According to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, Trump and his family were caught off guard and are rattled by the recent indictment by a Manhattan grand jury investigating a hush money payment made during his 2016 campaign to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Haberman also noted that Trump's legal team was surprised by the news of the indictment and there is finger-pointing about why they were caught off guard.
The indictment is not the only legal challenge Trump faces as he is being investigated at the federal level for his handling of classified information and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, as well as facing a number of other state-level probes. The indictment in New York, which is the first of its kind for a sitting or former president, could set a precedent for other charges to follow.
While some Republicans who dislike Trump view the case as trivial, the fact that prosecutors were concerned about being the first with a historical precedent suggests that this could have far-reaching implications. Trump is expected to appear in court in New York on Tuesday for an arraignment in the case.

Supreme Court Ruling: Accepting a Pardon is an "Admission of Guilt!"
A Presidential Pardon does not take effect unless the suspect accepts it. That according to a little known, 1915 ruling from the Supreme Court, once accepted, the pardon serves as an “imputation of guilt,” or what’s more commonly known as an admission. Because accepting the pardon is “essential to it’s validity,” I am demanding the Biden family, Dr. Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the members of the J6 Committee and everyone else Biden unsurprisingly pardoned declare their acceptance of the pardon publicly. Because, according to the Supreme Court, it would also serve as a declaration of guilt.

California Fire Chief Saves Two Homes Using Milk and Beer After Finding No Water in Hose
NY Post - January 17, 2025
In an extraordinary act of resourcefulness, a California fire chief saved two houses from destruction during the fierce Eaton Fire by using milk and beer as firefighting agents, after discovering the local water supply was unavailable.
Brian Fennessy, 65, and the Orange County Fire Authority Chief, found himself in Altadena, where his childhood memories coexist with the current devastation. With no water pressure in the fire hoses, he resorted to unconventional methods. “I thought I’ll check the refrigerator and all that was in there was some milk and a couple beers,” Fennessy recounted.
