New indictment filed against Trump for role in Jan. 6 riot

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS NOW FACING A REVIVED AND RE-WORKED FEDERAL INDICTMENT ACCUSING TRUMP OF INTERFERING WITH 2020 ELECTION. 

THE REVISED CHARGING DOCUMENT KEEPS THE SAME CRIMINAL CHARGES — BUT NARROWS THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST TRUMP. 

THE NEW FILING IS MEANT TO COMPLY WITH THE SUPREME COURT’S RULING FROM JULY THAT PRESIDENTS HAVE “BROAD IMMUNITY” FOR **OFFICIAL ACTS WHILE IN OFFICE. 

SO SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH’S NEW INDICTMENT REVOLVES AROUND ALLEGATIONS RELATED SOLELY TO THE ACTIONS TRUMP TOOK AS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN 2020 — NOT AS PRESIDENT — IN A **PERSONAL AND **UNOFFICIAL CAPACITY. 

TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM TELLING NEWS OUTLETS THIS LATEST INDICTMENT IS NOT A SURPRISE TO THEM — 

AND IT DOESN’T CHANGE THEIR POSITION THAT THE CASE SHOULD BE DISMISSED. 

TRUMP’S LAWYERS ARE EXPECTED TO ASK FOR MORE TIME TO REVIEW THE CASE. 

TRUMP’S RUNNING MATE WAS ASKED ABOUT THESE LATEST CHARGES WHILE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TUESDAY. 

TRUMP’S RUNNING MATE — OHIO SENATOR J-D- VANCE — ECHOED THAT SENTIMENT TO REPORTERS WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT TUESDAY. 

SEN. JD VANCE | (R-OH) VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE 

“It looks like Jack Smith doing more what he does, which is filing these absurd lawsuits in an effort to influence the election. I mean, the one thing that I did see, which I felt was just classic lipstick on a pig is, you know, of course, the reason the Supreme Court threw out his lawsuit is because they said it implicated the president’s official acts, of course, which the President has immunity in conducting those official acts.”

ON TUESDAY — 

A KENTUCKY MAN WHO WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO ENTER THE U-S CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6-TH WAS SENTENCED TO MORE THAN FOUR YEARS IN PRISON ON TUESDAY. 

47 YEAR OLD MICHAEL SPARKS JUMPED INTO THE CAPITOL BUILDING THROUGH A BROKEN WINDOW. 

A POLICE OFFICER WHO TRIED TO SUBDUE SPARKS WITH PEPPER SPRAY DESCRIBED HIM “AS A CATALYST”. 

THE SENATE HAD CALLED FOR A RECESS JUST ONE MINUTE BEFORE SPARKS WAS ABLE TO ENTER THE BUILDING. 

THE JUDGE WHO SENTENCES SPARKS TO FOUR YEARS AND FIVE MONTHS CALLED HIS ACTIONS “A NATIONAL DISGRACE.” 

SPARKS HIMSELF BEFORE LEARNING OF HIS SENTENCING TOLD THE JUDGE HE STILL BELIEVES THE 2020 ELECTION WAS TAINTED WITH FRAUD AND SAID HE IS REMORSEFUL THAT WHAT TRANSPIRED THAT DAY DIDN’T HELP ANYBODY. 

MORE THAN 14 HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH JANUARY 6-TH RELATED FEDERAL CRIMES.

WE REPORTED YESTERDAY ABOUT A HOSTAGE TAKEN BY HAMAS BEING SUCCESSFULLY RESCUED BY THE THE ISRAELI MILITARY IN A “COMPLEX OPERATION.” 

AND NOW WE’RE HEARING WHAT THE HOSTAGE HAD TO SAY AFTER BEING FREED. 

THE FREED HOSTAGE, QAID FARHAN ALKADI, WAS REPORTED TO BE IN ‘NORMAL’ HEALTH FOLLOWING THE HIGH STAKES RESCUE MISSION. 

FOOTAGE RELEASED BY THE MILITARY SHOWS ALKADI SMILING AND INTERACTING WITH IDF FORCES, AS WELL AS WITH FAMILY AND MEDICAL STAFF AT AN ISRAELI HOSPITAL. 

ALKADI LATER SHARED WITH ISRAELI PRESIDENT ISAAC HERZOG THAT THE OTHER HOSTAGES ARE QUOTE ‘SUFFERING.’ 

THE IDF SAYS IT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE AND RESCUE ALKADI FROM **UNDERGROUND DUE TO EXTENSIVE INTELLIGENCE EFFORTS. 

THE HOSTAGES AND MISSING FAMILIES FORUM STATED THAT ALKADI, AGED 52, HAD MANAGED TO FREE HIMSELF BEFORE TROOPS COMPLETED THE RESCUE OPERATION. 

DURING THE HAMAS-LED ATTACK, APPROXIMATELY 250 INDIVIDUALS WERE TAKEN HOSTAGE. CURRENTLY, OVER 100 HOSTAGES ARE STILL BELIEVED TO BE IN THE HANDS OF MILITANTS, BUT MANY ARE FEARED TO ALREADY BE DEAD.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARE INVESTIGATING AFTER TWO WORKERS WERE KILLED AND ANOTHER SERIOUSLY HURT TUESDAY IN A TIRE EXPLOSION AT A DELTA AIR LINES MAINTENANCE FACILITY NEAR THE ATLANTA AIRPORT. 

DELTA SAID THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED WHILE WHEEL COMPONENTS WERE BEING TAKEN APART FOR MAINTENANCE AND WERE *NOT* ATTACHED TO A PLANE AT THE TIME. 

THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET. 

DELTA RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING IT IS “HEARTBROKEN AT THE LOSS OF ITS TEAM MEMBERS. 

OSHA IS INVESTIGATING THE DEADLY INCIDENT.

A NEW HAMPSHIRE MAN HAS DIED AFTER CONTRACTING A MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS. 

FAMILY MEMBERS SAY THE 41-YEAR-OLD WAS HOSPITALIZED WITH EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS — BETTER KNOWN AS E-E-E — AND DIED WITHIN A WEEK. 

HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY E-E-E CAN CAUSE FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS INCLUDING FEVER, CHILLS, MUSCLE ACHES AND JOINT PAIN… AND ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF PEOPLE WHO DEVELOP E-E-E DIE FROM THEIR INFECTION. 

THERE IS NO VACCINE OR SPECIFIC TREATMENT FOR E-E-E. 

THE C-D-C HAS *CONFIRMED* E-E-E CASES IN FOUR STATES SO FAR THIS YEAR — WISCONSIN, MASSACHUSETTS, VERMONT, AND NEW JERSEY.

OVERNIGHT, A-T-AND-T CUSTOMERS REPORTED SERVICE OUTAGES WITH SOME LOCAL EMERGENCY OFFICIALS SAYING THE ISSUE HAD AFFECTED THE ABILITY TO CALL 9-1-1. 

THE SERVICE OUTAGE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME CUSTOMERS TO ACCESS THEIR MOBILE DATA, SEND TEXT MESSAGES OR MAKE CALLS. 

AT&T HAS NOT SAID HOW MANY OF ITS CUSTOMERS WERE IMPACTED BY THE OUTAGE. 

BUT IF YOU WERE ONE OF THOSE CUSTOMERS WHO SAW THEIR PHONE OUT OF SERVICE OVERNIGHT — AT&T SAYS THE “SOFTWARE ISSUE” THAT CAUSED THE OUTAGE HAS SINCE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.
