According to those who’ve spoken to him lately, former President Donald Trump doesn’t seem to think he’s actually going to win his defamation lawsuit against ABC News and its star host George Stephanopoulos — but that’s not the point.
Over the weekend, Stephanopoulos asserted that Trump had been “found liable for rape and defaming” the victim, writer E. Jean Carroll, by judges and two juries. As a factual matter, a jury found Trump defamed and sexually abused Carroll — and he was ordered to pay $83 million for defaming her again.

Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign staffer and a co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case involving the former president, has accused Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) and a prosecutor in the case of engaging in an “improper” romantic relationship.
Roman — who is seeking to disqualify Willis and the Da’s office from further prosecuting the case, and for the charges against him to be dismissed — claimed Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade of potentially committing “an act to defraud the public of honest services” based on her...

Donald Trump’s allies are searching frantically for legal methods to shut down the investigation in Georgia, another sign of MAGAworld’s growing angst over Trump’s mounting legal troubles — especially in Fulton County.
Last year, the former president told members of his inner circle that, by retaking the White House, he could close federal investigations into his alleged criminal past — and legal experts generally agree that as president he’d have the authority to do so.
But after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged Trump on Monday with leading an ongoing “criminal enterprise,...

Diana Jenkins, who appeared on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” has settled her defamation suit against the anonymous blogger behind the “Crazy Days & Nights” gossip site.
Jenkins sued in November over a series of blind items, tweets and podcast interviews that suggested that she was a sex trafficker who was linked to Jeffrey Epstein. In the settlement, the blogger — who goes by Enty Lawyer — agreed to retract the allegations.
“Diana is not, nor do I now believe she has ever been, involved in illegal or immoral activity,” he said on his blog. “I regret contributing to this false narrative, and I apologize to Diana and her family for the harm my statements have caused.”
Jenkins has dismissed the lawsuit. She posted a statement on Instagram on Tuesday, saying that she is looking forward to putting the situation behind her.
“This was a painful and expensive process, but fighting misinformation...

Donald Trump thought he crushed his Fox News interview. The rest of the world thinks he bumbled it miserably.
In the hours after his interview with Bret Baier aired on Monday, Trump privately boasted about how well he thought he performed. As he asked others if they had caught the interview and what they thought of it, the former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner said the tension and parrying with Baier made him look tough, creating buzzy, attention-grabbing television, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Rolling Stone.

Blood Simple: The Smith’s Sophomore Effort a Lyrical, Uneven Production
It’s been well over a decade now since their first film, 2002’s The Slaughter Rule, which starred both Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams in early film roles, but Alex and Andrew Smith, twin brothers, are back with their sophomore effort, Winter in the Blood. An adaptation of a 1974 novel by James Welch, the Smiths have created an evocative character study that often feels like a period piece, so specifically is it rendered inside the head of its troubled protagonist. Idiosyncratic and offbeat, it’s reminiscent of early, understated Coen Bros. films, a beautiful, troubled nightmare like Barton Fink, for instance. Though the narrative meanders and often feels too elliptical for its own good, the film is a character piece delivered as a languid tone poem, life as a bramble weed drifting simultaneously to freedom and trouble.

There was a time when two veteran straight actors such as John Lithgow and Alfred Molina, taking on the roles of a gay couple and their subsequent travails at married life would have been the tabloid equivalent of shock and awe. It still might raise some eyebrows, but Ira Sachs’ Love Is Strange is a testimony to societal progress in terms of storytelling. Now it will face the box office as the Specialty title platforms this weekend via Sony Classics. A real-life gay marriage takes the spotlight this weekend courtesy of Starz Digital doc To Be Takei about the multi-faceted actor/activist and social media talent who is best known for playing Hikaru Sulu in TV’s original Star Trek. It will be joined by Millennium Entertainment’s Are You Here with Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis and Amy Poehler which will open day and date by Mad Men writer Matthew Weiner.
