Efforts To Remove Trump From 2024 Ballot Using 14th Amendment Ramp Up: Report
Lawrence Caplan, a Florida tax attorney, became the first to challenge Trump’s candidacy for president in federal court last week, pointing to the Amendment’s “disqualification clause” that says those who “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the government cannot hold office.
He told The Hill that the former president’s grand jury indictments in the Washington, D.C., election interference federal case and the Georgia case stemming from alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election make his disqualification automatic, despite neither indictment accusing Trump of inciting the mob that attacked the Capitol.
“The bottom line here is that President Trump both engaged in an insurrection and also gave aid and comfort to other individuals who were engaging in such actions, within the clear meaning of those terms as defined in Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Caplan wrote in a filing last week, challenging Trump’s eligibility to run for office again. “Assuming that the public record to date is accurate, and we have no evidence to the contrary, Trump is no longer eligible to seek the office of the President of the United States, or of any other state of the Union.”
The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1868 in the aftermath of the Civil War during the Reconstruction Era and was designed to represent a new birth of freedom for previously disenfranchised citizens, according to Cornell University’s Legal Information Institute. The Amendment’s “disqualification clause” was written to bar those who had joined the Confederacy from serving in state or federal office, but would “theoretically still apply” to those who engage in future rebellions or insurrections against the U.S.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued an order on August 21 prohibiting the former president from engaging in any acts of “intimidation,” whether through direct or indirect means, aimed at witnesses and other parties associated with the Georgia case, according to a court document. The order includes Trump’s social media posts and even his reposts of other people’s content. Moreover, Trump cannot communicate directly about the facts of the case with any co-defendant except through legal counsel.
Additionally, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a protective order on August 11 to restrict Trump’s speech about “sensitive materials” in the Washington, D.C. indictment for his conduct related to the 2020 election. “Sensitive materials” often include witness interviews and recordings of conversations.
”While no judge is spoiling for a fight with Trump, judges cannot let defendants flout orders or the justice system is compromised,” Joan Meyer, partner at the law firm Thompson Hine LLP, told the DCNF. “Trump is not above the law and if he tries to test that too aggressively, he may find himself in violation.”
However, Trump’s candidacy grants him significant leeway to speak out, founding professor of Nova Southeastern University Law Center Bruce Rogow told the DCNF.
“Trump of course is in a unique situation and he can, as a candidate, rail against the prosecution generally and he will not be sanctioned,” Rogow told the DCNF.

‘Best Imaginable First Amendment Case’: Legal Experts Throw Cold Water On Judges’ Attempts To Silence Trump
Trump may retain the ability to openly discuss the cases in which he is a defendant regardless of the restrictions judges have imposed on him.
The Left has made Trump into the ultimate outlaw. Trump already had a certain appeal — to men especially — with his globe-trotting magnate lifestyle, his golden real estate towers and huge private jet, and his drop-dead wife with smoldering eyes and a sexy accent. Then he became president, defeating the establishment in the process.
So the establishment came gunning for him, throwing every kind of politicized legal attack at him they could cobble together.
But they forgot that they had literally spent generations training their captive demographic supporters not to trust the system, especially not law enforcement. Whoops.
Trump is now the first presidential candidate who’s ever been badass enough to have his own mugshot. You can’t buy that kind of street cred. And not just any mugshot — it’s the fiercest portrait of righteous rage in the face of persecution in just about ever. It’s a total slay, as the kids say these days.
And the memes! It’s like 2016 all over again.

How Trump’s Trial Schedule Lines Up With The 2024 Election Calendar
“Setting a trial date does not depend and should not depend on a defendant’s personal and professional obligations,” said presiding U.S. District Judge Tonya Chutkan, according to NBC News. “Mr. Trump, like any defendant, will have to make the trial date work, regardless of his schedule,” the judge added.
Indeed, over the next year, Trump’s campaign schedule is poised to become a balancing act while he contends with a bevy of trials — some of which, like with the federal case in D.C., line up with key election dates. The situation has given cause to Trump’s supporters to claim there is election interference at play.
Kicking off a pair of civil matters heading to court, Trump faces a fraud suit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James that is set to go to trial on October 2.
Then a defamation lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, who accuses the former president of raping her, is set to go to trial on January 15, 2024 — coinciding with the first-in-the-nation Iowa Republican presidential caucus.
A hush-money criminal case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is scheduled to go to trial on March 25, a date that is right in the middle of a slate of key election contests. States poised to hold March 19 primaries include Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, and Ohio. Louisiana holds its primary on March 23, while Wisconsin has its primary set for April 2.
Woman Who Escaped Communist China Under Mao Reacts to Trump Arrest – Sounds Alarm About ‘Cultural Revolution’ In America (VIDEO)
Xi Van Fleet escaped from communist China, but not before witnessing the horrors of life under Mao Zedong, who was responsible for the deaths of millions of people, mostly by starvation.
When she looks at what the left is doing to Trump, she has a warning for America. She says this is just what China’s ‘Cultural Revolution’ looked like.
She accuses the left of being Marxists and says that no one is safe because they will eventually come for everyone.

Yuscil Taveras, the Mar-a-Lago IT director who flipped on Donald Trump, is a registered Democrat with a history of money troubles and a part-time gig as 'DJ Juicy'
- Mar-a-Lago IT director Yuscil Taveras is expected to testify against Trump after admitting he lied in his previous testimony in the classified documents case
- And now, DailyMail.com can reveal Taveras, a New York native, is a registered Democrat who once filed for bankruptcy and had moonlighted as 'DJ Juicy'
- The married dad-of-two, 45, had been initially identified in indictment docs as 'Trump Employee 4' who had allegedly been asked to 'delete' a server
The Mar-a-Lago IT director who flipped on Donald Trump in the classified documents case is a part-time DJ and registered Democrat with a history of money troubles, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Yuscil Taveras, 45, managed to rack up debts of nearly $750,000 despite holding down a string of well-paid tech jobs and moonlighting as 'DJ Juicy.'
The dad-of-two battled back from bankruptcy but now finds himself a pivotal figure in Special Counsel Jack Smith's efforts to convict Trump of mishandling top secret government material.
But when Smith's team threatened him with perjury charges, Taveras fired his Trump-appointed lawyer, 'recanted' his previous evidence, and will likely testify against his former employer when the case goes to trial.
The New York native has scrubbed his social media and kept a low profile since his explosive U-turn was revealed in an August 22 federal court filing.
He and his wife are currently renting a smart $850,000 home in a gated community in Lake Worth, Florida, less than 30 minutes from the Mar-a-Lago Club, where the longtime Trump organization employee has worked for the past several years.

Trump may have violated copyright law by selling mugshot merchandise
But legal scholars say that money may rightfully belong to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, which took the photo, as US copyright law stipulates that the law enforcement agency that takes a mugshot is the legal owner of it.
“In the context of photographs taken by law enforcement during the booking process, the author of the mugshot photograph is the law enforcement agency,” the 2022 University of Georgia School of Law’s Journal of Intellectual Property Law states.
As such, Betsy Rosenblatt, a professor at Case Western Reserve University’s School of Law, says there are limitations to what people may do with such photographs.
New leak to CNN says Jack Smith preparing to indict Trump AGAIN
“Special counsel Jack Smith is still pursuing his investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election a month after indicting Donald Trump for orchestrating a broad conspiracy to remain in power, a widening of the probe that raises the possibility others could still face legal peril,” CNN breathlessly reported.
“Questions asked of two recent witnesses indicate Smith is focusing on how money raised off baseless claims of voter fraud was used to fund attempts to breach voting equipment in several states won by Joe Biden, according to multiple sources familiar with the ongoing investigation. In both interviews, prosecutors have focused their questions on the role of former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell,” the media outlet continued.
“According to invoices obtained by CNN, Powell’s non-profit, Defending the Republic, hired forensics firms that ultimately accessed voting equipment in four swing states won by Biden: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona,” CNN noted.

Welcome to the Third World Baby!
Thanks Jack Smith, for trying your best to deliver the black vote for Trump. Shout out to Letitia James for her help too.

Judge rules Trump committed fraud by inflating his net worth
In all, the judge ruled Trump had inflated the value of his various properties by more than $2 billion. As noted above, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump are also found liable because they signed documents connected with the valuations. Several other people and entities are also part of the case (the full list can be found in the ruling). Even Trump’s lawyers get fined for repeatedly making the same arguments after those arguments had twice been found invalid.
So, what does all of this add up to? It means that Trump, his sons and other people have been found liable and now the civil trial brought by the AG will proceed to determine the size of the penalty he must pay. The original lawsuit was for $250 million so the size of the penalty could be substantial.
