Trump's lawyers rebuff DA's idea for upholding his hush money conviction

APC used N20bn state money for election — PDPManchester United winger Antony has found an unlikely fan in the Romanian prime minister Marcel Ciolacu after a bizarre compilation video was posted on to TikTok. In the video on Ciolacu's official TikTok account, the political leader is seen being shown a picture of Antony and he correctly names the forward before cutting into a compilation video that highlights the forward's best bits at United . Most of the footage is restricted to his time in the United squad in his debut season including the now infamous moment when he spun around on the spot under no pressure during the victory over Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League . The exact reason Ciolacu chose to post this video on his TikTok account is unclear. However, the 57-year-old has posted football-related content on the social media platform previously - mainly surrounding the Romanian national team.

Antony may well be grateful for the support from an unlikely source after a difficult run at Old Trafford . The Brazilian has dropped down the pecking order this campaign despite promising the press in the summer that he would be back among the goals this season. Under Ruben Amorim, Antony has been moved into a left wing-back role but he is currently behind the likes of Amad and Tyrell Malacia in the squad.

By Aldgra Fredly Contributing Writer President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for tax and firearm charges has been described by President-elect Donald Trump as a “miscarriage of justice.” The decision also drew criticism not only from Republican politicians, but also from some Democrats. “Does the pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice!” Trump stated in a Truth Social post on Monday. The term “J-6 hostages” refers to people imprisoned for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol, which occurred as Congress was certifying Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory over Trump. More than 1,488 people have been charged with crimes related to the breach as of August, according to the Department of Justice. The outgoing President Biden said on Sunday that he had signed “a full and unconditional pardon” for his son, sparing him from any federal crimes and their associated legal penalties. “There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution,” Biden stated. “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here.” Hunter Biden was charged with nine counts of federal tax evasion to the sum of $1.4 million between 2016 and 2019, to which he pleaded guilty in September. He was also convicted of federal gun charges for illegally purchasing a firearm in 2018 while addicted to drugs. Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Arizona, said that he disagreed with the president’s claims that Hunter Biden’s prosecution was a result of “politically motivated” reasons. “I respect President Biden, but I think he got this one wrong,” Stanton stated on X. “Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers.” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, stated on X that he was shocked by Biden’s decision, considering the president’s previous pledge that he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, said that Biden’s move will not only tarnish his reputation but also set a “bad precedent” that could be exploited by future presidents. “While as a father I certainly understand President Joe Biden’s natural desire to help his son by pardoning him, I am disappointed that he put his family ahead of the country,” Polis stated on X. Polis said that no one is above the law, “not a president and not a president’s son.” ‘Warranted’ Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a Monday X post that the pardon was warranted and that no U.S. attorney “would have charged this case given the underlying facts.” “After a five-year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear,” Holder said. “Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been — fundamentally and more fairly — a declination.“ Hunter Biden was scheduled to face sentencing on Dec. 12 for gun charges and Dec. 16 for tax charges, but these sentencing hearings are now likely to be canceled.

"Jamieson will focus the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative on reining in the Country’s massive Trade Deficit, defending American Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Services, and opening up Export Markets everywhere," Trump said in a statement. Greer, 44, served as chief of staff to Trump's former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, the architect of Trump's original tariffs on some $370 billion worth of Chinese imports and the renegotiation of the North American free trade deal with Canada and Mexico. In this role, Greer participated with Lighthizer in all negotiations with Chinese officials through the signing of a "Phase 1" trade deal with Beijing in January 2020. Under that agreement, China pledged to buy some $200 billion worth of U.S goods over two years, a goal never achieved, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Greer, who previously worked with Lighthizer at the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, on steel trade remedy cases, left USTR in May 2020 to join the King & Spalding law firm in Washington, D.C. There, he has represented clients including domestic manufacturers in trade remedy cases, export and import compliance and investment security matters. Trump got off to an early start on specific tariff plans, vowing on Monday to impose duties of 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada and 10% on Chinese goods unless they halt flows of the deadly opioid fentanyl and illegal migrants into the U.S. The threat has drawn warnings of retaliation. The threat comes on top of Trump's vow to impose tariffs of 60% on Chinese imports and 10% to 20% on all goods from elsewhere. Greer's views on China are firmly aligned with both Trump and Lighthizer and on the need for strong actions against China to counter its state-driven efforts to dominate global industries and protect U.S. jobs and industries. During testimony in May before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, Greer argued in favor of "increased tariff usage" to level the trade playing field between the U.S. and China, along with stronger export controls to safeguard sensitive U.S. technologies. He applauded President Joe Biden's steep tariff increases on Chinese imports to shield strategic industries such as electric vehicles, batteries and semiconductors, but said stronger action was needed. "I'm gravely concerned not only with Chinese efforts to dominate global markets and some of the most important technologies and advanced manufactured goods, but also with the Chinese government's use of trade investment to support its state owned enterprises, its military, and then to drive an economy that appears to be gearing up for conflict with the United States and others," Greer said. Greer said during a February trade forum that his clients have been seeking to diversify their supply chains away from China, partly a result of the tariffs imposed on Chinese imports during Trump's first term.
