Prosecutors in New York have informed attorneys for Donald Trump that the evidence in their hush money case against the former president includes an audio recording of him and a witness, a court filing made public Friday shows.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office made the disclosure in a filing this week called an automatic discovery form and said the evidence had already been disclosed to Trump's attorneys.

This is one of those "gift" exit ramps for Republicans

They didn't abandon trump through impeachment, insurrection, botched covid management and more.

But today's verdict is a gift. An unexpected exit ramp from trump.

Keeping count. I know, no surprise, but Mo Brooks, Asa Hutchinson, and Romney have spoken against him!

WaPo: At least eight Trump electors have accepted immunity in Georgia investigation

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/at-least-eight-trump-electors-have-accepted-immunity-in-georgia-investigation/ar-AA1aNHXp

At least eight of the 16 Georgia Republicans who convened in December 2020 to declare Donald Trump the winner of the presidential contest despite his loss in the state have accepted immunity deals from Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating alleged election interference, according to a lawyer for the electors.

Prosecutors with the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D) told the eight that they will not be charged with crimes if they testify truthfully in her sprawling investigation into efforts by Trump, his campaign and his allies to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia, according to a brief filed Friday in Fulton County Superior Court by defense attorney Kimberly Bourroughs Debrow.

Willis has said that the meeting of Trump’s electors on Dec. 14, 2020, despite Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s certification of Biden’s win, is a key target of her investigation, along with Trump’s phone calls to multiple state officials and his campaign’s potential involvement in an unauthorized breach of election equipment in rural Coffee County, Ga.

Georgia was among seven states where the Trump campaign and local GOP officials arranged for alternate electors to convene with the stated purpose of preserving legal recourse while election challenges made their way through the courts. Among the questions both Willis and federal investigators have explored is whether the appointment of alternate electors and the creation of elector certificates broke the law. Another question is whether Trump campaign officials and allies initiated the strategy as part of a larger effort to overturn Biden’s overall victory during the counting of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021.

Still stuck on rape case DNA... Anyone else?

For three years TFG refused to turn over DNA sample.. Then.....

"After refusing to provide a DNA sample, Trump’s lawyers switched tactics, saying they would provide one if Carroll’s lawyers turned over the full DNA report on the dress."

They say TFG has had the DNA report without addendum for a long time.

I know, all inadmissible now. Trial underway w/o DNA or reference to it. Just think there must be a clue in all this!

And why did prosecution so easily give up the DNA route? It's a sure thing? Or maybe not ( i.e. addendum to DNA report? Warning w/ caveats?.

Anyone else trying to figure this out?

I know, word has it that TFG will be found guilty since trump didn't show up and because the evidence bar is lower for a civil trial...

Don't care, just trying to understand it all.
