Inside One 'Egregious' Mistake From Trump's Florida Judge Aileen Cannon

Judge Aileen Cannon barely has any courtroom experience, but in her limited time on the bench she appears to have flouted hundreds of years of legal tradition—just because.

The blunder was simple and entirely avoidable. The federal judge told jurors they could find the man, Christopher Wilkins, "guilty or not guilty." But then she handed jurors a verdict form that didn’t even have those options.

The charges in Georgia are not only some of the most serious that Donald Trump faces, but some of the most important: as they are state crimes, no future president can interfere to attempt to make them disappear.

The new law gives the commission broad authority to remove prosecutors who "refuse to uphold the law" and could be used to target prosecutors who say they will refuse to enforce anti-abortion laws.

Zillow says listing alleging sale of Mar-a-Lago was incorrect

The real estate site Zillow popped up with a strange listing for Mar-a-Lago, saying that former President Donald Trump sold his property for $422 million on Aug. 4, 2023. Zillow has now said that the listing was "incorrect," according to Newsweek.

Trump might not have sold it, but rather moved ownership so that the country club could no longer be considered one of his personal assets.
