Former Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon, host of the War Room show, must report to jail by July 1 after losing his appeal in Washington, D.C., a judge ruled Thursday. He was sentenced to four months in prison in October 2022 for defying subpoenas from the Democrat-controlled January 6 Committee. However, the sentence was suspended pending legal appeals.
United States District Court Carl Nichols rejected a request by Bannon to stay his sentence while he attempts to push his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. In his ruling, Judge Nichols said that there is “no legal basis” for Bannon’s sentence to be delayed any further. The judge agreed with the contention made by federal prosecutors that “…there is no longer a ‘substantial question of law that is likely to result in a reversal or an order for a new trial.”
“We’re gonna win at the Supreme Court… there’s is not a jail built, not a prison built that can shut me up,” Bannon said in response to the ruling. Earlier this year, a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel rejected the former Trump advisor’s challenge to his conviction. However, he could still receive a hearing from the full court and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court.
The ruling by Judge Nichols is surprising, as he has been instrumental in the efforts of the January 6 Capitol riot defendants to oppose the Biden government’s use of Sarbanes-Oxley to enhance the charges against them. In April, the federal judge ruled in favor of early release for several of the January 6 defendants pending a ruling from the U.S Supreme Court on the matter—which is expected to be handed down this month.

A Cook County judge ruled that the Illinois State Board of Elections must remove former President Donald Trump’s name from the state’s March 19 primary ballot. Judge Tracie Porter – whose Facebook page describes herself as “unanimously appointed” – also appears to want Illinois voters to have an appointed, not elected, president.
Porter issued the order following a challenge by the far-left ‘Free Speech for People’ group, an astroturf organization funded by Soros groups, the Rockefeller Family Fund, the climate change lobby, and the Hamas-linked Tides Foundation.
In her 38-page statement, Porter argued that an election board decision to keep Trump on the ballot was “clearly erroneous” and that the Soros group’s request should have been accepted.
“Every court or official that has addressed the merits of Trump’s constitutional eligibility has found that he engaged in insurrection after taking the oath of office and is therefore disqualified from the presidency,” commented Ron Fein, legal director of Free Speech For People and co-lead counsel.
Trump’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, criticized the judgment, labeling it “an unconstitutional ruling” from “an activist Democrat judge in Illinois” and promised swift appeal measures. Judge Porter then placed her ruling on hold until Friday to allow time for appeal. She said she would rescind her order if the Supreme Court’s final decision contradicted hers.

In 2015, the judge now overseeing the Trump case in New York – Arthur Engoron – was inducted into the State Supreme Court of New York. A former cab driver, Engoron was appointed to the New York City Civil Court in 2003 and ran unopposed for State Supreme Court.
The judge, whose temper flared with former President Trump on the stand on Monday, exclusively thanked far-left, New York Democrat clubs for his ascent during the 2015 induction. One of the groups he mentioned was the Barack Obama Democratic Club, an upper-Manhattan far-left group that supported the election of Gabriela Rosa in 2012. In 2014 it was revealed Rosa bought a sham marriage for U.S. citizenship for just $8,000. She took a plea deal and received just 366 days in prison.
Another organization Engoron thanked is the Sojourner Truth Democratic Club, named for an abolitionist who also became the inspiration for the Sojourner Truth Organization – a communist group which gained traction in the 1960s.
Here’s the full list of them:
Alice Wragg Kornegay Democratic Club
Ansonia Independent Democrats
Arturo Schomburg Democratic Club
Audubon Reform Democrats
Barack Obama Democratic Club
Broadway Democrats
Chelsea Reform Democratic Club
Coalition for a District Alternative
Community Free Democrats
Concerned Democratic Coalition
Democrats In the Heights

Engoron’s staff are also closely linked with the far-left of New York City – a matter the judge imposed a gag order on Donald Trump for pointing out.

A federal appeals court has temporarily suspended the gag order issued in the partisan election subversion case against former President Donald Trump. The decision came Friday after Trump’s legal team submitted an emergency motion. The order, administered by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, dictates that the partial gag order issued by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan last month will be “administratively stayed pending further order of the court.” The initial order from Judge Chutkan, dated October 17, restricted all parties from making statements that could potentially target prosecutors, staff, or witnesses involved in the case.
The recent order from the appellate panel marks the second interruption of Chutkan’s gag order since its issuance.
The appellate panel noted in their two-page order that the purpose of the administrative stay is not a ruling on Trump’s emergency motion but instead allows necessary time to consider it. The panel has scheduled tightened proceedings on the emergency motion. Trump’s attorneys must file a statement by Nov. 8, after which prosecutors must respond by Nov. 14, to which a reply statement is due Nov. 17, proceeding oral arguments on Nov. 20. Trump, facing four federal felonies and accused of obstructing the 2020 presidential election, has denied all charges; his trial is to commence on March 4th.

A far-left, Democrat judge in New York has ruled that he knows more about the value of the business empire of former President Donald Trump than his banks, business partners, accountants, employees, and insurers. Judge Arthur Engoron, a life-long leftist lawyer, ruled Tuesday that Trump and his company deceived people, even though two-page disclaimers were included in financial statements to make clear such valuations were internal estimates.
The trial against Trump will continue in October, with New York AG Letitia James using her position to attempt to fine Trump $250 million explicitly to harm his election campaign, and indeed ban him from doing business in New York.
Judge Engoron’s ruling is likely to cause a shockwave across New York in general, with many firms now likely to review how they handle their financial estimates and information if the government alongside the far left judiciary is left in charge of interpreting their finances.
The ruling sets the stage for a non-jury trial beginning on October 2, in which Engoron will decide on remaining claims and any potential punishments.
Trump’s lawyers argue there was no evidence of public harm caused by Trump’s actions, and that some of the allegations were even barred by the statute of limitations. The leftist judge refused to throw out the case.
UPDATE: Trump himself had some harsh words on the subject, as posted to Truth Social on Tuesday evening:
“I have been unfairly sued by the Trump Hating Democrat Attorney General of New York State, Letitia James, over the false fact that I inflated my Financial Statements in order to borrow money from Banks, etc. The Judge in the case, Arthur F. Engoron, refused to allow this case to go to the “Commercial Division,” where it belongs, because he is a Trump Hater beyond even A.G. James, who campaigned against me spewing horrible inflammatory statements which are False & Defamatory. I am not even allowed a Jury!
“The facts of this case are simple:
1) I AM WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THE NUMBERS SHOWN ON MY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
2) I DIDN’T EVEN INCLUDE MY MOST VALUABLE ASSET, MY BRAND.
3) THE BANKS WERE PAID BACK IN FULL, SOMETIMES EARLY, THERE WERE NO DEFAULTS, THE BANKS MADE MONEY, WERE REPRESENTED BY THE BEST LAW FIRMS, & WERE VERY “HAPPY.” THERE WERE NO VICTIMS!
4) ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THERE IS A STRONG “DISCLAIMER CLAUSE” TELLING ALL NOT TO RELY ON THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE DISCLAIMER CLAUSE TELLS ANYONE REVIEWING THE DATA, INCLUDING FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, TO DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS – IT IS A NON RELIANCE CLAUSE, AND COULD NOT BE MORE CLEAR. ADDITIONALLY TO MY BEING WORTH FAR MORE THAN IS SHOWN IN THE “FULLY DISCLAIMED” FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, AGAIN NOT PUTTING DOWN A VALUE FOR MY BIGGEST ASSET, BRAND, THE COMPANY HAS HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CASH, AND VERY LITTLE DEBT.
It is a great company that has been slandered and maligned by this politically motivated Witch Hunt. It is very unfair, and I call for help from the highest Courts in New York State, or the Federal System, to intercede. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!”

Corporate media worked overtime Wednesday night to report threats received, via voicemail, by D.C. Trump judge Tanya Chutkan, including calling her a “slave n*gger,” and adding “you are in our sights, we want to kill you… If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, b****.”
What every single media outlet failed to report, however, is that the now charged Abigail Jo Shry has a sad record of arrests dating back to mid-2022, and a series of mugshots which clearly identify the same woman, but with varying ages, heights, and weights.
In August of last year, Shry was arrested for class ‘C’ assault, resisting arrest or transport, possession of drug paraphernalia, public intoxication, failure to maintain financial responsibility (no insurance), and having an open container. At this point she was listed as 5’9 and 150lbs. Shry was subsequently arrested on warrant a week later, with her age listed as 42, and her date of birth listed as the 23rd May 1980.
Then, in early September, Shry was arrested again, with her date of birth given as February 10th, 2003. At this point, she was listed as being 5’8 and 175lbs. She was charged with criminal mischief and resisting arrest. Shry was picked up a fourth time in July 2023, this time with a birthday of October 1st, 1981. Her charge in July was “terrorist threat,” but no specifics were given.
The newest criminal complaint alleges that Shry called the office of D.C. Judge Tanya Chutkan on August 5th, just a few weeks after her “terrorist threat” arrest, and left threatening messages about the judge and other Democrats in Washington, D.C.
According to the charging document, “On August 8, 2023, DHS Special Agents conducted a knock and talk at the residence of Abigail Jo SHRY in Alvin, Texas. During consensual questioning, SHRY admitted that the phone number (832) XXX-XXXX belongs to her and that she did in fact make the call to Judge Chutkan’s chambers. SHRY stated that she had no plans to travel to Washington, DC or Houston to carry out anything she stated, adding that if Sheila Jackson Lee comes to Alvin, then we need to worry.”

The judge presiding over the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump in Manhattan, Judge Juan M. Merchan, is refusing to recuse himself from the proceedings despite his political donations and family connections. The judge rejected all the arguments put forth by Trump’s legal team in a decision dated August 11th and released on Monday.
Merchan, who presided over the trial involving The Trump Organization last year as well as the case against Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon, donated to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign while his daughter currently works for a marketing firm which helps Democratic Party candidates and openly campaigned for Kamala Harris in 2020.
The trial in Manhattan is scheduled for March 2024, though Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg has indicated a willingness to change the date if requested by other prosecutors involved in cases against Trump.

Tanya Sue Chutkan, the US federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal case in Washington D.C., is an Obama appointee and donor, as well as an especially vocal Black Lives Matter (BLM) apologist who has now presided over many of the harshest over-sentences handed to Jan. 6 protestors. Chutkan, a 61-year-old born in Jamaica, also persistently tried to stymie the Trump administration between 2017 and 2021. Her husband Peter Krauthamer is also an Obama appointee.
Chutkan has prosecuted 38 people involved in the January 6th protests so far, with 19 sentences that “exceeded prosecutors’ recommendations.” Her rhetoric against the protestors was no less subdued. She argued:
“It has to be made clear that trying to violently overthrow the government, trying to stop the peaceful transition of power and assaulting law enforcement officers in that effort is going to be met with absolutely certain punishment.“
Chutkan has raged about the issue, claiming protesters, “soiled and defaced the halls of the Capitol and showed their contempt for the rule of law,” though her comments on Black Lives Matter were far more subdued. The D.C. judge called BLM rioters “people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights,” referring to the widespread chaos and destruction in the summer of 2020 as: “People gathered all over the country last year to protest the violent murder by the police of an unarmed man.”
In 2017, Chutkan issued a restraining order against the Trump admin policy of prohibiting migrants from leaving detention facilities for abortions. She ruled immigration officials are required to transport migrants “promptly and without delay… to an abortion provider, in order to obtain any pregnancy or abortion-related medical care.”
The Obama judge also tried to block scheduled executions of rapists and murderers on death row, bizarrely arguing that allowing the executions would deprive the inmates of their ability to pursue challenges in the court.

The attorney who advised Donald Trump on his options challenging the outcome of the 2020 election, Dr. John Eastman, has been denied the right to call expert witnesses questioning the reliability of voting machines in the State Bar Court of California, where he faces disbarment in a clearly partisan hearing.
Prosecutors, on the other hand, have been allowed to call witnesses praising the supposed reliability of voting machines, causing Eastman’s lawyers to protest the judicial bias. The news comes less than a week after the explosive Halderman Report was released, detailing how voting machines are inherently dangerous and present endless, easily exploitable security flaws.
Randy Miller, representing Dr. Eastman, argued Judge Yvette Roland’s moves represented “distinct prejudice,” allowing only “half the story” to be told. The State Bar Council said their evidence should be admitted while Eastman’s should not “because ours is from the government.”
The State Bar’s main charge against Eastman is that advising then-President Trump that then-Vice President Mike Pence could, as President of the Senate, delay certifying questionable votes while state legislatures reconsidered them was an act of “moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption.” Election fraud deniers insist Pence had no such authority, but Eastman has provided substantial evidence that his interpretation of the President of the Senate’s powers was valid.
Greg Jacob, a lawyer for Pence called to testify against Eastman, admitted in court that “[t]here is a section in the Constitution that is at best ambiguous whether the Vice President can reject electoral slates.” This admission of ambiguity should help Eastman undermine the State Bar’s charge that his interpretation of Pence’s powers was not just wrong, as prosecutors contend, but that Eastman had to know it was wrong.

The judge who authorized the federal raid on Mar-a-Lago has handed down an order prohibiting Donald Trump from disclosing information to the press and public.
“The Discovery Materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court,” ruled U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, a donor to Barack Obama and Jeb Bush who once represented employees of Jeffrey Epstein.
The order, which also applies to Trump’s former valet and co-defendant Walt Nauta, was requested by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting the pair over the alleged mishandling of official documents.
It follows months of leaking from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to the press. CNN, for example, had recordings of Trump used in the indictment described to them by “multiple sources,” and was later sent a full transcript – all before the charges were made public.
Jack Smith’s most prominent communications staffer is Peter Carr, who previously served as ex-FBI director Robert Mueller’s during the Russiagate investigation.
