Many Black Americans cheered, pumped their fists and exchanged high-fives, while many White Americans gasped in disbelief and anger. Some say America is a nation of immigrants who bolster the economy and reinvigorate the country. Kent Nishimura/Getty ImagesPoliticians have adopted the Simpson trial playbookThere was a surreal moment during the Simpson trial that could have been easily missed. Critics say Simpson spent years running away from his Blackness with as much vigor as he eluded NFL defenders. Simpson may have died this week, but he helped give birth to the America we now live in.

Fulton County Sheriff's OfficeTrump's latest comments about Black people come as he and his allies seek to secure a historic share of the Black vote for Republicans. Despite persistent accusations of using racist language over the years, Trump won 12% of the Black vote in 2020, which was the highest a Republican president has received in recent decades. Jasmine Harris, the Biden campaign's media director, who is Black, said Trump was an "anti-Black tyrant" and "the proud poster boy for modern racism," per NBC News. Trump holds Black Americans in such low regard that he "publicly dined with white nationalists a week after declaring his 2024 candidacy," she said.

Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to election interference in Georgia's criminal case last week. On social media, she has continued to push claims that the 2020 election was rigged and prosecutors target conservatives. She also shared a post about a survey that claimed many Democrats believe "cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 election." Chesebro and Powell have both pleaded guilty in the Fulton County election interference case.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro is shown in a police booking mugshot released by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, Atlanta, Aug. 23, 2023. Trump campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro agreed to plead guilty Friday to a felony charge in the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump. Chesebro, like Powell, will be required to testify truthfully at the trials of other co-defendants in the case, including Trump, if he is asked to do so. Powell and Chesebro have both been identified as likely co-conspirators in a separate election interference case against Trump in Washington, D.C., federal court. Asked if Trump should be worried by the development in the case, Grubman said, "I don't think so."

Chesebro pleaded guilty in a Fulton County court to conspiracy to commit filing of false documents, one day after another former lawyer for Trump, Sidney Powell, also pleaded guilty in the case that had been scheduled to begin on Monday. The plea agreements mean that the first scheduled trial in the case, which was set to give Trump and other co-defendants a preview of the state’s case, will not happen. The Georgia case is one of four state or federal criminal cases that Trump is facing and one of two specifically focused on his attempts to overturn his election defeat. Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has pleaded not guilty and continues to falsely claim his loss was the result of fraud.

Right-wing attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty Thursday to criminal charges stemming from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen other defendants. The first, bail bondsman Scott Hall, pleaded guilty in September to five misdemeanor conspiracy charges. Like Hall, Powell agreed to testify truthfully in upcoming trials involving other co-defendants in the case, including Trump. She was accused of being involved in a scheme to unlawfully breach election equipment in Coffee County, Georgia, and tamper with voting machines.

Fulton County Sheriff's Office/Handout via REUTERS/File PhotoWASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump ally and former Republican poll watcher Scott Hall on Friday pleaded guilty to conspiring to interfere with Georgia’s elections as part of the former U.S. president’s attempts to overturn his 2020 defeat. Hall so far is the only one of 19 defendants, including Trump, to plead guilty in Fulton County, Georgia’s conspiracy case, one of four criminal prosecutions that have ensnared the frontrunner for the Republican 2024 nomination. A live video of a court proceeding showed Hall pleaded guilty to five counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties, a misdemeanor charge. Trump has denied wrongdoing and said the case is part of a political witch hunt. Trump has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty in those cases as well.

Hall, a bail bondsman, is the first defendant in the case to plead guilty in the case. Hall, who pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor counts as part of a negotiated deal, will avoid spending time behind bars.

A Fulton County DA's Office investigator "accidentally" shot herself at the courthouse. The woman shot herself in the leg on Friday, according to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. "The shooting was an accidental discharge by a Fulton County District Attorney's Office investigator who wounded herself. "A Fulton County Sheriff's Office deputy responded and administered aid until EMS arrived," a press release from the sheriff's office also said, ABC News reported. The Fulton County courthouse was the site of Donald Trump and his co-defendants' arraignments after he was charged for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

But there was "no such concern" in this case, they argued, " because months earlier Microsoft had archived all the e-mails in Fulton County Superior Court." Attorneys for Kenneth Chesebro, a pro-Trump lawyer, argued the search warrant used to obtain emails from his MSN email account ahead of his indictment "is defective" and the search and seizure of the emails was "illegal." Those two factors are "fatal to the search warrant," they argued. A spokesman for Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis, who is prosecuting Chesebro, Trump, and 17 others in the Georgia election case, declined to comment on the filings. Chesebro and Sidney Powell, another pro-Trump attorney charged in the case, were granted speedy trials.

The preemptory step by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis comes after the grand jurors who returned the 41-count indictment against Trump and 18 others were subjected to harassment when their information was posted online. Willis wrote in a motion filed Wednesday that the grand jurors' information was posted “with the intent to harass and intimidate them." Political Cartoons View All 1146 ImagesLegal experts have said it's standard for indictments in Georgia to include the names of the grand jurors, in part because it provides defendants the opportunity to challenge the composition of the grand jury. So the names of the 23 grand jurors who heard the district attorney's evidence and voted to approve charges were included on the indictment. Attached to Willis' motion were sworn statements from Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum and an investigator in Willis' office.

Meadows is seeking to move his case to federal court, where he would face a larger and more politically diverse jury pool than in Fulton County, Georgia, the Atlanta-area Democratic stronghold where he was indicted. U.S. District Judge Steven Jones’ decision on the matter could have broad implications for Trump and his co-defendants, some of whom also have sought to move their cases to federal court. State law would still apply if the case is moved to federal court. Prosecutors say Meadows furthered the alleged scheme by arranging calls and meetings where Trump pressured election officials to change the vote count in his favor.

A judge in Atlanta set a Friday morning hearing for Harrison Floyd, a co-defendant in former President Donald Trump's election interference case in Georgia who has been held in custody since Thursday afternoon. ET before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, court records show. Floyd, like most of the 19 co-defendants in Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis' sprawling RICO case, surrendered at Fulton County jail this week ahead of a Friday deadline. Floyd did not do this and therefore "is in custody at the Fulton County Jail," the Fulton County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Thursday. The sheriff's office did not immediately respond to CNBC's request on Floyd's status earlier Friday morning.

Floyd, who appeared virtually, said that it typically cost between $40,000 to $100,000 just to retain a private lawyer to fly to Georgia.
