Older adults, many of whom have saved their entire careers for retirement, can have the most to lose. The Covid pandemic was a disproportionate threat to older adults, keeping Americans indoors and quickly pushing them online. Outcomes hinge on a complex web of federal and state rules that govern banking and elder financial fraud. Such "heightened procedures" to protect older adults are part of the bank's duty of care relative to older customers, the lawsuit said.

Attorneys for Donald Trump urged a judge not to impose a partial gag order on the former president in his federal election interference case, claiming that prosecutors are trying to "unconstitutionally silence" him. The federal case charges Trump in connection with a multi-pronged conspiracy to overturn his loss to Biden in the 2020 election. Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case, which is set to head to trial in March. Smith warned the judge that Trump's repeated attacks could "undermine the integrity of these proceedings" and taint the jury pool. The court filing cited numerous social media posts from Trump's Truth Social account railing against Chutkan, the prosecutors and the city of Washington itself.

The request for a limited gag order, filed in recent days, represents the most direct response from prosecutors with special counsel Jack Smith’s office to the former president’s public statements to date. The Justice Department said the order is needed to protect the integrity of his trial in March. Trump has already been ordered not to intimidate potential witnesses or talk to them about the facts of the case. They are also seeking a court order that would block Trump’s lawyers from polling potential jurors for the case without the court’s approval first.
