Trump pence rally grand rapids

Washington — The Georgia prosecutor examining former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results is seeking to compel several Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Lindsey Graham, to testify before the special grand jury investigating the scheme. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis petitioned the judge overseeing the panel to issue certificates determining Giuliani, Graham and others are material witnesses to the investigation, the first step in asking courts in other states to compel the witnesses to appear in Georgia. Conservative attorney John Eastman and pundit Jacki Deason were also identified as material witnesses, as well as Trump attorneys Cleta Mitchell, Kenneth Chesebro and Jenna Ellis. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported the move to compel the witnesses' testimony. The certificates state the witnesses would be required to testify as early as July 12. An attorney for Giuliani said the former New York … [Read more...] about Georgia grand jury investigating Trump wants testimony from Giuliani, Graham and others

Novak Djokovic came from two sets down to defeat rising star Jannik Sinner 5-7 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 in a stunning win that saw the World No.1 clinch a place in the semi-finals of Wimbledon. The match presented a clash of two talents at very different stages of their career, as the quarter-final was Djokovic’s 53rd appearance at such a stage compared to Sinner’s third. However, the young Italian put in a performance that belied his years but he ultimately ran out of steam as the Serb battled back from two sets down. Heading into the match, Djokovic had won 25 successive matches on the hallowed grass of SW19 and to many fans it was a formality that the 35-year-old would defeat Sinner as he pursues a 21st Grand Slam title to close the gap on Rafael Nadal in the battle to have the most men's major singles titles in history. To the delight of thousands of fans packed into a raucous Centre Court , Sinner clearly hadn't read the script. Djokovic started perfectly, and led proceedings … [Read more...] about Novak Djokovic stages comeback to beat Jannik Sinner in five-set Wimbledon epic

The 2022 season has not been one to remember for Novak Djokovic , who will be "angry" and "hurt" as he gets his Wimbledon title defence underway later this month. That's according to former British No. 1 Greg Rusedski , who has highlighted Djokovic's mental strength as one factor that sets him apart from the rest. There's plenty of tennis talent heading to SW19 in fine fettle, but Djokovic's quest to catch up to rival Rafael Nadal in major titles is a key part of the 2022 storyline. “The problem you have is, you have players who have the potential but winning is a totally different thing,” Rusedski told Amazon Prime of Djokovic, who recently lost to rival Nadal at the French Open . “Making the finals is one thing, but you have to have this mindset that’s absolutely insane these days because of the big three or four we’ve had over the generations. “Djokovic is angry because he hasn’t won a Slam this year and the way he went out to Rafa in the French Open will … [Read more...] about Novak Djokovic will be “angry” and “hurting” with turbulent year ahead of Wimbledon

NOVAK DJOKOVIC was given a surprise scare last night - by an unseeded wild card known as Dutch Tim. But the defending champion eventually showed his class against Wimbledon debutant Tim van Rijthoven to win 6-2 4-6 6-1 6-2. Centre Court rang out with cries of "Come on Tim" that hadn't been heard so often here since the days of Tim Henman as the locals took the little-known 25-year-old to heart. Van Rijthoven, whose career has been plagued by injury, is the first wild card to make it this far since 2015 and the world number 104 earned plenty of new fans with his plucky play. He broke six-time champion Djokovic's serve after an epic second-set rally on his way to levelling the match at one set apiece. But the top-seeded Serb roared back to win five games in a row on his way to clinching the third set, before squeezing over the line just before the 11pm curfew. The World No. 1 started effectively, bursting into a 3-0 lead in the first set before Van Rijthoven got his first … [Read more...] about Novak Djokovic overcomes plucky Centre Court test to reach Wimbledon quarter-finals

The coronavirus pandemic is still ravaging America, just as it was in August, when the college presidents and chancellors of the Big Ten Conference decided against playing football in the fall. The only thing that’s changed is that the same leaders now feel far more comfortable with the risks. The Big Ten’s announcement this week that college football will begin the weekend of October 23 isn’t cause for celebration, but rather an indication of how easily money shifts priorities. Without football, the Big Ten and its member schools were in jeopardy of losing up to $1 billion in revenue . Last month, the Big Ten was willing to set a brave example. It decided that its members, most of which are large public universities in the Midwest, would play no football this fall. But instead of being applauded for exhibiting farsighted, selfless leadership, the Big Ten has spent its hiatus being scolded by fans and parents , sued by players , and criticized by coaches . Meanwhile, … [Read more...] about For the Big Ten, the Money Was Just Too Tempting

A delegation of Cabinet ministers are set to meet Boris Johnson at No10 as he heads out of a car crash Liaison Committee meeting this evening to tell him to go. 'Men in grey suits' Welsh Secretary Simon Hart, grim-faced Transport Secretary Grant Shapps and Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis are set to tell the Prime Minister he had lost the confidence of his party. The revelation the PM knew about claims against “grope” accused MP Chris Pincher, then promoted him, then “forgot” he’d been told, was the last straw for many MPs. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and health secretary Sajid Javid led the way yesterday for a wave of Tory resignations . The doomed PM has seen dozens of his own MPs quit in 24 hours, including ministers, parliamentary private secretaries and trade envoys. Meanwhile, Tories have discussed changing the rules of no confidence votes - to force the PM out as soon as next week if he opts to squat in No10. In a day of feverish drama at Westminster the … [Read more...] about Boris Johnson leadership LIVE: Cabinet members queue up to tell PM he must quit
