With an early morning social media post on Friday, Trump inserted himself into the chaotic race to replace Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker by backing Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan for the post. Jordan is facing at least one other candidate — House Majority Leader Steve Scalise — who is also on good terms with Trump. Political Cartoons View All 1202 ImagesRegardless of who becomes the next speaker, Trump has undeniable sway over House Republicans. All I can say is we’ll do whatever’s best for the country and for the Republican Party,” Trump told reporters at the courthouse Wednesday. Trump's agenda while in office was often thwarted by congressional leaders from his own party as he clashed with former House Speaker Paul Ryan and then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The appellate court last week rejected the defense’s last-minute effort to delay the trial just days before it began. On Thursday, Trump’s lawyers dropped a lawsuit they filed against Engoron as part of that challenge. Political Cartoons View All 1202 ImagesThe appellate court has yet to rule on the latest appeal. Trump's lawyers argued that Engoron had “no rationale or legal authority” to impose what they described as “the corporate death penalty." “Perhaps most alarming is (the court's) incomprehension of the sweeping and significant consequences of its own ruling,” Trump's lawyers said in their appeal Friday, describing Engoron’s ruling as an “overbroad directive that sows confusion and chaos in its implementation.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump has dropped his $500 million lawsuit against Michael Cohen, his former lawyer and fixer who is now a key witness in a criminal case against him, Cohen and a Trump spokesperson said Thursday night. Trump has also accused Cohen of breaking a confidentiality agreement that he signed as a condition of his employment. That testimony was originally set for Oct. 3, but Trump rescheduled so he could attend the first three days of a separate New York civil fraud trial. A Trump spokesperson said Trump had decided “to temporarily pause" the suit against Cohen as he mounts another campaign for the White House and fights criminal charges in four separate jurisdictions, but said he would refile at a later date. “My legal team and I now look forward to turning our full attention to holding Mr. Trump accountable for his latest abuse of the legal system.

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump's court appearances are no longer distractions from his campaign to return to the White House. The appearance demonstrated how deftly Trump has used his legal woes to benefit his campaign. Trump spent the day seated at the defense table observing the proceedings, at times leaning to confer with his lawyers. Kevin Wallace, a lawyer in James’ office, promised to link the cited incidents to a more recent loan agreement. Plans for Trump to attend the New York trial's first days were first revealed in legal filings last week.

Donald Trump has attacked the civil fraud case against him as political. AdvertisementAdvertisementFormer President — and 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner — Donald Trump has long complained that the legal cases against him are political. The New York Attorney General's $250 million civil fraud trial that began Monday morning, he says, is a "witch hunt." One of Trump's lawyers, Alina Habba, lambasted New York Attorney General Letitia James, an elected Democrat. The attorney general's lawsuit alleges that Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and two other Trump Organization executives are liable for fraud for misrepresenting the values of the company's property in financial statements submitted to banks for loans.

Josh Shapiro to bypass the Legislature and start automatic voter registration. “THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO STEAL PENNSYLVANIA AGAIN BY DOING THE ‘AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION’ SCAM,” Trump wrote on his social media platform. Democrats contended that Shapiro was well within his legal authority to authorize automatic voter registration. A survey of several states with automatic voter registration revealed similar experiences. Republicans in some states that have switched to automatic registration say it will lead to fraud or illegal voting, and conservatives in Alaska have attempted to repeal that state’s automatic registration.

But now, as Mr. Trump’s lead in the primary has grown and hardened, the party has dropped Mr. DeSantis from such hypothetical matchups. And the Biden campaign’s polling on Republican candidates is now directed squarely at Mr. Trump, according to officials familiar with the surveys. The sharpened focus on Mr. Trump isn’t happening only behind the scenes. On Sunday, after Mr. Trump sought to muddy the waters on his position on abortion, the Biden operation and its surrogates pushed back with uncommon intensity. On Monday, Mr. Biden told donors at a New York fund-raiser that Mr. Trump was out to “destroy” American democracy, in some of his most forceful language so far about the implications of a second Trump term.

“His response to me was, ‘I’ve given you leverage now to make a better deal,’” recalled DeMastus, who supports some form of a federal ban but isn't ruling out backing Trump even if he doesn't. 2 in part because of his credibility with social conservatives, has declared that every Republican running for president should endorse, at a minimum, a federal abortion ban 15 weeks into pregnancy. Ron DeSantis, who often answers questions about a federal ban by saying his state recently passed a ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. Trump maintains that even some anti-abortion activists believe the six-week ban — before many women even know they’re pregnant — is too harsh. The country’s leading anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, wants GOP presidential candidates to advocate for a 15-week federal ban.

Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a South Dakota Republican party rally in Rapid City, South Dakota, U.S. September 8, 2023. WASHINGTON — Donald Trump on Friday attacked special counsel Jack Smith as a "deranged" prosecutor after his office sought restrictions on what the former president can say about his federal election interference case. "He's a deranged person," he said of Smith, who led two federal investigations into Trump that have yielded criminal indictments. Trump, who is the leading Republican candidate for the party's 2024 presidential nomination, claimed in a speech Friday night that Smith "wants to take away my rights under the First Amendment." Trump is charged with four criminal counts in that case, which alleges he perpetrated multiple conspiracies to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Trump will wade into one of the state's largest sports crowds at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, where Iowa State University will host the University of Iowa. Trump remains far ahead of DeSantis and other rivals in Iowa and nationally. Trump has made a habit of visiting Iowa on the same day as DeSantis, whom Trump treats as his main threat. He was in neighboring South Dakota on Friday night appearing at a state party fundraiser with Gov. Clinton also attended party events with her lesser-known rivals to demonstrate her willingness to undergo the rigor that Iowans typically demand.

Michael Cohen and the Trump Organization cut a deal to settle his lawsuit. It's not clear how much money the Trump Organization paid to settle the case. He alleged the Trump Organization should have covered legal fees for his role in various scandals, lawsuits, and investigations that stemmed from his work for Trump. But his son Donald Trump Jr., an executive at the Trump Organization, had agreed to show up as a witness. Cohen's lawyers argued that Trump Jr. had knowledge of the agreement between Cohen and the Trump Organization to cover legal bills, and that Trump Jr. had his own legal bills covered for some of the same investigations.

Ron DeSantis of Florida is expected to enter the race for the Republican presidential nomination this week. Much of the narrative around him has focused on who he isn’t — Donald Trump. But DeSantis has also claimed the national spotlight for his role in the culture wars. In Florida, he has made education a preferred battleground, carrying out “Don’t Say Gay” policies in public schools and taking over the board of New College, a small public liberal arts institution in Sarasota. The Opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg has been tracking the changes there, and says that DeSantis’s vision for New College speaks volumes about his vision for America.
By the time he won an acquittal in a high-profile, 2011 Manhattan criminal trial, Tacopina had attacked what he called her "functional tolerance" for alcohol. She remembered in graphic detail being immobilized in her bed — too drunk to resist — as she was allegedly raped, she told jurors. "She called him a rapist," Tacopina told the jury in openings Monday. "I can dance backwards and forwards in four-inch heels," she told Tacopina when he questioned her dressing-room balancing act. "It caused me to realize that staying silent does not work," she told Tacopina of the courage she saw in that #MeToo wave.
Ivanka Trump has hired her own lawyer to represent her in an upcoming $250 million civil lawsuit, per Forbes. She ditched the attorneys representing her brothers — Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Shortly after the lawsuit was filed in September, the Trump brothers hired attorneys Clifford Robert and Michael Farina to represent them. The following month, Ivanka Trump also retained the attorneys to work alongside two Washington, D.C. lawyers, Reid Figel and Michael Kellogg, whom she had hired separately, per Forbes. Insider contacted Robert, Farina, Figel, Kellogg, Moskowitz, and the Trump Organization for comment but did not immediately receive responses.
Former US President Donald Trump addresses the crowd during a 2024 election campaign event in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 28, 2023. James is suing Trump, the Trump Organization , three of his adult children — Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump — and others for what she said was widespread fraud involving false financial statements and improper valuation of real estate assets . Trump and the other defendants last week responded to the lawsuit with a court filing that contained so-called verified answers to the allegations. One would be the judge assuming that Trump had effectively admitted the allegations that he and his co-defendants had improperly denied. Wallace pointed to the Trump defendants' denial in James' lawsuit that Trump remained the inactive president of the Trump Organization while serving in the White House.
A Manhattan jury convicted Donald Trump's company of all 17 tax-fraud counts on Tuesday. But he would not implicate anyone named Trump — not Donald Trump, who he worked for since the 1980s. And not any of Trump's three eldest kids — Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, or Ivanka Trump, who have all served as Trump Organization executive vice presidents. Back during jury selection in late October, defense lawyers had the darnedest time finding Manhattan residents who didn't hate Donald Trump. They certainly did not look like Donald Trump's C-suite of well-paid, white-collar white men.

That’s all I have to say about that,” said Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, a member of Senate Republican leadership. I don’t think he should be the nominee of our party in 2024,” he said. And I don’t think it’ll matter in terms of his political future, but I do believe we need to watch who we meet with. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., the outgoing NRSC chair, said, “There’s no room in the Republican Party for white supremacist antisemitism — so it’s wrong.”Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said: “Antisemitism is wrong, and white supremacy is wrong, and that’s all there is to it. Writing on Truth Social, Trump called Ye a “seriously troubled man” and said he had no idea who Fuentes was.
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Saturday strenuously denied any involvement in leaking the outcome of a 2014 ruling in a lengthy statement issued in response to a New York Times report. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority that strongly favors religious rights and frequently rules in favor of conservative Christian interests. Gayle Wright told the Times she did not obtain or pass along any information to Schenck, who has since become a supporter of abortion rights. Chief Justice John Roberts announced in May that he had launched an investigation of the leak but there has been no update since. Meanwhile, liberal members of the court have suggested that the court risks undermining its legitimacy by abruptly unraveling decades of precedent.
Ivana's children — Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump — spent their teenage years there. The property is located between Fifth and Madison avenues and is listed for sale for $26.5 million.

"My mom absolutely loved that house," son Eric told The Journal, adding that the property "embodied Ivana Trump."
