US reimposes oil sanctions on Venezuela after broken election promises : Biden administration says Maduro has ‘fallen short’ on pledge of free and fair ...

Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector

The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.

The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'

While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.

Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

Noncitizen voting isn't an issue in federal elections, regardless of conspiracy theories. Here's why

Quick Glance: Trump's Favorite Theme: Dishonest 'Noncitizen Voting'

House Speaker Mike Johnson's 'election security' event at Mar-a-Lago will focus on legislation targeting noncitizen voting.

Despite existing bans and rare noncitizen votes, the debate aims to boost Trump's presidential candidacy.

Laws from 1996 prohibit noncitizen voting in federal and state elections, yet some municipalities in some states allow it.

Trump and allies falsely claim noncitizens vote in elections, while data shows minimal incidents. The debate serves as a political maneuver and distracts from actual election issues.

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.

New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu stated his backing for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, despite acknowledging Trump's role in the Capitol insurrection of January 6, 2021.

Sununu emphasized that his support for Trump is more about the Republican administration and values rather than the individual candidate, expressing that a significant percentage of Americans favor Trump's return to the presidency.

Addressing the possibility of Trump facing legal challenges, Sununu highlighted the preference for focusing on substantial issues over legal matters in the Republican Party, accepting Trump as a symbol of the desired cultural change within the party.

When questioned about his personal stance on Trump, Sununu reiterated his alignment with the majority of Americans who continue to support Trump's presidential candidacy despite concerns over his past actions and potential legal issues.

Quick Glance: Biden Leads Trump by 4 Points in Reuters/Ipsos Poll

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that U.S. President Joe Biden has widened his lead over Donald Trump as the Republican candidate gears up for the first of four upcoming criminal trials.

In the survey, 41% of registered voters stated they would vote for Biden, a Democrat, compared to 37% who chose former President Trump. This 4-point lead was an increase from the 1-point lead Biden had in a Reuters/Ipsos poll in March.

The poll has a 4% margin of error for registered voters, and many voters remain undecided seven months before the election.

While nationwide surveys are crucial indicators of American support for political candidates, only a few competitive states typically sway the balance in the U.S. electoral college, which ultimately determines the winner of a presidential election.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Quick Glance: OAN and Smartmatic Reach Settlement in Defamation Lawsuit

Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to a confidential settlement of a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet's lies about the 2020 presidential elections.

The settlement followed a lawsuit filed by Smartmatic against OAN in 2021, alleging that the right-wing conspiracy network 'victimized' the company and spread lies about its role in the 2020 elections to boost viewership and revenue.

OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.

While the Smartmatic case has concluded, OAN still faces another defamation lawsuit from Dominion regarding the dissemination of falsehoods about the 2020 elections.

Justices question obstruction charge against Jan. 6 rioter in case that could affect Trump

nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-weighs-jan-6-rioters-obstruction-challenge-affect-trumps-rcna147841

Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter

The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.

During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.

The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.

Quick Glance: Trump faces Legal Setbacks Over Dismissal Calls

Donald Trump suffered two legal setbacks on Thursday as judges rejected his requests to dismiss criminal charges related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 loss in Georgia and holding classified records after leaving office.

An ally of the Republican presidential candidate, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, also faced potential disbarment after violating attorney ethics rules in trying to help overturn Trump's loss.

These cases are among the legal entanglements Trump faces as he challenges President Joe Biden in the upcoming election, with the first-ever trial of a sitting or former U.S. president set to start on April 15 in New York.

Trump's argument justifying his retention of highly sensitive documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida post-presidency was rejected, with prosecutors arguing that the documents related to military and intelligence matters could not be considered personal.

Quick Glance: Ekrem İmamoğlu: The Istanbul Mayor in Confrontation with Erdoğan

Imamoğlu's victory in the local elections marks a pivotal moment for Turkey's opposition. Despite Erdogan's efforts to reclaim Istanbul, Imamoğlu stood his ground, becoming Erdogan's arch-rival and a potential future presidential candidate.

Imamoğlu's broad appeal enabled him to defeat Murat Kurum, Erdogan's AKP candidate, by a 12-percentage point margin. His winning streak reflected CHP victories nationwide, with Istanbul being a key focal point.

Imamoğlu's diverse background has helped him reach a wide base. His social democratic ideology, combining free-market principles with state support, is a central aspect of his political identity.

Despite increasing pressure from Erdogan through legal challenges and political maneuvers, Imamoğlu remains a standout politician, having been the only one to repeatedly beat Erdogan and potentially shaping the future of Turkey.

The office of special counsel Jack Smith has filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to reject former President Donald Trump's appeal claiming immunity from prosecution in his 2020 election subversion case.

Smith argues that Trump's immunity theory lacks historical precedent, contradicting the founders' vision of the country.

The special counsel accuses Trump of suggesting presidents should be immune from prosecution for all criminal acts while in office, freeing them from crimes like bribery and murder.

The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on April 25, allowing Trump's team to respond to Smith's arguments in their upcoming brief.

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.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign expects $50 million haul at fundraiser

Former President Trump is expected to rake in approximately $50 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday night, under the leadership of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson. This amount would double what three Democratic presidents recently raised for President Biden’s reelection campaign war chest.

The expected sum would double the amount raised by Biden's campaign at a fundraiser in New York City last week.

The event will help support Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), his Save America PAC, and state GOP parties under their joint fundraising agreement.

Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.

Quick Glance: Jack Smith Urges Supreme Court to Reject Trump's Immunity Claim

Special counsel Jack Smith pushed the Supreme Court in a court filing ahead of the April 25 arguments to reject former President Donald Trump's stance that he should be given absolute immunity in the federal election interference case.

Outlined in the 66-page filing were a series of arguments by Smith and his team against Trump's assertion that a president is shielded from criminal prosecution.

Prosecutors contended that there are no presidential authorities that would grant Trump immunity in this instance, and historical evidence discredits Trump's assertions.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith in 2022 to probe Trump's alleged involvement in disputing the 2020 presidential election results. The Supreme Court is scheduled to conduct oral arguments on Trump's immunity argument on April 25.

Despite winning the mayoral election in Großschirma with 59.4% of the votes, Dr. Rolf Weigand cannot take office due to a missing signature.

The Municipal Supervisory Authority of Mittelsachsen declared the election invalid due to three identified errors, with the absence of the candidate's signature being deemed crucial.

Quick Glance: RFK Jr. Consultant Terminated for Comments on Removing Biden

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign has ended its contract with a consultant who urged people to vote for him to 'get rid of Biden', even if it means electing Donald Trump.

Campaign manager Amaryllis Fox announced the decision in response to a supporter's request to distance the campaign from consultant Rita Palma.

Palma misrepresented her role in the campaign, leading to an immediate termination of her contract, as stated by Fox.

The consultant falsely claimed to be the New York State Director of the campaign at an event unaffiliated with the campaign, resulting in her dismissal.
