Former President Donald Trump should pay $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for public statements he made in 2019 disparaging Carroll and denying her rape allegations, a Manhattan federal jury determined Friday.
No super immunity for Trump. A much-anticipated appeals court ruling confirms that, no, former President Donald Trump does not have absolute immunity from prosecution
Trump had one of his best weeks as cases against him appeared to implode
Efforts to take Trump off the ballot and the former president's alleged interference in Georgia's election results are floundering
While Woody Allen once said that "80 percent of success is showing up," former President Donald Trump proved this week that the same could be said about "just sticking around." Trump had one of the best weeks as cases and critics seemed to implode, from the disqualification effort in Washington to the scandal in Georgia. Yet, Trump is not out of the woods and is facing significant threats in what is becoming a war of attrition.
In Washington, the Supreme Court gave a chilly reception to the disqualification effort that bordered on the glacial. While law professors like Harvard's Laurence Tribe insisted that the basis for barring Trump from office under the 14th Amendment was "unassailable," the justices seemed utterly unconvinced and there is now the possibility that the entire effort could now be defeated unanimously. Even liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared to imply that the effort was anti-democratic.
The case against Trump in Georgia is floundering, as allegations mount against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her intimate relationship with her subordinate special prosecutor Nathan J. Wade. This week, a court filing alleged that Willis and Wade filed false claims in court on when their relationship began. The two prosecutors have insisted that they only became intimate after Willis hired Wade. Wade's former lawyer has reportedly come forward to contest that claim.
hat allegation, if true, could make the continuation of Willis and Wade in the case untenable. Various defendants being prosecuted in Georgia are accused of false statements and filings in court. Of course, the removal of Willis and Wade will not necessarily end the case, but it will present logistical and optical problems for the office.
Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.
