Last week we all witnessed the shocking verdict that resulted in President Trump being convicted on 34 counts. And today we look at another ongoing attempt to weaponize the justice system against the former President.
The far Left, upset that Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon is overseeing Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case against President Trump, tried to have her removed. However, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed this “orchestrated campaign” to oust Judge Cannon, and she will remain in place.
Chief Judge William Pryor of the 11th Circuit delivered a forceful response to the far Left’s effort to get rid of Judge Cannon:
“Many of the complaints” against Cannon filed with the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals “request that the Chief Circuit Judge remove her from the classified-documents case and reassign the case to a different judge,” Chief Judge William Pryor wrote in a May 22 order posted on the appeal court’s website.
And “many of the complaints against Judge Cannon also question the correctness of her rulings or her delays in issuing rulings in the case,” Pryor wrote.
Those complaints filed since May 16 “appear to be part of an orchestrated campaign,” according to Pryor, whose appellate court reviews cases arising from federal district courts in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. . . .
Pryor, in his May 22 order about the complaints, wrote that he “has considered and dismissed four of those orchestrated complaints as merits-related and as based on allegations lacking sufficient evidence to raise an inference that misconduct has occurred.”
First, let’s quickly recap how we got to where we are in Trump’s classified documents case. Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4) launched an investigation into Smith’s classified documents case after Smith ironically admitted to mishandling Trump’s classified documents. Smith’s admission forced Judge Cannon to postpone the case indefinitely – much to the ire of the Left.
And then fireworks went off in a recent hearing in Florida after Trump’s defense team accused Smith’s team of witness tampering. Needless to say, this case has “myriad . . . issues” – as Judge Cannon announced.

After her shocking testimony before Congress yesterday, U.S. Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle has resigned. Will we get answers about the massive security failure that almost resulted in President Donald Trump losing his life? The Sekulow team discusses the USSS director’s resignation, Vice President Kamala Harris securing enough delegates to be the 2024 presidential nominee, the ACLJ’s legal work – and much more.
Apparently, the Secret Service had already increased its efforts to protect President Donald Trump after recent intelligence surfaced of an Iranian plot to assassinate the former President. So why was security so lax in Butler, Pennsylvania? The Sekulow team discusses the massive Secret Service failure, the Republican National Convention, Trump’s pick of Senator J.D. Vance as Vice President, other RNC news, a new ACLJ FOIA against the Biden Administration, the 2024 presidential election – and much more.
President Joe Biden isn’t planning on going anywhere, as more and more within the Democrat Party call for him not to run for reelection. He wrote a letter to Democrats in the House of Representatives calling for unity in the fight to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. The Sekulow team discusses Biden’s letter and the turmoil surrounding his White House campaign, the reaction to Biden’s interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, Judge Aileen Cannon’s latest move in Trump’s classified documents case, the ACLJ’s legal work – and much more.
Due to the U.S. Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling, Judge Juan Merchan delayed the sentencing in President Donald Trump’s New York trial until September 18. Will DA Alvin Bragg be forced to reopen the trial after much of his evidence included “official acts” from when Trump was President?
The delayed sentencing date is huge for two reasons. First, much of the far Left hoped that the attention would shift from President Biden’s poor debate performance to Trump’s original sentencing date of July 11. And as we said last week, it will not be good news for President Biden if the media is still talking about replacing him after the long Independence Day weekend.
Right now, the narrative isn’t shifting for Biden. Yesterday, the primary topic at White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s press conference was President Biden’s fitness for office. Also, an internal Democrat election poll was leaked that sounded the alarm for Biden’s reelection in swing states, and Trump is way ahead in fundraising now following the debate.
The second reason that the delayed sentencing is significant comes from Judge Juan Merchan’s letter regarding the delayed sentencing: “The Court’s decision will be rendered off-calendar on September 6, 2024, and the matter is adjourned to September 18, 2024, at 10:00 AM for the imposition of sentence, if such is still necessary, or other proceedings.”
Did you catch the important nugget: “if such is still necessary, or other proceedings”? In other words, the Supreme Court’s decision could derail Bragg’s case altogether. Within hours of the Justices’ decision, Trump’s lawyers contested this issue, setting off the chain of events leading to the delayed sentencing – a lot of movement happened quickly.
Bragg had presented a broad case that ignored expired statutes of limitations and elevated what would have been a misdemeanor into 34 felony counts. Yet by going so broad, Bragg might have tanked his case completely by presenting evidence that would now be considered inadmissible.
Trump’s lawyers filed a brief to have the jury’s verdict vacated, and the other side will be filing a brief in response. Judge Merchan will review the briefs (which the caveat “if such is still necessary” refers to) before the sentencing date. The judge might not have a reason to sentence President Trump at all.
The Biden Administration has come out swinging against the recent videos of President Biden freezing up that are circulating online. The latest video to spark controversy was at the Hollywood fundraiser over the weekend. President Obama took Biden by the wrist and led the President offstage after he froze up and looked lost. Other recent footage includes Biden appearing confused at a D-Day ceremony, an early Juneteenth ceremony, and the G-7 summit.
At a press conference on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed the videos are “cheap fakes.” But are they?
Each of these hiccups occurred at a well-publicized Biden event. They weren’t secret, behind-closed-doors meetings. Everyone witnessed what happened to Biden on the public stage.
Yet instead of simply addressing the freeze-ups as the result of President Biden being an elderly man and that such occurrences are bound to happen, the Administration insists on gaslighting Americans. It wants to spin the narrative as a conspiracy by political opponents to make Biden look weak.
Playing off the term “deep fake,” which refers to AI-generated content, Biden’s handlers are saying the videos in question are manipulated and/or edited, calling them “cheap fakes.” And now the mainstream media is following the White House’s talking points about these videos being fake.
For example, on Sekulow, we played a clip of former White House Communications Director Nicolle Wallace commenting on the controversy, yet MSNBC didn’t show the full footage of Biden’s freezing up at the Hollywood event. Ironically, the real “cheap fakes” are coming from the mainstream media.
ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy Ric Grenell commented on the mainstream media’s attempt to cover up the truth about Biden’s mental state:
The propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, the media in America, is really in a dangerous situation. They are helping a regime – hook, line, and sinker. They always take the side of the Democrats. They push the Democratic messaging; they’ve lost their credibility. I can promise you that dictators around the world are looking at the control that the Democratic Party has over the media in America, and they’re jealous. Because with every single thing we see, we can watch a video, and the media says you’re not watching this the right way or it’s a fake. And so many in the media repeat that.
If you’ve read George Orwell’s 1984, you will be familiar with the famous line: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” In Orwell’s dystopian novel, the government controls all truth regardless of what the people have seen and heard for themselves. The Biden Administration is using the mainstream media to enact the same Orwellian tactics on the public. It is even using Orwellian Newspeak terms like “cheap fake.”
The White House will do its best to spin the truth about President Biden, but the American people can watch the videos and decide for themselves.

A former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas gave an MSNBC anchor a reality check when she suggested the court's recent ruling will bring back "segregated" restaurants.
