These charges come in the wake of a startling judgment from Judge Arthur Engoron last month, who determined there to be fraud within the Trump Organization.
On Tuesday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals broadened an existing injunction to encompass the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), amid allegations of unconstitutional collusion with big tech firms to silence "election-related speech."
In a Thursday interview, former President Donald Trump disclosed his willingness to step in as a temporary speaker of the House of Representatives, aiming to bring unity within the Republican ranks while a permanent replacement is decided upon.
The narrative painted by Trump's legal defense is one that advocates for the preservation of a longstanding precedent, positioning the indictment as an anomaly that threatens to undermine the constitutional safeguards vested in the presidency.
"Am I following the law or am I making the law? I’m an impartial referee but it’s impossible for me to factor out my own emotions," Engoron said in a speech at the City University of New York in 2015.
