He said online that Mershon effectively made up these charges and he called him the most conflicted judge in New York State history. Trump also denounced New York's court system as corrupt and he said it's one of the reasons so many people and companies are fleeing the state. Some prominent legal scholars, honestly, weren't that far off in their criticisms of Merchan.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, for example, he called Merchan's recent decisions the, quote, final cathartic act for lawfare warriors. Turley said the sentencing date effectively provides the media with the inauguration day talking point that Trump will be the first person sworn into presidential office as a convicted felon.

Legal scholar Andy McCarthy, who formerly served as the assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, he made a similar argument. McCarthy said that the pre-inauguration day sentencing appears to be a bid by Mershon to ensure that Trump enters office as a formerly convicted felon. Now, before you go, this isn't the only case that Trump is dealing with.

What's the status of the others? Yes, the two federal prosecutions against Trump, one concerning J6 matters and the other classified documents, they've both been dropped and special counsel Jack Smith has quickly closed up shop. As for the Georgia election related case, Fulton County DA Fannie Willis and her office have been disqualified from prosecuting Trump.

Willis is now in the process of appealing that decision. If she were to win that, she could go after Trump, but she couldn't do that until after he's out of office. And if she loses her bid, the case would be kicked to somebody else. They could continue to go after Trump, or they could drop some or all of those charges.

Trump is also in the process of appealing a civil fraud judgment that totals nearly half a billion dollars. That case, which notably involves no victims, no injuries, and no losses, was brought by AG Letitia James. And finally, Trump is also appealing a civil verdict in the likewise highly controversial E. Jean Carroll case.

Yesterday, the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a jury's decision from May of 2023 that Trump defamed Carroll by calling her allegations of sexual abuse a hoax, statements the court found false and damaging to her reputation.

Yesterday, the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a jury's decision from May of 2023 that Trump defamed Carroll by calling her allegations of sexual abuse a hoax, statements the court found false and damaging to her reputation.

The original case stemmed from Carol's claim that Trump assaulted her in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s, an accusation that Trump has repeatedly denied. The jury did not find Trump liable for rape, but concluded that he was responsible for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding damages for Carol's emotional distress and reputational harm.

A separate jury awarded Carol more than $83 million in damages for defamation. Trump has indicated that he has plans to appeal both verdicts.

Mozzie Clark, who was recently released, says prison officials shrugged off her complaints about harassment and only took action to remove her cellmate after he had sexually assaulted her. Her lawsuit accuses the facility of failing to protect her despite her repeated pleas for help and warnings of increased risks posed by housing men in women's prison.

Clark says the trauma has left lasting emotional scars, while her lawyer calls the case a failure to uphold incarcerated women's basic rights to safety and dignity. The Washington Department of Corrections told The Daily Wire that they cannot comment on the pending litigation.
