Yahoo:Protests erupt in NYC — not for Trump but for 'The Joker'

 

Quote

 

NEW YORK (AP) — Throngs of protesters gathered at the courthouse steps, chanting for freedom for their embattled hero. Police kept watch as passions flared and voices roared. Squad cars and television trucks encircled the commotion.

 

It’s a scene New York City authorities have been bracing for as prosecutors consider an indictment against former President Donald Trump, who has invited followers to rally on his behalf. But on Saturday, it was just a movie shoot — for the “Joker” sequel to be precise.

 

The roars faded and the crowds dispersed — on command — when the director yelled, “Cut!”

 

 

Wonder if we're going to see footage from this filming used by Fox and the like, claiming it's from pro-Trump protests.

Yahoo:Filthy Montage Mocks CNN, MSNBC Coverage Of Looming Donald Trump Arrest

 

Quote

 

“The Daily Show” on Thursday mocked news coverage of the possible impending indictment of former President Donald Trump for a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels.

 

In a video titled the “Trump Arrest Edging Compilation,” the Comedy Central program spliced together clips of news personalities and guests, principally on CNN and MSNBC, talking about how the case was “heading toward the climax” and would be a “really explosive moment,” among other innuendos.

 

It’s the “hottest compilation on Pornhub right now,” the show joked on Twitter.

 

 

Yes, The Daily Show makes fun of "The Liberal Media", too.

Russia Behind Manhattan District Attorney Bomb Threats During Trump Hush Money Probe

 

Russian email addresses were reportedly behind a series of fake bomb threats sent to the Manhattan district attorney last week in an apparent attempt to stop the hush money probe into Donald Trump, RadarOnline.com has learned.

 

In a shocking development shortly after it was revealed that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and numerous Manhattan court buildings received bomb threats last week, the FBI confirmed the threats were traced back to a series of Russian email accounts.

 

The threats, which are now being investigated by the NYPD and FBI, were reportedly emailed to local government officials of the Manhattan community board on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

 

Even more shocking are reports that the hoax bomb threats listed numerous government buildings and public schools as the intended targets of alleged pipe bomb attacks.

In Trump probe, key witness returns, no indictment vote yet

 

A pivotal figure in the hush money payment investigation of Donald Trump returned on Monday to the building where a grand jury has been meeting for months, a repeat appearance suggesting his testimony could be key as prosecutors push toward potential criminal charges.

 

There was still no word on when the panel might vote on a possible indictment of the former president.

 

David Pecker, a longtime Trump friend and the former chief executive of the parent company of The National Enquirer, was back as the grand jury heard testimony in the probe for the first time since last Monday, when a witness favorable to the ex-president appeared.

 

The grand jury is now back on the Trump matter, according to a person familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss secretive proceedings. The ex-president is being investigated over payments during his 2016 campaign to two women who alleged affairs or sexual encounters with him.

 

Trump denies being involved with either of the women, porn actor Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal, and claims he’s the victim of “extortion.”

 

Among the witnesses the grand jury has already heard from is Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer who has said he orchestrated the payoffs. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to federal charges arising from the payments and has become a potentially major witness for state prosecutors.

 

Pecker is seen as relevant to the investigation because his company, American Media Inc., secretly assisted Trump’s campaign by paying $150,000 to McDougal in August 2016 for the rights to her story about an alleged affair with Trump. The company then suppressed McDougal’s story until after the election, a dubious journalism practice known as “catch-and-kill.”

 

Cohen made recordings of a conversation in which he and Trump spoke about the arrangement to pay McDougal through the tabloid publisher.

 

At one point in the recording, Cohen told Trump, “I need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend, David,” a reference to Pecker.

 

Cohen told Trump that he had already spoken with the Trump Organization’s longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, on “how to set the whole thing up.”

 

Trump then said: “What do we got to pay for this? One-fifty?”

 

Cohen also signed an agreement to buy the nondisclosure part of McDougal’s contract with AMI for $125,000 through a company he formed called Resolution Consultants LLC, but a few months later Pecker told Cohen that the deal was off and Cohen never paid the $125,000, according to court documents from Cohen’s criminal case.

 

Separately, Cohen has admitted to paying $130,000 to Daniels to keep her from telling her story to the Enquirer or some other media.

 

Trump has said that he personally, not his company, reimbursed Cohen.

 

Federal prosecutors revealed in 2018 that they had agreed not to bring criminal charges against AMI. Pecker has since stepped down as CEO.

Grand Jury Votes to Indict Donald Trump in New York: Live Updates

 

A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.

 

The felony indictment, filed under seal by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, will likely be announced in the coming days. By then, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will have asked Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment on charges that remain unknown for now.

Wait, CNN is only saying the grand jury voted to indict, not that the DA has actually done it.

 

Yes, that's how it works.  From the article I posted:
