The judge who oversaw the trial later said: "Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.'" AdvertisementBut the lawyers who won Weinstein's appeal told Business Insider that what worked for their client probably wouldn't work for Trump. In the May 2023 verdict, the jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation and awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. In the second trial, earlier this year, a separate jury said Trump owed Carroll an additional $83 million in defamation damages. AdvertisementInstead, it needed to find it was "more probable than not" that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll, a standard far more common in civil cases.

AdvertisementWill Merchan sentence Donald Trump to jail? Merchan will not sentence Trump to prison, the four agreed. Merchan could theoretically sentence Trump to as little as a single day in Rikers, said Kamins, now in private practice at Aidala, Bertuna & Kamins. But even in the unlikely event of a low-jail sentence, Trump's appeals would keep him at liberty for years, all four judges said. "I certainly don't know what the right decision is, or what Judge Merchan will do," Obus told BI.

Mr. Giuliani’s run-ins with the law have left his life and finances in tatters. Mr. Giuliani has filed for bankruptcy and owes two Georgia women a $148 million judgment from a defamation case. “Anyone who thinks that Mr. Giuliani is off his game in terms of legal acumen is strongly mistaken,” Mr. Aidala said. Like many at the birthday party, Mr. Aidala was displeased by Mr. Trump’s conviction on charges related to hiding hush money paid to a porn star. In the video, Mr. Trump stands with a small crowd of people who appear to be some of his supporters.

☆ Trump is now out of options to delay Monday's start of jury selection in his hush money trial: legal experts

Former President Donald Trump has run out of legal options to delay Monday's start of his Manhattan hush-money trial, legal experts predict. Trump's lawyers struck out 0-3 this week, when three Manhattan appellate judges rejected three separate emergency delay bids during arguments on Monday, on Tuesday, and Wednesday. Barring an unforeseen, nonlegal emergency, jury selection in Trump's first of four criminal cases will begin as scheduled on Monday morning in Supreme Court in lower Manhattan, experts said. Ditto the US Supreme Court, where Trump could ultimately end up, given that all three appellate efforts raise Constitutional issues, Schechtman said. AdvertisementBut though Trump's lawyers failed to stop the trial, their efforts may not be wasted down the road.

Trump struck out 0-3 during three visits this week to a Manhattan appellate courthouse. Former President Donald Trump has run out of legal options to delay Monday's start of his Manhattan hush-money trial, legal experts predict. Barring an unforeseen, nonlegal emergency, jury selection in Trump's first of four criminal cases will begin as scheduled on Monday morning in the Supreme Court in lower Manhattan, legal experts say. But even if Trump wins — and that's a long shot — it's highly unlikely any of these three appellate decisions would stop or even pause the trial, legal experts also say. Ditto the US Supreme Court, where Trump could ultimately end up, given that all three appellate efforts raise Constitutional issues, Shechtman said.

The D.C. panel found that Giuliani made sweeping claims of voter fraud that he did not have evidence to support. “We are obviously disappointed with the committee’s recommendation but look forward to filing a vigorous appeal to the Board on Professional Responsibility and the court," said Giuliani lawyer Barry Kamins. The committee’s recommendation will now be considered by the full D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility, which oversees attorney discipline cases in Washington, D.C. The D.C. Court of Appeals will make the final decision on whether Giuliani should be disbarred. Trump put Giuliani in charge of the legal strategy to challenge the results of the 2020 election won by Democrat Joe Biden.
