Anthony Smith faces felony charges after domestic incident; wife and manager speak out

Former UFC title challenger Anthony Smith surrendered to police after an arrest warrant tied to a July 2025 domestic incident, facing three felonies — attempted first-degree domestic assault, terroristic threats, and first-degree false imprisonment. He was released on a $500,000 bond with a stay-away order as his case moves toward an Aug. 17 Sarpy County District Court hearing; his wife publicly defended him, saying mental health struggles were mischaracterized, while his manager urged respect for due process as the investigation continues. Smith had retired, briefly returned to fight in April, and the next court date is Aug. 17.

"Campus Antisemitism: Davis Polk Revokes Jobs from Harvard and Columbia Law Students Over Controversial Statements on Israel"

Law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell has revoked job offers to three law students from Harvard and Columbia universities who signed public statements supporting Palestine in the wake of Hamas' attacks in Israel. The firm's managing partner stated that the statements were contrary to the firm's values and its responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment. Davis Polk is in dialogue with two of the students to consider additional information, potentially allowing them to be reinstated. This decision follows a similar move by Winston & Strawn, which rescinded a job offer to a former NYU student who made anti-Israel comments.

Special Counsel Requests Gag Order on Trump's Statements in Election Cases

U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith is seeking limits on former President Donald Trump's statements regarding a court case over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results. Prosecutors want restrictions on Trump's comments about witnesses, parties, attorneys, court personnel, and potential jurors that are disparaging, inflammatory, or intimidating. The request aims to protect potential jurors from fear of threats and harassment stemming from Trump's public statements. Trump's legal team has until September 25 to respond to the government's request. Trump, who faces four felony counts related to the election, has accused President Joe Biden's administration of trying to impose a gag order on him.

Legal Troubles Loom for Trump Amid Freewheeling Speaking Style.

Donald Trump's recent public statements regarding his legal issues could complicate his legal team's ability to contest charges, according to legal experts. Trump's statements could be used against him by state and federal prosecutors investigating him for various charges, including hush-money payments, election interference, and the Jan. 6 insurrection. His comments could also reveal his defense strategy and make it harder for his lawyers to present a coherent narrative. Trump's penchant for public statements was also on display during the last special counsel investigation he faced.

Trump's Legal Woes Threaten Campaign Amid Growing GOP Field.

Donald Trump's habit of making public statements about his legal troubles is drawing attention from prosecutors and legal experts, who warn that his comments could be used against him in ongoing investigations. Trump's recent statements, including claims that he had the right to take classified documents and that a Georgia elections official "owed him" votes, could be seen as incriminating or complicate his legal team's ability to defend him. Legal scholars note that prosecutors may not be able to use all of Trump's comments if they are not relevant to the charges, but his public statements could still harm his defense strategy and make it difficult for him to testify.
