Trump appeal bond claims are not valid, New York AG office says

Former US President Donald Trump speaks to the media as he arrives at a Manhattan courthouse trial in a civil fraud case brought by state Attorney General Letitia James against him, his adult sons, the Trump Organization and others in New York City, US, October 4 , 2023.

Donald Trump should have pledged real estate he owns as collateral against a $464 million business fraud judgment if he were “truly unable” to get an appeal bond for that amount, the New York attorney general’s office said in a court filing Wednesday.

Trump “at a minimum” should have let the courts hold those properties while he appealed, a lawyer for Attorney General Letitia James wrote.

The attorney, Dennis Fan, argued that Trump had not provided any evidence this week to support his claim that it was “impossible” to obtain an appeal bond using his real estate holdings as collateral.

“Defendants supply no documentary evidence that demonstrates precisely what real property they offered” to potential insurers, wrote Fan, in the filing to Manhattan appeals court judges.

Nor did they report “on what terms that property was offered, or precisely why “bond insurers” were unwilling to accept the assets,”

Elvish Yadav’s lawyer reveals how the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner got bail in Snake Venom Case, his friend also out of jail

Elvish Yadav has received bail in the Snake Venom case. Reports suggest that the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner is already out of jail. His lawyer has now given a media statement in which he revealed how Elvish got bail in the case where bail appeared tough. The decision came a day after the NDPS act was removed from the charges levied against him. Not just Elvish, his friend Vinay, who was also arrested recently, is out on bail.

During his official statement, Elvish’s lawyer Prashant Rathi said, “The honorable court has passed the order. Elvish is granted bail at the assurance of Rs. 50,000 per two people. The proceedings are taking place and as soon as they happen, Elvish will be out of jail.”

Prashant then went on to talk about what argument he presented in court that led to Elvish’s bail. “Our argument was that there wasn’t substantial evidence against Elvish. His name was dragged in the case falsely. The main accused is also out on bail,” he shared.

Elvish’s friend is also out

Prashant further clarified that Elvish’s two friends, who were arrested after him, were also out on bail. They also had to pay a fine

Quebec law protecting seniors from eviction may soon be extended: QS

The Legault government is looking to table Quebec Solidaire’s (QS) Bill 198, which expands the scope of the Françoise David law to better protect seniors from eviction, in the near future.

QS parliamentary leader Alexandre Leduc made the announcement on Friday. In an interview with The Canadian Press, he welcomed the outcome, which came after months of pressure.

“It’s good news,” he said. “In the current context of evictions and renovations, it’s not too much to ask.”

The law commonly, known as “Françoise David’s law” after the former QS leader, passed in 2016. It stipulates that a senior over 70 with a very low income who has lived in his or her home for more than 10 years cannot be evicted.

Last year, however, QS MNA Christine Labrie said more needed to be done to protect a greater number of senior tenants “from the savage evictions that are multiplying.”

She introduced Bill 198, “An Act to amend the Civil Code in order to ensure greater protection for senior tenants against repossession or eviction.”

The aim was to broaden the criteria to include people 65 and over who have been living in their home for at least five years.

Media Freedom Act: a new bill to protect EU journalist and press freedom | News

Under the new law, adopted by 464 votes in favor to 92 against and 65 abstentions, member states will be obliged to protect media independence and all forms of intervention in editorial decisions will be prohibited.

Protecting journalists’ work

Authorities will be prohibited from pressing journalists and editors to disclose their sources, including by detaining them, sanctions, office searches, or by installing intrusive surveillance software on their electronic devices.

Parliament added sizeable safeguards to allow the use of spyware, which will be possible only on a case-by-case basis and subject to authorization by a judicial authority investigating serious crimes punishable by a custodial sentence. Even in these cases, subjects will have the right to be informed after the surveillance has occurred and will be able to challenge it in court.

Editorial independence of public media

To prevent public media outlets from being used for political purposes, their heads and board members should be selected through transparent and non-discriminatory procedures for quite long terms of office. It will not be possible to dismiss them before their contract ends, unless they no longer meet the professional criteria.

Public media will have to be financed using transparent and objective procedures, and the funding

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he has concerns about the Hennepin County Attorney’s handling of the murder case against a state trooper who fatally shot a man during a 2023 traffic stop.

The big picture: A legal dispute between county attorney Mary Moriarty and trooper Ryan Londregan’s defense over a use-of-force expert sparked criticism from law enforcement and calls from Republicans for her to resign.

  • On Friday, the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association sent the governor a letter asking him to use his legal authority to direct the attorney general’s office to take over the prosecution.

Catch up fast: Moriarty announced in January that his office was charging Londregan with second-degree unintentional murder for shooting and killing Ricky Cobb II last July.

  • It marked Moriarty’s first prosecution of a high-profile shooting by law enforcement since winning election in 2022 on a platform that included holding police accountable for misconduct.

The latest: Critics of the case concerns raised after Londregan’s defense attorney claimed in a court filing last week that Moriarty’s charges went against his own use-of-force expert’s opinion that the

The North Star Act aims to provide protections to immigrants lacking legal status in Minnesota

North Star Act aims to provide protections to immigrants lacking legal status


North Star Act aims to provide protections to immigrants lacking legal status

01:26

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Legislature will begin its new session on Monday, and a bill that would make Minnesota a sanctuary state is expected to be among the top priorities.

It’s called the North Star Act and it aims to protect immigrants lacking legal status.

RELATED: The life-changing law for thousands of undocumented Minnesotans

Under the bill, law enforcement and other government agencies such as school districts and public health agencies cannot ask someone about their immigration status or help in civil immigration enforcement.

The bill also prevents state and local agencies from sharing data or collaborating with US officials to enforce immigration laws, but they can still do so if it’s part of a criminal investigation.

State government officials would also be banned from acting as immigration enforcers.

Supporters say that would help in reducing stress in interactions with law enforcement.
