Trump’s criminal trial in Georgia is suspended by order of the Court of Appeals

The criminal trial of former American president and Republican pre-candidate Donald Trump in Georgia (USA) for trying to reverse the results of the 2020 elections in that state was suspended on Wednesday by order of the Court of Appeals.

The process will not resume until there is a decision on the request of the former president (2017-2021) to disqualify the prosecutor of that case, Fani Willis, for an alleged conflict of interest, according to the decision signed by that court.

That order affects Trump and eight other defendants in this case and complicates the possibility that the process will take place before the presidential elections next November, in which he is expected to face the US president, Democrat Joe Biden.

Trump, who is accused of interfering in Georgia in the vote counting in the 2020 elections, where he lost to Biden, got the Georgia Court of Appeal to agree to examine his request to disqualify Willis on May 8.

The prosecutor is in the spotlight because of the relationship she had with a subordinate: the special prosecutor Nathan Wade, something that according to the complainants created a conflict of interest that vitiated the process.

Of the four criminal trials opened against Trump, the only one that has already taken place is the one launched in New York for forgerying commercial records to buy the silence in 2016 about a relationship he had with the porn actress Stormy Daniels. The jury found him guilty last week and the sentence will be announced on July 11.

In Washington he has another open for electoral interference, while in Florida he is accused of taking classified documents from the White House when leaving power, which he kept in his mansion in Mar-a-Lago. Neither of those two processes has a start date set.

Trump claims he’s the only one who can prevent World War III

Former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claimed on Saturday that he is “the only one who can prevent World War III,” during a political rally in Wisconsin, one of the swing states where the 2024 November presidential elections could be decided.

Trump outlined the geopolitical implications of his victory: on one hand, he reiterated his stance that “I will fix the Ukraine situation,” without providing details, and on the other hand, he warned that a victory by his opponent, Vice President and Democratic contender Kamala Harris, would mean the end of the State of Israel.

“If I don’t win this election, Israel, with Comrade Kamala Harris at the helm of the United States, is doomed. Israel will disappear in a year or two and will cease to exist. You better hope I win, or you’re going to face problems like never before,” he explained.

Trump has stated on numerous occasions, and repeated today, that if he had been in charge, neither the war in Ukraine nor the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent war would have occurred. He also claimed that he had predicted both conflicts.

He concluded: “Trump is always right. I hate being right, but I always am,” adding that he had also foreseen the rampant inflation and immigration problems currently facing the country.

The Republican candidate’s rally focused on his usual themes: security, immigration threats, the cost of living, and the decline of U.S. global influence. However, the loudest applause in Wisconsin came when he promised to eliminate transgender policies, especially in schools.

On Tuesday, Trump will face off against his rival Kamala Harris in a presidential debate on ABC, which is expected to be crucial in swaying many undecided voters. Interestingly, the candidate made almost no mention of the upcoming debate during his rally.

Jair Bolsonaro calls for action against “dictator” judge de Moraes over social media ban

Bolsonaro returns to Brazil after spending three months in Florida

Former President Jair Bolsonaro once again demonstrated his mobilization power and intensified his rhetoric against Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes during a massive street rally in São Paulo, where he called for the impeachment of the magistrate, labeling him a “dictator” for his decision to block the social media platform X in Brazil.

“We need to put a stop to those who overstep the limits of the Constitution. I hope the Federal Senate puts an end to Moraes, this dictator who is harming the country more than [Luiz Inácio] Lula da Silva,” Bolsonaro said, acting as the main speaker at the event that drew a large crowd on Avenida Paulista.

The rally, which featured speeches from key figures of Bolsonaro’s movement and support from magnate Elon Musk, the owner of X, had already been planned before Moraes’ decision on September 30 to block the social media platform in the country after X’s non-compliance with court orders.

Bolsonaro is also under scrutiny from the Supreme Federal Court (STF), particularly by Moraes, who is leading investigations that could have serious legal consequences for him, including prosecution for the attempted coup on January 8, 2023.

The former Brazilian president questioned the judge’s conduct during the 2022 elections, accusing him of favoring Lula. He also reiterated a call for Congress to grant amnesty to the “political prisoners” detained for their involvement in the attempted coup in Brasília.

“That was never a coup, and we are seeing people being judged as if they were an armed group trying to overthrow our democratic state. I regret the situation of these prisoners,” Bolsonaro said, urging amnesty for those detained.
