Nah, blame Hillary.

A Michigan judge effectively killed a lawsuit claiming there was fraud in Antrim County's 2020 election results.

The decision to grant no addition relief by 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer, made during a Zoom hearing, marks another loss for former President Donald Trump and his allies, who claim votes were intentionally switched in the November contest but have been roundly defeated in court cases around the country.

The New York attorney general's office says it is investigating the Trump Organization "in a criminal capacity".

A spokesman for the state's top prosecutor, Letitia James, said the inquiry into Mr Trump's property company was "no longer purely civil".

Ms James has been scrutinising the ex-Republican president's financial dealings before he took office.

The Trumps deny wrongdoing and say the inquiry by a Democratic prosecutor is a political vendetta.

Ms James' spokesman, Fabien Levy, told the BBC on Tuesday: "We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the Organization is no longer purely civil in nature.

"We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA. We have no additional comment."

The statement did not say what turned the inquiry from civil to criminal in nature, or whether the former president himself might be personally implicated in any allegations.

How do Republican congressmen career, er swamp politicians lie so easily, in the face of overwhelming evidence ?

Occasionally I call these correctly... I've been saying since the election to wait until at least May before any results are forthcoming. This is a large and convoluted investigation and it needs to be done properly. So for those who were expecting him to be arrested as soon as he left the White House: patience. :^p

Patience is a bit more difficult now, considering a pandemic and an insurrection.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York prosecutors have convened a special grand jury to consider evidence in a criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s business dealings, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The development signals that the Manhattan district attorney’s office was moving toward seeking charges as a result of its two-year investigation, which included a lengthy legal battle to obtain Trump’s tax records.

Donald Trump's communications platform ['blog'] has been permanently shut down, his spokesperson told CNBC. "It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on," senior aide Jason Miller said.

The platform, titled From the Desk of Donald J Trump, launched last month and served as a way for the former president to publish his own content including press releases and videos.

Facebook is slated to announced that the social media platform will end a policy that largely shielded politicians from repercussions when they violated the site's hate speech rules, a person familiar with the decision told The Washington Post.

Facebook could announce the change as soon as Friday, according to The Verge, the first outlet to report the news.

The company will no longer value the newsworthiness of a post over its hate speech guidelines. When it does keep a post up due to its newsworthiness, the company will make the decision public, according to the Post.

The move comes after the Oversight Board said the “same rules should apply to all users” after deciding that former President Trump should remain suspended from the platform for violating its content moderation guidelines.
