Former President Donald Trump will be the first former president to stand trial on criminal charges related to a hush money case involving allegations of marital infidelity during his 2016 campaign. The case, involving payoffs to Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, and others, accuses Trump of falsifying Trump Organization records to bury damaging stories. The trial carries significant political implications as it could reach a verdict before the November election. Trump denies the alleged sexual encounters.
Former President Donald Trump will go to trial on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records linked to a payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair. Despite proclaiming his innocence, the trial will proceed at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse in New York City starting this Monday. Witnesses like David Pecker, who was involved in a catch and kill arrangement with potentially damaging stories about Trump, are expected to testify during the trial.
Former President Donald Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records in a Manhattan trial, accused of covering up hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal a past sexual encounter. Polls show skepticism among Americans, especially Republicans, with many viewing the charges as politically motivated. Trump's supporters largely dismiss the seriousness of the Manhattan charges compared to other indictments. The trial is set to start soon, with concerns over Trump potentially taking the witness stand despite previous poor testimony in a civil fraud trial.
Former President Donald Trump is facing a hush-money trial in New York, with jury selection set to begin. A dozen Manhattan residents will be the first Americans to sit in judgment of a former president charged with a crime. Judge Juan Merchans presides over the case in Manhattan.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree in Manhattan for a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels, along with allegations of orchestrating a scheme to influence the 2016 election. The trial will last up to two months and is the first of Trump's four criminal cases to go to trial. Trump denies all wrongdoing and accuses the district attorney of a politically motivated witch hunt.
Former President Donald Trump's hush money case faces a crucial hearing in New York as the judge considers a trial delay due to recent document disclosures. Trump is charged with falsifying business records related to payments to his lawyer to keep Stormy Daniels' allegations quiet. The case has been postponed until mid-April, with Trump's lawyers seeking dismissal or a three-month delay. Prosecutors argue the disclosures are not significant. Trump's trial delay may impact his legal battles and political aspirations.
The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump is a pending criminal case against Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. On March 30, 2023, Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for his alleged role in a scandal relating to hush money payments made to the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, making him the first U.S. president to be indicted. Trump faces 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in the first degree, carrying a maximum sentence of 136 years if Trump is convicted on all counts.Trump traveled from his residence in Florida to New York City on April 3, 2023 where he surrendered to the Manhattan District Attorney's office on the afternoon of April 4. After his arraignment, he immediately returned to Florida. The trial was set for March 25, 2024.Throughout the investigation that led to the indictment, Trump accused district attorney Alvin Bragg—the case's prosecutor—of having political motivations. Months before he was indicted, Trump declared that he would run in the 2024 presidential election; neither the indictment nor any resulting conviction would disqualify his candidacy.
By 2020, the Manhattan district attorney (DA) had opened a criminal case to determine whether The Trump Organization had committed financial fraud. In December 2022, two of the organization's subsidiary companies were found guilty of 17 charges including tax fraud. On March 30, 2023, Donald Trump was criminally indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in tandem with an alleged catch and kill operation to suppress negative press during his 2016 campaign, largely revolving around the hush-money payment to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels. Trump is the first former U.S. president to be criminally charged. On April 4, he pleaded not guilty. Further proceedings took place over subsequent months, with a trial scheduled for March 25, 2024.The organization ceased a number of illegal practices around the time of Trump's election as U.S. president, some of which had reputedly been executed since the 1980s. Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. reportedly began scrutinizing the company in 2018 related to Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen's hush-money payment to Daniels. By mid-2021, New York State Attorney General Letitia James had joined the DA's criminal inquiry, with the latter convening a grand jury. Prosecutors filed 10 charges against the organization, alleging that it had conducted a 15-year "scheme to defraud" the government, and 15 felony counts against longtime chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, who agreed to a plea deal in August 2022—during Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's tenure. After the organization's conviction, the DA returned to the hush-money scandal as part of its larger probe.Evidence against the organization indicates that Weisselberg and other executives—as well as the two subsidiaries—participated in fraudulent schemes, including recording some employee bonuses as pay for contract work. Trump family members allegedly intended no wrongdoing despite signing relevant checks.Some conservative pundits denounced the investigation, with the Republican National Committee paying some of Trump's legal fees, while Democrats generally endorsed it. After Trump's indictment, Republican U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan organized a hearing against Bragg, leading the DA to sue him for alleged interference.
Judge Juan M Merchan overseeing Donald Trump's trial rejected defense lawyers' request for more time, setting the trial to start on April 15. Trump faces 34 felony counts for concealing $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. Despite the legal battles, a state appeals court granted Trump financial relief in a $454 million civil fraud case. Trump still managed to make social media posts comparing himself to Jesus amidst the legal proceedings.
The following is a list of notable lawsuits involving former United States president Donald Trump. The list excludes cases that only name Trump as a legal formality in his capacity as president, such as habeas corpus requests.On August 1, 2023, Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury on four criminal conspiracy and obstruction charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election. On March 4, 2024, he is expected to face trial.On August 14, 2023, he was indicted by a state grand jury in Georgia on 13 criminal charges also related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
Former White House communications director Hope Hicks is expected to testify in the criminal trial against Donald Trump in New York regarding falsifying business records related to hush money paid to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Hicks previously denied knowledge of the hush money payment but was allegedly involved in negotiations to prevent Daniels from going public with her claims. The trial, scheduled to start on April 15, includes key witnesses such as Cohen and Daniels, with Trump pleading not guilty to the charges.
Former Trump aide Hope Hicks is set to testify for the prosecution in Trump's New York hush money trial, involving falsified business records to cover up payments made to hide an affair during his 2016 campaign. Hicks, who denies prior knowledge of payments, is believed to have been involved in negotiating a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump faces multiple criminal cases and has labelled the charges as political, pleading not guilty. His former attorney, Michael Cohen, is cooperating with prosecutors. The trial is scheduled for April 15, with Daniels expected to testify.
Donald Trump Jr. took the stand in his fathers civil fraud trial as the defense began presenting their case. The trial, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that the Trump Organization inflated its net worth by billions of dollars on financial statements. Trump Jr. and his siblings have denied involvement in preparing the statements and claim to have relied on accountants. The defense argues that any errors in the statements were nonmaterial. The trial is seeking at least $250 million in damages and restrictions on the Trumps involvement in New Yorks real estate industry.
On January 12, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that in October 2016, just before the 2016 United States presidential election, Michael Cohen, lawyer for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, arranged a payment of US$130,000 to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels to stop her disclosing an affair she and Trump allegedly had in 2006. Daniels had signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). At first, Cohen denied Trump had the alleged affair and sought to suppress the allegation based on the NDA, but a month later publicly acknowledged making the payment.Besides allegations surrounding the details of the affair itself, the acknowledged payment raised legal and ethical questions as to whether the payment violated federal campaign finance laws, either because the payment was not duly disclosed as a campaign contribution or because campaign funds may have been used towards the payment. On February 13, Cohen said he paid the money out of his own pocket, not as a campaign contribution; and that neither The Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign reimbursed him for making it. On April 5, Trump said he had no knowledge of Cohen's payment; but on April 26 admitted for the first time that Cohen represented him in "the Stormy Daniels deal". On May 2, Trump's new lawyer Rudy Giuliani said that Trump had reimbursed Cohen for the payment.In August 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including a campaign finance violation for Daniels's payment. He stated under oath that he paid her "in coordination with and at the direction of a candidate for federal office". Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison on various charges, and was disbarred.Daniels filed three lawsuits against Trump and/or Cohen. In the first lawsuit she argued that the NDA was invalid. She won the lawsuit, though it was dismissed after Trump and Cohen agreed not to enforce the NDA. A California court subsequently ordered Trump pay $44,100 to reimburse her legal fees. She lost the second lawsuit, in which she argued she was defamed, and was ordered to pay almost $300,000 in legal fees and court sanctions. In the third lawsuit she claimed that Cohen colluded with her previous attorney Keith Davidson against her interests when he negotiated the payment. The lawsuit did not name Trump as a defendant, and settled in May 2019.Trump's accounting firm, Mazars, provided his tax returns and related documents to the Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr., following the outcome of the Supreme Court's Trump v. Vance ruling in February 2021. Although an internal report said there was "reason to believe" Trump's campaign had knowingly violated campaign finance law, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) abandoned an inquiry into the payment to Daniels. The FEC's vote on May 6, 2021, split 2–2 along party lines.On March 30, 2023, a Manhattan grand jury indicted Trump for his alleged role in the scandal. Trump was arraigned in the Manhattan district court on April 4.
Judge Juan Merchan in New York blocks Donald Trump's legal team from forcing NBC to hand over materials related to a recent documentary about Stormy Daniels. The ruling, just before the April 15 trial, pertains to 34 felony counts against Trump for alleged falsifying of business records for hush money payments. The judge called the subpoena a 'fishing expedition' lacking legal merit. Trump, facing multiple criminal cases, allegedly concealed hush money payments through his former lawyer Michael Cohen. Stormy Daniels, central to the case, is expected to serve as a key witness despite defense attempts to delay the trial pending Supreme Court rulings on presidential immunity claims.
New York v. Trump is a civil investigation and lawsuit by the office of the New York Attorney General (AG) alleging that The Trump Organization and several individuals (including operative members of the Trump family) engaged in financial fraud by presenting vastly disparate property values to potential lenders and tax officials, in violation of New York Executive Law § 63(12). A trial took place from October 2023 to January 2024. As a result of the trial, the presiding judge Arthur Engoron ordered the defendants to disgorge a total of US$364 million of ill-gotten gains, among other penalties.AG Letitia James began investigating the organization in early 2019, with public litigation beginning in August 2020 to support her subpoenas in the inquiry. In February 2022, Engoron ruled in favor of James's subpoenas, and that April, Donald Trump was found in contempt of court for not complying with them and Trump was fined $110,000.In September 2022, the AG sued Donald, his three oldest children (Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric), former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, former controller Jeffrey McConney, and ten related companies. That November, Engoron appointed retired judge Barbara S. Jones to monitor the organization regarding potential future fraud. In 2023, Ivanka was released as a defendant due to an expired statute of limitations.In September 2023, Engoron issued a summary judgment that Trump and his company had committed fraud for years. The judge ordered the termination of the defendants' state business licenses and the dissolution of pertinent limited liability companies (pending appeal). The trial covered six additional claims by the AG and considered further penalties. In October, a gag order was placed on Trump, forbidding him from publicly disparaging court staff; the judge fined Trump $5,000 and $10,000 for two violations of the order that same month. The defense unsuccessfully sought to dismiss the case, as well as related subpoenas and rulings.In February 2024, Engoron concluded that the "defendants failed to accept responsibility or to impose internal controls to prevent future recurrences" of having "submitted blatantly false financial data" to "borrow more and at lower rates". Engoron assessed Donald Trump and his companies $354 million of disgorgement of ill-gotten gains (not including interest), while Eric and Donald Jr. were assessed $4 million each, and Weisselberg $1 million. These four and McConney were also banned from leading New York organizations from two to three years; Weisselberg and McConney were also permanently banned from having any financial control in such organizations. The provisions of the judgement are under appeal.
Former President Donald Trump's legal efforts to delay his hush-money trial in Manhattan have been rejected by three separate emergency delay bids this week, with jury selection set to begin as scheduled on Monday. Despite ongoing appellate challenges, experts predict that the trial is unlikely to be stopped or paused, and any decisions in Trump's favor would not interrupt the ongoing trial. Trump's lawyers are strategically laying the groundwork to challenge his conviction by raising constitutional issues in failed delay bids.
Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization, is set to plead guilty to perjury for lying during Donald Trump's civil fraud trial. This will be Weisselberg's second criminal conviction and he is expected to face potential prosecution for misleading investigators in the New York fraud investigation. Weisselberg will not implicate Trump and is unlikely to testify at Trump's trial over hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. The plea relates to testimony given in civil investigations into the company's finances, with details of the charges unclear.
New York Judge Juan Merchan issued a gag order on former President Donald Trump, restricting him from publicly attacking potential witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, and jurors in his upcoming hush-money criminal trial. The order comes in response to Trump's previous inflammatory remarks about individuals involved in his legal cases. Trump is charged with falsifying business records related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and has pleaded not guilty, claiming political motivation. The gag order aims to prevent threats and intimidation ahead of the trial starting on April 15, 2024.
Former President Donald Trump's request to delay his hush money criminal trial was denied for the third time in a week, with his arguments for the delay based on seeking Judge Juan M Merchan's recusal, claiming restrictive pre-motion letter requirements, and aiming to argue presidential immunity as a defense. The district attorney's office and court administration argued against the delay, deeming Trump's arguments meritless. Trump's lawyers have filed an appeal to prevent jury selection from starting, framing the action as suing Merchan under Article 78.
Former President Donald Trump, his adult sons, and two former Trump Organization officials have appealed a $464 million judgment in the New York attorney general's civil fraud case. Trump is personally liable for $454 million, including interest. The appeal challenges the money judgment, bans on serving as officers of New York corporations, and alleged errors of law and fact. Trump needs to cover $355 million in cash or bond. His sons must repay over $4 million each. The judgment was made by Judge Arthur Engoron, following a case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Manhattan prosecutors are considering whether to charge Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization, with perjury in connection with his testimony in a civil fraud trial. Weisselberg testified for two days in the trial, answering questions about allegations that Donald Trump lied about his wealth on financial statements. Prosecutors are reviewing Weisselberg's testimony to determine if he made false statements under oath. A potential perjury charge would be separate from the criminal case brought against Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Weisselberg served time in jail last year for tax evasion and is currently on probation.
A New York judge has placed a gag order on Donald Trump ahead of his criminal hush money case that begins on April 15. The order prohibits Trump from making public statements about court staff, jurors, witnesses, and lawyers in the district attorney's office. The campaign claims the order violates Trump's free speech rights. Trump is facing 34 felony counts related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Justice Juan Merchan granted the gag order after a request from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, citing Trump's history of attacking opponents.
The Trump Organization is an American privately-owned conglomerate owned by Donald Trump. It serves as the holding company for all of Trump's business ventures and investments, with around 250 of its affiliates and subsidiaries using the Trump name. Donald Trump joined the organization in 1968, began leading it in 1971, renamed it around 1973, and handed off its leadership to his children in 2017 after he won the 2016 United States presidential election. The Trump Organization, through its various constituent companies and partnerships, has or has had interests in real estate development, investing, brokerage, sales and marketing, and property management. Trump Organization entities own, operate, invest in, and develop residential real estate, hotels, resorts, residential towers, and golf courses in various countries. They also operate or have operated in construction, hospitality, casinos, entertainment, book and magazine publishing, broadcast media, model management, retail, financial services, food and beverages, business education, online travel, commercial and private aviation, and beauty pageants. Trump Organization entities also own the New York television production company that produced the reality television franchise The Apprentice. Retail operations include or have included fashion apparel, jewelry and accessories, books, home furnishings, lighting products, bath textiles and accessories, bedding, home fragrance products, small leather goods, vodka, wine, barware, steaks, chocolate bars, and bottled spring water.Since the financial statements of the Trump Organization's holdings and Donald Trump's personal tax returns are both private, its true value is not publicly known, though a wide range of estimates have been made. Trump has publicly released little definitive financial documentation to confirm his valuation claims. On several occasions, Trump has been accused of deliberately inflating the valuation of Trump Organization properties through aggressive lobbying of the media (in particular the authors of the annual Forbes 400 list) to bolster his perceived net worth.By 2019, the Trump Organization was being scrutinized by New York investigators for possible financial fraud. In July 2021, New York prosecutors charged the organization with 10 counts in an alleged 15-year tax avoidance scheme. In November, The Washington Post reported that between 2011 and 2015 the organization presented several properties as being worth far more to potential lenders than to tax officials. In August 2022, the organization's chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, pleaded guilty to committing more than a dozen felonies, including criminal tax fraud and grand larceny. In September 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a civil lawsuit against the organization. A separate criminal case by the Manhattan district attorney was brought to trial in October; on December 6, the organization was convicted on 17 criminal charges.In September 2023, the judge presiding over the civil suit ruled that Trump, his adult sons and the organization repeatedly committed fraud and ordered their New York business certificates canceled and their business entities sent into receivership for dissolution in what has been described by observers as a "corporate death penalty". Trump and the organization were ordered to pay nearly $355 million before interest in February 2024, with further restrictions placed on the Trump Organization's business certificates, and on both Trump and his adult sons' ability to do business in New York.
Michael John Avenatti (born February 16, 1971) is an American former attorney and convicted felon, currently incarcerated in federal prison at FCI Terminal Island. He is best known for his legal representation of adult film actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against then U.S. President Donald Trump, and his multiple convictions for attempting to extort sports apparel company Nike and defrauding and embezzling settlement money from a series of other clients. Avenatti has appeared extensively on television and in print as a legal and political commentator, and as a representative for prominent clients.In March 2019, Avenatti was indicted in California and New York on various criminal counts including extortion, tax evasion, fraud, and embezzlement. On February 14, 2020, Avenatti was convicted of extorting Nike in New York court, and on July 8, 2021, he was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Additionally, on another date, he received another 30 months (technically 4 years with half concurrent) for a financial crime against Stormy Daniels. He has been imprisoned since February 7, 2022. On December 5, 2022, he was sentenced to an additional 14 years for stealing millions from clients, bringing his total sentence to 19 years without the possibility of parole.
A New York judge expanded a gag order on Donald Trump to prevent inflammatory speech ahead of his criminal hush money trial. Trump criticized key witnesses Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, calling them liars, violating the gag order's restrictions on public statements about trial witnesses. The order also prohibits comments on jurors, court staff, and lawyers' relatives. Trump argues the gag order infringes on his free speech rights. Cohen and Daniels have faced harassment from Trump's supporters. Trump's criticism may violate the order by influencing potential jurors.
In the trial involving former President Donald Trump's alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, Trump's lawyers mistakenly subpoenaed a Brooklyn man named Jeremy Rosenberg instead of the intended Manhattan investigator. Rosenberg humorously responded that he had no files to provide and kept the $15 sent for mailing documents. The prosecutor confirmed the error and stated that the wrong person had been served. The trial, facing Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records, is set for jury selection on April 15.
Former President Donald Trump visited an Atlanta Chick-fil-A restaurant, ordered chicken and milkshakes for customers, and chatted with staff members on the campaign trail. He praised the franchise and its owner, handed out milkshakes, and is expected to raise millions in fundraisers in Atlanta and Orlando. Trump faces felony charges in Georgia related to the 2020 election. A poll showed him leading President Biden in Georgia by 1-3 percentage points.
Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization, has ordered the court to monitor the organization's finances for three years. The monitoring includes reviews of internal accounting records, monthly bank statements, and notification of major cash or asset transfers. The organization must disclose efforts to obtain surety bonds and provide quarterly reports to the court. The judge emphasized that the organization must not evade the monitoring by restructuring or transferring assets. Former federal Judge Barbara Jones will continue to monitor the Trump Organization's finances.
Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford (born Stephanie A. Gregory; March 17, 1979), known professionally as Stormy Daniels, is an American pornographic film actress, director and former stripper. She has won many industry awards and is a member of the NightMoves Hall of Fame, AVN Hall of Fame and XRCO Hall of Fame. In 2009 a recruitment effort led her to consider challenging incumbent David Vitter in the 2010 Senate election in her native Louisiana.In 2018, Daniels became involved in a legal dispute with U.S. president Donald Trump. Trump's attorney Michael Cohen paid $130,000 to silence her about an affair she says she had with Trump in 2006. Trump has denied the affair and accused her of lying.
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American politician, media personality, and businessman who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Trump received a Bachelor of Science in economics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, and his father named him president of his real estate business in 1971. Trump renamed it the Trump Organization and reoriented the company toward building and renovating skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. After a series of business failures in the late twentieth century, he successfully launched side ventures that required little capital, mostly by licensing the Trump name. From 2004 to 2015, he co-produced and hosted the reality television series The Apprentice. He and his businesses have been plaintiff or defendant in more than 4,000 state and federal legal actions, including six business bankruptcies.Trump won the 2016 presidential election as the Republican Party nominee against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton while losing the popular vote. During the campaign, his political positions were described as populist, protectionist, isolationist, and nationalist. His election and policies sparked numerous protests. He was the first U.S. president with no prior military or government experience. A special counsel investigation established that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election to favor Trump's campaign. Trump promoted conspiracy theories and made many false and misleading statements during his campaigns and presidency, to a degree unprecedented in American politics. Many of his comments and actions have been characterized as racially charged or racist and many as misogynistic.As president, Trump ordered a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, diverted military funding toward building a wall on the U.S.–Mexico border, and implemented a policy of family separations for migrants detained at the U.S. border. He weakened environmental protections, rolling back more than 100 environmental policies and regulations. He signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which cut taxes for individuals and businesses and rescinded the individual health insurance mandate penalty of the Affordable Care Act. He appointed Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. He reacted slowly to the COVID-19 pandemic, ignored or contradicted many recommendations from health officials, used political pressure to interfere with testing efforts, and spread misinformation about unproven treatments. Trump initiated a trade war with China and withdrew the U.S. from the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, the Paris Agreement on climate change, and the Iran nuclear deal. He met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un three times but made no progress on denuclearization.Trump refused to concede after losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, falsely claiming widespread electoral fraud, and attempted to overturn the results by pressuring government officials, mounting scores of unsuccessful legal challenges, and obstructing the presidential transition. On January 6, 2021, he urged his supporters to march to the U.S. Capitol, which many of them then attacked, resulting in multiple deaths and interrupting the electoral vote count.Trump is the only American president to have been impeached twice. After he tried to pressure Ukraine in 2019 to investigate Biden, he was impeached by the House of Representatives for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress; he was acquitted by the Senate in February 2020. The House impeached him again in January 2021, for incitement of insurrection, and the Senate acquitted him in February. Scholars and historians rank Trump as one of the worst presidents in American history.Since leaving office, Trump has continued to dominate the Republican Party and is a candidate in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries. In 2023, a civil trial jury found that Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll. In 2024, a New York state court found Trump liable for financial fraud. Trump is appealing both judgments. He was also indicted in New York on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, in Florida on 40 felony counts related to his mishandling of classified documents, in Washington, D.C., on four felony counts of conspiracy and obstruction for efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and in Georgia on 13 charges of racketeering and other alleged felonies committed in an effort to overturn the state's 2020 election results. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a judgment with the Westchester County clerk, potentially allowing her to seize Trump properties like the Seven Springs mansion estate and Trump National Golf Course. The judgment, part of a civil fraud case, places a lien on the properties after a finding that the Trump Organization inflated real estate values. The properties in Westchester County were involved in the trial, where it was revealed that the Trump Organization sought preferential rates through misrepresentation. This occurs as Trump faces multiple legal challenges including criminal indictments in different states.
Keith M. Davidson is an attorney in Beverly Hills, California. Davidson has represented clients who sought nondisclosure agreement settlements from notable individuals, including Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen, and Hulk Hogan. He has also managed professional boxers Manny Pacquiao and James Toney.In the mid-2010s, adult film actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal retained Davidson to negotiate payments in exchange for refraining from publicly discussing their sexual encounters with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. These settlements drew Davidson into the Trump campaign expense controversy. He has since cooperated with special prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation.
Former aide Stephanie Grisham revealed that Melania Trump is under stress due to Donald Trump's looming trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. Allegations of affairs with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal have caused tensions in their marriage. Melania refused to appear with Trump at events and may push him to testify in the trial. Melania has been making few public appearances and occasional social media posts, while Trump claims she will campaign soon.
President Joe Biden's campaign released a statement criticizing Donald Trump as feeble, confused, and tired after a series of verbal stumbles and a bizarre social media post comparing himself to Christ. Trump faced court decisions, including a reduction in bond in a fraud case and a ruling setting a criminal trial date in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. Biden's campaign ridiculed Trump's fundraising struggles, lack of recent appearances, and described him as weak and desperate as a candidate. Critics also highlighted Trump's rambling appearance and gaffes in recent statements.
Stormy is a 2024 American documentary film, directed and produced by Sarah Gibson.
