Donald Trump is accused of altering business records to conceal payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal during his 2016 campaign. The trial started with jury selection, where over half of the first group were excused for impartiality concerns. Trump claims it's a political witch hunt, expressing doubts about a fair trial. The defence's request to recuse the judge due to a conflict of interest was denied.
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 criticized the Manhattan district attorney and judge overseeing his hush money trial, claiming a corrupt legal system and election interference. He faces 34 felony counts related to a payment to Stormy Daniels, maintains innocence, and plans to testify in the case, which marks the first criminal trial for a former American president. Despite a limited gag order, Trump is permitted to target the judge and prosecutor. Jury selection commences soon despite attempts by his lawyers to delay 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.
Donald Trump's first criminal trial, set to begin in New York, involves charges of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 hush money payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 before the election. Legal experts are divided on the strength of the case, with some questioning the political motives behind the charges. The trial is seen as a significant moment in the ongoing legal battles faced by the former US president.
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.
From the 1970s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes. He has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault, with one accusation resulting in Trump being held civilly liable.In 2015, his lawyer Alan Garten called this "a natural part of doing business" in the United States. While litigation is indeed common in the real estate industry, Trump has been involved in more legal cases than his fellow magnates Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Donald Bren, Stephen M. Ross, Sam Zell, and Larry Silverstein combined.Numerous legal affairs persisted during Trump's presidency. Since he left office, multiple investigations focus on him:Between October 2021 and July 2022 alone, the Republican National Committee paid more than $2 million to attorneys representing Trump in his capacity as president and in his personal and business capacities. The New York Times published an overview of his legal involvements as of September 2022. In January 2023, a federal judge fined Trump and his attorney nearly $1 million, characterizing him as "a prolific and sophisticated litigant who is repeatedly using the courts to seek revenge on political adversaries."On December 6, 2022, Trump's company The Trump Organization was convicted on 17 criminal charges.On March 30, 2023, in People v. Trump, he was indicted on 34 felony counts by a grand jury in Manhattan, New York. He was arraigned on the charges on April 4, 2023, and pleaded not guilty to all counts.On March 25, 2024, Trump is scheduled to stand trial on state criminal charges of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to an adult film actress prior to his election to the presidency.On May 9, 2023, regarding E. Jean Carroll's claims of defamation and sexual assault, an anonymous jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse (but not rape) and defamation against Carroll and ordered Trump to pay her $5 million in damages.In June 2023, Trump was indicted on federal criminal charges relating to his handling of classified documents and was arraigned in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami. On May 14, 2024, there will be a pretrial hearing.On August 14, 2023, he was criminally indicted by a grand jury in Georgia on state election-related charges. Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney Fani Willis investigated his efforts to overturn that state's 2020 presidential election results.On September 26, 2023, in New York v. Trump, a judge issued a summary judgment finding Trump and his two adult sons liable for fraud regarding fraudulent overvaluation of The Trump Organization's assets and Trump's net worth. On February 16, 2024, following a three-month trial, Trump, The Trump Organization, his sons, and the former chief financial officer were fined a total of $364 million. A week later, the court finalized that Trump must also pay $100 million in interest. Trump appealed.On January 12, 2024, a case regarding an alleged pyramid scheme was dismissed from federal court, with plaintiffs recommended to file cases in state courts.On January 26, 2024, he was ordered to pay E. Jean Carroll an additional $83.3 million in damages.In 2024, he will face trial on federal charges related to the 2020 election.
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.
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.
The first of Donald Trump's four criminal trials, the hush money trial, will begin in New York on April 15, making it a historic moment as the first criminal trial of a former U.S. commander-in-chief. Trump, the defendant in the trial, is also the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for the upcoming election. Jury selection for the trial is expected to start soon with a dozen Manhattan residents set to become the first Americans to sit in judgment of a former president charged with a crime.
The upcoming criminal trial of a former US president, related to hush money payments to an adult film actress before the 2016 election, could impact the political landscape profoundly. Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for 2024, faces charges of falsifying business records and potential election interference. This trial marks a significant moment as legal and political realms intertwine, raising questions about Trump's character and potential return to the Oval Office. The outcome could influence the 2024 presidential election, possibly with a convicted felon running as a candidate.
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.
Twelve New York residents will be chosen from hundreds to sit in the historic criminal trial where Trump faces accusations of hiding a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to up to four years in prison. The jury selection process in a city largely Democratic and amidst intense media coverage is expected to be painstaking, seeking impartial panelists. Prospective jurors will undergo scrutiny with 42 questions covering their backgrounds and potential biases.
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.
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.
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.
Fox Nation host Piers Morgan advised Donald Trump to prioritize attending his son Barron's graduation over facing daily court sessions in his hush money trial, criticizing the case as a petty act of political suicide. New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan warned Trump of arrest for non-attendance, prompting discussions on the legality and politics of the situation. The trial, brought by New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg, involves potential felony charges relating to hush money payments. The situation has sparked debate over the significance of a former president's court appearance for such allegations.
Donald Trump criticized Justice Juan Merchan and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg during a rally in Pennsylvania ahead of his first criminal trial involving hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. The former president has been issued a gag order preventing him from making public statements about witnesses. Trump also briefly mentioned Iran's recent drone and missile attack on Israel, attributing it to weakness in current leadership compared to when he was in office.
Reporter, HuffPost Legal expert Elie Mystal warned Sunday that former President Donald Trump needs just one cultist, one dyed-in-the-wool Trump supporter to sneak into that jury on his hush money trial and he or she can hang the whole thing. Jury selection is kind of going to be the whole ball game and crucial to the outcome of the criminal proceedings against the presumptive GOP nominee, the attorney and legal reporter for The Nation told MSNBC s Ayman Mohyeldin. Mystal explained that at a higher level the goal of jury selection, which begins Monday, will not be to find someone who doesnt have an opinion on Trump because that is impossible. Instead, it will be to find people who, in good faith, are willing to put aside what they already know and believe about Trump and instead only take in the evidence presented to them at trial, he noted. Mystal admitted it would be difficult and that he himself could not do it.
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.
Michael Dean Cohen (born August 25, 1966) is an American former lawyer who served as an attorney for former United States president Donald Trump from 2006 to 2018. Cohen served as vice president of the Trump Organization and personal counsel to Trump, often being described as his fixer. Cohen served as co-president of Trump Entertainment and was a board member of the Eric Trump Foundation, a children's health charity. From 2017 to 2018, Cohen was deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.Trump employed Cohen until May 2018, a year after the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections began. In August 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts including campaign-finance violations, tax fraud, and bank fraud. Cohen said he violated campaign-finance laws at Trump's direction "for the principal purpose of influencing" the 2016 presidential election. In November 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to U.S. congressional committees about efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.In December 2018, Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine. In February 2019, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, disbarred him from practicing law in the state. In May 2019, he reported to the federal prison near Otisville, New York. In November 2021, he completed his sentence.In early 2019, Cohen sued the Trump Organization for allegedly failing to reimburse his legal fees; in July 2023, the parties reached a settlement ahead of a planned trial. In early 2023, Trump sued Cohen for allegedly breaching his legal trust; in October 2023, Trump dropped the suit ahead of a planned deposition.
Donald Trump, the president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment, including non-consensual kissing or groping, by at least 25 women since the 1970s.Litigation includes his then-wife Ivana's rape claim during their 1990 divorce (she later recanted); businesswoman Jill Harth's 1997 lawsuit alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment (she settled the former claim and forfeited the latter); and former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos's claim of sexual misconduct followed by a 2017 defamation lawsuit after Trump accused her of lying (she withdrew her defamation case in 2021).In June 2019, writer E. Jean Carroll alleged in New York magazine that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in 1995 or 1996. The magazine said two friends of Carroll confirmed that Carroll had previously confided in them in regard to the incident. Trump called the allegation fiction and denied ever meeting Carroll, although New York had published a photo of Trump and Carroll together in 1987. On May 9, 2023, a New York jury in civil case found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll, but found him not liable for rape. They awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. A September 2023 partial summary judgment again found Trump liable for defaming Carroll. On January 26, 2024, Trump was ordered to pay Carroll an additional $83.3 million in damages.Two of the allegations (by Ivana Trump and Jill Harth) became public before Trump's candidacy for president, but the rest arose after a 2005 audio recording was leaked during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump was recorded bragging that a celebrity like himself "can do anything" to women, including "just start kissing them ... I don't even wait" and "grab 'em by the pussy". Trump subsequently characterized those comments as "locker room talk" and denied actually behaving that way toward women, and he also apologized for the crude language. Many of his accusers stated that Trump's denials provoked them into going public with their allegations. Another type of accusation was made, primarily after the audio recording surfaced, by several former Miss USA and Miss Teen USA contestants, who accused Trump of entering the dressing rooms of beauty pageant contestants. Trump, who owned the Miss Universe franchise, which includes both pageants, was accused of going into dressing rooms in 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2006, while contestants were in various stages of undress. Trump had already referred to this practice during a 2005 interview on The Howard Stern Show, saying he could "get away with things like that" because he owned the beauty pageants in which the women and girls were competing. In October 2019, the book All the President's Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator by Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy was published, containing 43 additional allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump.Trump has denied all the allegations against him, saying he has been the victim of media bias, conspiracies, and a political smear campaign. In October 2016, Trump publicly vowed to sue all the women who have made allegations of sexual misconduct against him, as well as The New York Times for publishing the allegations.

He served as a boardroom judge on the reality TV show featuring his father, The Apprentice. He authored Triggered in 2019 and Liberal Privilege in 2020.Trump was active in his father's 2016 presidential campaign. He cooperated with Russia in their interference in the 2016 United States elections and had a meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information about the campaign of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Trump campaigned for several Republicans during the 2018 midterm elections. He has promoted several conspiracy theories.Trump was also active in his father's 2020 presidential campaign, often being on the campaign trail and being featured in the news for making unfounded claims. During the election he called for "total war" as the results were counted and promoted the stolen election conspiracy theory. Following his father's defeat, he engaged in attempts to overturn the results. He spoke at the rally that led to the storming of the Capitol, where he threatened Trump's opponents that "we're coming for you." In January 2021, Attorney General for the District of Columbia Karl Racine said that he is looking at whether to charge Donald Trump Jr. with inciting the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in the criminal investigation into the attack. CNN reported in April 2022 that two days after the election, Trump Jr. sent a text message to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows outlining paths to subvert the Electoral College process and ensure his father a second term.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Joseph Fischer, a former police officer, faces seven criminal charges including obstruction of an official proceeding for his involvement in the Jan 6 Capitol riot. Fischer was seen in videos pushing forward toward police lines, yelling obscenities, and trying to rally officers to join the mob. His Supreme Court case regarding the obstruction charge may also impact former President Donald Trump's prosecution under the same law. Fischer also faces charges for assaulting a police officer and entering a restricted building.
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.
Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, announced his campaign for a non-consecutive second presidential term in the 2024 U.S. presidential election on November 15, 2022.Trump has campaigned on vastly expanding the authority of the federal government, particularly the executive branch, which calls for a reimposition of the Jacksonian spoils system, immediately invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy the military onto American streets, and directing the Department of Justice to go after domestic political enemies. Other campaign issues include: implementing anti-immigrant policies and a massive deportation operation; pursuing an isolationist "America First" foreign policy agenda; repealing the Affordable Care Act; pursuing a climate change denial and anti-clean energy platform; terminating the Department of Education; implementing anti-LGBT policies; and pursuing what has been described as a neomercantilist trade agenda. Trump has been leaning into violent and authoritarian rhetoric throughout the campaign. Trump has increasingly used dehumanizing and violent rhetoric against his political enemies. His 2024 campaign has been noted for leaning into nativist and anti-LGBT rhetoric.The campaign is unfolding as Trump faces the legal aftermath of four criminal indictments filed against him in 2023, as well as a civil investigation of the Trump Organization in New York. The campaign has continued to promote false claims that the former 2020 election was stolen, and comes in the wake of Trump's unprecedented attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election and its culmination in the January 6 United States Capitol attack, which has been widely described as an attempted coup d'état or self-coup.National primary polling shows Trump leading by 50 points over other candidates. After he won a landslide victory in the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses, Trump was generally described as being the Republican Party's presumptive nominee for president, with a process of consolidation now underway.
The net worth of Donald Trump is not publicly known. Forbes has estimated his wealth for decades and estimates it at $2.6 billion as of 2024, with Trump making much higher claims. Trump received gifts, loans, and inheritance from his father. His primary business has been real estate ventures, including hotels, casinos, and golf courses. He also made money from Trump-branded products including neckties and steaks. Money received through political fundraisers is used to pay for guest stays at properties owned by the Trump Organization and to pay his and his allies' lawyers.
