Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:38:52 GMT

(The Hill) - Former President Trump wrote a social media post Wednesday railing against the judge overseeing his New York civil fraud case and told him to leave his children alone. He also argued that there is enough evidence for the case to be thrown out.“This Rigged Trial, brought by the Racist New York State A.G. Letitia James before Trump and developer Hating Judge, Arthur Engoron, which should have never been brought in that the so-called STAR WITNESS, SleazeBag Lawyer (for many people) Michael Cohen, admitted last week on the stand that he LIED,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, referencing his former personal lawyer.“Therefore, on that fact alone, this Fake Case should be dismissed,” he added.The former president claimed in his post that the financial statements from his businesses were actually lower than the true value — contrary to some of the testimony presented in the trial.

What's Brad Underwood looking forward to from Illinois basketball in 2023-2024

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:38:52 GMT

CHICAGO — Over the past few seasons, he's helped return the program to the top of the Big Ten conference. In 2021, Illinois won the Big Ten Men's Basketball tournament and then next year got a share of the regular season championship for the first time since 2005. After the program missed the NCAA Tournament for nearly a decade, they've gone to the "Big Dance" the last three seasons. Now Brad Underwood is hoping Illinois takes its next step toward the program's first national championship with a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, something that's escaped the Illini so far in his tenure at the school.That journey in 2023-2024 included an exhibition game win over No. 1 Kansas on Sunday, but really begins on Monday when they open the season against Eastern Illinois at the State Farm Center. Before that happens, Underwood joined GN Sports to talk about what's ahead for the team with Jarrett Payton. You can watch that conversation from the October 31 show in the video above.
