## Bombshell immunity filing details Trump's alleged 'increasingly desperate' bid to overturn 2020 election

Authored by abcnews.go.com

"When the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office," the filing said.

"With private co-conspirators, the defendant launched a series of increasingly desperate plans to overturn the legitimate election results in seven states that he had lost.".

You still have to fight like hell," Trump allegedly told members of his family following the 2020 election, the filing said.

"The throughline of these efforts was deceit: the defendant's and co-conspirators' knowingly false claims of election fraud," the filing said.

Trump's lawyers opposed Wednesday's lengthy filing -- which they described as "tantamount to a premature and improper Special Counsel report" -- and argued that public release of the allegations would improperly influence the election and violate Department of Justice policies.

Judge Chutkan -- who has long stated that the election does not play a factor in her decision making -- ordered the filing be publicly released Wednesday.

"Although the defendant was the incumbent President during the charged conspiracies, his scheme was fundamentally a private one," Wednesday's filing said. »

The organization that held the auction, the Ellis County WildGame Dinner, presented the guitar with a signed CD insert but the guitar itself was not signed.

In the video, a white-haired man shuffles up to grab the guitar and smashes it with a hammer, to the cheers of the assembled crowd. »

### Iran Is Not Ready for War With Israel

Authored by theatlantic.com

Now, as then, my sources suggest that Iran has no appetite for getting into a war and hopes for this to be the end of hostilities.

In the past month, Iran has had to watch while Israel made quick work of destroying Hezbollah’s command structure and killed its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

But Iran is not ready for an all-out war: Its economically battered society does not share its leaders’ animus toward Israel, and its military capabilities don’t even begin to match Israel’s sophisticated arsenal. »
