Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll
  • A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.

  • In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”

  • Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”

  • In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
  • ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

  • TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

  • ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

  • After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

Quick Glance: Grant Gustin Remembers The Flash's Vanishing in a Crisis
  • Grant Gustin recalls the day when The Flash disappeared in a Crisis.

  • Devotees of The Flash ponder over the instance when Grant Gustin's CW champion faded away. Throughout the Arrowverse era, The Flash's disappearance was subtly hinted at during the enduring superhero saga.

  • Gustin disclosed, 'I am intrigued by James Gunn's approach to this. Consequently, we might have conversed about Superman at certain junctures - possibly on a few occasions. The topic of Flash has never come up in our discussions. I am simply elated about his involvement with Superman.'

  • Today marks the acknowledgment of The Flash's disappearance in a Crisis. It is truly fulfilling to commemorate this occurrence a decade later. The impact of witnessing this phenomenon for the first time was undeniably remarkable. I hold a deep admiration for this show, it undeniably distinguishes itself.
