Donald Trump has opened up about the negative toll his New York hush money trial has taken on his family, particularly his wife, Melania Trump.

Donald Trump became the first ex-president to be convicted of a felony crime, but his lead counsel, Todd Blanche, has revealed that they plan to appeal the verdict as soon as possible.

If you’re a Republican politician looking to score points with Donald Trump, there’s a decent chance you’ve been spotted recently in or outside Manhattan Criminal Court. U.S. senators, House members, state attorneys general, and former GOP presidential primary opponents have all traveled to New York to support the former president during his criminal trial.

Judge Juan Merchan found Donald Trump in contempt of court on Tuesday for repeatedly violating the gag order in the former president’s New York hush-money case. Merchan fined Trump a total of $9,000 for bucking the order against publicly commenting on court staff, prosecutors, prospective jurors, or the judge’s family — and lamented that New York state law prevented him from laying down a steeper penalty.
Penalizing Trump $1,000 for each infraction “unfortunately will not achieve the desired result,” the judge said, adding that the court “must therefore consider whether in...

Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, said that her client would be like the late South African President Nelson Mandela if he gets jailed for violating the gag order in his New York hush money trial.
On April 1, Judge Juan Merchan expanded a gag order in the case, thereby keeping Trump from constantly attacking his daughter, Loren Merchan.
Initially, the gag order blocked the former president from making public statements about witnesses, other prosecutors, court staff and their family members if they were “made with the intent to interfere with” this case materially.
In a court filing on April 16, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office asked Judge Merchan to hold Trump in contempt for frequently using social media to disparage two of the witnesses in his hush money trial – ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and former porn star Stormy Daniels.

“Another Stormy day in New York in a new episode of The Orange People’s Court today starring Donald J. Trump as the defendant,” Jimmy Kimmel announced in the opening monologue of his late-night show Tuesday, the second day of the former president’s New York criminal trial.
Seven jurors made the cut on Tuesday. However, more were dismissed after questions arose about content they had shared on social media that ridiculed the former president, while Trump himself was forced look at mean memes about him shared by prospective jurors.

Donald Trump’s first criminal trial promises to be one of the most heavily reported legal affairs in American history, but the former president and his defense team already think they can get away with lying about what’s happening in the courtroom.
After leaving court on Monday following the first day of jury selection, Trump repeatedly claimed that Judge Juan Merchan had barred him from attending the high school graduation ceremony of his youngest son, Barron Trump, in May.

Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond in the New York civil fraud case against him on Monday, preventing state authorities from collecting a $454 million penalty and seizing his assets, including properties such as Trump Tower, while he appeals the verdict.
If his appeal fails, the former president, who is seeking to return to the White House in the November election, will still owe the nearly half-billion dollar judgement, plus millions in interest. If Trump wins the appeal, he’ll get back the money he posted and won’t owe the state anything.

Concern about the fact that Donald Trump must post a $450 million-plus bond by Monday — and where he might get that money — prompted a curious debate with the ex-president’s lawyer on Fox News on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day on The View, Joy Behar worried about the risks posed by a financially-desperate Trump.
“I mentioned Saudi Arabia and Russia, they have motivation to give him money because then they will own him,” said Behar.

Roberta Kaplan, the attorney representing columnist E. Jean Carroll, indicated that Former President Donald Trump could face another defamation lawsuit for attacking her client during a Georgia campaign rally.
On March 8, Trump posted the $91.6 million bond for the $83.3 million civil defamation judgment in favor of Carroll. The higher amount had been required due to interest payments that the former president owed.
This bond was issued by Federal Insurance Company, a division of Chubb, which needed extensive collateral, probably including mostly cast assets.
“I just posted a $91 million bond – $91 million – on a fake story – totally made up story,” the former president said during the rally. “Think of it, 91 million I could say things about what it would cost normally – 91 million – based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t know, never heard of. I know nothing about her.”

On Friday morning, former President Donald Trump posted a $91.6 million bond for the $83.3 million civil defamation judgment in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll. The higher amount was required due to interest payments owed by Trump.
The bond was issued by Federal Insurance Company, a division of Chubb, which required extensive collateral, likely including mostly cast assets.
On Thursday, Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Trump’s request for a delay, ruling that Trump must either pay Carroll by Monday or provide a bond or assets as collateral while he appeals the jury’s verdict from January, which found him guilty of defaming Carroll after she accused him of rape in 2019.
This civil judgment is just one of three financial obligations Trump faces, with a total of $540 million owed to the New York attorney general and Carroll.

In a recent court filing, former President Donald Trump expressed concerns about his financial situation as he prepares to appeal a $454 million civil fraud verdict imposed by the state of New York. With limited options at his disposal, the former president must either pay the full judgment by March 25 or secure a bond worth at least 110% of the amount to temporarily suspend the fine during the appeals process.
However, obtaining an appeal bond requires cash, selling properties (or using them as collateral), which would tie up a substantial portion, if not all, of his liquid assets for an extended period.
The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers from New York to San Francisco. 40 Wall Street, one of the key properties, was purchased by Trump in 1995 and is what his business hails as “one of the great real estate deals of all time.” In 2015, it was valued at $540 million.

Former President Donald Trump once again pretended not to know E. Jean Carroll during remarks at a Michigan Rally, even after being ordered to pay the columnist $83 million in a defamation case last month.
Carroll, who was found to have been sexually assaulted by the former president in the 1990s, filed a defamation suit after Trump made similar comments about their relationship. In January, a jury found him guilty of defamation and ordered him to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages.
This is the second defamation suit that Carroll has filed against Trump. The former president was previously ordered to pay her $5 million after being found guilty of defamation and sexual assault.

Roberta Kaplan, the lead lawyer for E. Jean Carroll in her defamation suit against former President Donald Trump, threatened to pursue sanctions against Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, for making a false claim about her relationship with U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who presided over the case.
On January 29, Habba stated in a letter to the federal court in Manhattan that Judge Kaplan had a conflict of interest that might warrant overturning the $83.3 million jury award for Carroll.
In her letter, Trump’s lawyer cited a New York Post article mentioning the judge allegedly working with Kaplan. (The two are not related.)
They both worked at Paul, Weiss Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison in the early 1990s, before Kaplan left to become a founding partner of Kaplan Hecker & Fink Llp.

Update: 1:33 Pm: The jury has reached a verdict in E. Jean Carroll’s multi-million defamation trial against Donald Trump after just a few hours of deliberations.
The decision is expected to be read out in the next few minutes. Trump will not be there when the verdict is announced, as he left the Manhattan court about half an hour ago for the airport.
Carroll’s lawyers are looking for at least $24 million in compensatory damages, plus more in punitive damages. Trump has already been found liable last year of sexual abusing and defaming Carroll. Back in May, that jury awarded the former Elle columnist $5 million. Ever since the allegations of the mid-1990s attack came to light in 2019, the much-accused Trump has continued to smear Carroll and declare his innocence in and out of the White House. Carroll says his defaming remarks put her in danger and ruined her reputation.

On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump was admonished by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan during his defamation trial brought by columnist E. Jean Carroll. Kaplan warned Trump to stop speaking while witnesses were talking and told him that he would not hesitate to eject him from the courtroom.
“Mr. Trump has the right to be present here,” Kaplan said. “That right can be forfeited and it can be forfeited if he is disruptive, which is what has been reported to me consists of. And if he disregards court orders, Mr. Trump, I hope I don’t have to consider excluding you from the trial. I understand you’re probably eager for me to do that.”
“I would love that,” Trump dryly responded.
Earlier in the day, Kaplan told the jury before that he had already decided that Trump sexually abused Carroll and that their only role would be to determine the extent of monetary damages.

Michael Cohen’s Attempt To Revive His Retaliatory Imprisonment Lawsuit Against Trump Denied By Court
A federal appeals court denied Michael Cohen‘s attempt to revive the lawsuit he filed against his former client, ex-President Donald Trump. Cohen claimed that Trump retaliated against him for promoting a tell-all book criticizing the former president.
The former fixer sued Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr and other official Justice Department members. He claimed they had interfered with his constitutional rights when he had been imprisoned again after making criticisms against the 45th U.S. President.
Cohen was ruled against by a lower court judge who declared that Supreme Court precedent does not give him the right to pursue damages to remedy his claims.
On January 2, the second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with this decision.
Cohen announced that he was planning on appealing the issue to the Supreme Court.

Trump Announces He Will Not Testify In His $250 Million Fraud Trial, Calling The Case A ‘Witch Hunt’
Former President Donald Trump made an unexpected announcement that he would not testify in the $250 million civil fraud trial against him and his company.
The trial, which has lasted two months, had reached its final week of testimony, and Trump was scheduled to take the witness stand as one of the defense’s final witnesses.
However, on Sunday, Trump posted to his social media site Truth Social that he had already testified to everything and had nothing more to add. He dismissed the trial as a “complete & total election interference witch hunt.”
Originally slated to resume on Monday, the trial was postponed until Tuesday by the Office of Court Administration, the administrative arm of the New York State Unified Court System. This delay allowed Trump to bypass his scheduled testimony and avoid further legal proceedings.

However, on Sunday, Trump posted to his social media site Truth Social that he had already testified to everything and had nothing more to add. He dismissed the trial as a “complete & total election interference witch hunt.”
Originally slated to resume on Monday, the trial was postponed until Tuesday by the Office of Court Administration, the administrative arm of the New York State Unified Court System. This delay allowed Trump to bypass his scheduled testimony and avoid further legal proceedings.

Donald Trump will no longer testify in his own defense during his civil fraud trial against him and his company as the trial enters its final week of testimony. He was scheduled to take the stand on Monday, Nov. 11, but in a last-minute reversal, he announced on Sunday that he won’t head back to the witness stand in New York state’s $250 million civil fraud lawsuit.

Donald Trump defended comments he made last week where he said he wanted to be a dictator if re-elected but only on “Day One” in office.
Trump began by complaining that Peter Baker of The New York Times wrote an article referencing his comments. “[Peter] Baker today in the New York Times said that I want to be a dictator,” the former president said Saturday night at the New York Young Republican Club’s 111th Annual Gala. “I didn’t say that. I said I want to be a dictator for one day.

Donald Trump was rebuked by Judge Arthur Engoron for giving “speeches” during his testimony on Monday before New York court in a civil fraud trial that will determine the future of his business empire. At one point Engoron warned the former president’s attorneys that he would dismiss Trump from the stand if they did not get him under control.
“I beseech you to control him if you can,” Engoron said. “If you can’t, I will. I will excuse him and draw every negative inference that I can.”

Since the summer, Donald Trump’s legal teams have been wracked by one abiding fear: betrayal.
On one front, the former president’s inner circle has fretted about how many co-defendants in the Fulton County criminal case — or co-conspirators in the special counsel probes — might turn against him, accept a plea deal, and cooperate with the prosecutors. But lingering beneath the fear of disloyalty lies another, darker fear about whether anyone anyone still working in, or close to, Trump’s inner orbit could already secretly be working with prosecutors.

In the weeks leading up to the start of his $250 million civil fraud trial in New York, Donald Trump and his attorneys privately discussed how they believed defeat in this trial was preordained. Their best chance — and it wasn’t much, according to two sources familiar with the matter and another two people briefed on internal deliberations — would be to fight the case on appeal.
This belief led to the development of an approach to the case that centers around chaos and cacophony, rather than any attempt to win it on the merits.

In the past several months, Donald Trump has had a burning question for some of his confidants and attorneys:
Would the authorities make him wear “one of those jumpsuits” in prison?
As the criminal cases against him have piled up, the former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner has wondered aloud in recent months about what life would be like if he’s convicted, and if appeals fail. While Trump publicly professes confidence, privately, three sources familiar with his comments say, he’s been asking lawyers and other people close to him...

MSNBC’s Katie Phang says there’s one important takeaway from Wednesday’s second defamation ruling against Donald Trump in federal court.
Phang, in a dispatch from outside a Lower Manhattan courtroom, told “The ReidOut” that if the notion the twice-impeached and four-times indicted former president is a liar wasn’t stamped into concrete before Judge Lewis Kaplan’s ruling, it is now.
“It just goes to show that Donald Trump is a proven liar,” a fired-up Phang said. “And when you have this many criminal cases pending, and your credibility as a criminal defendant may come into play, either because other defendants say that you have done something or you yourself are crazy enough to take the stand, which Donald Trump says he’s willing to do, if you already have findings that he’s a liar — it may not be admissible in your criminal trial, but trust me,...

Donald Trump is facing a total of 91 criminal charges, including 44 federal charges and 47 state charges, but his attorney Alina Habba claims, “We’re not concerned at all.”
“We’re not concerned because we know the facts of these cases, which I can’t get into obviously for privileged reasons,” Alina Habba told host Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday.
Trump has been indicted four times in the last five months, most recently in Georgia, where he faces charges in the state related to his attempts to interfere with the state’s 2020 election results.

A federal judge tossed out Donald Trump’s counterclaim against E. Jean Carroll, the writer who won a $5 million jury verdict earlier this year after it found the former president liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that Trump had not shown that Carroll defamed him in the aftermath of the verdict. In a defamation claim, Trump challenged Carroll’s post-verdict contention that he raped her.
The jury in the case found that Trump sexually abused her, but did not find that he raped her as defined by New York law. In an interview on CNN the day after the verdict, Carroll was asked what went through her mind when “this jury found that Trump did not rape you.” Carroll said that she thought, ‘Oh yes, he did. Oh, yes, he did.’ See, that’s my response.”

Donald Trump has been charged criminally for conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The indictment, along with the other two that have been leveled against the former president this year, is different from most of his other scandals in that it will ultimately be litigated in a court of law. Trump can’t just dispatch his minions to spew nonsense on cable news and hope the problem goes away.

Former President Donald Trump has been charged with obstructing Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago documents investigation by allegedly trying to get security footage deleted after authorities requested it.
Yet according to Trump lawyer and spokesperson Alina Habba, there was no obstruction because it’s “common sense” that Trump could’ve easily had the footage deleted if he put his mind to it.
On Fox News Sunday, anchor Shannon Bream asked Habba if, even though investigators ultimately obtained the tapes, there was “an attempt to try to make sure that didn’t happen.

U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan scheduled E. Jean Carroll‘s second defamation trial against former president Donald Trump for January 15, 2024.
Kaplan allowed Carroll to file an amended complaint on Tuesday that seeks damages of at least $10 million. This is partly based on remarks Trump made at a CNN town hall last month, including that he never met Carroll and that her allegations were made up.
Carroll’s lawyers wrote in the amended complaint that Trump “doubled down on his prior defamatory statements” at the town hall.
Trump’s team has attempted to block the defamation suit. One of his attorneys, Alina Habba, said Tuesday that they did not believe Carroll should have been allowed to change her defamation complaint “to avoid consequences of an adverse finding.”
The ongoing case began in 2019 when Carroll claimed then-president Trump of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store near his home...

Update: After pleading not guilty to a 37-count federal indictment, former President Donald Trump trekked to a Miami Cuban restaurant Versailles, grabbing attention across all the networks starved for visuals after the closed-to-cameras arraignment.
But as footage of Trump’s restaurant visit rolled across the screens and commentators weighed in on tha case, CNN anchor Jake Tapper had a message to the control room: Stop it.
“The folks in the control room: I don’t need to see any more of that,” Tapper said on air. “He’s trying to turn it into a spectacle, a campaign ad. That’s enough of that. We’ve seen it already.”
On MSNBC, Nicolle Wallace also seemed to get a bit annoyed as video played of Trump’s visit. “We don’t need to see that anymore. We know where he is.”
Trump dropped in on the famous eatery as his first stop after leaving the federal courthouse.

A judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against The New York Times and three journalists who published a 2018 piece on his tax schemes.
The New York Supreme Court judge, Robert R. Reed, also ordered the former president to pay the Times’ legal expenses, finding that the state’s anti-slapp law applied. That law is designed to limit plaintiffs from filing litigation as a way to limit a defendant from exercising the right to free speech and public participation.
Trump filed suit against the Times and the reporters, Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russell Buettner, in 2021, claiming they caused his niece Mary Trump to take tax and financial documents held by her lawyer and violate a 2001 settlement agreement. Among other things, Trump claimed tortious interference with contract and unjust enrichment.

Donald Trump, the ex-president, is about to make history as the first former Potus to be criminally charged. But Donald Trump, the 2024 presidential candidate, isn’t about to let the buzz around his booking go to waste — and he may include using his mugshot in a large campaign marketing blitz.
In recent days, some of Trump’s close aides and advisers have pushed the ex-president to turn his potential mugshot into fuel for a fundraising drive, or as a potent new symbol on 2024 campaign merchandise, three people familiar with the situation tell Rolling Stone.

Federal prosecutors are looking to cut through Former President Donald Trump’s staunch wall of lawyers by using the crime-fraud exception to compel the testimony of his lawyer, M. Evan Corcoran, before a grand jury, the New York Times reports. The crime fraud exception voids legal secrecy when a client has sought a lawyer’s help in the commission of a fraud or crime, and prosecutors have asked a federal judge to invoke the exception.

A day after a federal judge ordered Donald Trump and his attorney to pay nearly 1 million in sanctions for filing a quickly dismissed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and 30 others, the former president dropped a case against New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Trump’s legal team withdrew a lawsuit against James on Friday. The lawsuit was filed in November after she filed a 250 million civil lawsuit against Trump and his family. Trump’s lawsuit had accused her of intimidation and harassment and sought to prevent her from obtaining documents about his private trust.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks’ sanctions order blasted Trump and attorney Alina Habba for what he called “widespread and persistent conduct” in filing a spate of lawsuits that then are quickly dismissed.
