REUTERS/Brian Snyder/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 8 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump is set to testify on Wednesday in a civil fraud trial that has exposed the inner workings of the former U.S. president’s business empire and threatens to strip him of prized New York properties. Judge Arthur Engoron has already ruled that the conduct amounts to fraud and is now considering what penalties to impose. Unlike her brothers, she did not oversee the Trump Organization during their father's 2017-2021 term in the White House. In a ruling that found Trump, his adult sons and 10 of his companies liable for fraud, Engoron described in scathing terms how the defendants made up valuations.

Engoron asked Trump's lawyer, Christopher Kise. That left for trial whether Trump and the other defendants should pay the $250 million in penalties that James wants, and whether to ban Trump from New York state real estate business. He spent more than a decade in private practice and 12 years clerking for a state judge before becoming a civil court judge in 2003. Voters elected him to the state Supreme Court, a trial court, in 2015.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump attends the Trump Organization civil fraud trial, in New York State Supreme Court in the Manhattan borough of New York City, U.S., November 6, 2023. Trump's testimony wrapped up in midafternoon. Over roughly four hours on the witness stand, Trump often avoided direct answers, instead bragging about his properties and his wealth. New York state lawyers said in their lawsuit that the estimates misled lenders and insurers, earning him more than $100 million and exaggerating his wealth by $2 billion. At one point when Trump was on the stand, Engoron asked Kise to take Trump to the back of the courtroom and "explain the rules."

Trump shrugged "yes" through a crippling series of questions about bank docs he personally signed. But behind his many tantrums and tangents (mentions of George Washington and windmills among them), Trump suffered, legally speaking, on that witness stand. The bank loan documents all bore his signature, Trump confirmed, not that this could be disputed, given the characteristic Sharpie zigzags on the signatory pages. Yes, Trump answered again and again. Of course, Trump being Trump, there were tangents and tantrums mixed in.

MANCHESTER, England, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Manchester United under-fire manager Erik Ten Hag came out fighting during a media grilling on Friday ahead of his faltering side's Premier League trip to Fulham. Ten Hag, however, remains defiant and said the mood in the camp was to put things right after back-to-back 3-0 home losses to Manchester City and Newcastle United. But this squad is strong, the staff is strong and this manager is strong to put this right." Eighth-placed United have lost half their Premier League games and five of their first 10 home matches in all competitions.

☆ George Santos says voters don't care about his lies, vowing that expulsion wouldn't stop him: 'Nobody elected me because I played volleyball or not'

Santos survived a second expulsion vote earlier this week, though another one might be coming. "Nobody elected me because I played volleyball or not," Santos told CNN's Manu Raju in an interview that will air in full on Sunday. The latest vote came after Santos' fellow New York freshmen Republicans abruptly turned against him and forced another expulsion vote. In a development that helped spark the latest expulsion vote, Santos' former campaign treasurer flipped and admitted to prosecutors that she and Santos falsified nonexistent campaign donations to inflate his fundraising totals. Newly-elected Speaker Mike Johnson has been even more explicit that part of the reason GOP leadership has opposed Santos' expulsion is that they can't afford to make their razor-thin majority even smaller.

Ghazi Hamad, one of the top leaders, said the group would carry out further attacks on Israel until the nation was annihilated. On Thursday, Hamas released footage that it said showed its fighters firing a grenade launcher at an Israeli tank. After three consecutive days of Israeli airstrikes in the Jabaliya neighborhood of northern Gaza, rescuers were searching for survivors in the rubble of collapsed buildings. The troops have cut the main north-south roads to Gaza City, depriving Hamas of equipment, vehicles and other reinforcements carried above ground. It also helped prevent them from broadcasting images of the assault to the world, which could have raised pressure on Israel to stop.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken pressed Israel on Friday for a humanitarian pause in Gaza to provide relief to Palestinian civilians as worries of a wider Middle East war mount. Asked Friday what his message was to Americans in Gaza, Biden told reporters at the White House, "They'll be coming home." He did not respond to a question about whether he could contain a wider war. Nasrallah said the fighting along the border was weakening Israel and "deterring the enemy" by drawing resources away from Gaza. Biden has also called for justice for Palestinian civilians – and recently, under political pressure from his own Democratic Party, called for the humanitarian pause.

☆ Tinder owner Match Group settles antitrust claims against Google’s app store

Washington, DC CNN —Online dating giant Match Group has dropped a closely watched antitrust lawsuit against Google’s app store, the two companies said Tuesday, days before a trial set to begin in San Francisco federal court. The settlement between the search giant and the owner of sites such as Match, Tinder and Hinge resolves allegations that Google harmed competition through its app store terms. It permits Match Group to provide users alternative ways to pay for in-app content without requiring them to use Google’s proprietary payment channels. Developer complaints about high app store fees — charged by app store owners such as Google — have reached a fever pitch in recent years, along with related allegations about other restrictive app store terms. The outcome of the app store cases could shape the livelihoods of app developers and determine the flow of billions of dollars in economic activity.

Five months later, Albanese will be welcomed to the White House with the highest trappings of American diplomacy, including a black-tie state dinner underneath a tent erected on the South Lawn. Already, the White House had struggled to secure billions of dollars in new funding for Ukraine. When Albanese arrives at the White House Tuesday evening, the US House of Representatives will have been without a permanent House speaker – and legislatively paralyzed – for 21 days. Senior Biden administration officials believe that only weeks remain before a lack of additional funding for Ukraine starts to become a serious battlefield concern.

Argentina's ruling Peronist coalition smashed expectations to lead the country's general election on Sunday, setting the stage for a polarized run-off vote next month between Economy Minister Sergio Massa and far-right libertarian radical Javier Milei. "We have never had so much polarization," said 72-year-old pensioner Silvia Monto as she voted in Buenos Aires on Sunday.

In 1994, the 15-year-old Liz Ianelli was sent by her parents to the Family Foundation School in Hancock, N.Y., which claimed to treat her disruptive behavior. Now Ms. Ianelli is an activist and the author of a new memoir, “I See You, Survivor,” which details her ordeal. Some states exempt programs that claim to be religion-based from standards enforced on other child-caring facilities, while some states have few, if any, regulations on these programs. Because more than a dozen states allow spanking and paddling in schools, corporal punishment that would be illegal in prisons occurs in many of these programs. But until Ms. Hilton took up the cause, efforts to protect youth on the federal level had stalled.
