Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio lost a bid to become speaker on Tuesday after 20 Republicans refused to back him, prolonging a two-week fight that has paralyzed the chamber and underscored the deep Republican divisions in the House. The group included vulnerable Republicans from districts that President Biden won in 2020 and congressional institutionalists worried that Mr. Jordan, if elected, would demand extreme spending cuts, including to the military, potentially forcing a government shutdown. Here’s a look at the lawmakers who opposed Mr. Jordan on the first vote.

"It is one of the most highly successful brands in the world, and he has made a fortune literally being right about real estate investments," Kise said.

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.

☆ Trump New York fraud trial cleared to start Monday after appeals panel ruling
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-28 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The New York civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump and his company is back on track to start Monday after a state appeals court lifted a temporary stay of the case. Trump, the Trump Organization and his two adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, are accused by James of misstating the values of multiple real estate assets. That argument stemmed from a separate appeals court decision in June, which removed Ivanka Trump as a defendant in James' case. The appeals court said in that ruling that the specific allegations involving her related to matters that fell outside a six-year statute of limitations. James' list shows she plans to call 28 witnesses, including Trump, Donald Trump Jr. , Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump.

The judge described how Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr. and Eric, the Trump Organization and other defendants made up valuations and inflated Trump's net worth to suit their business needs. Trump and the other defendants have argued that they never committed fraud, and that the challenged transactions were profitable. Engoron said James submitted "conclusive evidence" that Trump had overstated his net worth by between $812 million and $2.2 billion. Engoron's decision does not automatically mean James' fraud case will go to trial next Monday. Trump has sued to delay the trial, accusing Engoron and James of ignoring the appeals court order to narrow the case.
