charges are falsifying business records to hide #HushMoney payments in lead up to 2016 election to #influence electorate
just one Trump supporter at the courthouse draped in a Trump flag.
#StormyDaniels's lawyer, #KeithDavidson, to return to stand. He negotiated the hush-money payment at the center of the case, & is expected to lay out details of the deal.
#HopeHicks re the email to #JaredKushner:
she said, bc of Kushner’s good relationship w/ #RupertMurdoch — who owned the WSJ— maybe he could “buy a little extra time to deal with this.” Kushner responded that “he wasn’t going to be able to reach Rupert & we should just work on responding & dealing with it.”
The first question asked in the email: “Did Mr. #Trump have an extramarital affair w/ #KarenMcDougal?”
Hugh Grant has been priced out of his ‘phone hacking’ lawsuit against The Sun, after learning it would cost him more money to win than it would cost Rupert Murdoch.
Hugh Grant has settled his illegal snooping lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's Sun newspaper. The actor explained on X that he did this in order to avoid possibly heavy court costs, but made clear that he would not stop his quest to see justice done for victims of unlawful information gathering such as phone hacking. "As is common with entirely innocent people, they are offering me an enormous sum of money to keep this matter out of court. I don’t want to accept this money or settle. I would love to see all the allegations that they deny tested in court,” he wrote, adding “Murdoch’s settlement money has a stink and I refuse to let this be hush money,” and said he would use the proceeds of his settlement to “expose the worst excesses of our oligarch-owned press."

Really looking forward to conservatives complaining how violent and dirty the new #deadpool and #Wolverine movie is over the summer now that it's a #disney property and completely ignoring the first two movies which were under #rupertmurdoch and Fox.
