WATCH: Trump Lawyer Alina Habba Torches Letitia James in Courthouse Broadside.

Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba blasted partisan New York Attorney General Letitia James over her farcical claims that Trump purposefully overvalued his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida as collateral for loans used in his New York businesses.

“I think you guys need to understand something. Banks hire appraisers…. you are an individual, you go to get something appraised. You say my house is worth X. The bank doesn’t take your word for it. They hire people like that gentleman [an appraiser] to go do their own values,” Habba told the press outside the courtroom. “Now those values are going to be lower than the ones that the homeowner or the commercial real estate owner would use. It is very basic.”

If you take Trump Tower and you take the Trump name off of that building and you put Letitia James’s name on that building.

– Alina Habba, October 2023.

Habba turned her attention to James, stating: “That’s not what this case is about. It has nothing to do with this. Because the statement of financial condition was actually low. The statement of financial condition didn’t include Trump’s ‘brand’… If you take Trump Tower and you take the Trump name off of that building and you put Letitia James’s name on that building, it will not be what it is worth when Donald Trump owns it.”

WATCH:

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron previously ruled that Trump had far-over estimated the value of his Mar-a-Lago property, citing the tax assessed value as only being $18 million. Real estate experts have estimated the property to be worth between $200 million and $750 million – far above the amount decided by Judge Engoron.

3 French Airports Evacuated Following Similar Security Alerts at Louvre & Versailles.

Airports in the French cities of Lyon, Toulouse, and Lille have been evacuated in the latest string of security alerts in the “multicultural” nation since a Hamas terror raid on Israel.

The Palace of Versailles, once the seat of the French royal family, was evacuated “for security reasons” on Wednesday – the third such incident since the weekend. The Louvre Museum, home to iconic artworks including Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, was also evacuated Saturday.

France has been on high alert since the ongoing clash between Israel and jihadist groups including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Middle East heightened tensions Western Europe, where Muslims have turned out in large numbers to support the Palestinians.

A Chechen refugee on the country’s national watch list stabbed a teacher to death just days ago while shouting “Allah hu Akbar” – although the incident was yet to be definitively linked to events in Israel as of the time of publication.

France, home to Europe’s largest Muslim population, has been targeted by more radical Islamic terror attacks than any other country on the continent in recent years, with the deadliest being the 2015 attacks which saw 131 people massacred at the Bataclan theater and elsewhere in Paris.

Soft-on-Crime Soros Judge Carjacked in New Orleans.

Jason Williams, a George Soros-backed Louisiana District Attorney (DA), elected after promising social justice and bail reforms, has been carjacked at gunpoint alongside his elderly mother in New Orleans.

Two men approached Williams and his 78-year-old mother bearing “high-powered automatic weapons” on Monday evening before taking the DA’s car and personal possessions. However, the suspects were unable to get far, and the vehicle was recovered later in the evening by the police.

“I think it’s important to reiterate that my mother and I are just a small fraction of the number of people impacted by violence in this city,” Williams said after the incident. “We have to collectively work on crime-prevention efforts, policing efforts and our prosecution efforts,” he added.

Williams – whose election campaign received $220,000 from George Soros –pledged to find “alternatives to incarceration” and to change what he called the “ineffective and unfair money bail system” during his 2020 election campaign.

Once elected, he introduced further reforms such as removing obstacles to parole – including for those sentenced to life without the possibility of parole – dismissing nearly 1,000 of the city’s 1,411 felony cases within his first few months of office.

Yet, since being in office, crime has skyrocketed in New Orleans, with the carjacking rate alone rising by nearly triple what it was compared to 2019. It is also the official “Murder Capital” of the United States, boasting 52 homicides for every 100,000 – far outdoing St. Louis’ 45 per 100,000.

VIDEO: Muslim Rioters Leave 20 Cops Injured in Berlin.

Around 20 police officers have been injured following a night of violent Muslim-led rioting across the German capital of Berlin on Tuesday, which also saw one of the city’s main synagogues firebombed.

The city’s authorities were forced to deploy water canons and police dogs in an effort to disperse the crowds after they began hurling stones and pyrotechnics at the police while others set fire to barricades. Police officers were also deployed to protect the German memorial to the Holocaust as well as the Brandenburg Gate.

Two people also threw Molotov cocktails at a Berlin synagogue in the early hours of Wednesday morning before covering their faces and fleeing the scene. While police investigated the incident several hours later, another man charged at the synagogue, shouting “anti-Israeli slogans” before being apprehended.

The violence is understood to have begun following false reports that Israel killed least 500 people were killed due to an explosion at the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City earlier in the evening. It now looks increasingly like the bombing was an errant Islamic Jihad rocket attack.

“We are experiencing the effects of a religious war on the streets of the capital, in which our emergency services are becoming targets of religious fanaticism,” stated Berlin’s chief of police, Stephan Weh, on Wednesday morning.

“Above all, the families from the neighborhood around the synagogue are shocked and unsettled. Words become deeds. Hamas’ ideology of extermination against everything Jewish is also having an effect in Germany,” said the German Jewish Group, the Central Council of Jews.

Biden DOJ Pushes For Jan 6 Convicts to Get Even Longer Sentences.

Joe Biden’s Justice Department has filed appeals against the sentencing of Proud Boys handed terms of 15 to 22 years over January 6th, arguing they should be locked up for even longer.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who is approaching 40, was convicted on Civil War-era seditious conspiracy charges and sentenced to 22 years by U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, despite not actually being in the Capitol on Jan 6. Biden’s Justice Department, which asked for 33 years, insists this isn’t enough.

Prosecutors also requested a sentence of 33 years for Joseph Biggs, 30 years for Zachary Rehl, and 27 years for Ethan Nordean. All received long terms of 17, 15, and 18 years, respectively. Ghis has not satisfied the Justice Department, and their sentences are also being appealed.

Defense attorneys have branded the Biden regime’s efforts to increase the sentences “ridiculous,” and expressed confidence their own planned appeals to quash their clients’ convictions will prevail.

WATCH: Drag-Loving ASU Prof Lunges at Turning Point Activists, Then LIES About Attack.

Arizona State University (ASU) instructor and Drag Queen Story Hour organizer David Boyles, who claimed he was assaulted by Turning Point USA citizen journalists interrogating him on his efforts to foist graphic “sex education” on children, appears to have lied about key details of the incident.

In a lengthy Facebook post, Boyles had claimed he was “confronted by two right-wing fascists” on October 11th.

“One filmed on his phone while the other shouted horrible and incendiary things at me,” Boyles said, alleging he “moved to block the camera” and “the other one jumped me from behind, slamming me to the pavement and causing the injuries you see above.”

“They then ran off like the cowardly pieces of shit that they are,” he added.

CCTV footage shared by Turning Point USA boss Charlie Kirk, however, reveals Boyles’s account to be untrue, showing the professor lunging aggressively and persistently at the cameraman, making physical contact in what can only be described as an assault. Only at this point did the other man, TPUSA’s Kalen D’Almeida, push Boyles away from from his colleague. The pair do not flee the scene as Boyles claimed, either, with D’Almeida even appearing to offer a hand to help him back to his feet, while they continued recording.

“Our reporter used his constitutionally-protected speech to ask a taxpayer-funded employee some simple questions,” Kirk said, including “Why is he the Phoenix sponsor of Drag Queen Story Hour” and “Why is [he] publishing books about minors having sex with adults?”

Boyles, accused by D’Almeida of wanting to create a “different America” where “little boys are sodomized by people like you,” has previously published graphic book drafts detailing the sexual experiences of a 17-year-old minor who leaves his Christian family to “orbit” a highly sexual and “unapologetically queer” tutor.

FTX Skirted Campaign Finance Laws To Funnel Stolen Customer Funds to Democrats.

Executives at the bankrupt crypto-exchange and hedge fund FTX used employees as straw donors to funnel stolen customer money to Democrat political campaigns in 2022. The revelations come from testimony from Nishad Singh, the company’s director of engineering, at the trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried on Monday.

According to Singh, he acted as a straw donor under the direction of Ryan Salame, another FTX executive. Salame would access Singh’s bank account and direct funds to be sent to a political candidate. Singh would then approve the transaction after Salame notified him through an encrypted messaging app.

“My role was to click a button,” he told the court.

Singh, FTX’s second biggest political donor, handled contributions to Democrats, contributing $418,500 to left-wing candidates and committees – including a $36,500 contribution to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Since 2020, Singh has contributed just under $10 million – mostly to Democrats.

Singh’s donations to Democrat candidates, however, weren’t coming out of his own pocket. “It was useful for my name to be associated with some donations, even if the end recipient understood they were really coming from something else,” Singh testified. Instead, Singh’s bank account received regular deposits from Alameda Research – FTX’s ‘in house’ trading firm. The money Alameda deposited came directly from customer accounts with FTX.

FTX executive Ryan Salame has already pled guilty for his roll in the campaign finance scheme.

Poll Data Reveals RFK’s Run Will Steal Election from Trump.

An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist National poll shows third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. helping secure an easy victory for President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump in a 2024 showdown. Since Kennedy announced his departure from the Democratic race to run as an independent, speculation has emerged about whom he would impact more negatively: Trump or Biden.

The poll suggests if Kennedy were to be factored into the election, Biden would emerge the winner with a seven point lead over Trump. The current poll results show Biden with 44 percent of the vote, followed by Trump with 37 percent, and Kennedy with 16 percent. Three percent remain undecided.

“Although it’s always tricky to assess the impact of a third-party candidate, right now Kennedy alters the equation in Biden’s favor.”

– Lee M. Miringoff, Director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion

Among party preferences, the poll indicates Biden loses five percentage points among Democrats, while Trump loses ten points among Republicans when Kennedy is included on the ballot. Despite being criticized by his own family, Kennedy’s presence in the election might be beneficial to Democrats, with a notable one in six voters expressing a desire for an alternative option, particularly amongst independents.

The survey was conducted on October 11 among 1,313 American adults.

British Cop Raped at Knifepoint Under Eiffel Tower.

A 23-year-old British policewoman has been raped at knifepoint in Paris, France, at the base of the city’s iconic Eiffel Tower.

The young woman, visiting the socialist-run city with a friend, was reportedly relieving herself behind a bush when the attacker pounced. He pulled the knife on her when she attempted to resist, and fled the scene after completing his attack.

He was found and arrested roughly an hour later, however, with the authorities describing him as “unbalanced”.

Despite its status as the home of France’s best-known landmark, the Champ-de-Mars where the Eiffel Tower is based has long been a haunt of dangerous criminals. Three Algerians were arrested for gang-raping a French woman in the park in July, and two Brazilian sisters were attacked in February.

Reports in both the British and French press avoided offering any physical description of the man who attacked the British policewoman, nor information on his nationality and background, describing him only as a 35-year-old.

Alec Baldwin May Be Charged AGAIN for ‘Rust’ Shooting.

New Mexico prosecutors have announced plans to recharge actor Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter over a fatal shooting on the set of the film Rust in October 2021. The charges against Baldwin were previously dismissed in April, but “additional facts” have now emerged, leading the prosecutors to pursue the case before a grand jury next month.

“After extensive investigation over the past several months, additional facts have come to light,” said Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis, the special prosecutors who have been leading the investigation.

“We believe the appropriate course of action is to permit a panel of New Mexico citizens to determine from here whether Mr Baldwin should be held over for criminal trial,” they added.

Baldwin’s lawyers have criticized the investigation as “misguided” and stated they will answer any charges in court.

Charges were dropped earlier this year after it was revealed the gun used in the shooting had been modified with a new trigger, potentially increasing the chances of a misfire, but prosecutors had the weapon forensically tested and replaced certain parts. Ballistics and forensics experts from Arizona and New Mexico concluded that the gun could not have been fired without the trigger being pulled.
