Judge makes ruling after Trump requests to toss NY case on basis of immunity
Judge Juan Merchan on Monday rejected Trump attorneys’ request to dismiss charges brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on the basis of presidential immunity.
The ruling comes after President-elect Trump and his team in July requested Merchan overturn his guilty verdict in New York v. Trump, citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents have immunity for official acts.
Merchan ruled that the evidence presented in the trial was related “entirely to unofficial conduct and thus, receive no immunity protections.”
“Further, even if this Court were to deem all of the contested evidence, both preserved and unpreserved, as official conduct falling within the outer perimeter of Defendant’s Presidential authority, it would still find that the People’s use of these acts as evidence of the decidedly personal acts of falsifying business records poses no danger of intrusion on the authority and function of the Executive Branch, a conclusion amply supported by non-motive-related evidence,” Merchan writes.
Merchan also argued that the Court said “if error occurred regarding the introduction of the challenged evidence, such error was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of guilt.”
TRUMP ATTORNEYS FILE MOTION TO DISMISS ‘FAILED LAWFARE’ CASE IN NEW YORK, CITING HUNTER BIDEN PARDON
Merchan rejected that request, but has yet to rule on President-elect Trump’s formal motion to dismiss the case altogether.
“Today’s decision by deeply conflicted, acting Justice Merchan in the Manhattan DA Witch Hunt is a direct violation of the Supreme Court’s decision on immunity, and other longstanding jurisprudence,” Trump spokesman and incoming White House communications director Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital. “This lawless case should have never been brought, and the Constitution demands that it be immediately dismissed, as President Trump must be allowed to continue the Presidential Transition process, and execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this, or any other, Witch Hunt.”
Cheung added: “The sooner these hoaxes end, the sooner our country can unite behind President Trump for the betterment of all Americans.”
Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree stemming from the yearslong investigation related to alleged hush money payments run by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. Former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance initiated the investigation, and Bragg prosecuted Trump.
After an unprecedented six-week trial in New York City, a jury found the president guilty on all counts.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a former president has substantial immunity for official acts committed while in office.
In the formal motion in July, Trump attorney Todd Blanche pointed to the Supreme Court’s immunity decision, and argued that certain evidence of “official acts” should not have been admitted during the trial.
Specifically, Blanche argued that testimony from former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks; former Special Assistant to the President Madeleine Westerhout; testimony regarding The Special Counsel’s Office and Congressional Investigations and the pardon power; testimony regarding President Trump’s response to FEC Inquiries; his presidential Twitter posts and other related testimony was impermissably admitted during trial.
Meanwhile, Trump attorneys, earlier this month, officially requested to “immediately” dismiss charges against the president-elect in New York v. Trump, declaring the “failed lawfare” case “should never have been brought.”
TRUMP REQUESTS NY JUDGE OVERTURN GUILTY VERDICT, INDICTMENT AFTER SCOTUS IMMUNITY RULING
Trump attorneys said the case “would never have been brought were it not for President Trump’s political views, the transformative national movement established under his leadership, and the political threat that he poses to entrenched, corrupt politicians in Washington, D.C. and beyond.”
Trump lawyers said that “wrongly continuing proceedings in this failed lawfare case disrupts President Trump’s transition efforts and his preparations to wield the full Article II executive power authorized by the Constitution pursuant to the overwhelming national mandate granted to him by the American people on November 5, 2024.”
Bragg, last month, requested to Judge Juan Merchan that the case be stayed until the end of Trump’s second term, but Trump attorneys noted that the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department concluded that “the categorical prohibition on the federal indictment of a sitting president…even if the case were held in abeyance…applies to this situation.”
They added that Bragg’s “ridiculous suggestion that they could simply resume proceedings after President Trump leaves Office, more than a decade after they commenced their investigation in 2018, is not an option.”
Federal workers flip out as Trump threatens to end cushy benefit handed out under Biden
President-elect Trump on Monday indicated that he plans to push back on President Biden’s move to reach an agreement that would allow tens of thousands of federal workers to remain in a hybrid work arrangement with telework through 2029.
“We’re talking about a friendly takeover, a friendly transition as they like to say, this is a friendly transition, and it is,” Trump said at a press conference. “But there are two events that took place that I think are very terrible.”
“One is that if people don’t come back to work, come back into the office, they’re going to be dismissed, and somebody in the Biden administration gave a five-year waiver of that. So that for five years, people don’t have to come back into the office,” Trump said. “It involved 49,000 people for five years. They don’t have to go. They just signed this thing. It’s ridiculous. So it was like a gift to a union, and we’re going to obviously be in court to stop it.”
Trump’s comments come after a deal was reached earlier this month between the largest federal workers’ union, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), and the Social Security Administration (SSA) that “places current levels of telework into our National Agreement through October 25, 2029.”
SEN. ERNST LAUNCHING SERIES OF BILLS TO MOVE FEDERAL WORKERS OUT OF DC
The deal, which was first reported by Bloomberg, covers roughly 42,000 Social Security employees around the country. Under the agreement, requirements for workers range from being in office from two to five days per week, the outlet reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
AFGE National President Everett Kelley responded to Trump’s comments about the remote work deal in a statement that the union supports telework “where it delivers for both the taxpayers and the workers who serve them. Telework and remote work are tools that have helped the federal government increase productivity and efficiency, maintain continuity of operations, and increase disaster preparedness.”
“Rumors of widespread federal telework and remote work are simply untrue. More than half of federal employees cannot telework at all because of the nature of their jobs, only 10% of federal workers are remote, and those who have a hybrid arrangement spend over 60% of working hours in the office,” Kelley said.
“Collective bargaining agreements entered into by the federal government are binding and enforceable under the law. We trust the incoming administration will abide by their obligations to honor lawful union contracts. If they fail to do so, we will be prepared to enforce our rights,” Kelley added.
THOUSANDS OF FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LAND DEAL TO CONTINUE TELEWORK WITH BIDEN ADMIN APPOINTEE: REPORT
Trump has tasked Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy with leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which will focus on finding ways to cut government spending and improve the efficiency of federal initiatives.
Musk and Ramaswamy have indicated that they want to end remote work and view the requirement that federal workers return to the office as a way of spurring voluntary layoffs.
“Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the COVID-era privilege of staying home,” Musk and Ramaswamy wrote in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal last month.

Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, the leader of the Senate’s DOGE caucus, said after the deal between AFGE and the SSA was announced that it was “unacceptable” and she’ll work with Musk, Ramaswamy and DOGE to “fix this ASAP and get bureaucrats back to work.”
Top WH official shares new intel on mysterious drones flying over the country
White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby said the White House’s assessment, in coordination with the FBI and state and local officials, is that the mysterious drones flying over the country are in fact “legal” and “lawful.”
Kirby told Fox News anchor Bret Baier Monday on “Special Report” they’ve examined roughly 5,000 sightings and to date, their analysis is “lawful, legal, commercial hobbyist and even law enforcement aircraft activity,” is responsible for the sightings.
“Some of it’s manned, some of it’s unmanned. We absolutely acknowledge that a lot of these are probably drones, but they’re flying legally. And it is legal to fly drones in non-restricted airspace as long as you’re registered with the [Federal Aviation Administration] FAA and there’s thousands and thousands of these kinds of flights every single day,” he added.
Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a press conference Monday there are more than 1 million drones registered with the FAA in the United States, and that more than 8,000 drones are lawfully flown every day.
An FBI official said over the weekend their Newark office created a tip line in early December to deal with the number of calls related to reported drone sightings in New Jersey.
Since Dec. 3, they have received 5,000 tips through that national tip line and of those 5,000, “less than 100 leads have been generated and deemed worthy of further investigative activity,” according to the official.
TRUMP SAYS BIDEN ADMIN ‘KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING’ ON DRONES
Baier pressed Kirby about the White House’s assessment that the drones don’t have any foreign involvement.
“We’ve done the detection and the analysis. We’ve corroborated the sightings. And in every case that we have examined to date, we have seen nothing, nothing that indicates a public safety risk,” said Kirby. “We’ve seen nothing working with the Department of Defense [DOD] as well, that indicates a foreign adversary, actor involved or any kind of pernicious national security threat.”

He acknowledged there have been some cases of drones flying over military bases but the White House and DOD are looking into them.

“This is an ongoing investigation,” said Kirby. “We’re still working our way through this. Sightings continue to come in. We’ve taken them all seriously and we’ll continue to look at this.”
Democrat lawmaker says Latino Trump supporters have ‘slave mentality’ and can ‘barely vote’
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, accused many Hispanic voters of having a “slave mentality” for supporting President-elect Donald Trump.
“That is my distilled summary of what happens within the Latino community,” Crockett told Vanity Fair on Friday. “I’ve not run into that with the Asian community. I’ve not run into that with the African community. I’ve not run into that with the Caribbean community. I’ve only run into it with Hispanics. When they think of ‘illegals,’ they think of, you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels and that kind of, like, the criminal-type book or whatever. It’s insane.”
“It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like ‘slave mentality’ and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves,” she continued. “It’s almost like a slave mentality that they have. It is wild to me when I hear how anti-immigrant they are as immigrants, many of them. I’m talking about people that literally just got here and can barely vote that are having this kind of attitude.”
Crockett added that despite Black voters still largely voting in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris during the election, there was some “flaking” by Black men that she attributed to misogyny.
BLACK LAWMAKERS, ACTIVISTS BLAME RACISM FOR DANIEL PENNY’S ACQUITTAL: ‘THIS IS THE EVIL OF WHITE SUPREMACY’
“I will tell you that Black people historically have been fiercely loyal. That’s why you still see the [turnout] numbers that you see coming out for Black folks, even though there was a bit of flaking. And that bit of flaking came from Black men, which I’m going to chalk up to misogyny,” Crockett said.
She also disparaged White women, claiming they “retreated” and failed Harris just as they failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.
“I said, I don’t trust White women. I said, I’m just telling you, and I think you need to have conversations with your sisters, because they are the group that failed Hillary Clinton. I mean, when you go back and look at the numbers, White women were the ones that failed her. And so in my mind, if they failed Hillary, I don’t know that I can believe that they won’t fail Kamala,” Crockett said.
She admitted some men she spoke to felt “like the Democratic Party was emasculating them,” but insisted that Harris was a “perfect candidate” who “ran a flawless campaign.”
Instead, Crockett claimed the Democratic Party’s problem was a lack of clear messaging and setting an “impossible standard” for themselves.

“Why are y’all tearing President Biden down? Like, do you guys realize that [Republicans are] standing with their man? And y’all were like, ‘get rid of Biden because he had a bad debate.’ Well, when Trump had a bad debate, they never acknowledged it. He just said, I’m not doing it no more, because I ain’t getting my a– kicked again. I mean, there is something to be said for just requiring this level of perfection out of nonperfect people, and I think Democrats really need to take a good look at themselves on that issue,” Crockett said.

Penn State coach blasts CFB’s transfer portal as player leaves ahead of big game
Every College Football Playoff team wants their focus to solely be on winning a national title, but Penn State head coach James Franklin addressed a problem elsewhere in the sport.
The college football transfer portal is open, and the timing couldn’t be worse for coaches like Franklin, who already saw a key backup player enter.
But Franklin defended his backup quarterback, Beau Pribula, who made the decision to enter the portal after starter Drew Allar already declared his intention to return to the Nittany Lions in 2025.

“The overlapping CFB playoff & transfer portal timeline has forced me into an impossible decision,” Pribula wrote on social media Sunday.
“We got problems in college football, and I can give you my word Beau Pribula did not want to leave our program, and he did not want to leave our program until the end of the season,” Franklin said, via ESPN, on Monday in defense of Pribula’s decision to enter the portal. “But the way the portal is and the timing of it and the way our team is playing, and when you play the position of quarterback and there’s only one spot and those spots are filling up, he felt like he was put in a no-win situation, and I agree with them.”
Pribula spoke with Franklin about his decision before making it public.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL ANALYST BLASTS REFS OVER NAVY STAR PENALTY AFTER CRUCIAL TD VS ARMY
Now, because of the decision, true freshman Ethan Grunkemeyer, who hasn’t thrown a pass, will be Penn State’s backup throughout the College Football Playoff, which begins for the Nittany Lions on Saturday against No. 11 SMU at Beaver Stadium.
“No. 1, I hate for it, most importantly for Beau Pribula,” Franklin added. “I don’t think it’s in the best interest of the student-athlete, I don’t think it’s in the best interest of college football.”
Franklin added that Pribula has been a “phenomenal teammate” and has played a big role in helping his team reach the playoff, despite only being used sparingly this season.
However, Pribula’s speed is something the Nittany Lions benefited from this season, as he’s tied for second with six rushing touchdowns and third in rushing yards (242). He also threw for five touchdowns on 25 attempts for 275 yards this season.
Unfortunately, though, he isn’t the only player that’s entered the portal despite their team’s success.
Former Texas Longhorns backup Maalik Murphy entered the portal last season despite his team’s upcoming game against the Washington Huskies for a place in the national championship.
He would eventually transfer to Duke, where he’s started the 2024 season. Murphy is once again in the portal looking for his next team.

And the Nittany Lions’ opponent on Saturday also saw the Mustangs’ backup quarterback Preston Stone enter the portal.
This is the first year of the expanded playoff, but the transfer portal, an area of controversy throughout college football depending on who you’re talking to, remains an even bigger problem with more teams preparing for a hopeful national title run.
JonBenet Ramsey’s father presents ransom note theory in never-before-aired interview
A never-before-aired interview with JonBenet Ramsey’s parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and the late Barbara Walters has resurfaced following the release of a new documentary about the 6-year-old pageant star’s 1996 murder.
JonBenet was found dead in the basement of her family’s Boulder, Colorado, home the day after Christmas 28 years ago, and the case remains unsolved to this day, despite ongoing public interest and a recent push from John Ramsey to re-test crime scene evidence for DNA using new technology.
“The ransom note has an odd figure — $118,000. That was a bonus that you had received,” Walters, then a host of ABC’s “20/20,” says in the interview, which was conducted in 2000 but never aired, according to ABC.
“Well, that was one of the theories that I came up with, that it was close to the net amount I’d received that year as a bonus,” John Ramsey told Walters. “One-eighteen means something to the killer. We know that. We believe that. Whether it’s tied to my bonus or something only the killer knows, we don’t know.”
JONBENET RAMSEY’S FATHER CLAIMS COLORADO POLICE OFFICER SAID THEY ARE ‘JUST WAITING’ FOR HIM TO DIE
When Walters asked Patsy Ramsey, who died six years after the interview in 2006, whether she knew the amount of her husband’s bonus, she responded, “Not at the time, no.”
The interview resurfaced after the November premiere of the Netflix documentary, “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey.”

John Ramsey, 80, most recently told Fox News Digital in September that he felt optimistic about new leadership at the Boulder Police Department (BPD), which officially named a new police chief on Sept. 6.
Chief Stephen Redfearn, who served as the interim chief for HPD starting in January, is the fifth police chief at BPD to take on the JonBenet Ramsey case since 1996.
JONBENET’S FATHER CHALLENGES COLORADO GOVERNOR TO MEET: ‘TIME FOR ANSWERS IS RUNNING OUT’
Ramsey told Fox News Digital he would like BPD to turn over evidence in his daughter’s nearly 30-year-old murder case to the FBI, “at a minimum,” so that federal officials can test and retest evidence for possible external DNA, including external male DNA that federal officials disclosed in 1997.
“We have an unidentified male DNA result from the testing they did in 1997, which … by today’s standards, it was primitive,” Ramsey explained. “But we have an unidentified male DNA sample, which was reported to the police in January 1997. They kept that a secret because it conflicted with their conclusion that we were guilty. How do we explain that away? Which they tried desperately to do.”

Evidence that has never been tested for traces of DNA includes the garrote found around JonBenet’s neck, a ransom note found in the Ramsey house on the morning of the murder, a suitcase found in the basement that authorities believe the killer used to escape out a window, an unknown flashlight found on the Ramsey family’s kitchen counter the morning of the murder and unknown rope found in her brother Burke Ramsey’s room that day, according to public records initially obtained by journalist Paula Woodward, as Fox News Digital previously reported.
GET REAL TIME UPDATES DIRECTLY ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB
In 1999, a grand jury indicted both John and his wife, Patsy Ramsey, for child abuse resulting in JonBenet’s death, but Alex Hunter, the district attorney at the time, refused to sign the indictment, citing a lack of evidence that would warrant criminal charges against the parents. Prosecutors eventually dropped their case against John and Patsy in 2006.
BPD said in a September statement that “Chief Redfearn has continued to have conversations with the Ramsey family, and there are no plans to change that.”
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry give rare glimpse of kids in new holiday card
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have released their 2024 holiday card on the heels of reports that the Sussexes didn’t receive an invitation from the royal family to join them at Sandringham in Norfolk for their annual Christmas holiday.
On Dec. 16, Harry and Markle released their holiday card, which featured a grid of six photos. The message, “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year,” was printed on the bottom.
Included in those six pictures were a rare glimpse of the couple’s children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. In the family photo, Harry is seen bending down to greet his daughter with a hug as Markle is seen doing the same with Archie.
The photo also includes the family’s three dogs.

According to a source, this holiday card was intended only for public use and Harry and Markle’s friends and family received a separate card. This will not be shared with the public.
Markle and Harry aren’t the only royal family members not celebrating Christmas with King Charles, as Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson declined the monarch’s invitation to celebrate Christmas together.
PRINCE ANDREW WON’T JOIN KING CHARLES AND ROYAL FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS AFTER LATEST SCANDAL: REPORTS
The Duke and Duchess of York, and their daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will not be in attendance for morning church services or lunch with the royal family at the Sandringham House, People reported.
The news comes as Prince Andrew was revealed to recently have contact with an alleged Chinese spy, Sky News reported. His office released a statement on Friday, saying he had cut ties with the Chinese businessman on the “advice” from officials, but that the pair had never discussed anything of a “sensitive nature.”
As for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they are expected to spend Christmas in the United States where they live once again this year, People reported, citing a source.

The Sussexes haven’t spent Christmas at Sandringham with the royal family since 2018 — the same year they were married.
The couple left England in 2020 and eventually settled in California.
They continue to have a fraught relationship with the senior royals after Harry’s tell-all memoir “Spare,” their similarly controversial 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, and their Netflix series “Harry & Meghan,” which was highly critical of the royal family as an institution.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as their children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte, are expected to head to Sandringham before Christmas and remain there until New Year’s.
The Princess of Wales held her first Together at Christmas carol service last year before she was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
Christmas Day at Church of St. Mary Magdalene on the estate last year was the princess’ last public engagement for months before she revealed her diagnosis.
In September, she announced she had finished her round of preventative chemotherapy.

Charles was also diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer this year and is still undergoing treatment.
The royal family’s sojourn to Sandringham is a long-held tradition in which the late Queen Elizabeth would usually retreat to the estate from December through February — when her father, King George VI, died.

“It will be like any other Christmas, focused on the young family,” Grant Harrold, former personal butler to Charles, told the New York Post in November of the royal family’s planned holiday this year. “They are very family-orientated, like the late queen, so that will be their focus.”
Kristin Cavallari makes move on ‘Yellowstone’ star Kevin Costner
Kristin Cavallari has her eyes set on a certain “Yellowstone” star.
During an “Ask Me Anything” session on her Instagram Stories on Sunday, a fan asked the “Very Cavallari” star when she was going to go on a date with Kevin Costner.
“Give him my number,” she responded, before adding “forever crush.”
KEVIN COSTNER TOLD ‘YELLOWSTONE’ CAST HE WAS ‘SCARED AS HELL’ AT SHOW’S FIRST TABLE READ
After finalizing her divorce from her husband of seven years, Jay Cutler, in 2022, Cavallari, 37, began dating 24-year-old TikTok star, Mark Estes, in February 2024. The couple ultimately broke up in September.
Meanwhile, the “Yellowstone” star, 69, finalized his divorce from his wife of nearly 20 years, Christine Baumgartner, 50, in February 2024 after she initially filed in May 2023.
“Give him my number. Forever crush”
“It was powerful. It hurt. But I go forward. I have no choice. My children are looking at me, so I can’t wilt like a daisy. I have to go forward. I have to continue to be who I am and keep a special eye on who they are,” he told “CBS Mornings” in June 2024 about his divorce.
Along with having a big year in his personal life, Costner also had a big year in his professional life. Part one of his self-funded epic four-part drama, “Horizon: An American Saga,” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024, which he attended with all his children.

The actor not only starred in the film, but also wrote, produced and starred in it. In addition to attending the film’s premiere with his kids, Costner was lucky enough to have two of his sons appear alongside him in the movie.
“They’re all supportive of each other,” Costner confessed of his seven children. “My oldest son was in a scene in chapter two, and, a small part again.” He added, “I just try to find ways to trap them.”

This year also marked the end of Costner’s time on “Yellowstone,” with his final episode airing in November. In the episode, Costner’s character was killed off in what appeared to be a suicide.
While some fans took issue with the way Costner was written off the show, accusing the creator of “miss[ing] the audience mark on this one by a million miles,” others thought the character’s ending “made sense.”
“It made sense; you can’t have that many people against you, land they want, & you & your cronies have killed that many ppl?” the person explained. “It’s surprising they didn’t do this to one of the main characters soon. Plus, with Costner leaving – make him go out in a dramatic way.”
Costner shared that he doesn’t know when he’ll sit down and watch the episode.

Either way, Costner shared he doesn’t know when he’ll sit down and watch the episode.
“Well, I’m going to be perfectly honest. I didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” he said on an episode of SiriusXM’s “The Michael Smerconish Program,” in November. “I didn’t see it. I heard it’s a suicide, so that doesn’t make me want to rush to go see it.”
The last episode of the fifth and final season of “Yellowstone” aired on Sunday evening.
