BREAKING: Ivanka Trump is hit with devastating legal news as New York Attorney General Letitia James files a motion with a judge demanding that Ivanka be forced to testify against Donald Trump in the $250 million fraud trial against him.
But it gets even worse Ivanka Trump…
It all started last week, when Donald Trump's daughter filed a motion with the New York Supreme Court shamelessly arguing that Ivanka did not have to testify because subpoenas had “not been properly served” and that she is “not within the jurisdiction” of the court because she’s “not a resident” of New York.
Unfortunately for Donald and Ivanka, Attorney General Letitia James fired back today, destroying their attempt to weasel out of having Ivanka testify about her daddy’s crimes, telling the court that “Ivanka Trump was served properly at the New York addresses and actual place of business of multiple entities that are under her control; she should be compelled to testify in this proceeding. But even beyond that, Ivanka Trump remains financially and professionally intertwined with the Trump Organization and other Defendants and can be called as a person still under their control. Finally, Ivanka Trump has been and remains a litigant in the OAG's concurrent, still active, special proceeding, and appeared in and litigated this action without contesting personal jurisdiction. These are sufficient, ample bases to compel Ivanka Trump's testimony."
Well said, Attorney General James. Ivanka has ALWAYS played a prominent role in her dad’s crimes — and she knows it. That’s why she is pulling out all the stops in order to weasel out of testifying against him, but Letitia James isn’t about to let her get away with it.
Tick Tock, Ivanka…
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Ivanka Trump MUST be forced to testify against her criminal father — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
Re Crispin Blunt & many others in the Tory party, bullying & or sexual misconduct @LBC
Ferrari: It's the same old Tories, isn't it? The same old sleaze?
Gillian Keegan: Er, no
Then says "Rishi Sunak & high Tory standards"
You insult us. Every day.
Let's start with
#Partygate
House of Lords appointments
Sunak "indavertently" pushing contract to a company his wife has invested in
Sunak having a green card from when he became an MP inc first year as Chancellor
Sunak's wife's non-dom status saving £20m in tax until discovered
Nadhim Zahawi and lies about HMRC
Johnson.. where do we begin?
Hancock .. "let's frighten the pants off them" (re Alpha variant)
Raab and bullying
Patel and bullying
Williamson and bullying
And I haven't even begun.
You all need to go NOW, this government is an utter disgrace and not worthy of the British people. Just go.
Do something unselfish FOR ONCE and call a General Election
The Conservatives have bought a piece of derelict land to put an Immigration Detention centre on for £15m.
Peter Klimt owns the Brockwell Group Bexhill who it bought from, they purchased the land 13 months ago for £6m.
£9m profit in one year, another scam.
King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £350m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.
But he still couldn't pay for his own damn coronation.
#NotmyKing
One year ago today, Sunak became our new Prime Minister. In 12 months he has willingly taken a wrecking ball to climate & nature. Our country & planet can’t afford another year like this one – time to end climate destruction, step up climate action, & call a general election now.
So UK postponed getting its Brexit "done" for a 5th time, because it is more fearful of even greater rocketing prices & more widespread empty shelves more than unilaterally favouring the EU (thus, also breaking "let's go" WTO rules) & smugglers/illicit & health risks trade. Poll
If this government cannot be regulated by established committees and processes there has to be a complete and thorough investigation into their malpractice and criminal activities with prosecutions pursued. Why should Matt Hancock want criminal immunity for talking to a committee? Why are Johnson and Sunak not producing their phones? Why has Simon Case gone sick to avoid testifying? Where are the covid mis-spent tens of billions? Time to act. @Keir_Starmer
💥 Nigel Farage: "Brexit has failed."
💥 Steve Baker: "Brexit shouldn't have gone ahead without a supermajority of 60%."
💥 Tobias Ellwood: "We need to rejoin the single market."
🤔 Looks like the winds of reality are blowing in Brexit's face!
On the same day we learn the shocking news that one million UK children experienced destitution last year we hear Rishi Sunak is pushing ahead with Liz Truss plan to scrap cap on millionaire bankers' bonuses. Has the penny, finally, dropped https://t.co/fkdqTh6tic
In response to this shameless statement from the Government UK news shows must point out that contrary to what @RishiSunak keeps telling us bringing down inflation is not a tax cut for hard up families & it’s insulting to suggest it is - falling inflation just means prices are rising more slowly than then they were before, it does not mean price levels are actually falling so it won’t immediately help the families struggling to feed their kids now
@SkyNews@BBCNews@BBCBreakfast
Farmers are trying to raise the alarm on what is happening to our British food bc of #Brexit.
With supermarkets choosing to set prices at level of cheap low standard imports, our British farms are forced to give up producing your food.
We are losing food security and public health will deteriorate massively.
Jacob Rees-Mogg: I want to slash civil servants redundancy pay.
Also Jacob Rees-Mogg: I'm going to take £16,800 redundancy pay for a ministerial role I had for 7 weeks.
In case you were wondering what this Govt's priorities were, look no further - Ministers are now planning to scrap the EU cap on bankers' bonuses. More money for city fatcats in the middle of a cost of living scandal - post-Brexit Britain in a nutshell.

Simon Case, greenlighted Carrie Johnson's £58,000 wallpaper.
Helped Johnson get his £600,000 loan for the BBC Chairman job.
Was chief civil servant at no.10 during Partygate, and the main person who should have stopped them.
They have made sure he can't/won't testify.
Hancock is asking for immunity because just like Case, he’s realised he’s been set up to be a fall guy by the toffs. Stupid idiots didn’t realise, you are NEVER one of them unless you are born into it or u are richer than Midas. 1.
So Tory MPs and peers have signed Jake Berry’s pledge to refuse to support the Autumn Statement If the Chancellor Raises Tax.
Signatories include: David Frost, Richard Drax, Matthew Offord, Liz Truss, Priti Patel, Brandon Lewis,
Jacob Rees Mogg plus John Stevenson.
