Donald Trump’s mug shot

Donald Trump is hitting back at attempts to ban him from the 2024 presidential race under the 14th Amendment.

Several Democrats and top legal scholars have argued that Mr Trump should be disqualified from running for president again as the amendment bans insurrectionists from holding public office.

Mr Trump took to Truth Social on Labor Day ranting that it is “just another ‘trick’ being used by the Radical Left Communists, Marxists, and Fascists, to again steal an Election that their candidate, the WORST, MOST INCOMPETENT, & MOST CORRUPT President in US history, is incapable of winning in a Free and Fair Election. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

This comes ahead of a busy week for the former president as the future of Truth Social hangs in the balance.

Truth Social’s parent company Trump Media & Technology Group has until 8 September to complete a merger with SPAC Digital World Acquisition Corp to take the platform public.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Mr Trump’s codefendants in his Georgia election interference case will appear for their arraignment in Fulton County. Among the 19 defendants, Mr Trump and several of his allies have already pleaded not guilty and waived their appearance.

The office of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell released a letter from Congress’s attending physician on Tuesday proclaiming there to be “no evidence” that the leading Republican suffers from a seizure disorder or recently had a stroke.

Mr McConnell, 81, is one of the Senate’s oldest members. At two recent press conferences, he has appeared to freeze up completely and found himself unable to speak or respond to questions before being hurriedly lead away by aides or other members of the chamber.

31 minutes ago Will Trump go to prison?

Donald Trump faces four criminal indictments in three separate jurisdictions. Nearly 100 felony criminal charges are leveled against the former president, who remains the odds-on favourite to win the 2024 Republican primary.

As his legal battles grow more complex by the day, a serious question has emerged: Whether Mr Trump will win the nomination and campaign for the general election as a convicted criminal.

That possibility, in turn, raises another, simpler question: Will the 45th President of the United States go to prison?

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in Georgia connected to a sprawling case surrounding Donald Trump’s attempts to subvert the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

John Eastman, a Trump-linked attorney and chief architect of a plot to unlawfully swap presidential electors for Joe Biden with Trump loyalists, and former assistant US Attorney General Jeffrey Clark have also pleaded not guilty and waived their Fulton County court appearance that was scheduled for 6 September.

They join 16 other defendants in the case, including the former president, who have pleaded not guilty to the mountain of charges against them, including an alleged racketeering scheme prosecuted under the state’s RICO statute.

Only Misty Hampton, the former elections director in Georgia’s Coffee County, has yet to enter a plea.
