Trump’s Lawyers Slam Alvin Bragg’s Recent Hush Money Case Idea: ‘Absurd’ [Video]

President-elect Donald Trump‘s lawyers slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s recent hush money case proposal as “absurd” in a new legal filing.

What to Know About Trump’s Hush Money Case

Trump’s election win has complicated Bragg’s case in which a New York jury in late May found Trump, who was a former president at the time, guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels shortly before his first presidential election in 2016. Daniels alleges she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, which he denies. The former president has maintained his innocence, claiming the case is politically motivated.

The judge overseeing the case, Juan Merchan, has to make the difficult decision of how to move forward with the case as Trump heads to the White House in a few weeks. In the meantime, Merchan postponed Trump’s sentencing, originally scheduled to take place in …

Fitness helping women build friendships with strangers [Video]

As an adult, it can sometimes be difficult making new friends. There's no step-by-step process. But, a Milwaukee social group is working to make it easier for people by combining friendship with fitness.With this group, there's no need to run or jog. These women walk and call themselves "Girls Who Walk Milwaukee," The idea is to build friendship one step at a time. Sam Schulte founded the group and created something she saw a need for. "I think it's really accessible for a lot of people and it's easy to talk and meet people and connect and share conversation while you're walking," said Schulte. With one foot in front of the other, dozens of women walked around Estabrook Park in Shorewood. They braved the cold with their coats, scarves and coffee for a common purpose -- fitness and friendship, which is not always easy. "Meeting new friends as an adult is really hard," said Schulte. It's the reason Ariana Brooks joined; she moved to Milwaukee less than a year ago. "To meet people in the Milwaukee area, more girls," said Brooks. "I've gotten to know a couple girls like more so in person than Instagram. So, it's been great."One new friend she met is Anna Brandt who says she loves the walking group. Girls Who Walk Milwaukee started in May 2023. At some of the first walks, Schulte says 20-30 people showed up. Now, she says, there are sometimes 70 women. With each step, strangers turn into friends. It's one of the best parts for Schulte. "That's one of my favorite parts of the walks is when there's people kind of lingering around afterwards, exchanging phone numbers and Instagram handles. So it's really cool to see that happen," said Schulte. The dates and locations for the walks vary. The group is always looking for new routes to explore. The next walk is Saturday at 10 a.m. at Lakefront Brewery. If you can't make it this weekend, visit the group's Instagram page for the schedule.
