Donald Trump

Within hours of his historic arraignment this spring, Donald Trump fixed his ire on the judge, complaining that he's "a Trump hating-judge" with a family full of "Trump haters."
On Friday, the former president's lawyers doubled down on that criticism, demanding Judge Juan Manuel Merchan step aside from his New York City criminal case because of what they say is anti-Trump bias and a conflict of interest arising from his daughter's work for some of Trump's Democratic rivals.
Trump's lawyers allege that Merchan, a respected jurist in Manhattan's criminal court, tipped the scales in two other Trump-related cases by involving himself in plea negotiations for Trump's longtime finance chief and requiring him to testify against Trump's company in exchange for a five-month jail sentence.
Trump's lawyers, Susan Necheles and Todd Blanche, also asked Merchan to explain three political donations totalling USD45 that were made to Democratic causes in his name during the 2020 election cycle.

Kapil Sibal

Rajya Sabha MP and former law minister Kapil Sibal on Friday said the Law Commission's recommendations backing the sedition law are contrary to the ethos and the very foundations of the republic.
The commission has proposed retaining the penal provision for the offence of sedition, saying repealing it altogether can have serious adverse ramifications for the security and integrity of the country.
Addressing a press conference, Sibal said, "I am disturbed at these recommendations. These recommendations themselves are contrary to the ethos of the republic. They are contrary to the essence of the very republic, they are contrary to the very foundations of the republic."
"They have given the status of the government as if the government is the state. Government is installed through the will of the people; it does not represent the state. It works for the state. This is a law that is conceptually flawed," the senior advocate said.
