CJN Bans Lawyers, Court Officials to Stop Using ‘Barrister’ as Official Title The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, has directed lawyers, court officials and other legal personnel to discontinue the use of “Barrister” as a prefix to their names in all official engagements at the Supreme Court.

 Man pardoned by Trump in 'fake electors' case seeks relief for separate assault charge

Harrison Floyd, an ex-Marine and former Trump campaign staffer, may benefit from a broader effect of President Donald Trump’s sweeping pardon of so-called “fake electors,” his attorney suggested on Monday. Floyd was among 77 individuals pardoned in connection with efforts to challenge the 2020 election, including high-profile figures like Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman, and Mark Meadows. While most pardons addressed state-level cases outside presidential authority, Floyd faces a separate federal charge for allegedly assaulting an FBI agent in 2023.

Floyd’s attorney, Carlos J.R. Salvado, said the pardon could plausibly apply to the federal assault case. Floyd is accused of attacking two FBI agents sent to serve a subpoena as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into 2020 election subversion. Reports indicate Floyd body-slammed one agent and shouted obscenities during the incident. Court records show Floyd has not entered a plea on the assault charge, and his legal team had been preparing for trial. The language in Trump’s pardon broadly covers “any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.” Floyd celebrated the pardon on social media, calling it the “best birthday present ever.”
