Pecker said he spoke to Howard to verify whether the story about Trump having a child with the housekeeper in the penthouse was true, and he recalled saying that there should be a source agreement with Dino Sajuddin and that he should take a polygraph.

Steinglass abruptly cut Pecker off.

“What you’re about to say, don’t say that,” Steinglass told Pecker.

AI-generated images of Trump with Black voters being spread by supporters

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/04/trump-ai-generated-images-black-voters

Dozens of fake, artificial intelligence-generated photos showing Donald Trump with Black people are being spread by his supporters, according to a new investigation.

BBC Panorama reported that the images appear to be created by supporters themselves. There is no evidence tying the photos to Trump’s campaign.

One photo was created by the Florida-based conservative radio show host Mark Kaye.

“I’m not out there taking pictures of what’s really happening. I’m a storyteller,” Kaye told BBC. “I’m not claiming it is accurate. I’m not saying, ‘Hey, look, Donald Trump was at this party with all of these African American voters. Look how much they love him.’”

There really is no bottom….
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/joe-biden-jonathan-turley-crimes-b2502821.html

A US law professor has bizarrely suggested that Joe Biden and his family may be genetically predisposed to commit crimes, pointing to a distant relative of the president as supposed evidence.

In an opinion article for The Hill, Jonathan Turley, an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School, said that the skirting of recent legal troubles by the Bidens was “something of a family trait acquired through generations of natural selection”.

Reid Hoffman pauses Nikki Haley funding after New Hampshire loss

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/24/source-reid-hoffman-pauses-haley-funding-after-new-hampshire-loss.html

Billionaire Reid Hoffman is not planning to give any more money to Nikki Haley’s candidacy for president, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Hoffman, a co-founder of LinkedIn, wrote on his page in December that while he is a supporter of President Joe Biden, he believed that Haley had the best chance at beating Trump in the Republican primary.

For Haley, the loss of Hoffman could be the beginning of a larger donor exodus from her corner.

"Take a seat": Judge tells Trump adviser Boris Ephsteyn to clam it during Carroll trial

https://www.yahoo.com/news/seat-judge-tells-trump-adviser-154040252.html

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who is overseeing E. Jean Carroll's second defamation trial against former President Donald Trump, did not hold back on Tuesday when one MAGA adviser tried to interrupt the proceedings by saying his piece. Politico reporter Erica Orden caught the moment when longtime Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn attempted to interject in real-time at a Manhattan courtroom.

"Are you a member of the bar of this court?" Kaplan asked Epshteyn.

"I'm a member of the New York State Bar," Ephsteyn replied.

Kaplan: "Alright, then please have a seat.”

Imprisoned Russian Opposition Leader Navalny Located In Penal Colony 3 Weeks After Contact Lost

Source: Huffington Post

MOSCOW (AP) — Associates of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny said Monday that he has been located at a prison colony above the Arctic Circle nearly three weeks after contact with him was lost.

Navalny, the most prominent foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is serving a 19-year sentence on charges of extremism. He had been imprisoned in the Vladimir region of central Russia, about 230 kilometers (140 miles) east of Moscow, but his lawyers said they had not been able to reach him since Dec. 6.

His spokesperson, Kira Yarmysh, said on X, formerly Twitter, that he was located in a prison colony in the town of Kharp, in the Yamalo-Nenetsk region about 1,900 kilometers (1,200 miles) northeast of Moscow.

The region is notorious for long and severe winters; the town is near Vorkuta, whose coal mines were among the harshest of the Soviet Gulag prison-camp system
