Trump’s lawyer expects to make motion to dismiss charges

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:16:34 GMT

Joe Tacopina, one of former President Donald Trump’s lawyers, said Sunday that he eventually expects to move to dismiss the charges against the former president.“I very much anticipate a motion to dismiss coming because there’s no law that fits this,” Tacopina told Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.”Trump was indicted Thursday by a Manhattan grand jury in a case related to hush money his lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid to porn actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The exact charges against the former president have yet to be unveiled.The move to dismiss the charges against Trump won’t come until after his arraignment Tuesday, Tacopina said.“We’re not doing anything at the arraignment because that would be showmanship and nothing more because we haven’t even seen the indictment yet.”“We will take the indictment. We will dissect it. The team will look at every — every — potential issue that we will be able to challenge and we will challenge,” he added.

(CNN) — Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has announced that he’s running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, launching a challenge to former President Donald Trump, who remains the front-runner despite his looming criminal indictment.“I’m convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America, and not simply appeal to our worst instincts,” Hutchinson, 72, said in an interview on ABC New that aired Sunday, noting that a formal announcement would come later this month in his hometown of Bentonville, Arkansas.The GOP primary field is still in its early stages. Trump announced a third presidential campaign last year, while Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and US ambassador to the United Nations, became the first major rival to challenge him when she announced her bid in February. A number of other Republicans, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence, have...

With Bam Adebayo out, Heat may have found their next big things

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:16:34 GMT

No, the Miami Heat were not the big story in South Florida basketball on Saturday night, not with the emotional ends of the season for the University of Miami and Florida Atlantic University at the NCAA Final Four.But there still was a big story for the Heat in a season that now is assured of rolling on beyond the April 9 end of the NBA regular season.On a night center Bam Adebayo was unable to go because of a hip contusion, the Heat found salvation and redemption by alternate means in their power mix in their victory over the Dallas Mavericks, steps forward that could yet solidify the team’s rotation going into the postseason.With Adebayo out, amid uncertainty of where he stands for the team’s final four regular-season games, veteran journeyman Cody Zeller moved into the starting lineup and produced a 20-point, eight- rebound game.In addition, Kevin Love then stepped back into the reserve role in which he thrived last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers and led the Heat...

OCEANSIDE, Calif. -- Registered nurses at Tri-City Medical Center gathered outside the Oceanside hospital on Friday to demand that women and newborn services remain open, as the Board of Directors reconsiders the recently underutilized department.This comes as the department has seen a decline in referrals of pregnant patients to Tri-City, prompting the board to re-evaluate the department's financial viability. At the rally and board meeting Friday, nurses who work in the department -- which is made up of the neonatal intensive care, labor and delivery and postpartum units -- voiced their concerns about shuttering these crucial services to hospital management. EPA gives green-light to phase out diesel-powered semi-trucks in California “Save our unit, we are important,” said NICU nurse, Marinnee Schompe. “We are not just a part that we can be replaced easily. I feel like we are important enough to maintain us."But with decreased deliveries over the last few years, Tri-City Interim ...

More Ecuadorians move to US, spared many others’ hurdles

SPRING VALLEY, New York (AP) — Kléver Ortega and Cristina Lema had a good life until COVID-19 crippled Ecuador’s economy.Ortega was a house-painting contractor and there was work until demand dried up in the pandemic. The entrepreneurial couple launched a pair of food stands. “Then the pandemic hit those, too,” Lema said. With unemployment, instability and crime rising, they decided to leave for the U.S., following many friends, family and acquaintances.“We used to hear it in the street: ‘They left. Look who else abandoned their business and took off,’” Lema said. “That’s when we, too, told ourselves, ‘We aren’t earning enough to survive or pay debts.’”Ecuador — long known for remarkably low rates of crime, despite sitting in South America’s cocaine heartland — is earthquake-prone and has been struggling economically, fighting higher violence and losing its people in record numbers. Like Ortega and Lema, many are headed to the U.S.; the number of Ecuadorians detained near the border...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:16:34 GMT

A man making a film based on his experiences living in Northern Canada in the early 1970s has found an unusual way to work on his project while travelling in the region.Johnathan Zoesman converted a Tesla into a travelling film studio and drove the electric vehicle from his home in Petersburgh, N.Y., all the way to the Arctic Ocean in the middle of winter. He had taken photos where the story took place five decades ago and spoke to people along the journey.“The Tesla seemed like the perfect thing to do it in,” he said. “I wasn’t going to arrive into the world as a great filmmaker in an old beater. If I was going to arrive it would be in a self-driving car.”Zoesman said his film centres on the “very intense and tragic love story” between himself and his late partner, Maggie Goldberg, after they moved to the North from Quebec.“This was the late ’60s, early ’70s, and we were just so disappointed in the world that we lived in,&...
