Goldene Ehrenmedaille des Kongresses

The **Congressional Gold Medal** is an award bestowed by the United States Congress.

It is Congress's highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions by individuals or institutions.

The congressional practice of issuing gold medals to occasionally honor recipients from the military began during the American Revolution.

Later the practice extended to individuals in all walks of life and in the late 20th century also to groups.

The Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom are the highest civilian awards in the United States. The congressional medal seeks to honor those, individually or as a group, "who have performed an achievement that has an impact on American history and culture that is likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient's field long after the achievement."

However, "There are no permanent statutory provisions specifically relating to the creation of Congressional Gold Medals.
Find 11,780 votes

On 2 January 2021, Mr Trump called Georgia's secretary of state, a Republican named Brad Raffensperger, and said he just needed to "find 11,780 votes", the number he would have required to beat Mr Biden.
Audio of the call was published by major US news outlets, causing a national uproar. Mr Trump has denied he was pressuring the secretary of state to fraudulently find enough votes for him to win, and called it a "perfect phone call".
Ms Willis began her state inquiry in February 2021, after news of Mr Trump's call to Mr Raffensperger broke.
During this time, Mr Trump was also pressuring other top Republican officials in the state to help him overturn the election results, including the attorney general and the Governor, Brian Kemp. They refused.

germ. transl.:

»Es kann nicht sein, dass ich Georgia verloren habe«, sagte Trump. »Es kann nicht sein. Wir haben mit Hunderttausenden von Stimmen gewonnen.« Belege für seine Aussagen nannte der US-Präsident nicht. »Die Menschen in Georgia sind wütend, die Menschen im Land sind wütend. Und es ist nichts falsch daran, wenn Sie sagen, Sie wissen schon, dass Sie nachgerechnet haben«, sagte Trump.

Doch auch bei einem Sieg in Georgia hätte Trump die Präsidentschaftswahl schon verloren gehabt.
Mike Johnson

Representative **Mike Johnson**, a little-known lawmaker from Louisiana, was elected yesterday by the republ. majority to the post of speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, putting an end to three weeks of chaos that left the chamber paralyzed without a leader.

Johnson, 51, is the most junior lawmaker in decades to become speaker, an office that is second in line to the presidency.

He may also be the most conservative: He opposes abortion rights and same-sex marriage and is a leading denier that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. He also played a pivotal role in Trump’s efforts to overturn the results.

germ:

Die Republikaner stimmten geschlossen für Mike Johnson, die Demokraten geschlossen gegen ihn. Mit 220 Stimmen wurde er am Mittwoch zum Sprecher des Repräsentantenhauses gewählt. Damit enden die Wochen der Lähmung des Kongresses.

Johnson war der vierte Kandidat, den die Republikaner seit dem Sturz des Vorgängers Kevin McCarthy nominiert hatten. Diese sind nicht gewählt worden bzw. kurz danach wegen Querelen in der eigenen Partei zurückgetreten.

Er ist einer von vielen Republikanern, die sich auch nach dem gewaltsamen Sturm von Trump-Anhängern auf das Kapitol weigerten, den Wahlsieg von Joe Biden zu zertifizieren.

Für Europa und insbesondere die Ukraine ist wichtig, dass er sich ***gegen weitere Unterstützung für die Ukraine*** ausgesprochen hat.

Der frühere Präsident Donald Trump hatte vor der Wahl seine Unterstützung für Johnson signalisiert.

On 19 December, the **Colorado Supreme Court** said it found "clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection".

The lengthy 213-page ruling said Mr Trump's actions in the build-up to 6 January 2021 did constitute insurrection.

His lawyers had argued in Colorado that he should not be disqualified because he did not bear responsibility for the riot.

They also noted that Mr Trump has not been charged with inciting insurrection.

## … and the US Supreme Court

The US Supreme Court said Friday - 5 jan 2024 - it will review the Colorado Supreme Court’s unprecedented decision removing former President Donald Trump from that state’s ballot.

The court scheduled oral arguments for February 8.

Trump remains on the primary ballot as the lower-court ruling disqualifying him has been put on hold pending Supreme Court action. If the justices do conclude Trump is ineligible for public office, then any votes cast for him wouldn’t count.

Die Staatsanwaltschaft habe bislang gegen mindestens 34 mit den »Proud Boys« verbundene Personen wegen deren Beteiligung an der gewaltsamen Erstürmung des Kapitols Anklage erhoben, hieß es weiter.

Gleiches gelte für mindestens 18 Mitglieder der »Oath Keeper«, die damals »mit paramilitärischer Ausrüstung und Vorräten« nach Washington gereist seien.

* Final Report

* The congressional panel investigating last year's attack on the US Capitol has accused former President Donald Trump of a "multi-part conspiracy" to overturn his election defeat three months earlier. The panel has released its final 845-page report on the attack. It places the blame for the 6 January 2021 storming of Congress squarely on the former president. It also recommends barring Mr Trump from public office in the future. He did not co-operate with the panel and declared the final report a "witch hunt" after its release. (bbc, 22 dec, 2022)

Kenneth Chesebro

Kenneth John Chesebro (born 1961) is an American attorney and felon. He was indicted in 2023 by the state of Georgia in connection with the Trump fake electors plot, a plan to alter the results of the 2020 election for US president.

He has testified before the US House of Representatives regarding his actions.

On October 20, 2023, he pleaded guilty to one felony count of "conspiracy to commit filing false documents" as part of a plea bargain deal, and was sentenced to 5 years of probation, $5,000 in restitution and 100 hours of community service.

28 Dec 2023

The emails and recordings also indicate that a top Trump campaign lawyer was part of 11th-hour discussions about delivering the fake elector certificates to Pence, potentially undercutting his testimony to the House select committee that investigated January 6 that he had passed off responsibility and didn’t want to put the former vice president in a difficult spot.

These details largely come from pro-Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who was an architect of the fake electors plot and is now a key cooperator in several state probes into the scheme.

Chesebro pleaded guilty in October to a felony conspiracy charge in Georgia in connection with the electors’ plan, and has met with prosecutors in Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, who are investigating the sham GOP electors in their own states.

**Holding the Line**: Inside the Nation’s Preeminent US Attorney’s Office and Its Battle with the Trump Justice Department”  by Geoffrey Berman - Penguin Random House, 2022.

Berman describes the episode in which Barr summoned him to Manhattan’s Pierre hotel, “a swanky place where even standard rooms can cost a thousand bucks a night or more.” Barr told Berman that he wanted to replace him at the Southern District of New York with Jay Clayton, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Barr even offered Berman a job he apparently thought would be an enticing sweetener — head of the DOJ’s Civil Division, which represents the United States in all civil lawsuits, a big job, but far from the criminal fray. With that job, Barr told Berman, he could “attract clients and build a book of business” for whenever Berman left the DOJ for the private sector. Only after offering him the job did Barr ask whether Berman had any experience in civil law, revealing that the attorney general was not always concerned withthe best interests of the department he was entrusted to lead.

## The entry into the campaign, May 2023

Ron DeSantis’s long-awaited **official entry into the 2024 presidential campaign** went haywire at its start last night during a glitch-filled livestream over Twitter that was marred by technical problems and dead air. The audio cut in and out amid talk of “melting the servers,” hot mic whispering and on-the-spot troubleshooting. Despite the problems, DeSantis, the combative 44-year-old Republican governor of Florida who has championed conservative causes and thrown a yearslong flurry of punches at America’s left, provides Donald Trump the most formidable Republican rival he has faced since his ascent in 2016. His candidacy comes at a pivotal moment for the Republican Party, which must choose between aligning once more behind Mr. Trump — who lost in 2020 and continues to rage falsely about a stolen election — or uniting around a new challenger to take on President Biden.

## Trump attacks judge as he rallies for support

Nada Tawfik for BBC News:

Donald Trump today began attacking the judge assigned to his case, as he attempts to undermine the credibility of the investigation and rally his base to his defence.

Judge Juan Merchan has presided over two cases of interest to Trump and the former president didn't like the outcome of either.

One was the Trump Organization's tax fraud trial, in which a jury found his namesake company guilty on 17 counts, including falsifying business records.

In a related case, Trump's former chief financial officer pleaded guilty to his role in the tax scheme as part of a deal with prosecutors.

Trump has complained about how his long-time employee was treated.

Earlier this year, Allen Weisselberg was led out of his sentencing hearing in handcuffs and transported to Rikers Island jail to serve his five-month sentence.

In a message posted online today, Trump accused the judge, without evidence, of strong-arming his CFO to accept the plea deal and of treating his (Trumps) company viciously. (March 31, 2023)

* de: Bradford Jay Raffensperger (\* 18. Mai 1955) ist ein amerikanischer Politiker der Republikaner. Er ist der Secretary of State (vergleichbar einem Innenminister) des Bundesstaates Georgia.

Die *Washington Post* veröffentlichte einen Mitschnitt des etwa einstündigen Gesprächs, wonach Trump behauptete, Raffensperger mache sich, nach seiner Einschätzung, einer Straftat schuldig, wenn er gegen einen vermeintlichen Wahlbetrug nicht vorgehe. Im Artikel der *Washington Post* hieß es, das „umherschweifende und teilweise unzusammenhängende Gespräch“ zeige, wie „besessen und verzweifelt“ Trump angesichts seiner Wahlniederlage sei. Trump glaube noch immer, dass er das Ergebnis in genügend Staaten ändern könne, um sich eine zweite Amtszeit zu sichern. Präsident Trump reichte Klage gegen Brad Raffensperger ein. Raffensperger gewann im Mai 2022 die republikanische Vorwahl gegen einen von Trump unterstützten Kandidaten. (Mit ref.)

Removal of the speaker - Oct. 04, 2023

Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives voted 216 to 210 yesterday to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his leadership position.

The vote was instigated by a group (8 persons) of hard-line Republican Party members, and it was the first time in modern history of the House of Representatives that such a vote passed.

The House speaker is next in line of succession for the presidency after the vice president.

The effort to oust the speaker, led by Rep. **Matt Gaetz**, was incited by McCarthy’s reliance last weekend on Democrats to pass a temporary spending bill to keep the government open until mid-November.

The rebellion prompted an extraordinary Republican-against-Republican debate on the House floor over McCarthy’s future before the final vote.

now

There is no clear replacement for McCarthy, and the vacancy essentially paralyzes the House until one is chosen, according to several procedural experts.

The House and the Senate must pass appropriations bills to fund the federal government before mid-November or there will be a shutdown.

Background
In January, McCarthy made concessions to hard-line conservatives to get elected as speaker, allowing any member to move to vacate the position — virtually assuring that it would occur.

Related
The move by Gaetz has drawn attention to a long-running House ethics investigation against him involving allegations that he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, among other accusations.

Fraud by real estate company declarations

Donald Trump's **real estate company** has been fined $1.6m (£1.31m) by a New York judge for tax crimes.

Jurors had found the Trump Organization guilty of fraud and falsifying business records in December. The company is synonymous with the former president, but neither he nor his family were part of the trial.

The only person charged in the scheme was the company's former chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg. Mr Trump still faces legal trouble, including a separate **New York lawsuit against him and his children** over allegations of fraud. Two subsidiaries of the Trump Organization - Trump Corp and Trump Payroll Corp - were found guilty by a New York jury of enriching its top executives with untaxed benefits, like luxury cars and private school fees, for 15 years. These benefits made up for lower salaries, prosecutors argued, and therefore reduced the amount of tax the business was required to pay.

It is the first-ever criminal conviction of one of Mr Trump's companies.

german: **Falsche Angaben zum Immobilienvermögen?**

Donald Trump wird am 13. April 2023 für eine erneute Aussage bei der Generalstaatsanwaltschaft in New York erwartet. Das teilte der Ex-US-Präsident bei seinem sozialen Netzwerk Truth Social mit.

Dabei geht es um die Bewertung von Vermögensgegenständen in den Immobiliengesellschaften der Trump-Familie. Verklagt werden dabei neben dem Ex-Präsidenten auch seine Söhne Donald Jr. und Eric Trump|Eric]] sowie seine Tochter Ivanka Trump|Ivanka]].

Trumps neue/heutige Aussage soll nicht im Kontext des Verfahrens um Schweigegeldzahlungen an die Pornodarstellerin Stormy Daniels erfolgen. Trump war am 30. März als erster ehemaliger Präsident in der US-Geschichte in insgesamt 34 Punkten persönlich angeklagt worden.

Waren finanzielle Angaben unkorrekt?

In dem neuen Fall geht es um jährliche Angaben zur finanziellen Lage von 2011 bis 2021. Den Vorwürfen der New Yorker Generalstaatsanwältin James zufolge soll die Trump-Familie ihre Finanzen je nach Bedarf größer oder kleiner gerechnet haben, um so beispielsweise einfacher an Kredite zu kommen oder um weniger Steuern zu zahlen.

Doug Mastriano

Pennsylvania Republican state Senator **Doug Mastriano** shared a similar version of the claim on Twitter that also confused primary data and data from the general election, the Associated Press reported.

“The problem is that Mastriano threw out this number and what he did was he mixed apples and oranges,” Barr testified. “He took the number of applications for the Republican primary and he compared it to the number of absentee votes cast in the general election. But once you actually go and look and compare apples to apples, there's no discrepancy at all."

“I think at some point I covered that with the president,” William Barr added.

Manhattan Properties revoked

28 Sept. 2023

A judge’s **ruling** means for Trump’s empire:

Donald Trump could lose his grip on three flagship Manhattan properties after a state judge ruled that he had persistently committed fraud by inflating the value of his assets.
The judge sided with New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, who had brought a civil case against the former president.

As a punishment, the judge effectively **revoked Trump’s licenses to operate those properties** — and potentially an even broader swath of the family business that the former president built over the last half-century. The ruling left much of his New York operation hanging in the balance.

Judge Tanya Chutkan rejected arguments: Separately, the judge overseeing Trump’s trial on charges of seeking to overturn the 2020 election denied his attempt to disqualify her from the casefor supposedly being biased against him.

Insurrection

Insurrection - This cr**ime relates to inciting, assisting, or engaging "in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States**."

The House Committee argued that Mr Trump encouraged his supporters to come to Washington and cause havoc, and as the attack was going on, failed to take appropriate action to end the violence.

How the committee's final meeting unfolded
What it means for Trump legally and politically

With the House of Representatives switching to Republican control in January, this is likely the culmination of the committee's work.
The committee cannot charge Mr Trump or his associates themselves, and the justice department is not obligated to follow the committee's referrals.
As part of the justice department's own inquiry, Attorney General Merrick Garland recently appointed a special counsel, Jack Smith, to handle the case.
It is yet not clear if they will ultimately indict Mr Trump; doing so would be a historic move, made more consequential by the fact that Mr Trump is once again running for president.

The former Trump White House **chief of staff Mark Meadows** (born July 28, 1959). A Tea Party Republican, Meadows was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus. During his time in Congress, he was one of the most conservative Republican lawmakers. He is suing the House select committee on the January 6 Attack and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asking a federal court to block enforcement of the subpoena the committee issued him as well as the subpoena it issued to Verizon for his phone records, according to the complaint filed Wednesday.

The lawsuit comes after the committee signaled it would pursue a criminal contempt referralagainst Meadows because of his refusal to sit for a deposition in the investigation into the Capitol riot. Meadows alleges that the subpoenas are "overly broad and unduly burdensome," while claiming that the committee "lacks lawful authority to seek and to obtain" the information requested.
