A court in Madrid ordered the temporary blocking of the short message service Telegram in
Spain on Sunday, citing a lawsuit from several companies claiming that Telegram was being used to violate copyright protections. Several media companies had brought the lawsuit involving Telegram. Consumer advocates in Spain, where there are several million Telegram users, criticized the measure as disproportionate. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) accused Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) of
BREAKING U.S. laws in an effort to quash a House ethics investigation . During an interview on Face the Nation Sunday, McCarthy praised Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) after she filed a motion to have Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) removed. "Look, the one thing I've always found, when you sit down with a member and talk to them, find out what their concerns are, especially when it's based upon policy, you can solve that problem," he said. "And I watched that with Marjorie, from the vote to Speaker to the vote for the Fiscal Responsibility Act. There's times she [had] a difference of opinion, and you sit down and find common ground." McCarthy then turned to Gaetz, who orchestrated the bid to oust him. "Matt's case was much different," McCarthy said. "It was about a personal thing that he had done, and that's what he was trying to get something illegally stopped." ALSO READ: Scientific proof

Women "This is not the case here," he added. "So I would not be afraid of a motion to vacate. This is about policy." CBS host Margaret Brennan asked McCarthy if he had "evidence to back up your allegation" about Gaetz. "Well, I think the Ethics Committee, it was purely Matt coming to me, trying me to do something illegal to stop the Ethics Committee from moving forward an investigation that was started long before I became Speaker," McCarthy recalled. "Something illegal?" Brennan pressed. "I don't know what the facts are there," McCarthy said of Gaetz's ethics case. "It's a personal issue of what he'd done as a member of
Congress." "I simply would say the Ethics Committee has the right to look at whatever they're going forward, and I'm not going to get in the middle of it one way or another."

Donald Trump is not making the lives of his attorneys any easier as they move into a critical week in the courts . As the former president scrambles to come up with the nearly half billion dollars he needs for his financial fraud appeals bond and he is slated to be in a Manhattan court on Monday to see when his hush money trial will start up, the former prosecutor stated his recent antics are creating new problems . Speaking with host Ali Velshi, who noted the former president claimed on Truth Social that he is flush with cash while also pleading poverty to the appeals court he wants to lower his bond amount, Vance marveled at the chaos the former president is creating. ALSO READ: Here's why conservative elites are bailing on Trump now "Imagine being one of his lawyers and saying one thing in your court papers and having your client undercut you publicly the next day on Truth Social," she began. "The judges are certainly entitled to take a look at Trump's posts in this vein and it would be fair to deny him any sort of measures for forgiveness of the full amount of the bond in the form of the surety bond he has asked for simply because he says he can afford it and he chooses not to." "And I think we have reached a point with Trump where judges should hold him accountable for his words rather than letting him get away with having it one way in court and one way in public," she added. "We are past the point in time where the courts can afford to let that happen." "To your point, there is a little bit more to executing the judgment than showing up with a sheriff," she added. "I think what [New York AG] Tish James has done, has made it clear she is serious, particularly by registering the judgments in Westchester County,
New York where some of the Trump family favorite properties including the National
golf Course are located. So she is sending a signal if he does not get a bond in place she intends to go forward." Watch below or at the link. MSNBC 03 24 2024 10 08 48 youtu.be CONTINUE READING Show less
