Former President Donald Trump pleads not guilty to 34 felony counts
Former President Donald Trump has plead not guilty to 34 felony counts. In New York city Tuesday, Trump faced the court which has been politically motivated in its charges of falsifying business records in the first degree.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged that Trump “repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.”
“During the election, TRUMP and others employed a ‘catch and kill’ scheme to identify, purchase, and bury negative information about him and boost his electoral prospects,” Bragg alleged. “TRUMP then went to great lengths to hide this conduct, causing dozens of false entries in business records to conceal criminal activity, including attempts to violate state and federal election laws.”
However, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York opted out of charging Trump related to the payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal in 2019. Additionally, the Federal Election Commission ended its investigation in 2021.

Fox News reports that Trump surrendered to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and was arraigned in court Tuesday afternoon. The indictment was unsealed in court during the arraignment.

Democrats Worry Continued Fundraising by Kamala Harris is Hurting Them With Voters
The 2024 election has been over for weeks now, but Kamala Harris is still fundraising.
Despite raising and spending more than a billion dollars in this election cycle, Harris ended her campaign with more than $20 million dollars in debt. Even more shocking, the DNC laid off a massive number of staffers and didn’t pay senior campaign workers at the end.
Now Harris is still fundraising in a desperate attempt to retire her campaign debt and other members of the party believe this is very damaging.
Politico reported:
Dems fear Harris’ continued fundraising ‘erodes trust’
The emails themselves don’t mention debt, instead citing the organization’s support for recount efforts in close races and legal challenges. And the Harris campaign denies that the campaign or affiliated joint fundraising committees had outstanding debts on Election Day, and says they won’t report debts owed in future Federal Election Commission reports due in December.
But the fundraising appeals have still continued, and some Democrats fear she may be compounding the party’s problems with the tone of some of her appeals — damaging relationships with online donors who have long powered the party. In just a few months, the vice president built up a record-breaking fundraising operation. She raked in funds from millions of online donors within the first week of her candidacy, and continued to hold fundraising events well into the fall. Now those same donors who helped her raise more than $1.4 billion are among the people being asked to give more. The emails still come two or three times a day.
This is going to be a serious issue for Democrats going forward. Their own donors don’t trust them anymore and who can blame them?
