Donald Trump continues attacks on New York trial judge’s wife after appeal court reinstates gag order – live | Donald Trumpthedigitalchaps

The Joe Biden administration has announced new action to protect communities from lead exposure.

In a statement released on Thursday, the White House revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a proposal to “strengthen its lead and cooper rule that would require water systems to replace lead service lines within 10 years, helping secure safe drinking water for communities across the country.”

“The president’s bipartisan infrastructure law invests over $50 billion for the largest upgrade to the nation’s water infrastructure in history, and today’s action builds on these historic levels of funding from president Biden’s Investing in America agenda, a key pillar of Bidenomics, to replace lead service lines across the nation,” the White House said.

Joe Biden has once again reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to upholding protections surrounding reproductive healthcare.

“Congress must codify the protections of Roe v. Wade,” he tweeted on Thursday.

Donald Trump’s lawyer Christopher Kise has condemned the reinstatement of the gag order, telling CBS:

“In a country where the First Amendment is sacrosanct, President Trump may not even comment on why he thinks he cannot get a fair trial.”

Kise, who called today’s decision “a tragic day for the rule of law,” added, “Hard to imagine a more unfair process and hard to believe this is happening in America.”

The screenshots Donald Trump posted on to Truth Social in which he accuses the wife of New York state judge Arthur Engoron of posting anti-Trump content include various memes that appeared to be posted by X user @dm_sminxs.

One meme shows Trump digitally altered into wearing an orange prison jumpsuit and mopping floors. The caption read, “He’ll never be in the WHITE HOUSE again. He’s headed for the BIG HOUSE.”

Another meme also showed Trump digitally altered into an orange prison jumpsuit and reading a book in a jail cell. Next to the meme says, “2024” and “HE’S HEADED FOR THE BIG HOUSE.”

Another meme featured two photos, one of what appeared to be an old woman writing “FUCK TRUMP” on a wall,” and another digitally altered photo of a bald Trump posing for a mugshot in an orange jumpsuit.

“This is the Judge’s Wife and Family that are putting these things out. I am not entitled to a Jury under this Statute. Can this be happening in America? This is the most unfair Trial in the History of New York, and I’ve had some pretty unfair Trials!” Trump wrote in a caption accompanying the screenshots of the memes.

Speaking to Newsweek, Dawn Engoron pushed back against the accusations, saying, “I do not have a Twitter account. This is not me. I have not posted any anti Trump messages.”

Donald Trump continues attacks on judge’s wife after gag order reimposed

The latest resolution from Santos to expel Bowman will not move forward if Santos is expelled from Congress, CNN reports.

Santos has introduced a privileged resolution to expel New York representative Jamaal Bowman for pulling a Congressional fire alarm, C-span reported.

Santos introduced the resolution following an October incident when Bowman set off a fire alarm ahead of a House vote on a government spending stop gap bill to prevent a shutdown.

Bowman has fiercely denied intentionally pulling the fire alarm to delay the vote. The New York congressman said he mistakenly thought the alarm would open a nearby door.

But House republicans have condemned Bowman’s actions and vowed to punish him, even going so far as to link it to riots caused by Donald Trump supporters on January 6.

New York’s Republican representative Nicole Malliotakis has responded to George Santos’s defiance amid efforts to expel him from the House, telling CNN:

“I believe that the Earth is round and that George Santos needs to go.”

Malliotakis, who previously voted to not remove Santos from the House, went on to say:

“Look, the previous vote, we had Republicans and Democrats vote against it, simply because we were waiting for the ethics [committee] to do its due diligence, to do the due process and come back and furnish the report so we could see what type of evidence and facts they were able to find. That is what we requested of the ethics committee early this year and it was premature to be voting on an expulsion before getting the results of their investigation.

But following the report being released. I don’t see how somebody can vote to keep him here… Santos is a stain on the institution. He does not represent his constituents well. He does not have the trust of his constituents nor the members of Congress and the sooner he is removed, the better off we’ll all be.”

Here is the reinstatement of the gag order on Donald Trump and his lawyers in his $250m New York civil fraud case:

“Petitioners having moved to stay enforcement of the aforesaid gag order and supplemental limited gag order pending hearing and determination of the instant petition.

Now, upon reading and filing the papers with respect to the motion, and due deliberation having been had thereon, it is ordered that the motion is denied; the interim relief granted by order of a Justice of this Court, dated November 16, 2023, is hereby vacated.”

The political initiative Republican Accountability has hit back at George Santos’s claims that the efforts to expel him from the House is “all theater”.

“He’s sure one to talk,” the group said.

Donald Trump gag order reinstated by New York appellate court

In response to George Santos’s press conference, Josh Sorbe, the press secretary for the Senate judiciary committee, brought attention to the garbage truck behind Santos, saying:

That garbage truck at the George Santos press conference was a paid actor.”

In a tongue-in-cheek post, Texas’s Democratic representative Jasmine Crockett responded to George Santos’s vows to expel New York Democratic representative Jamaal Bowman, saying:

So now instead of one expulsion, let’s have two! All the while, again, we could be working on the President’s package which has aid for cities feeling crushed by the migrant crisis or hell we could maybe pass a budget, but nope… we will have dueling expulsions. Welcome to preschool … I mean our prestigious congress (darn autocorrect).”
