(KANSAS CITY, Mo.) — One of the former skating partners of two-time U.S. pairs champion John Coughlin has accused him in a series of Facebook posts of sexually assaulting her over a two-year period. Coughlin, who killed himself in January, “hurt at least 10 people including me,” wrote Bridget Namiotka, who skated with Coughlin from 2004, when she was 14, through the 2007 season. Namiotka’s attorney confirmed to The Associated Press the comments were made by her. “My office alone represents three women across a generation who really didn’t know each other until they found they had very similar stories, and all of them wanted to keep their privacy because nobody wants to disclose this,” said John Manly, who has represented victims of sexual abuse for more than 25 years.

  • Trump Trial: Day 3 - SCOTUS And More Pecker
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 04/25/2024 - 07:40 PM

    Thursday was a HUGE day in court for Donald Trump. TWO courts, actually. The Supreme Court in DC heard Donald Trumps "TOTAL IMMUNITY FOR LIFE" case and the New York Election Interference (Hush Money/Stormy Daniels) case continued with David Pecker on the stand for day 3. First, the Supreme Court. Some observations: I can say with reasonable confidence that if you’re arguing a case in the Supreme Court of the United States and Justices Alito and Sotomayor are tag-teaming you, you are going to lose. — George Conway (@gtconway3d) April 25, 2024 These are some of the most extreme, authoritarian arguments presented to the Supreme Court in the modern era.

  • Bannon Guest Very Excited That Trump Could Prosecute Obama
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 04/25/2024 - 07:34 PM

    Meet Mike Davis of The Article III Project, a right-wing outfit that backs Mr. Trump’s judicial nominees. Brett Kavanaugh described Davis as a "warrior" on his behalf. Yeah. Now Davis has nothing to do but go on Bannon and make mouth noises regarding fantasies about prosecuting Barack Obama for murder. Video and transcript via Media Matters: MIKE DAVIS (ARTICLE III PROJECT): If the Supreme Court does not rule the right way and protects the presidency and therefore our country, that means the Trump 47 Justice Department can indict President Obama for capital murder, along with now-Judge David Barron on the First Circuit Court of Appeals, who was his legal advisor at the time, for their drone strike — extrajudicial drone strike — on two American citizens, including a minor.

  • Justice Sotomayor Slays Ridiculous Presidential Immunity Claims
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 04/25/2024 - 07:00 PM

    During Thursday's Supreme Court hearing, Trump lawyer John Sauer was made to look foolish trying to defend his claim that the president would get immunity even if he assassinates his political rival. Justice Sotomayor was not amused. Sotomayor: Your answer below, I'm going to give you a chance to say if you stay by it – if the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity? Sauer: It would depend on the hypothetical, but we can see that could well be an official act. Sotomayor: It could.
