Gunman breaks into Colorado Supreme Court building, holds guard at gunpoint

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:53:00 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — A man leaving the scene of a car wreck early Tuesday morning shot his way into the Colorado Supreme Court building and inflicted “extensive damage” to the building before being arrested by police, authorities said, adding the incident seems unrelated to the court's recent ruling banning former President Donald Trump from the ballot.Colorado's justices have received threats ever since they ruled 4-3 last month that a rarely-used constitutional provision barring from office those who “engaged in insurrection” applies to Trump. Authorities, however, said Tuesday's incident appears unrelated to that case. Trump is expected to appeal that ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court later Tuesday.“The CSP and DPD are treating this incident seriously, but at this time, it is believed that this is not associated with previous threats to the Colorado Supreme Court Justices,” the Colorado State Patrol said in a statement said, using the acronyms for the state patrol a...

Voter data expert hired by Trump campaign says 2020 election was not stolen

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:53:00 GMT

(The Hill) - Ken Block, whom the Trump campaign hired in 2020 to find voter fraud in the election, penned an op-ed Tuesday stating unequivocally that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen and that there was no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of the election.“Can a steady diet of lies and innuendo overcome the truth?” the USA Today op-ed began. “In November 2020, former President Donald Trump asserted that voter fraud had altered the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The day after the election, his campaign hired an expert in voter data to attempt to prove Trump’s allegations and put him back in the White House.”“I am the expert who was hired by the Trump campaign,” Block wrote.Former President Donald Trump speaks after exiting the courtroom for a break at New York Supreme Court, Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023, in New York.

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- An H-E-B shopper topped off their 2023 in arguably the best way possible over the weekend after buying a winning lottery ticket. The ticket made its buyer $34 million richer. It was sold at the H-E-B on Village Center Drive, according to the Texas Lottery website. It matched all six winning numbers drawn on Dec. 30, which were: 6, 7, 23, 34, 37, 50. Almost 2,000 Texans have won more than $1 million in state lottery history The winner opted for a cash value option, the website said, which means they took home one lump sum cash prize rather than several payments. In the last month, two other winning lottery tickets worth more than $1 million have been claimed in Austin. One of the winners brought home $3 million after claiming a top prize in the Texas Lottery scratch ticket game “$750 Million Winner’s Circle," while the other claimed $2 million from a winning Texas Powerball ticket.
