HeadlineOct 06, 2025

Authorities in South Carolina have launched an investigation after the home of South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein was set on fire. The judge was not home at the time, but three members of her family have been hospitalized, including her husband, a former Democratic state senator. Judge Goodstein had received death threats recently after President Trump’s Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon criticized the judge for temporarily blocking the state’s election commission from releasing its voter files to the Department of Justice.
