Trump asks judge to throw out Georgia election subversion charges

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:03 GMT

By Katelyn Polantz | CNNFormer President Donald Trump is asking a court to dismiss several criminal charges against him in the Georgia 2020 election interference case.His filings on Monday are Trump’s opening salvo of legal arguments to challenge the state-level charges.The filings indicate Trump wants to adopt the legal arguments his racketeering co-defendants Rudy Giuliani, Kenneth Chesebro and Ray Smith have already made in court filings.Giuliani filed his challenge Friday, asking Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to toss his indictment due to “deficiencies,” his lawyers argued, that render it invalid. Chesebro, the pro-Trump lawyer who devised the “fake electors” scheme, filed a similar challenge last month that argued the indictment “fails to sufficiently set out the charge or any violation of the law.”Smith, an attorney for Trump’s 2020 campaign in Georgia, filed his extensive motion challenging the indictment also on Monday, arguing that the indictment had “volu...

House GOP push to impeach Biden runs into Senate GOP

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:03 GMT

By Annie Grayer, Manu Raju and Melanie Zanona | CNNHouse Republicans are not only facing resistance from within their own ranks to impeach President Joe Biden, they’re also getting a cool reception from another key constituency: Senate Republicans.The concerns raised from lawmakers across the Capitol – who would be the jury in an impeachment trial if it came to that – adds another layer of GOP opposition, and further exposes that Republicans are not unified in their pursuit of impeaching Biden.Republicans in the Senate are nervous that the push to impeach could backfire politically and give Biden a boost – all the while distracting from their efforts to paint the president as out of touch on the economy. Moreover, a number of Senate Republicans liken the Biden impeachment efforts to the two impeachments of then-President Donald Trump that they sharply criticized, even though the situations are markedly different.And some are deeply skeptical that House Republicans have gathered enou...

Could the Oakland Roots soccer team play a role in the future of the Coliseum site?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:03 GMT

OAKLAND — The Roots SC, a popular men’s minor-league soccer franchise, wants to return to Oakland, the city that is represented in the team’s name and logos but not where it currently plays soccer games.On Tuesday, city officials will begin reviewing the terms of an agreement that would allow the Roots to build a temporary 10,000-seat stadium on the largely unused Malibu parking lot, a triangular space directly adjacent to the giant Coliseum complex in deep East Oakland.After forming in the late 2010s, the Roots emerged as a prominent community attraction, and until recently played its games at Oakland’s Laney College, south of Lake Merritt.But earlier this year, the franchise skipped town to a stadium at Cal State East Bay, citing a last-minute snafu involving the turf at the Laney field. It now plans to remain a half-hour drive south in Hayward for the entire 2024 season.In the meantime, the team hopes to work through negotiations with the city, plus the lo...

The Chargers continue to be plagued by the same issues on defense under coach Brandon Staley

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:03 GMT

The Los Angeles Chargers’ offense showed signs of improvement during the season opener in the areas coach Brandon Staley pointed to throughout the offseason.The same can’t be said about Staley’s defense.Many of the deficiencies that have plagued the Chargers’ defense were laid bare again in Sunday’s 36-34 loss to the Miami Dolphins.Giving up a ton of points? Check. It was the seventh time since Staley’s arrival in 2021 that Los Angeles has allowed at least 35 points, tied for second most in the league.Inability to get off the field on third-and-long? Check. The Dolphins converted three of six opportunities when they faced third down with more than 6 yards to go. The Chargers allowed opponents to convert 30.2% on third-and-long last season, the league’s fourth-highest conversion rate.Allowing big pass plays? Check.
