Trump Goes Looney Over 'Sleazebag' Charlamagne Tha God's Epstein & GOP Coup Remarks On Fox News
There might be some tension at Mar-a-lago next time Lara Trump comes to visit. Donald Trump's daughter-in-law's interview Saturday on her Fox News show with Charlamagne Tha God has really gotten under POTUS' thin and artificially tanned skin – and The Breakfast Club co-host is lovin' it. More from Deadline Senate Confirms Jeanine Pirro To Serve As U.S. Attorney For D.C. 50 Cent Gloats As Trump Nixes Pardon For "Half-Innocent" Diddy, For Now Sydney Sweeney American Eagle Ad Addressed By Clothing Company Amidst Partisan Uproar Also linking to an old clip from the Daily Show and Lara Trump's My View, Charlamagne himself reposted the unhinged post that the elder Trump put up early today calling the MAGA critic and member of the loyal opposition a 'a Low IQ individual,' a 'racist sleazebag,' and everything else under the sun. Taking yet another swipe at Joe Biden and now non-California gubernatorial candidate Kamala Harris plus the CAA-repped God's moniker, Trump unloaded by declaring the well-informed Charlamagne 'has no idea what words are coming out of his mouth and knows nothing about me or what I have done.' Mixing lower case and upper-case text, and making it very clear to every professional and amateur psychiatrist that a nerve or two had been struck, Trump then proceeded to further attack Charlamagne and list off a series of his own perceived accomplishments. As has been clear the last month or so since the Department of Justice ignited the MAGA base in outrage by reneging on Trump's promise to release the fabled files on his old pal deceased sex offender Jeffery Epstein, any mention of the pedophile millionaire drives POTUS nutso – even more so when it is on Fox News. While the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal has been dropping scoop after scoop the past few weeks on just how very close Trump and Epstein seemed to be, the Australian nonagenarian's cable news network has barely mentioned the scandal or the MAGA civil war that has erupted. Invited on to express his 'different viewpoint,' in Lara Trump's words, Charlamagne changed that this weekend and pointed to possible Trumpless future – as you can see here: 'I think traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back,' he told the younger Trump on FNC on August 2. 'I think there's a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren't paying attention to. I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back, I really do.' Charlamagne added: 'They know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The MAGA base isn't letting this issue go, and for the first time, they know they can probably take their party back and not piss off the MAGA base. Rubbing even a little more salt on to the 79-year-old Trump, whose polls are cratering as his authoritarian approach ramps up, Charlamagne also recommended Jon Stewart run for POTUS in 2028 and that he would also vote for former Veep Harris again. Tune in to the Breakfast Club tomorrow – it should be even more fun that usual.

Comer agrees to postpone Maxwell's testimony to House on Epstein
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) agreed Friday to a request from Ghislaine Maxwell to delay deposing her until after the Supreme Court considers her petition to overturn her conviction for sex trafficking. Comer, however, declined requests from an attorney for Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, to grant her immunity or to send her questions in advance. Pursuant to a motion that garnered bipartisan support in the committee last month, Comer had subpoenaed Maxwell for a deposition to occur at Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee on Aug. 11 — though she was quietly moved to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas, a Bureau of Prisons official confirmed Friday. 'Your testimony is vital to the Committee's efforts regarding Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, including the 2007 non-prosecution agreement and the circumstances surrounding Mr. Epstein's Death,' Comer said in a letter to Maxwell on Friday. 'These investigative efforts may be used to inform potential legislation to improve federal efforts to combat sex trafficking and reform the use of non-prosecution agreements and/or plea agreements in sex-crime investigations.' Maxwell's attorney David Oscar Markus wrote to the committee Monday seeking to delay the interview until after the Supreme Court weighs Maxwell's petition. Comer agreed to the delay: 'On July 30, the U.S. Supreme Court noticed that your petition for writ of certiorari will be considered at its conference on September 29. In light of this notice, the Committee is willing to delay your deposition until a date following the Court's certiorari determination,' he wrote. Comer then rejected the immunity request. 'The Committee is unwilling to grant you congressional immunity pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 6005 at this time. Further, while the Committee is unwilling to send you questions in advance, the Committee will continue its long-standing practice of engaging in forthright and detailed discussions about scoping,' Comer wrote. In her appeal to the Supreme Court, Maxwell argues her conviction violates a nonprosecution agreement Epstein signed with federal prosecutors in 2007. Lower courts previously ruled the agreement applied only to the Southern District of Florida and not the New York district where Maxwell was sentenced. Maxwell last week sat for a two-day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Markus, Maxwell's attorney, said that it was a 'thorough, comprehensive interview' and that 'no person and no topic were off-limits.' He added, 'The truth will come out.'

Michael Cardozo, 84, New York City's longest-serving chief lawyer, dies
'Some people thought I was going to be a lawyer from the day I was born,' he told Advertisement From 1996 to 1998, Cardozo served as president of the New York City Bar Association, which was established in 1870 to ferret out corruption in the court system. One of its first investigations led to the resignation of Albert Cardozo, a state Supreme Court justice who was Benjamin Cardozo's father. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Michael Cardozo was a partner at Proskauer Rose (formerly Proskauer, Rose, Goetz & Mendelsohn) when he was appointed as the city's corporation counsel by Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2002. He stepped down in 2014, returning to Proskauer after setting a record for longevity in that municipal role, which was established in 1839. As corporation counsel, Cardozo presided over almost 700 lawyers, who juggled a caseload of some 80,000 lawsuits and other legal matters at the city's Law Department. Advertisement As the city government's top lawyer, he successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2007 that the federal courts could resolve disputes between localities and foreign governments over delinquent property taxes. The case, Permanent Mission of India v. City of New York, involved the Indian and Mongolian missions to the United Nations in New York. Cardozo successfully oversaw the case in which a federal judge ruled in 2009 that legislation by the City Council enabled Bloomberg to seek a third term, despite limits imposed by the city charter. He also defended the Police Department's stop-and-frisk strategy, whose critics said it disproportionately singled out Black and Hispanic men (the tactics were ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge in 2013). He defended a city policy of inspecting carry-on bags in the subway; argued in favor of a provision that would have allowed the city to borrow $2.5 billion to pay off 1970s-era debt; and argued, again successfully, for the city's right to impose smoking bans in bars and restaurants as well as additional gun controls. In 2019, back at Proskauer, Cardozo represented Judith Clark, the getaway driver in a 1981 robbery of a Brink's armored car in Rockland County, New York, in her efforts to win parole after serving 37 years in prison. She won the case. Cardozo retired from the law firm in 2022, a month after Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York named him to the state ethics commission. In a recent statement on Instagram, Bloomberg said he had recruited Cardozo 'not only for his sharp legal acumen, but also for his unassailable integrity and lifelong commitment to the city's civic health.' Michael Alan Cardozo was born June 28, 1941, in Manhattan. His mother, Lucile (Lebair) Cardozo, was a school administrator; his father, Harmon Cardozo, was a real estate executive. Advertisement Cardozo grew up on the West Side of Manhattan and in Westport, Connecticut. After graduating from Staples High School in Westport, he earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Brown University in 1963 and a Juris Doctor degree from Columbia Law School in 1966. He went on to clerk for Judge Edward C. McLean of U.S. District Court in Manhattan and then joined Proskauer in 1967; he became a partner in 1974. When David Stern, a law school classmate who was also a partner at the firm, was named commissioner of the NBA in 1984, Cardozo began representing the NBA, and later MLS and the NHL as well. In 2002, as the city's new corporation counsel, Cardozo inherited a department that was scattered in dozens of locations after being displaced the year before by the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, which was a block from the main office. At the Law Department, he created new divisions that focused on volunteer work and specialized in labor law and other issues, and he refused to settle suits against the city that were deemed frivolous. 'We certainly want to send the message,' he told The New York Times in 2013, 'that if you don't bring what we view to be a meritorious case, you're going to have a big battle on your hands.' During his time with the Law Department, the city settled a number of lawsuits involving police abuse and also defended against challenges to the beefed-up security it imposed after the 9/11 attack. Reflecting on his tenure as the city's chief legal officer, Cardozo told students at Columbia Law School in a 2014 lecture that in defending or enforcing existing laws on behalf of the city, he was sometimes compelled to take a stance that he may have disagreed with personally. One example, he said, was when the city appealed a court ruling declaring that the state's prohibition on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. Advertisement In addition to his daughter Sheryl, Cardozo is survived by his wife, Nancy (Cogut) Cardozo, whom he married in 1965; another daughter, Hedy Cardozo; and three grandchildren. Cardozo was particularly focused on the judicial system. He lobbied for higher pay for judges, who were overworked, he said. (At one point, he was a member of the New York State Commission on Legislative, Judicial and Executive Compensation.) And he expressed frustration with the court system over what he called its repeated delays in trial decisions. In 2009, he said publicly that the 'entire culture' of the judicial system 'must be changed' to 'improve judicial accountability and, with it, judicial performance.' For those comments, he was rebuked in a letter published in The New York Law Journal and signed by 18 of 20 state Supreme Court justices. In an online tribute after Cardozo's death, Bret Parker, the executive director of the New York City Bar Association, singled out Cardozo's 'long-standing commitment to the rule of law and tireless advocacy for an independent judiciary.'
