Markets mixed as traders assess crises in South Korea, FranceDollar Tree CEO says 'pressured' Americans are hosting smaller parties to save moneyOur community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info President-elect Donald Trump's lawyers have formally asked a judge to throw out his hush money criminal conviction, arguing that continuing the case would present unconstitutional "disruptions to the institution of the presidency". In a filing made public on Tuesday, Trump's lawyers told Manhattan Judge Juan M Merchan that dismissal is warranted because of the extraordinary circumstances of his impending return to the White House. "Wrongly continuing proceedings in this failed lawfare case disrupts President Trump’s transition efforts," the lawyers continued, before citing the "overwhelming national mandate granted to him by the American people on November 5 2024". Trump's lawyers also cited President Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son , Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges. " President Biden asserted that his son was 'selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted', and ''treated differently'," Trump's legal team wrote. The Manhattan district attorney, they claimed, had engaged in the type of political theatre "that President Biden condemned". Prosecutors will have until December 9 to respond. They have said they will fight any efforts to dismiss the case but have indicated openness to delaying sentencing until after Trump’s second term ends in 2029.

In their filing on Monday, Trump’s lawyers dismissed the idea of holding off sentencing until Trump is out of office as a “ridiculous suggestion”. Following Trump’s election victory last month, Judge Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed his sentencing , previously scheduled for late November, to allow the defence and prosecution to weigh in on the future of the case. He also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. Trump has been fighting for months to reverse the conviction . It involved efforts to conceal a 130,000 dollar payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, whose affair allegations threatened to disrupt his 2016 campaign. He has denied any wrongdoing. Trump takes office on January 20. Judge Merchan has not set a timetable for a decision. The defence filing was signed by Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, who represented Trump during the trial. They have since been selected by the president-elect to fill senior roles at the Justice Department. A dismissal would erase Trump’s historic conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence . Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office. Judge Merchan could also decide to uphold the verdict and proceed to sentencing or delay the case until Trump leaves office. And he can also wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court or choose some other option. Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a 130,000 dollar hush money payment to Ms Daniels , just before the 2016 presidential election, to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. He says they did not and denies any wrongdoing. Prosecutors cast the payout as part of a Trump-driven effort to keep voters from hearing salacious stories about him. Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen paid Ms Daniels. Trump later reimbursed him, and Trump’s company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses – concealing what they really were , prosecutors alleged. Trump has pledged to appeal against the verdict if the case is not dismissed. He and his lawyers said the payments to Mr Cohen were properly categorised as legal expenses for legal work.

President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his support for his pick to lead the Department of Defense, saying "Pete Hegseth is doing very well." He will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense...Pete is a WINNER, and there is nothing that can be done to change that!!!" Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social media platform on Friday. Hegseth's Nomination Hegseth, a former Fox News host, Army National Guard major and combat veteran, spent the week on Capitol Hill working to secure his Cabinet nomination. Behind closed doors, he sought to reassure Republican senators of his qualifications to lead Trump's Pentagon . Hegseth's confirmation by the Senate remains uncertain amid scrutiny over allegations of excessive drinking, sexual assault and his controversial views on women serving in combat roles. The contentious nomination of Hegseth has become more than a debate over who should lead the Pentagon, and it underscores a conservative push for a more traditionally masculine military while targeting diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Trump's allies have mounted a vigorous defense of Hegseth, including the Heritage Foundation's political arm, which has pledged $1 million to bolster his embattled nomination. Meanwhile, Hegseth has vowed to remain in the fight as long as the president-elect supports him. "We're going to earn those votes," Hegseth said in Washington D.C. this week. "As long as Donald Trump wants me in this fight, I'm going to be standing right here." The fight over Hegseth's nomination has also been seen by some observers as a test of Trump's influence and the limits of loyalty among Republican senators grappling with concerns over his picks. Two of Trump's earlier nominees have already withdrawn under intense scrutiny: former Congressman Matt Gaetz , his initial choice for attorney general, and Florida Sheriff Chad Chronister, who was tapped to head the Drug Enforcement Administration. Views of Hegseth Donald Trump Jr., the president-elect's son, voiced support for Hegseth this week, saying on social media that "if you're a GOP Senator who voted for [current Defense Secretary] Lloyd Austin , but criticize @PeteHegseth, then maybe you're in the wrong political party!" Hegseth has assured lawmakers he would abstain from drinking while in office and denied any allegations of sexual misconduct. However, his professional stance on female service members has faced mounting criticism, particularly after he stated last month that women "straight up" should not serve in combat roles. Hegseth secured a key endorsement from Republican Senator Katie Britt of Alabama, whose backing is viewed as a significant counterbalance to the lukewarm reception he received from Republican Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, a former Army National Guard lieutenant colonel. Ernst, a sexual assault survivor, declined to endorse Hegseth following their meeting this week. While acknowledging his military service, Ernst stated that they "had a frank and thorough conversation." Trump's incoming Vice President J.D. Vance also issued support for Hegseth on Friday, saying: "I fully support Pete. I think Pete's gonna get confirmed, and we are completely behind him." The New York Times Report The New York Times recently published a 2018 email from Hegseth's mother, Penelope, in which she accused him of mistreating women after he fathered a child with his current wife while still married to his second. This week, she appeared on Fox & Friends to defend her son. As Hegseth continued his battle for Senate confirmation, he appeared to make some headway with Republican lawmakers who had previously voiced concerns, particularly regarding reports about his drinking. "I'm not going to make any decision regarding Pete Hegseth's nomination based on anonymous sources," Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said.

As they prepare to face a familiar foe in this NFC East showdown, the conversation off the field has shifted to linebacker Micah Parsons’ thoughts on a hot topic in sports media. By Tony Fisher Earlier this week, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James announced he is stepping back from his influential social media presence, citing the toll of public scrutiny. Cowboys star Micah Parsons was asked to share his perspective on James’ decision during a media session. ... and whether he might follow suit. “LeBron was on social media for 20 years... I’m in year four!” Parsons quipped . “Now he’s getting off social media? Four championships later? (Laughing) LeBron was on social media when he won an NBA title. What are we saying here? I might be done with the media in 20 years. “You won’t know who I am in 20 years. I might have a beard and (be) bald and (be) on a beach somewhere.” Parsons, an active social media user and podcast host, often receives criticism for his online presence, much like James has throughout his career. While Parsons embraces the platform to connect with fans and express his personal views, James has used social media to grow his brand and voice his opinions on political and personal matters including speaking out against former coach Darvin Ham earlier this season during his podcast.

OC Transpo holds 'dress rehearsal' for Trillium Line on SaturdayVoters in Ireland were more than usually busy in 2024, casting their ballot in five different polls – for two referenda in March, local and European ballots in June and a general election in November. The country’s political comings and goings were further punctuated by an emotional announcement in March from former premier Leo Varadkar that he was resigning as taoiseach and Fine Gael leader. He was succeeded the following month in both roles by Simon Harris. But the year had so much more to offer than just politics, and PA news agency photographers were on hand to capture some of the highlights.
