The beachfront home of United States — North Carolina Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein was destroyed by a massive fire, resulting in injuries to her ex-husband Arnold Goodstein II and other family members. The fire, which Chief Justice John W. Kittredge described as an 'apparent explosion,' is under investigation by the United States — South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, with arson being probed. This incident occurred weeks after Diane Goodstein issued a controversial ruling against the Donald Trump administration, preventing United States — North Carolina from releasing sensitive voter registration data to the federal government. Following her decision, Diane Goodstein reportedly received death threats. Governor Henry McMaster had appealed her ruling, which was later overturned by the United States — North Carolina_Supreme_Court. Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman publicly criticized Stephen Miller and 'MAGA-world' for allegedly 'doxxing' judges, suggesting a link to the fire, though no evidence has officially connected the fire to MAGA supporters.
