States Move Against Fauci After Federal Pardon, Targeting State Probes

Alabama and Florida opened state-level probes into Anthony Fauci over the COVID-19 response, arguing Biden’s pardon covers only federal crimes and does not shield him from state charges; Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times at a Senate hearing as Republicans push for accountability, with Alabama’s Tuberville vowing to haul him to Montgomery and Florida officials outlining inquiries into potential Florida-law violations.

Mangione Faces Dual Trials in Thompson Slaying

Luigi Mangione, 27, who has pleaded not guilty to fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, will face two prosecutions this year — nine New York state felonies including second-degree murder, and two federal stalking counts — with possible life sentences in both. Terrorism charges in the state case were dismissed, and a federal death-penalty path was blocked. Key evidence includes a backpack found at his arrest containing a handgun, a silencer, a magazine with bullets wrapped in underwear, fake IDs, and writings; shell casings and a bullet recovered at the Thompson scene may also be used. Mangione remains detained in Brooklyn; the state trial starts June 8, and federal jury selection is tentatively set for Sept. 8.

Steve Bannon's Border Wall Fraud Trial Delayed to February

Steve Bannon's trial on state charges of defrauding donors to a border wall charity has been postponed to February 25, allowing his legal team more time to prepare for new evidence. The trial, prosecuted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, follows Bannon's pardon by Donald Trump for similar federal charges. Bannon, who recently completed a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress, continues to support Trump and mobilize MAGA voters.

Paul Pelosi's Attacker Apologizes, Receives Unchanged 30-Year Sentence

Paul Pelosi's attacker, David DePape, apologized during a resentencing hearing, but his prison term remains unchanged. The judge emphasized the severity of his crimes and denied a motion to reassign the case. The resentencing has delayed DePape's state trial on additional charges, with a judge awaiting local prosecutors' arguments before ruling on a motion to dismiss several charges.

Trump's Legal Battles: Anger, Defense, and the Trial

The Trump Trials continue with various criminal and civil cases in federal and state courts. In New York, the Trump legal team will call witnesses in the civil fraud trial defense, while in Georgia, Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis will appear at a Washington Post Live event. The federal classified documents case in Florida is set for trial on May 20, and Trump's legal team has requested that his federal case on the 2020 election be televised. Meanwhile, in the state business fraud case in New York, Donald and Ivanka Trump testified last week. If convicted of a felony, Trump can still run for president as there are no specific requirements in the Constitution, although some lawsuits have been filed arguing against his eligibility.
