Vivek Ramaswamy takes center stage, plus other key moments from first Republican debate

In the latest motion filed in the Fulton County 2020 election interference case, Donald Trump signals he opposes the proposed trial date of 23 October and will file a motion to sever his case from that of co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro, who has filed a demand for a speedy trial.

The response also says Mr Trump will similarly file motion to sever his case from any other co-defendant who demands a speedy trial.

One of Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the Fulton County, Georgia election case had been previously charged with attacking an FBI agent who served him with a subpoena in the separate federal probe into attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.

The Washington Post reported the alleged dust-up with Harrison William Prescott Floyd III, 39, who led Black Voices for Trump, part of the former president’s campaign effort to reach Black voters.

A “November Member Spotlight” post from November 2021 on the University Club of Washington’s website—which has since been taken — described Mr Floyd as a Marine veteran with 10 years of service, during which he served as a machine gunner, combat marksmanship trainer and martial arts instructor.

In an interview on Newsmax on Wednesday, the former president’s daughter-in-law said that his hotly-anticipated booking will be hung up as a poster in “dorm rooms” in the future.

“This mugshot, you wait for it, it’s going to be on posters in people’s dorm rooms, it’s going to be on T-shirts,” she said.

Describing it as “the most famous mugshot in the history of the world”, she said it will be “a flag flown by people who love this country because they’re backing Donald Trump”.

His cronies have long been pictured by his side at the White House and political rallies.

But now, some of Donald Trump’s closest allies and fellow election deniers are the faces of humiliating mugshots.

Big “Guess Who?” vibes for anyone who remembers the classic Hasbro children’s game.

Marjorie Taylor Greene complained about being blocked from the media spin room following the first Republican debate – after she apparently spent the event watching Donald Trump’s interview instead of the candidates on stage.

Republicans had a tough choice in what to watch on Wednesday night between the first debate and Mr Trump’s interview with Tucker Carlson – but Ms Greene had her own solution.

But as a loyal Trump ally, Ms Greene also brought her phone to tune into Carlson’s interview with the ex-president.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, journalist Glenn Greenwald shared a photo of Ms Greene in the crowd while watching Mr Trump’s interview.

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark have both had their Fulton County bond orders set at $100,000.

Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis has requested a 23 October trial for all 19 defendants in the 2020 election subversion case, including former President Donald Trump.
