With federal fraud trial looming, George Santos drops out of New York House race: The scandal-plagued former Republican congressman, ousted from his House seat ...

Quick Glance: George Santos ends independent bid for US House seat

Following his expulsion from Congress after a bipartisan vote on December 1, George Santos, a Republican representative from New York, is seen leaving the U.S. Capitol. On Tuesday, Santos announced his decision to withdraw his independent candidacy for New York's 1st Congressional District.

In order to prevent a split in the Republican ticket between himself and the incumbent Republican candidate, Nick LaLota, in case he secures the Republican nomination after the New York primary on June 25, Santos opted out of an independent run, as reported by Politico.

Nancy Goroff and John Avlon are currently competing for the Democratic nomination for the congressional seat during the New York primary.

Despite concluding his independent candidacy, Santos hinted at a possible future congressional run. He expressed, 'The future holds countless possibilities, and I am prepared, eager, and capable to step up and fight for my country at any time.'

Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial

The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

GOP official who claimed 2020 election was stolen voted illegally 9 times, judge rules

Quick Glance: Trump Attorney Challenges Georgia Charges

Former President Trump's attorneys argued that the charges in Georgia target core political speech and urged the judge to dismiss them under the First Amendment before the trial.

Trump contested the November 2020 election results, alleging fraud, and faces accusations of attempting to subvert Georgia's election results to stay in power.

Trump, along with allies, faces 10 charges in Georgia related to the election, with his attorney pressing a First Amendment defense while other defendants like David Shafer also challenge their charges.

McAfee presided over the hearing, where various legal arguments were presented, including challenges to the indictment's language regarding Shafer's involvement in sending alternate electors and Trump's alleged false votes.

The resolution of the case marks a significant legal and political victory for Paxton, allowing him to retain his elected position and legal license despite ongoing legal challenges.

Despite facing a federal investigation and other legal battles, Paxton has maintained strong political support within the GOP, including from former President Donald Trump, showcasing his resilience amidst adversity.

Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory

Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.

Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.

The leftwing alliance narrowly missed the 200-seat mark that would have allowed them to bypass a presidential veto. Yoon now faces over three years as a lame duck, while the country heads towards more than three years of stagnation.

The Republican National Committee launched a website aimed at criticizing President Biden's border policies.

BidenBloodbath.com provides a timeline of the 'border crisis,' attributing it to Biden's policies and offering 'real-time messaging' to activists.

The website also tries to link allegations of crimes committed by individuals who entered battleground states illegally with various data points on fentanyl deaths.

While the immigration discourse may fuel distrust, generalizations about immigrants committing violent crimes are often false.

Quick Glance: Senator Bob Menendez Opts Out of N.J. Democratic Primary, Considers Independent Run

Senator Bob Menendez will not be a candidate in the New Jersey Democratic primary, but is considering running as an independent in November.

Following new obstruction of justice charges brought by federal prosecutors against Menendez and his wife Nadine Arslanian, he announced his hope for exoneration this summer to pursue candidacy as an independent Democrat.

Despite facing accusations, Menendez has maintained his innocence and resisted calls for resignation. This announcement marks the first clear indication of his potential reelection bid since being charged in September.

The race for Menendez’s seat is already underway with a heated competition between Tammy Murphy, the wife of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, and U.S. Representative Andy Kim from Burlington.

Quick Glance: Trump's $175M Bond and Property Seizure Case Overview

Former President Trump has secured a $175 million bond in his civil fraud case, keeping his most prized properties from being seized - at least temporarily.

Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump, his company, and top executives liable for fraud, ordering them to pay a penalty of $464 million plus interest, with Trump alone owing $454 million.

Despite the temporary halt, Trump still owes the state $454 million from the judgment, which increases daily, potentially leading him back into financial jeopardy.

An appeal could result in a significant financial setback for Trump, challenging the monumental fine and other penalties imposed in the case.
