At an Alabama judicial conference on Friday, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas responded to the criticism against him and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas.
Thomas and Ginni have faced public criticism for Thomas’ failure to disclose the extensive lavish gifts he’s accepted from his wealthy conservative friends. Text messages and emails revealed Ginni’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election by appealing to officials and lawmakers. Thomas was found to be involved in several cases related to the 2020 election, including the January 6 Capitol riot.
“My wife and I, the last two or three years, it’s been—just the nastiness and the lies—it’s just incredible,” Thomas said at the conference.
The Supreme Court Justice expressed his disappointment in the current state of the federal courts. He claimed people were seeking sympathetic judges and that the Supreme Court was less stable than it had been in the past.

Justice Clarence Thomas took the opportunity during a judicial conference in Alabama on Friday to criticize the “nastiness” and “lies” he’s faced following bombshell reports that conservative megadonor Harlan Crow had funded the justice’s lavish lifestyle for decades.
According to Politico, while addressing a room of judges, attorneys and other court personnel in the 11th Circuit Judicial Conference at the conference, Thomas repeatedly denounced his critics and called Washington a “hideous place.”
When asked about working in a world that appeared mean-spirted, the justice replied, “I think there’s challenges to that.

In the season 11 premiere of Last Week Tonight, host John Oliver made a playful offer to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas when he proposed that if Thomas resigned from the court, he would receive a new motorhome and an annual payment of $1 million from Oliver himself until one of them passed away.
Oliver said on his show, “A million dollars a year and a brand-new condo on wheels, and all you have to do in return is sign the contract and get the f— off the Supreme Court.” Oliver told the justice to respond to his offer in 30 days.
Thomas did not accept the offer within the allotted 30-day period, which led to mixed emotions for Oliver.
Oliver revealed that the contract was real. He and his team spoke to experts about the possibility, and everyone agreed, “This is somehow legal.” He added that HBO itself would not front the money on the deal.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver almost indentured himself to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
A few months ago, he made Thomas an offer: if he would resign, Oliver would give him $1 million a year until one of them died, plus a new motor home. He gave Thomas 30 days to accept.
Thomas, as we all know, is still on the Supreme Court, and Oliver admitted his relief during an appearance Monday on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
“It was both a huge relief and massively disappointing that he didn’t take it,” he told Meyers. And even though Oliver’s wife was not thrilled when he made the initial offer, he said he’d be willing to make the offer again.
“As long as he gets out before they’re doing the June decisions, I would be willing to open discussions again,” Oliver said. “If you want to get in...

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels testified on Tuesday in a Manhattan court and recounted salacious details of her alleged affair with Donald Trump.
Daniels, who spoke rapidly with animated gestures, described an encounter in which she spanked Trump with a rolled-up magazine with his face on the cover. The vivid description of the occasion in her testimony led to visible smirks from some jurors. It elicited a reported profanity from Trump, who mouthed his disapproval, ‘That’s bull—-,’ to his legal team.
Throughout Daniels’ testimony, Trump was visibly frustrated and shook his head in disagreement. Daniels claimed that Trump had reassured her not to worry about his wife, Melania, as they didn’t “even sleep in the same room.” This statement seemed to agitate the former president further, who exhibited signs of anger and was later cautioned by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan for his audible curse and head shakes,...

Victoria Justice won’t forget her first day on the job.
The former Victorious star talked about shooting her first sex scene in the upcoming crime drama Depravity while visiting SiriusXM Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon. She was visiting the show to promote her new single, Raw.
“My first day on set though, I had my first ever sex scene, which was like, I’m like, ‘Really guys? We’re gonna schedule this for the first day? Cool. Thanks for that,’” Justice recalled.
Justice said the scene was not a pleasant experience. “It is uncomfortable,” she said. “I was really nervous. I was actually very, very nervous about it, and totally anxious about the entire situation and I was like, ‘Did I make the wrong choice? I don’t know if I should do this.’”

Harvey Weinstein will be tried again for rape in New York this fall after his 2020 conviction was overturned last month, Reuters reports.
Weinstein appeared in Manhattan court Wednesday, May 1, seated in a wheelchair. It marked the first time the disgraced movie mogul had been seen in public since he was found guilty of rape in Los Angeles and sentenced to 16 years in prison last February.

“We believe in this case, and we will be retrying this case,” prosecutors in Harvey Weinstein’s New York rape case told a judge today in the first hearing since the much-accused producer’s 2020 conviction was overturned last week. “It was a strong case in 2020 …and it remains a strong case in 2024,” added Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg.
Weinstein was sitting in the courtroom as the officials from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office announced their intention to take the case back to a jury. The trial could begin as quickly as September, if room can be found on the court calendar.
“We are happy to hear that the prosecutors want a speedy trial,” Weinstein chief attorney Arthur Aidala told the court as he once again proclaimed his client’s innocence. “It’s a new trial, it’s a new day … his life is on the line.”

Exclusive: Despite a myriad of health issues landing the incarcerated Harvey Weinstein in hospital last week, the much-accused producer is still expected to show up in court tomorrow — at least right now.
“Mr. Weinstein entered prison with serious medical issues, and they have not magically disappeared, but are being managed,” the producer’s long-time spokesperson Juda Engelmayer tells Deadline of his client who is suffering from diabetes, cardiac issued, sleep apnea, and who is also near blind.
Following the April 25 overturning of his 2020 sex crimes conviction, the past few days have seen a storm of rumors that 72-year-old Weinstein wouldn’t make the re-arraignment hearing in the early afternoon local time at 100 Centre Street in Manhattan. While Weinstein’s current condition is far from critical at present and he is under observation at Bellevue, one well-positioned law enforcement source said that “things could turn on a dime” and not to rule out “more drama.

On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected former Trump adviser Peter Navarro‘s bid to stay out of prison while he appeals his conviction for evading a congressional subpoena.
Navarro, 74, was charged with two counts of contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate with the House January 6 committee investigating the Capitol Riot. Navarro failed to provide documents to the committee and refused to testify. Navarro cited former President Donald Trump‘s executive privilege to maintain confidentiality. However, there is no evidence that Trump ever asserted the privilege or that it would apply in this case.
This is Navarro’s second attempt to stay out of prison. In March, Chief Justice John Roberts denied Navarro’s first request. Navarro was ordered to report to a federal prison in Miami on March 19. Navarro renewed his request to Justice Neil Gorsuch. The motion was brought to a full court for a vote. Previously,...

On Meet the Press, host Kristin Welker asked McConnell: “Just to be clear, you said former presidents are not immune from being held accountable. Do you stand by those comments?

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been criticized for his remarks in a case about the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The criticism stems from Thomas’ questioning and his wife’s alleged involvement in the conspiracy surrounding the events leading up to the riot.
In the Supreme Court hearing on a case related to the Capitol riot, Thomas raised the question of whether the federal government had previously charged individuals with obstruction of an official proceeding in the context of violent protests. This statement received backlash on social media, with some critics interpreting it as downplaying the severity of the insurrection.
Former CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin criticized Thomas, saying that his wife’s alleged connection to the conspiracy influenced his handling of the case. Thomas’ wife, Virginia Thomas, had conversations with former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, where she urged him to overturn the 2020 election results. Virginia raised funds...

It was Valentine’s Day earlier this year when, in an Albany courtroom, the seven judges that make up the New York State Court of Appeals spent part of their day hearing oral arguments about potentially overturning the nearly four-year-old landmark trial in which Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of two of five felony counts of rape, resulting in a prison sentence of 23 years. On Thursday, more than two months later, the court announced it has reversed the mogul’s conviction in what is a shocking move to many and a pivotal moment in the #MeToo era.
Others who were closely watching the case and the proceedings on that February day in Albany may feel less shocked by the reversal.

The surprise ruling by New York’s highest court to overturn Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges hinged on a series of decisions by the case’s trial judge, who was accused of making a series of “egregious” errors that biased the jury.
The judge, Justice James M. Burke, was accused of allowing three women who claimed the producer had assaulted them to testify even though they were not part of the charges at hand (under what’s called “Molineux ruling”). Also, that the 72-year-old Weinstein’s right to testify was infringed by allowing prosecutors to cross examine him on unrelated accusations that demonstrated his “appalling, shameful, repulsive conduct.”
“No person accused of illegality may be judged on proof of uncharged crimes that serve only to establish the accused’s propensity for criminal behavior,” the court stated. “Even if we were to regard the evidence against defendant as ‘overwhelming,...

Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers celebrated his overturned rape conviction at a press conference in New York Thursday.
“From the bottom of our hearts, we knew Harvey Weinstein didn’t get a fair trial,” his attorney Arthur Aidala told reporters. “There are some people who are unpopular but we still have to apply the law fairly to.

“From the bottom of our hearts, we knew Harvey Weinstein didn’t get a fair trial,” his attorney Arthur Aidala told reporters. “There are some people who are unpopular but we still have to apply the law fairly to.

“It may sound like an exaggeration, but it’s not, today’s legal ruling is a great day for America because it instills in us the faith that there is a justice system,” proclaimed Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer Arthur Aidala today after New York’s Appeals Court threw out his client’s 2020 conviction and ordered a new trial.
“If it’s a former president of the United States or the most storied Hollywood producer of our generation, the law applies to everyone,” Aidala added Thursday just a few feet away from the criminal court building where Donald Trump’s hush money trial is going on right now.
“It’s like this case begins brand new, like it was …six years ago when he was initially arrested and brought in” the attorney said of what happens next, saying he passed the news of the ruling onto Weinstein early this morning as the order was released.

Update: Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism of Donald Trump’s argument that presidents enjoy broad immunity, but they wrestled with which certain official acts could be shielded from prosecution and which would not.
There were some suggestions of sending the case base to lower courts to decide, on an individual basis, which of the charges against Trump could be deemed as private acts and subject to criminal liability. That is a prospect that could lead to further delay in Trump’s election conspiracy case, perhaps until after the 2024 election.
A number of the justices expressed concerns that their decision in the case would impact future presidents after they leave office and the extent to which they could be subject to criminal prosecution. Justice Samuel Alito hypothesized about political rivals being prosecuted and “a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country.”
Justice John Roberts in particular seemed to find troubles...

Harvey Weinstein’s accusers slammed the decision to overturn his New York rape conviction, saying it’s “profoundly unjust” and a “major step back.”
The New York Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction on Thursday in a 4-3 decision, ruling that the trial showed prejudice to him by allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. Weinstein will now face a new trial.
“The news today is not only disheartening, but it’s profoundly unjust,” said the Silence Breakers, a group of Weinstein survivors, in a statement. “But this ruling does not diminish the validity of our experiences or our truth; it’s merely a setback. The man found guilty continues to serve time in a California prison. When survivors everywhere broke their silence in 2017, the world changed. We continue to stand strong and advocate for that change. We will continue to fight for justice for survivors everywhere.

As Donald Trump sat through another day of damning testimony in his criminal hush-money trial, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in his bid to establish widespread presidential immunity from criminal prosecution over “official” acts committed in office.
The case before the Supreme Court stems from Trump’s ongoing efforts to delay or dismiss the Justice Department’s case against him over his role in efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 riot. The court’s decision will have profound implications on the criminal indictments currently on the former president’s rap sheet.

Four years after Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of rape in New York, a victory for the #MeToo movement, the disgraced film mogul’s conviction has been overturned. On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals reached a 4-3 decision to overturn the conviction.
In a 77-page decision, the majority of judges decided that the judge who oversaw Weinstein’s trial, Justice James M. Burke, should not have allowed prosecutors to let accusers whose allegations were not part of the charges against him to testify in the trial.

Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by the New York Court of Appeals.
On Thursday, the court found in a 4-3 ruling that the judge in Weinstein’s trial — a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement that the 2017 allegations against him started — had shown prejudice by allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. The court has now ordered a new trial.
Weinstein, the Oscar-winning producer of “Shakespeare in Love” and “Good Will Hunting,” is serving a 23-year sentence at the Mohawk Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison in Rome, N.Y. He will remain imprisoned as he was also convicted of rape in Los Angeles in 2022 and sentenced to an additional 16 years in prison. However, Weinstein was acquitted in the Los Angeles trial on charges involving a woman who testified in his New York case.
Weinstein spokesperson Juda Engelmayer said in a statement: “We’re cautiously excited.

Even conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Catholic abortion opponent, had some fierce inquiries for Idaho Solicitor General Joshua Turner, who refused to specify what medical conditions qualify for emergency abortions.

In 2022, the fall of Roe v. Wade ignited concerns that access to contraception may be the next target. Legislative records of many Republican lawmakers reveal that these fears are not baseless.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas advocated for a reconsideration of long-standing precedents, such as the landmark 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut decision, which granted married couples the right to use contraceptives without government interference. Thomas’s opinion poses a direct threat to contraception rights.
President Joe Biden recently announced measures aimed at reducing barriers to contraceptive access. On Twitter, Biden accused “Maga Republicans” of attempting to restrict women in America from safe and Fda-approved contraception, even in states where women’s healthcare choices remain protected.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) challenged the president’s statement and asserted that “Maga Republicans” are not trying to obstruct women’s access to contraceptives and that Biden shouldn’t mislead women by suggesting that...

John Sauer, a lawyer arguing Donald Trump’s presidential immunity case, generated significant controversy when he asserted, in response to a judge’s hypothetical, that a president could not be prosecuted if he were to order the assassination of a political rival — unless he were first impeached and convicted.
With that case now before the Supreme Court, Sauer is arguing that justices should not be concerned with “lurid hypotheticals” that “almost certainly never will occur, and would virtually certainly result in impeachment and Senate conviction … if they did occur.”

If Coachella stages were categorized as internet slang, last week, Heineken House was the Iykyk (If you know, you know) of the nation’s most prominent music festival. Tucked away in the corner of the Empire Polo Club grounds on the festival’s opening weekend, Heineken set up the perfect oasis to bop your head, sip a lager, and take a beat to lounge in the grass while getting away from the crowds — until, of course, the crowds caught word and made their way inside.

For the Australian alt-dance trio Rüfüs Du Sol, playing Coachella feels like returning to a home away from home. Composed of Tyrone Lindqvist on vocals, Jon George on keys, and James Hunt on drums, the group had long dreamed of playing the California festival before they showcased their album Bloom, a celestial 11-track house album, at Coachella in 2016, followed by a live set in the desert in 2019.

At the Oscars in 2019, one production company was at the center of the year’s most talked about films and on the cusp of the industry’s sweeping trends. The man who backed it, however, wasn’t at the ceremony.
That year the films made by Participant Media collected 17 Oscar nominations, for Green Book, which eventually won best picture and went on to gross $321.8 million worldwide; Roma, which broke Netflix into the best picture race for the first time; and Rbg, the documentary about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg that managed to become one of the highest-grossing independent films of 2018.
In an indicator of Participant and its backer, tech billionaire Jeff Skoll’s unique, dual missions, the Oscar gatherings Participant threw that year included a viewing party for the National Domestic Workers Alliance at The Jane Club, a nod to the lead character in Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma, and...

The sudden end of Participant Media came as a shock to many in the entertainment industry, but it hit documentary filmmakers particularly hard, with some concerned that backers for serious-minded, issue-driven projects are becoming ever more scarce.
Since its founding in 2004, the company — which sought to bring stories that could spark change to a wide audience — has been a staunch supporter of documentaries focused on social and justice issues, funded by the largesse of a billionaire, ex-eBay president Jeff Skoll.
None of its other nonfiction titles quite achieved the heights of 2006’s An Inconvenient Truth, released just two years after the company was formed: The Davis Guggenheim-directed film about Al Gore’s climate change slideshow rocketed to become the third-highest-grossing doc ever at the time and focused mainstream attention on climate change, inspiring studies about its impact. “That’s why we exist,” Skoll told The Hollywood Reporter in 2006, as Truth became a sensation.

The shocking news that Participant, a leading producer of specialized/independent features with a socially relevant interest as well many top documentaries, is shutting down immediately hit the industry hard Tuesday. With a profile of co-produced films over the last 20 years that rivals any other company’s slate, this was devastating news.
Founder and owner Jeff Skoll’s decision to shut down his company will impact the production of a certain kind of specialized film, particularly in the documentary field. Never a distributor, and most often collaborating with other production companies, Participant was still a significant force for most of its two decades.
But what’s the real impact of this move? Jonathan Dana, a veteran distribution executive and producer, commented, “It didn’t fail. It just ran its course.” That typifies much of the insider reaction, which relates to the specific purpose and goals of the company.

In a filing to the Australian Stock Exchange, Seven West said that Jeff Howard, currently its chief finance officer, will take over as MD and CEO with effect from Friday. Craig Haskins will act as interim CFO until a successor to Howard is appointed.

Among the scandals, one was recently revealed in a court case that did not directly involve Seven, but instead appeared to reveal much about it.

In a 2011 interview with E Online, she confirmed her height as “five five and a half.” This is an inch taller than the average height of an adult American woman, which is approximately 5 feet 4 inches (162.5 cm).

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday regarding a challenge to federal laws that have allowed the Justice Department to charge hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters with obstruction of an official proceeding. The court’s decision could reduce the sentences of many Jan. 6 defendants — and grant a major boon to former President Donald Trump in his own federal election subversion case.
The case in question is Fischer v. United States. Joseph Fischer was charged with obstruction of an official proceeding, assaulting a police officer, and disorderly conduct for his actions in the Capitol on Jan.

Zee5’s Silence… Can You Hear It? is an investigative drama film about the death of a young girl who was the daughter of a retired justice. Crime thrillers are a rage in the Ott space, and there are multiple films and television shows in the genre that are either brilliant or plain bad. There was no reason stated or understood as to why the movie was titled Silence… Can You Hear It? because it doesn’t seem to bear any relevance with the actual content of the movie.
Silence 1 begins with a few young college students trekking at a spot far away from Mumbai. The boys accidentally find the dead body of Pooja Chaudhary. It was obvious she was murdered, and her body was dumped this far away in the hope it would not be discovered by anyone. Pooja Chaudhary was the daughter of a retired justice who was good friends with Kavita Khanna.
