#DOBvSBP Jury in Denis O'Brien's defamation case against Sunday Business Post will hear closing arguments this morning.

In October 2018, amid the #MeTooIndia movement, #PriyaRamani accused #MJAkbar of sexual harassment and misconduct along with several other women. This led Akbar to step down as junior foreign minister and file a defamation suit against Ramani. Here is a timeline of the events:

Just Live With It
@bbc_thismorning
This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

👿Projection Much?👿

NYS vs Donald J. Trump Foundation. Trump, DonJr, Ivanka, Eric re “persistent illegal conduct...”

Trump directed his Foundation funds to be used to settle a lawsuit related to Mar-A-Lago.

Trump used the foundation funds to bolster his 2016 presidential bid
👿Projection Much?2👿

The Trump Foundation was one big ‘persistently illegal’ scam, What a shock!

Instead of sending 💰 collected on behalf of “Veterans Orgs” Trump & Lewandowski directed the funds sent to a retired Army vet who was Trump’s campaign’s SE Regional Dir. 🙄
👿Projection Much?3👿

Remember how @GOP baselessly attacked Clinton Foundation? PROJECTION!

OIG Rpt confirms Comey broke from FBI Procedures in Clinton Probe, but not politically motivated (helped Trump, harmed HRC) & confirmed FBI is acting appropriately in the investigations
