Jean Carroll for battery and defamation and ordered him to pay $5 million in damages, after a civil trial in which the columnist alleged the former president raped her in a Manhattan department store nearly 30 years ago. The jury, following a two-week civil trial, didn’t find that Mr. Trump committed rape but found it more likely than not that he sexually abused Ms. Carroll in a dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman, sometime around 1996. Jurors also found that Mr. Trump defamed Ms. Carroll in comments he made denying her allegations, which she first made publicly in 2019.

But the Trump question came to dominate the Democratic primary as the race entered its final stretch in 2021. As the district attorney’s investigation against the former president began to heat up, Mr. Bragg and his opponents started to signal to prospective voters that they had the bona fides to lead a potential prosecution of Mr. Trump. Mr. Bragg had some history to draw on. Still, as a candidate, Mr. Bragg was mostly focused elsewhere. When Mr. Bragg took office, and his prosecutors were presenting evidence about Mr. Trump and his businesses to a grand jury, the new district attorney stopped them, concerned that the case, which centered on whether Mr. Trump fraudulently inflated the value of his properties, was not strong enough to move forward.

Trump has denied having an affair with Daniels and says the probe by Bragg, a Democrat, is politically motivated. According to the lawsuit, the Trump Organization deceived lenders, insurers and tax authorities by inflating the value of his properties using misleading appraisals. A federal judge ruled that Trump and FBI Director Christopher Wray can be deposed for two hours each as part of the lawsuit. “What (Trump’s lawsuit) lacks in substance and legal support it seeks to substitute with length, hyperbole, and the settling of scores and grievances,” US District Judge Donald Middlebrooks wrote. Woodward later released “The Trump Tapes,” an audiobook featuring eight hours of raw interviews with Trump interspersed with the author’s commentary.

Trump criminal lawyer Ron Fischetti criticized a tell-all by his former law partner, Mark Pomerantz. Pomerantz is a former lead prosecutor in the DA's probe and author of "People vs. Donald Trump." "I don't think he should have written this book at all," Fischetti told Insider of former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, whose book, "People vs. Donald Trump," was published this month. "This is a terrible, terrible book," Fischetti said, taking Pomerantz to task for criticizing Bragg's caution and for speaking publicly about a confidential probe that's still in progress.

☆ Trump's return to social media could help him reach more people, but that could actually hurt him by highlighting his volatility — especially compared to a more composed Ron DeSantis
  + stars: | 2023-01-27 | by ( Kelsey Vlamis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Trump will soon be allowed on all the major social media platforms he was previously banned from. It's still unclear if Trump will return to Facebook or Twitter, but his use of social media has always been polarizing, even among his own supporters. Unlike Trump, DeSantis is rarely, if ever, making headlines for something he wrote on Twitter. He's not unpredictable on social media and large swaths of his supporters are not calling for him to put down his phone. Essentially, DeSantis has tapped into the same exact grievances as Trump but does so through policies instead of constant tweeting.

If Trump is no longer exclusively on Truth Social, it could reduce the platform's appeal for many. Shunned from mainstream platforms, Trump founded and launched Truth Social in February 2022. Matt Navarra, a social-media consultant, said it was "inevitable" that Trump's return to Facebook or Instagram would negatively affect Truth Social. Trump evangelists may lose faith"For most people, Donald Trump is the face of Truth Social," Navarra said. Navarra added that Truth Social would likely still be of value to many users, however, because of its lighter approach to content moderation.

The Trump Organization was found criminally liable of tax fraud on Tuesday after a six-week trial. A ban could end his 'exorbitant' billing of Secret Service agents who protect him at his resorts.

Secret Service a tough targetWatchdogs concede that Trump's Secret Service billing is a tough target. Barring the unlikelihood of a cash-free solution — Trump letting the Secret Service "stay at our properties for free," as Eric Trump once promised, or forgoing Secret Service protection voluntarily, as Richard Nixon did — Trump's Secret Service spigot may well remain open, watchdogs acknowledge.
