WATCH: Trump Lawyer Habba Says ‘I Don’t Have High Hopes’ For NY’s Trump Org Trial.

Aliba Habba, representing Donald Trump and his business empire in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s civil fraud against them, says she does not have “high hopes” as she awaits Judge Arthur Engoron’s decision expected Friday morning.

“If I could file the appeal now, I would,” Habba said on Wednesday, warning there are “no surprises coming here.”

“I don’t have high hopes; I do believe that there is some ethics left. I hope that Judge Engoron sees through this, but… I’ve been on weeks and weeks and weeks of trial in New York, and the corruption runs deep; the Trump Derangement Syndrome frankly runs even deeper,” she added.

The lawsuit threatens a $370 million financial penalty and a permanent ban from New York real estate dealings. Judge Engoron, a Democrat donor whose “co-judge” law clerk, Allison Greenfield, has attended events endorsing AG James, a Democrat, and Joe Biden.

While AG James claims Trump defrauded banks by overvaluing his assets to secure loans, some of the valuations accepted by Engoron, such as valuing Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate at just $18 million, have been heavily criticized.

Habba has also contended all loans were paid back on time, so there is no actual victim in the case.

America, Prepare for Recession.

Citi’s chief economist, Andrew Hollenhorst, has forecasted a recession in mid-2024 for the U.S. economy. In a recent interview with CNBC, Hollenhorst highlighted elements in recent economic data that suggest an impending downturn. Despite apparent low unemployment, stronger consumer spending, and GDP growth, Hollenhorst warns that there are indications of economic instability beneath the surface.

“There’s this very powerful and seductive narrative around a soft landing and we’re just not seeing it in the data,” said Hollenhorst. 

One key area of vulnerability is the labor market. Although January’s jobs report showed 353,000 ‘new’ jobs added to the economy, the number of hours worked actually declined, as did the number of full-time workers. Moreover, certain sectors, like the restaurant industry, did not see any job growth at all.

“That’s the key to the economy — what happens in the labor market,” Hollenhorst said. “If the unemployment rate stays low, people continue to spend, the economy holds up. But if that unemployment rate starts rising, which we think it will … that’s the sign that we’re going to have a more material decline in the US economy.”

Hollenhorts also pointed to rising credit card delinquencies as another indicator of impending recession.

“There may be some consumers out there with excess savings, but those consumers exposed to floating credit card debt with higher rates now, that have been pulling on those excess savings to continue to consume, continue to spend, now those delinquencies are picking up,” he said.

The state of the economy is set to be a key factor in the 2024 presidential election. Despite the Biden regime trying to take credit for GDP growth and rising jobs numbers, there is overwhelming evidence that Bidenomics has failed, and the majority of Americans have lost faith in Biden’s ability to manage the economy.

200-Year-Old Portrait of George Washington Stolen.

Authorities in Englewood, Colorado, reported on Tuesday that a 19th-century painting of George Washington was stolen from a local storage unit last month. According to the Englewood Police Department, the theft likely occurred overnight on January 10 during a break-in but was not immediately discovered. Authorities are offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the portrait’s return.

The stolen portrait was painted in the early 1800s. The piece measures 24 inches by 30 inches and is framed in gold. “It’s not often that we have historical artifacts or historical art pieces stolen from this city,” said Crystal Essman of the Englewood Police Department. The painting’s financial value remains undisclosed, with authorities citing difficulties in estimating such value due to its historical significance.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined forces with local law enforcement in an effort to locate the missing artwork. The public is encouraged to report any information regarding the theft to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.

New York City is FULL, Declares Mayor Eric Adams.

New York City is “out of room” for migrants, claims Democrat Mayor Eric Adams, once a proponent of so-called “sanctuary cities” in America. Joe Biden’s unchecked flow of illegal immigrants has the city on the brink of crisis, Adams alleged in a recent interview with FOX5 NY’s Rosanna Scotto.

Adams said that while New York City is a city of immigrants and has a rich history representing the same, the current scale of migration is both unfair and unsustainable for the city and its inhabitants. He emphasized that if current immigration rates do not decline, overcrowding in the city will hit crisis levels.

“We’re not just saying we’re out of room as a soundbite,” he said. “We’re out of room, literally. People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets.”

“I cannot break the law and enforce the law… I can’t report to ICE for deportation,” he said, taking aim at the city’s ‘right-to-shelter’ law, asserting it was not initially intended for illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.

Adams’s administration is locked in multiple legal battles over the enforcement of the right-to-shelter law. He has been vocal about the impact of the ongoing migration crisis on his city, previously asserting last September that if left unchecked, this crisis could “destroy New York City.” His administration insists it is continuing efforts to find effective ways to respond to and manage the growing crisis fueled by President Joe Biden’s open border policies.

Biden’s DOJ is Trying to Hide Who Works for Jack Smith.

The Department of Justice (DOJ), headed by Merrick Garland, has petitioned a federal court to keep the identities of key staff working with Special Counsel Jack Smith secret, according to Judicial Watch.

In a thread posted on X (formerly Twitter), Judicial Watch stated that “The DOJ is asking a federal court to allow the agency to keep secret the names of top staffers working in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office that is targeting former President Donald Trump and other Americans.”

The DOJ’s move follows a rejected FOIA request made by Judicial Watch to the DOJ in 2022 seeking staff lists and other personnel information from Smith’s office. After the affidavit’s refusal, the outlet filed a lawsuit opposing the DOJ’s refusal to cooperate in May 2023.

Before the lawsuit, the DOJ confirmed the existence of the requested lists; however, it argued that “disclosing the more-than-one-year-old rosters could reasonably be expected to interfere” with the Special Counsel’s work, according to Judicial Watch.

Judicial Watch disputed the DOJ’s argument in their filing, describing it as “little more than speculation” and asserting it lacks substantial evidence. They pointed out the availability of the names of at least 23 Special Counsel office staff from public avenues, arguing the release of this information has not impacted the functioning of the office.

U.S. Taxpayers Have Paid Almost $20M to Maintain Super Yacht Seized from Russian Oligarch.

The upkeep of a Russian oligarch’s super yacht seized by the United States government has cost American taxpayers almost $20 million. Belonging to Suleiman Kerimov, the $300 million super yacht was seized by the Department of Justice (DOJ) after the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned the Russian national as a suspected money launderer.

The Amadea, a 348-foot motor yacht, has cost the U.S. government around $600,000 a month to maintain. Payments to the crew cost roughly $360,000 a month, and fuel runs $75,000 a month. Other maintenance costs run an additional $165,000 a month. A $1.7 million annual insurance bill is also due this month. The mounting cost of upkeep has led the DOJ to ask a federal judge for permission to auction the vessel.

Kerimov’s super yacht was seized in April of 2022 while docked in the Pacific island nation of Fiji. Local Fijian law enforcement, coordinating with the FBI, took control of the vessel after the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia “…found that the Amadea [was] subject to forfeiture based on probable cause of violations of U.S. law.”

In addition to seizing the yacht, OFAC also blocked $1 billion controlled by the Delaware-based Heritage Trust, in which Kerimov has a controlling interest. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, the Russian oligarch used Heritage Trust as a conduit to launder funds into the United States. With those funds, Kerimov “invested in large public and private U.S. companies and managed by a series of U.S. investment firms and facilitators.”

Epstein Victims Sue Feds.

A group of anonymous individuals who claim to have fallen victim to Jeffrey Epstein launched a lawsuit against the government on Wednesday. The individuals assert that the FBI was given trustworthy tips linked to Epstein’s criminal activities dating back to 1996 but failed to thoroughly investigate until 2006. The plaintiffs further argue that the FBI continued to ignore substantial leads until Epstein’s arrest in 2019, thus enabling alleged sex trafficking, abuse, and torture of the victims due to the Bureau’s negligence.

“As a direct and proximate cause of the FBI’s negligence, plaintiffs would not have been continued to be sex trafficked, abused, raped, tortured and threatened,” the lawsuit reads. “Jane Does 1-12 bring this lawsuit to get to the bottom — once and for all — of the FBI’s role in Epstein’s criminal sex trafficking ring.”

According to the victims, the FBI did not merely disregard tips but permitted the continuation of Epstein’s victimization of young women, including Jane Does 1-12, throughout the investigation. They allege that the FBI had concrete evidence such as photos, videos, and personal testimonies — all attesting to child prostitution — but deviated from their standard protocols by failing to investigate and arrest Epstein promptly.

The plaintiffs seek an amount in damages to be determined at trial. Epstein, who was served an 18-month sentence in 2006 for soliciting prostitution, was arrested again in 2019. He died in prison sometime after his arrest — the circumstances of which are still the subject of intense public debate and speculation. The lawsuit comes on the heels of an unrelated court decision that disclosed documents from Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’s civil suit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former associate.

‘No Doubt’ — Fani Willis’s Friend Confirms Her Romantic Relationship With Georgia Trump Prosecutor.

Robin Yeartie — a former friend and employee of Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis — confirmed that Willis had carried on a romantic relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade and that the two lied in court documents about when the relationship began. Yeartie took the stand as a witness in today’s hearing as to whether Willis’s failure to disclose an ongoing affair with Wade disqualifies her from the Georgia RICO prosecution of former President Donald Trump and about a dozen others for allegedly interfering in the 2020 presidential election.

When asked if the relationship between Willis and Wade began their relationship in late 2019, Yeartie told the court: “No doubt.”

Attorneys for the State attempted to block testimony from several key witnesses, but Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee denied their objections. The State, representing Wade and Willis, hoped to quash subpoenas compelling testimony from Yeartie and Nathan Wade himself. Judge McAfee rejected both motions to quash.

Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney for Trump’s codefendant Michael Roman, walked Yeartie through the timeline of events during her time working under District Attorney Willis. The former friend and employee of Willis confidently told Merchant that, contrary to legal filings, the District Attorney began a romantic relationship with Wade well before the 2022 date the two claimed.

Yeartie testified that she has known Willis since college and eventually took a job in the District Attorney’s office. Shortly before the affair between Willis and Wade began, Yeartie testified she transferred her condo lease to Willis for a more private living arrangement. Before the lease transfer, Willis had lived with her father.

Soros Seeks Control of Second Largest U.S. Radio Chain in America.

Recent court filings have revealed that billionaire globalist George Soros is moving to buy substantial amounts of debt to gain a controlling interest in Audacy, America’s second-largest radio broadcaster. The filings suggest Soros Fund Management aims to purchase approximately $400 million in debt from Audacy, which operates well-known stations such as New York’s WFAN and 1010 WINS, Los Angeles-based KROQ, and a nationwide network of over 220 stations. Outside observers speculate that Soros’s acquisition could be an attempt to impact public opinion in time for the 2024 election.

A successful takeover would give Soros a 40 percent stake in the financially distressed company’s senior debt. This sizable stake could grant him significant control over the company as it resurfaces from bankruptcy. Audacy is currently under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan, and existing shareholders are expected to forfeit their investments. High-ranking creditors like Soros, however, would be compensated with stock in the restructured entity.

Audacy, grappling with $1.9 billion in debt, has publicly acknowledged Soros’s investment. The broadcasting company expressed optimism about the deal, stating, “The decision by our existing and new debtholders to become equity holders in Audacy represents a significant vote of confidence in our company and the future of the radio and audio business.” The company aims to finalize its bankruptcy court case in less than two months.

RFK Campaign Suffers Staff Walkouts Amidst ‘Lavish Spending’ Allegations.

In January, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign lost 14 staffers, including 12 field staff and two central campaign staff members. The resignations were prompted by concerns over leadership’s “lavish spending” and “self-serving” behavior, attributed chiefly to campaign manager Amaryllis Fox Kennedy — RFK’s daughter-in-law — and campaign communications director Del Bigtree.

The campaign reportedly paid Bigtree’s KFP Consulting firm $35,000 in December, while LLCs registered to campaign COO Matthew Sanders and campaign adviser Charles Eisenstein make $21,000 and $21,667 a month, respectively.

“When the reports came out and everyone saw the obscene amount of money some people are making, while they are often paying for their own promotional materials out of pocket and can’t get their gas stipend covered, many people started thinking those people are scamming and skimming to line their pockets,” said one source working for the campaign.

“Del is running around spending money lavishly,” said another, alleging Bigtree is “doing Zoom calls from the slopes with champagne while many people are volunteers and not getting paid.”

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is already investigating possibly illegal payments to Amaryllis Fox Kennedy — formerly of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) — amounting to $70,000.

RFK controversially spent $7 million on a Super Bowl ad centered on his assassinated uncle, President John F. Kennedy.
