Don Jr. wife filed for divorce today

[Minister of Truth]

Who the fuck knows? It's American "news" and we're dispensed bits of sound/vid clips with no way to click on links.

This is why written news is far superior to vid news.

To use a modern expression: "Pictures—or it didn't happen!"

The celebrity divorce lawyer explains that as a result of the impending divorce, Vanessa will no longer be able to assert spousal testimonial immunity, which would have allowed her to avoid testifying against her husband regarding allegations he colluded with Russia.

Sure I do. One of your pals just started a thread with unsubstantiated gossip that Hillary is a drunk.

You lying person. Did I say it was unsubstantiated? You again prove you have no clue what the the word gossip means.

Quit lying Christiefan. You're better than that, I hope.

spousal or marital privilege?

Two Different Privileges

"Marital privilege" and "spousal privilege" really refer to two different kinds of legal privileges. These two privileges are:

The spousal testimony privilege, which allows spouses to decline to testify against one other in a criminal trial; and
The marital communications privilege, which prevents communications between spouses during a marriage from being entered into evidence.
State and federal laws are not always in sync on how these privileges apply.

Spousal Testimony Privilege

Historically, the spousal testimony privilege allowed a spouse in a criminal trial to deny his spouse from testifying against him. But many states, and the U.S. Supreme Court, now hold that the spouse who might act as a witness is the one who holds the power to testify or not.

This privilege lasts only as long as the marriage does, and a divorced spouse may testify about any events that occurred before, during, and after the marriage without disrupting the spousal testimony privilege.

Marital Communications Privilege

Unlike the spousal testimony privilege, this privilege lasts long after the marriage is over -- but it only applies to communications that occurred during the marriage. It is also available in civil as well as criminal court.

Using the marital communications privilege makes it possible for either spouse to object to presenting evidence of communications between the two which happened during the course of their marriage.

This privilege is similar to other confidential communications like the priest-penitant privilege, and it is destroyed when communication is shared or overhead by a someone outside the marriage.

Boy you really do have a chip on your shoulder. I said the thread about Hillary being a drunk was unsubstantiated gossip, and you read it as saying I accused Y O U of saying the word. You seem to have a comprehension problem, or maybe you just wanted to shoot off a snarky response without understanding what I wrote.

There was no lie yurtsie. Stop making it something it wasn't. The thread about Hillary being a drunk was unsubstantiated gossip. Deal with it.

All over the net. Divorce coming. So what.

The WIFE of the son of a pussy-grabbing President, likely under federal investigation, (son and father) who has 5 kids, 2 under 5 years old files for divorce and it's not a story? Get real!
