'Night of terror': Female inmates raped when male detainees bribed guard, lawsuit says

https://www.yahoo.com/news/night-terror-female-inmates-raped-140023100.html

Female inmates at an Indiana jail were subjected to a “night of terror” when male detainees gained access to their cells, the women allege in a lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed Friday, July 22, by eight women against Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel and current and former Clark County Jail officers. It’s the second lawsuit filed this summer following the alleged incident, with 20 women filing suit in June, court records show.

The women claim that on Oct. 23, 2021, jail officer David Lowe gave two male detainees keys to the interior of the jail in exchange for $1,000.

That night, the two male detainees and other male inmates went into restricted areas of the jail that housed women, according to the lawsuit.

“Numerous male detainees used the keys obtained from Lowe to enter Pods 4(E) and 4(F), where they raped, assaulted, harassed, threatened and intimidated the plaintiffs in this lawsuit, and other women, for several hours, resulting in significant physical and emotional injuries,” the lawsuit filed in the United States District Court of the Southern District of Indiana says.

Stunning New Emails Show Trump Team Calling Their Own Electoral Vote Scheme 'Fake'

https://www.mediaite.com/print/stunning-new-emails-show-trump-team-calling-their-own-electoral-vote-scheme-fake/

Newly-uncovered emails show former President Donald Trump’s campaign team and their collaborators knew their attempts to dispute the 2020 election were legally fraught to the point of admitting it was “fake.” This according to a report from The New York Times.

The Times authenticated a series of emails from Trump campaign officials, lawyers, and people close to the ex-president, all of whom were involved with the plot to organize alternative electors and falsely declare Trump’s 2020 victory. These electors were meant to give former Vice President Mike Pence and Trump’s allies a pretense to disrupt Congress’ certification of the election results, which wound up getting derailed anyway with the events of January 6.
