Talk of Trump 2024 Run Builds As Legal Pressure Intensifies

Talk of Trump 2024 run builds as legal pressure intensifies
By JILL COLVIN Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Multiple people who have spoken with Donald Trump and his team in recent weeks say they sense a shift, with the former president increasingly acting and talking as though he plans to mount another White House bid. Trump will deliver a speech in North Carolina this weekend as he begins a more public phase of his post-presidency. The interest in another run, at least for now, comes as a flurry of investigations poses the most serious legal threat Trump has ever faced. New York prosecutors have convened a special grand jury to consider evidence in their criminal investigation into his business dealings.

Edward Surratt Admits To Killing Three People In Beaver County in The Late 1970’s

Harrisburg, PA – Members of the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Troop D Criminal Investigation Assessment Unit recently cleared four state police homicide investigations by securing confessions from a convicted killer. The accused, Edward A. Surratt, is currently serving two life sentences for crimes he committed in Florida and has also been convicted of murder in South Carolina.
In March, PSP investigators traveled to the Raiford Correctional Facility in Raiford, Florida to personally interview Surratt. Surratt implicated himself in four unsolved PSP homicide investigations involving the deaths of six people. The homicides took place in 1977 and 1978.

District attorneys in each county agreed not to prosecute Surratt for the cold-case homicides due to his life sentences in other jurisdictions.
“PSP investigators never stopped seeking justice for the victims of these terrible crimes and their families,” said Lieutenant Colonel Scott Price, deputy commissioner of operations for the Pennsylvania State Police. “We hope that the confessions announced today will help bring some semblance of closure to the victims’ loved ones.”
PSP investigators began communicating with Surratt from his prison cell in Florida about unsolved homicides in Pennsylvania in 2018. Surratt provided information on the cases listed above.
