Officially launched as a candidate at the National Party conference, Former US President Donald Trump used the attack he suffered on Saturday to demand “an end to all political attacks” he faced, in relation to the criminal cases open to him. With Monday’s revocation of the lawsuit filed for improper use of classified documents, Trump is seeking to justify his negligence with the November presidential elections in mind. The actor gathered other serious criminal cases ranging from the falsification of business records to giving a bribe to a porn star to trying to change the results of the 2020 elections.
“I reject all witch hunts”
In a message on the Truth Social Network, Trump celebrated the decision of a Florida judge to dismiss the case for improper handling of classified documents, because when he left the White House in 2021 the former president took boxes with secret book to your mansion. from Mar-a-Lago. The former president was linked to an assassination attempt during a campaign event in Pennsylvania, where he was injured, with judicial processes facing different parts of the country.

Trump. Judge Aileen Cannon granted the request from her lawyers and canceled the process, considering the appointment of special prosecutor Jack Smith, investigating the case, illegal.
Without ruling on the merits of the matter, the judge said that the special assignment of counsel and expenses violated sections of the Act related to appointments and expenses. A few hours later, the Department of Justice “authorized the special prosecutor to appeal that decision,” as announced Monday by Smith’s spokesman, Peter Carr, who said that Cannon’s ruling was contrary to that of all courts. another who dealt with this issue before. .
The indictment alleges that Trump compromised the security of the United States by keeping classified documents, including military plans and information on nuclear weapons, in his home after he left the presidency, instead of turning them over to homes. -national security as required by law.

Formalized application
The Republican Party presented this Monday, during its national convention in Milwaukee, the choice of Trump as its candidate for the November elections. About 2,400 delegates representing different states and regions of the country cast their ballots for Trump, who ultimately received 2,387 votes.
When Eric Trump, the son of the former president, announced the delivery of Florida votes for his father, the number necessary to establish the nomination has arrived and a cheer went out to the sound of the song “Celebration” by Kool & Gang and Pat. Boone. The Republican National Convention begins with Trump’s nomination mathematically certain: he needs the votes of 1,215 delegates to have and in the primary process the votes of 2,268 are guaranteed.
In addition, his main rival Nikki Haley, the former US ambassador to the UN, abandoned 97 of his delegates so that they could vote for the former president. Delegates gathered at the Republican National Convention also unanimously approved the election of Ohio Senator JD Vance, a 39-year-old young man who is not only a politician but also a businessman and author, as a vice presidential candidate.

That list proposes to “stop the immigrant invasion” in the United States and “make the biggest immigration move in the history” of the country, but leaves the decision in the hands of each state in relation to abortion.
The FBI is still looking for clues
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris received an update Monday from the FBI, Secret Service and security forces about the former president’s assassination attempt. The meeting, behind closed doors, took place in the crisis room of the White House, and included, among others, the attorney general, Merrick Garland; FBI Director Christopher Wray; and Secretary of National Security, Alejandro Mayorkas.
In that press conference, Mayorkas explained that, as Biden announced on Sunday, the US government will conduct an independent investigation into the actions of the Secret Service and the security procedures surrounding the incident. The FBI announced that it managed to access the phone of Thomas Matthew Crooks20-year-old man accused of trying to kill Trump.
The investigation into Saturday’s shooting, which is being treated as a possible act of domestic terrorism, is still in its early stages, so the FBI asks for patience. So the federal intelligence agency has conducted about 100 interviews with law enforcement officials who were at the rally where Trump was shot, as well as participants in that event and other witnesses.
On Saturday, Crooks shot the former president with an AR-15 assault rifle from atop a hill outside the security perimeter of the event, in the state of Pennsylvania. The attack raised serious questions about possible flaws in security procedures, with many wondering how the shooter was able to climb onto the roof and fire eight times before Secret Service agents shot him down.
The director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, accepted responsibility for the attack this Monday in an interview on the ABC channel, but said she would remain in the office. Concerned about possible similar incidents, the president ordered that independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. equipped with a Secret Service machine and reinforced by Trump.
