Court sets Smartmatic dismissal date on Giuliani, Bartiromo, others

Court sets Smartmatic dismissal date on Giuliani, Bartiromo, others

A date has been set for oral arguments over the dismissal motions of Fox News, Rudy Giuliani, Maria Bartiromo, Sidney Powell, Lou Dobbs and Jeanine Pirro in the $2.7-billion Smartmatic defamation case about 2020 presidential election conspiracy theories.

Judge David B. Cohen of the New York State Supreme Court for the County of New York will hear the arguments on Aug. 17 starting at 9:30 a.m. from attorneys for those seeking to dismiss the case.

Lack of malice is also one of Giuliani's arguments for dismissal, and Powell has argued, in part, that the court has no jurisdiction over her.

Judge grants DOJ's request to temporarily block release of Trump obstruction memo



A federal judge on Monday granted the Justice Department's request to temporarily block the release of an internal legal memo prepared in response to the Mueller report in 2019.

District Judge Amy Berman Jackson agreed to stay her order for the document's release while the Biden administration appeals.

Snip

Jackson said in a nine-page decision that while she still disagrees with the Justice Department's arguments against the memo's release, she believes that it shouldn't be prematurely unredacted before the department has an opportunity to make its case to an appeals court.

Bipartisan Senate group rules out tax hikes on infrastructure

Bipartisan Senate group rules out tax hikes on infrastructure

A bipartisan Senate group is taking tax increases off the table as lawmakers try to craft an infrastructure proposal after GOP talks with the White House collapsed Tuesday.

Raising taxes on high-income earners and corporations has been a key part of President Biden's infrastructure plan, making it nearly impossible to garner enough GOP support for legislation that can clear the Senate.

Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), who is in the bipartisan group, said tax increases are not under consideration as senators attempt to reach consensus on how to pay for their plan.

Workers at Amazon's Bessemer, Ala., warehouse have voted not to unionize

Workers at Amazon’s Bessemer, Ala., warehouse have voted not to unionize, a major victory for the e-commerce giant but not the end of the fight for labor organizers.

Out of the 3,215 employees who participated, 1,798 "no" votes and 738 "yes" votes were recorded before voided and challenged ballots were counted. Fifty-percent plus one of the employees would have had to vote “yes” for the union to gain National Labor Relations Board recognition.

Although the initial vote has gone against them, the union plans to challenge the results
