/1🚨BREAKING🚨

We are releasing documents highlighting the numerous egregious errors in the politically-motivated prosecution of President Trump by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

This prosecution was a legal abomination and disgrace.

We are exposing the grave legal errors: Image
/2 For over a year, Alvin Bragg’s Office has used abusive and partisan lawfare to host a show trial persecution of President Trump.

The blatant disregard for the rule of law and politicization of the legal system is evident throughout this prosecution.
/3 To expose this abuse of prosecutorial power, AFL has systematically documented each of these issues and released them as one-page summaries.
/4 The Bragg prosecution failed on a wide range of issues, touching nearly every portion of criminal procedure…
/5 First, the indictment violated due process and, thus, the guarantee of a fair trial.

Second, the egregious judge’s bias was one of the many misapplications of the law.

Third, there were evidentiary issues that violated over a century of precedent. It is clear there were reversible errors every step of the way in the New York criminal prosecution.
/6 To document just how egregious each issue is, AFL has released a series of documents, each focusing on a discrete issue with the Bragg case.

This series explains the glaring legal errors, including…
/7🚨Violation of President Trump’s Sixth Amendment rights requiring a unanimous jury verdict to convict: Image
/8🚨How New York state lacked authority to bring violations of federal election law: Image
/9🚨How the prosecution violated the Molineux Rule governing the admissibility of certain testimony against President Trump: Image
/10🚨Why Judge Merchan should have recused himself, given clear biases: Image
/11🚨How the prosecution violated President Trump’s Due Process rights to fair notice of the crime he was charged with: Image
/12🚨How New York State Court was the incorrect court for the prosecution: Image
/13🚨The double standard the court employed when it came to the testimony of Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen versus the testimony of Brad Smith, and how that was used against President Trump:

Image

Image
/14🚨Omission of evidence relating to the Office of Government Ethics’ review of the classification of payments to Cohen: Image
/15🚨Prosecutor Bragg’s political motivation: Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a new lawsuit against HHS and CMS to expose the architects behind a Biden-era organ transplant policy that financially rewards higher transplant volume and prioritizes race in transplant decisions. Image
/2 Last week, AFL filed a lawsuit to determine who within the Biden Administration was behind its race-based organ transplant policy.

This new lawsuit seeks to uncover the outside influencers who shaped the program, and why.
/3 The lawsuit targets the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for failing to produce records tied to a federal transplant program that rewards hospitals for increasing kidney transplant volume and embeds race into the process.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL DEFEATED Maricopa County’s attempt to hijack County Recorder Justin Heap’s election integrity lawsuit and block us from representing him.

An Arizona court fully rejected the blatant power grab.

Our lawsuit against Maricopa County will now proceed. Image
/2 After Recorder Heap chose AFL to represent him in a lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell filed another lawsuit against him, claiming that she had the right to select his attorney, and she did not want AFL to represent him.
/3 In its ruling, the Maricopa County Superior Court held that Arizona law does not give the county attorney authority to control a county officer’s legal representation.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL has BROKEN Nashville’s years-long stonewalling over the Covenant School shooter’s “manifesto.”

A Tennessee appeals court REJECTED Nashville’s attempt to withhold records related to the shooting and keep the public in the dark. Image
/2 The ruling from the Court of Appeals of Tennessee at Nashville reverses most of a lower court decision that allowed the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Metro) to withhold the shooter’s “manifesto” in full.
/3 The court’s ruling made clear that government agencies cannot rely on sweeping legal theories to justify total secrecy, and must instead conduct a record-by-record review, redacting only what is lawfully protected and releasing the rest under Tennessee’s Public Records Act.

/1🏛️NEW SCOTUS BRIEF — 

AFL filed a brief on behalf of @tedcruz, @Jim_Jordan, and 26 members of Congress urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship and restore the Fourteenth Amendment’s original meaning. Image
/2 AFL’s brief, filed in partnership with Boyden Gray PLLC, supports President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.”
/3 Executive Order 14160 restores the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which the lower courts wrongly blocked by expanding birthright citizenship beyond what the U.S. Constitution allows.

/3 The Supreme Court’s decision to take the case puts this dispute on the main stage.
