CNN —President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, justified the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack and spread baseless conspiracy theories claiming the initial break-in was a false flag operation carried out by leftist groups disguised as Trump supporters. Hegseth alleged that he had seen evidence firsthand that Antifa members disguised themselves as Trump supporters at the riot. His statements echo widely debunked conspiracy theories propagated by some in conservative circles after the Capitol attack. As previously reported by CNN, the conspiracy about Antifa and the Capitol was promoted by a large roster of right-wing people and entities. Pete Hegseth pushed false flag claims about January 6 riot and justified Capitol violence Hegseth justified the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack and spread baseless conspiracy theories about the initial break-in on a podcast.

Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi preside over a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC. “I don’t make decisions based on who is the president,” Ford said. The federal election subversion indictment against Trump, filed by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith, has already been dismissed. And while the Georgia case against Trump and his 14 co-defendants remains in limbo, the state likely won’t move forward with charges against Trump while he’s the sitting president. “It all speaks to the uniqueness of the legal issues surrounding President Trump,” said Elliot Williams, a CNN legal analyst and former Justice Department prosecutor.

Thanksgiving is the one-month anniversary of Giuliani's deadline to turn over assets. Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss have received a car and apartment without the paperwork to sell either.

The former New York City mayor was in federal court in Manhattan on Tuesday to discuss his continuing failure to give up nearly $11 million worth of personal assets. The forfeiture was meant as a down payment on the $148 million Mr. Giuliani owes to two Georgia election workers for defaming them by claiming, without evidence, that they had helped to steal the 2020 presidential election. But first, Judge Lewis Liman allowed Mr. Giuliani’s lawyers to withdraw from the case. “I’m sorry it came to this,” Kenneth Caruso, one of the Mr. Giuliani’s lawyers, said before he and his co-counsel left the hearing. In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Caruso said that there had been “a difference of opinion” with Mr. Giuliani but they wished his new counsel “every success.”

During his tenure, Williams secured convictions against Menendez, the longtime Democratic senator from New Jersey, on bribery charges; FTX CEO Bankman-Fried on fraud charges; and Maxwell on sex trafficking charges. Those awaiting trial include Adams on bribery and wire fraud charges and Combs on an array of charges that include sex trafficking and racketeering. In his statement, Williams called his decision to step down "bittersweet." Trump initially nominated Clayton for the post in 2020, but his nomination was scuttled amid opposition from New York Sens.

Barack Obama was elected president, and the mood in the Republican Party picked up on the mood you’ve already described. But in the end, what he did electorally was not in that election to build the pan ethnic working class Republican Party. But at the very least, there was the conventional wisdom was that the Republican Party had to move substantially to the left on immigration. I just think that if the Republican Party is not the party of private property and wealth building, so I don’t think.

The filing said those claims are "unambiguous violations of the Consent Injunction, and the Court should hold him in civil contempt." A representative for Giuliani, Ted Goodman, called the motion "a dishonest and duplicitous attack meant to deprive Mayor Rudy Giuliani of his First Amendment right to freedom of speech." "The ongoing lawfare against Mayor Giuliani must end," he said in a statement. Giuliani was found liable for defaming the pair during his efforts on Trump's behalf to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

CNN —Two Georgia election workers who won a massive verdict against Rudy Giuliani because he defamed them after the 2020 election are asking a federal judge to hold him in contempt of court. The pair, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, say Trump continues to repeat harmful lies about them on his nightly broadcast, in defiance of court orders. Accordingly, the Court should hold him in contempt and enter civil contempt sanctions,” Freeman and Moss’ lawyers wrote to Judge Beryl Howell in the DC District Court. Howell presided over the trial where a jury found Giuliani defamed Freeman and Moss so severely that he should pay them $150 million. He has already lost his law license because of his work for the Trump campaign in 2020, which included his efforts in Georgia.

The two were tapped to lead the “Department of Government Efficiency” (or “DOGE,” a play on a cryptocurrency Musk has promoted).

Giuliani also told his bank to turn over at least $30,000 in a bank account, according to a Friday court filing. If Giuliani didn’t give up the full list of items ordered by a judge last month, he could be held in contempt of court. Giuliani has indicated in court proceedings one watch is from his grandfather and two others were gifts from European leaders after the September 11, 2001, attacks. The pair are also still fighting in court to try to win his $3.5 million Palm Beach, Florida, condo and four Yankees World Series rings from the 1990s and 2000. Giuliani is still arguing he should be able to keep living in the Palm Beach condo and Manhattan apartment, and that he gave the World Series rings to his son years ago.

The attorneys who've been defending Rudy Giuliani in a case seeking to force him to turn over his assets to two former election worker he defamed are asking a judge permission to drop him as a client. “Mayor Giuliani has not been informed by Mr. Caruso of this action.

Lawyers representing Rudy Giuliani in a lawsuit related to a massive defamation judgment against him are seeking to quit the case in New York federal court, citing significant disagreements with the former Trump campaign attorney over how to handle the matter. Giuliani's spokesman, Ted Goodman, in a statement to CNBC, said, "Mayor Giuliani has not been informed by Mr. Caruso of this action." Giuliani represented Trump on the heels of the 2020 election, when the then-president was seeking to reverse his loss to President Joe Biden. Giuliani during that time falsely claimed that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss committed ballot fraud at a Georgia vote-counting site.

That includes some of Giuliani's prized Yankees memorabilia, including a signed Joe DiMaggio jersey and an autographed Reggie Jackson picture.

The Trump campaign and surrogates began filing lawsuits the very same day, challenging the results on a variety of grounds well before the final votes were counted. In Arizona, voters and the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit alleging thousands of people in Maricopa County had their ballots disqualified because of ink-bleed caused by Sharpies. In Wisconsin, Trump filed a lawsuit alleging widespread voter fraud and demanding a recount, which ultimately reaffirmed Joe Biden’s victory in the state. Giuliani has been disbarred in New York and D.C., indicted in Georgia and Arizona and has been ordered to turn over his Manhattan apartment and other property to two Georgia election workers he defamed.
