Trump files long-shot appeal of judge’s order for Pence to testify in January 6 probe

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 11:50:11 GMT

(CNN) — Former President Donald Trump has appealed a judge’s order that former Vice President Mike Pence must testify to a federal grand jury investigating the 2020 election aftermath but hasn’t gotten a court’s intervention to block Pence from testifying, according to a person familiar with the case.Trump’s attempt to claim executive privilege around their conversations is considered a long shot, given that the former president has lost several attempts in court to block other top officials from his administration from testifying.Pence has said he would not appeal the judge’s order from late March and would comply with his subpoena. He could be called before the grand jury as early as this week.Sealed filings in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals related to Trump’s appeal came in on Monday and do not indicate Trump is seeking any emergency intervention at this time, though one of his lawyers was spotted at the courthouse on...

“Advika and the Hollywood Wives” by Kirthana Ramisetti (Grand Central)Evening. Interior. We open on an Oscars afterparty, where Advika Srinivasan is making drinks for half of Hollywood while barely holding on to a measured, service industry demeanor despite the belligerence and entitlement of the tipsy, trophy-toting guests. But the evening takes a wild turn when a handsome producer takes an interest in Advika, marking a complete shift in the 26-year-old’s life as she falls hard for the Oscar-winning — and much older — Julian Zelding. And, let’s face it, it doesn’t hurt that he has extensive Hollywood connections that might help Advika break into the industry to become a renowned Indian screenwriter. Almost before she knows it, Advika is married to Julian. When Julian’s first ex-wife dies shortly after, her will promises Advika $1 million if she divorces the man. Kirthana Ramisetti’s second novel, “Advika and the Hollywood Wives,” follows Advika as she sleuths to uncover every...
