President Donald Trump's campaign and Republican officials have filed nearly two dozen lawsuits since Election Day. It's an attempt to contest the results of the 2020 election. But according to Business Insider, none of the lawsuits so far have ended in victory. The campaign filed lawsuits and motions to intervene in cases in swing states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. They've notched zero victories, 19 cases where they've withdrawn or lost. Three cases remain pending. The Trump campaign had one win in Pennsylvania, where a judge ruled an issue over voter ID. verification. However, the state Supreme Court later overturned it.
"That sentence that was just handed down by this court was obscene, that number was obnoxious," says Donna Rotunno, Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer, after he is sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault in a landmark case for the #MeToo movement. SOUNDBITE
Harvey Weinstein's legal team have claimed he may die in jail if he's sentenced to more than five years behind bars.
Arthur Aidala, a defense lawyer for Harvey Weinstein, says "the appellant lawyers think there are plenty of appellant issues" after the fallen Hollywood mogul was convicted of sex assault and rape, but was cleared of predatory sexual assault charges. IMAGES
