In other Trump legal news, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon held two hearings in the federal classified documents case â but [still refuses to set a new trial date](. Over in Arizona, Rudy Giuliani and nearly a half dozen others accused of attempting to interfere in the 2020 election [were arraigned](. Republican National Committee [âelection integrityâ lawyer Christina Bobb]( was among the group of alleged schemers, all of whom pleaded not guilty. Meanwhile in Georgia, another hotbed of Trump legal drama, Fulton County [District Attorney Fani Willis]( and [Judge Scott McAfee]( both won their respective primary races. Splitting his time between the courtroom and the 2024 campaign trial, Trump hosted a campaign rally in the Bronx. In an ill-fated attempt to appeal to Black voters, Trump invited [rappers accused of murder]( to join him on stage and later went on to [exaggerate the turnout]( â bigly. Elsewhere, Justice Samuel Alito has found himself in yet another flag controversy. The history of the [controversial âAppeal to Heavenâ flag](seen flying outside Alitoâs beach house in 2023 is chilling. And in a Thursday ruling authored by the justice, the court [sided with South Carolina Republicans]( in a racial gerrymandering case. But donât expect [a decision in Trumpâs immunity](case anytime soon. Missed something? Don't worry. Here are our select columns and videos from the week.
