early September,” the outlet reported on Sunday.

“At the center of the Biden impeachment inquiry is his alleged involvement in his son Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings. The White House has repeatedly denied that the president ever had any involvement in his son’s business,” the outlet continued.

Last week, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) signed subpoenas for first son Hunter Biden and the president’s brother, James Biden, along with additional members of their family. Also, Comer signed off on a subpoena for Rob Walker, who is a former business associate of Hunter.

The first son has been requested to appear for a closed-door deposition on Dec. 13, while James Biden “is expected to attend a deposition on December 6 and Walker is scheduled for November 29,” Newsweek reported.

Jordan, who is also a member of the Oversight Committee, revealed to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday how he sees the impeachment timeline playing out.

Trump Posts Photo Of Paper He Attempted To Show Judge In Civil Fraud Trial

Former President Donald Trump shared a document on his Truth Social page stating that the Manhattan judge presiding over his civil fraud trial refused to allow him to appear in court.

In the post, Trump said he pulled the document from his jacket pocket during sometimes raucous testimony on Monday but was denied permission to read it. Trump identified the document as a disclaimer, which he then claimed vindicated him in the $250 million civil fraud case that New York Attorney General Letitia James had brought against him.

“This is the Paper that I wanted to submit that the Judge refused to take, because he doesn’t want anybody to know about the Disclaimer Clause at the beginning of each Financial Statement,” Trump wrote in his social media post.

Attached to the post was a document titled “Disclaimers Provided to Banks in Each Financial Statement.” The document instructs the reader that “considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of current value.”

“Users of this financial statement should recognize that they might reach different conclusions about the financial condition of Donald J. Trump,” the document concludes.
