Theodore Malcolm Edgecomb is charged with 1st-Degree Reckless Homicide with a dangerous weapon, felony bail jumping, and misdemeanor bail jumping in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Online court records show that the jury trial against Edgecomb, 31, is scheduled for January 3, 2022.
Some members of the Milwaukee community have held a rally in support of Edgecomb.
Edgecomb’s criminal history becomes relevant due to the bail jumping charges, although it won’t factor in to his claims of self-defense, which revolve around assessing what happened in the seconds before he fired and whether his belief that he was in danger was reasonable.
District Court for the District of Columbia on multiple charges arising from his consulting work for the pro-Russian government of Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine before Yanukovych's overthrow in 2014. The indictment came at the request of Robert Mueller 's Special Counsel investigation. In June 2018, additional charges were filed against Manafort for obstruction of justice and witness tampering that are alleged to have occurred while he was under house arrest, and he was ordered to jail.
The Trump–Russia dossier, also known as the Steele dossier, is a private intelligence report comprising investigation memos written between June and December 2016 by Christopher Steele. Manafort is a major figure mentioned in the Trump–Russia dossier, where allegations are made about Manafort's relationships and actions toward the Trump campaign, Russia, Ukraine, and Viktor Yanukovych. The dossier claims: 1 that "the Republican candidate's campaign manager, Paul MANAFORT" had "managed" the "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation between [the Trump campaign] and the Russian leadership," and that he used "foreign policy adviser, Carter PAGE, and others as intermediaries." (Dossier, p. 7) 2 that Yanukovych told Putin he had been making untraceable " kick-back payments" to Manafort, who was Trump's campaign manager at the time. (Dossier, p. 20)
The US government asked the court to set Manafort's bail at $10 million and Gates at $5 million. The court placed Manafort and Gates under house arrest after prosecutors described them as flight risks. If convicted on all charges, Manafort could face decades in prison.
In May 2017, in response to a request of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), Manafort submitted over "300 pages of documents ... included drafts of speeches, calendars and notes from his time on the campaign" to the Committee "related to its investigation of Russian election meddling." On July 25, he met privately with the committee.
In August 2018, he stood trial in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and was convicted on eight charges of tax and bank fraud. Manafort was next prosecuted on ten other charges, but this effort ended in a mistrial with Manafort later admitting his guilt.
Released from federal prison to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. Paul John Manafort Jr. ( / ˈmænəfɔːrt /; born April 1, 1949) is an American former lobbyist, political consultant, and attorney.
Manafort negotiated a $10 million annual contract with Deripaska to promote Russian interests in politics, business, and media coverage in Europe and the United States, starting in 2005. A witness at Manafort's 2018 trial for fraud and tax evasion testified that Deripaska loaned Manafort $10 million in 2010, which to her knowledge was never repaid.
Meanwhile, Blassingame, who had been ordered to move from his original post and was already inside the Capitol, was corralled on the first floor by “enraged” and “inflamed” insurrectionists who chanted “It’s our right!” and “Our house!” according to the suit. The mob threw items at Blassingame and the other officers and struck them with their fists and weapons, including flagpoles and stanchions. “The threats and attacks on Officer Blassingame seemed endless,” the suit states. Then, a surge of insurrectionists pushed forward and slammed Blassingame against a stone column, he said. He struck his spine and the back of his head and was unable to move.
Perhaps most crucially, Weisselberg has testified about Trump matters in the past, in exchange for personal protection; in 2018, he was granted federal immunity to provide information concerning the hush-money payments made to Stormy Daniels.
According to the suit, Blassingame suffered injuries to his head and back and, over the next several months, experienced depression and guilt for not being able to help other colleagues.
Hemby suffered injuries to his left hand, left knee, back, and neck and is in physical therapy two to three times a week; as is the case with Blassingame, Hemby says he’s still experiencing emotional trauma from the events set into motion by Trump.
In addition to the developments in the Manhattan D.A.’s criminal probe, Trump was also sued on Tuesday by two Capitol Police officers who battled the angry mob he sicced on the Capitol building and are demanding damages for the physical and emotional injuries they suffered during the attack. In the federal lawsuit, officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby claim that for months Trump whipped his supporters into a frenzy over baseless election claims which culminated in the insurrection that left five people dead.
The crowd, which was aggressive and outnumbered the officers, then chased Hemby and his colleagues to the top of the stairs and forced them against the door, the suit states. Hemby attempted to hold the insurrectionists back but they crushed him against the door, he said.
Tuesday’s ruling means that Mr. Trump could be questioned under oath for the lawsuit. In 2018, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Jennifer Schecter had ruled that a deposition of Mr. Trump and other evidence gathering could move forward.
16 that prosecutors needed only to prove that Mr. Kiriakou had “reason to believe” that the information he disclosed could be used to harm the country, not that he had intended to damage national security.
In 2010, Justice Department officials overruled a recommendation by its ethics office to sanction for professional misconduct the Bush-era lawyers who wrote those memos, and decided not to charge C.I.A. officials for destroying interrogation videotapes.
Judge Brinkema will hold a hearing to sentence Mr. Kiriakou on Jan. 25. She noted that the proposed 30-month term was the same time that I. Lewis Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, received in connection with the investigation into the disclosure of the identity of another C.I.A. official, Valerie Plame Wilson.
In 2006, during the Bush administration, David A. Passaro , a former civilian contractor for the C.I.A., was convicted of beating an Afghan prisoner with a two-foot metal flashlight while interrogating him; the man later died.
Jesselyn Radack, who described Mr. Kiriakou as a whistle-blower and who worked with him through the Government Accountability Project, a nonprofit advocacy group, said he took the deal to ensure that he would be in a position to watch his children grow up.
The case was assigned to Patrick J. Fitzgerald, then the United States attorney in Chicago, who had led the investigation in Ms. Wilson’s case. He eventually cleared the defense lawyers and a researcher working with them of any wrongdoing.
In a statement to employees of the C.I.A. on Tuesday, the director of the agency, David H. Petraeus, hailed the guilty plea as the first successful prosecution under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act in 27 years, calling it “an important victory” for the intelligence community.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: “We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal.
From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996.
He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.
The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching.
President Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991 and was admitted as a lawyer by the Supreme Court of Illinois on Dec. 17, 1991. Prior to being elected to the Illinois state Senate in 1996, he worked as a civil rights lawyer at the firm formerly known as Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Four days after Obama announced that he would run for president in February 2007, he voluntarily elected to have his law license placed on “inactive” status, according to Grogan. Then, after becoming president, he elected to change his status to “retired” in February 2009.
Obama’s motion seeking a transfer to inactive status was filed on June 8, 1994. And the court granted the request the following month, Grogan said.
