Illegal and ghost guns on display at the Attorney General Letitia James offices in Manhattan on March 15, 2023. The justices by a 5-4 vote had previously intervened to keep the regulation in effect during the legal fight. Ghost guns, which lack serial numbers, have been turning up at crime scenes with increasing regularity. The requirement applies regardless of how the firearm was made, meaning it includes ghost guns made from individual parts or kits or by 3D printers. The Supreme Court allowed the regulation to remain in effect while the lawsuit continues.

And at a criminal trial, causing a ruckus can bring its own consequences. In a criminal trial, Trump, along with his eager-to-please lawyers, must attend every day. he quipped in response to an argument from one of Trump's lawyers. Technically, Trump faces a maximum of four years in prison for each count he's charged with in his criminal case. The criminal trial will give Trump a chance to hold multiple campaign-boosting rallies before the hallway cameras each day.

REUTERS/Mike Segar/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 17 (Reuters) - Donald Trump wasted little time attacking a New York judge’s top clerk on Thursday after an appeals court paused a gag order barring the former U.S president from speaking publicly about court staff amid his civil fraud trial. Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, took to his Truth Social platform several hours after the gag order by Justice Arthur Engoron was paused to call his “Trump hating” top clerk “politically biased and out of control.”Engoron had imposed the order in October after Trump shared a photo of his top clerk on social media. He has fined Trump a total of $15,000 for twice violating it and warned of more serious consequences for future breaches, including imprisonment. James is seeking at least $250 million in fines and a New York commercial real estate ban against Trump and his sons Donald Jr. and Eric Trump.

You’ve made it important, but it wasn’t," Trump said of the estimates. New York state lawyers argued in their lawsuit that the estimates misled lenders and insurers, earning him $100 million and exaggerating his wealth by $2 billion. Trump's crowded legal calendar threatens to take him off the campaign trail for much of next year. The trial was originally scheduled to run through early December but could wrap up sooner as the state calls its final witnesses this week.

New York (CNN) — Ivanka Trump must testify at her father’s New York civil fraud trial, the judge overseeing the case ruled on Friday. Ivanka Trump’s attorney had argued that she should not be forced to appear after an appellate court removed her as a defendant in the case. The judge also said Ivanka Trump should have submitted an affidavit asserting that she does not live or work in the state presently. Ivanka Trump was still identified by the New York attorney general’s office as a potential witness they could call in the case. Another Trump attorney, Cliff Robert, said Eric Trump is willing to be the corporate representative for the Trump Organization because he’s going to be testifying at trial anyway.

REUTERS/Jeenah Moon Acquire Licensing RightsOct 26 (Reuters) - A New York judge on Thursday reconsidered but ultimately stood by his decision to fine Donald Trump $10,000 for violating a gag order barring the former U.S. president from speaking publicly about court staff during his civil fraud trial. Engoron had agreed to reconsider on Thursday after a lawyer for Trump argued that the offending statement was not directed at his clerk. It is standard practice in New York state court for clerks to sit next to judges, with the witness box on the other side. He had fined Trump $5,000 on Oct. 20 after a screenshot of the since-deleted post remained visible on Trump’s campaign site for weeks.

A Trump attorney shouted, "You lied yesterday," while cross-examining a key state's witness. a lawyer for Trump's side shouted at the witness, prompting five minutes of sometimes shouted cross-accusations of perjury, witness intimidation, and showboating for the press. "Let's calm down," the judge told both sides after asking that the witness — Doug Larson, a former outside Trump Organization appraiser — be escorted out. A lawyer for Attorney General Letitia James of New York objected, without naming Trump, to the "exhortations" coming from the defense table. Soon enough — this time with the testimony highlighted on an overhead screen — the emails-waving Trump lawyer was back shouting, "You lied yesterday, Mr.

[1/3] A supporter of former U.S. President Donald Trump holds up a U.S. national flag at Trump Tower in New York City, U.S., October 1, 2023. The trial comes a week after the judge presiding over the case found Trump liable for fraud and will largely concern the penalties he must face. Justice Arthur Engoron ruled last week that James had proven her fraud case against Trump, his two adult sons and 10 of his companies. That included Trump calculating the value of his apartment in Trump Tower as if it were three times its actual size. Engoron canceled business certificates for companies controlling pillars of Trump’s empire -- including Trump Tower and his golf clubs in New York -- and said he would appoint receivers to oversee their dissolution.

The measure passed, and shortly after midnight on Nov. 24, when it took effect, Ms. Carroll sued Mr. Trump. On Tuesday, that case is scheduled for trial in Federal District Court in Manhattan, where, after years of accusations and angry denials traded in articles, interviews and social media, a jury will be charged with determining the truth. The proceeding will take place amid a barrage of legal cases aimed at Mr. Trump, who is running to regain the presidency, and arguing that the suits and investigations are meant to drag him down. Mr. Trump, 76, has denied that he raped Ms. Carroll, 79, and has attacked her repeatedly in public statements and on social media, both in office and after he left. In 2019, he called Ms. Carroll’s allegation “totally false” and said he could not have raped her because she was not his “type.”
