US judge upholds Trump's $83.3 million defamation loss, rejects new trial
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.

Trump’s 'Absolute Immunity' Claim: Live Updates on the Supreme Court
Quick Glance: Supreme Court Hears Trump Immunity Claim in Election Interference Case
  • The Supreme Court is considering Donald Trump’s assertion of total immunity from criminal charges over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.

  • Justices express concerns about whether certain presidential acts should be off-limits, casting doubt on the possibility of a trial taking place before the election.

  • The case scrutinizes the distinction between private and official acts of Trump, with the Court likely rejecting Trump's broadest arguments, potentially immunizing even acts such as ordering a military coup.

  • The focus remains on the legal question of whether a former president can be prosecuted for actions taken while in office, emphasizing the importance of the Court's ruling on the extent of official act protection and the implications for future presidents.

  • Rudy Giuliani, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, is among 18 individuals indicted in Arizona for allegedly illegally attempting to claim the state's 2020 electoral votes for the former US president, with Trump identified as an unindicted co-conspirator.

Hackers Steal Large Sum From Anti-Trump Super PAC The Lincoln Project
Quick Glance: Cybercriminals Steal Significant Amount from Anti-Trump Super PAC The Lincoln Project
  • An unidentified group of hackers targeted the centrist political action committee The Lincoln Project and ultimately stole $35,000 from the organization known for its criticism of Donald Trump.

  • As reported by Raw Story, The Lincoln Project disclosed the loss in a filing to federal regulators that included two 'fraudulent' transactions.

  • The incident was attributed to 'hackers' by the super PAC known for its anti-Trump advertising after a vendor's email account was hacked, and authentic-looking invoices were sent from the vendor's legitimate email address to the organization.

  • Although the transactions had no impact on the fight for a democratic future for our nation, the organization is implementing new procedures to confirm invoices and payments.

Quick Glance: Trump Media Seeks Congressional Probe on 'Troubling' Market Manipulation Claims
  • Trump Media & Technology Group is asking Congress to investigate suspicions of illegal activity affecting its stock price.

  • In a disclosed letter, Devin Nunes, the CEO of Truth Social owner Trump Media, urged GOP Chairmen of relevant House Committees to examine the 'urgent matter' of 'potential manipulation' of the company's stock price.

  • Trump Media recently reported a $58 million loss in 2023 with minimal revenue. The company's price-to-sales ratio, a common stock valuation method, is notably high compared to competitors in the social media sector.

  • In the communication to Congress, Trump Media highlighted that data suggests 'just four market participants' accounted for over 60% of the exceptional trading volume in the company's stock: Citadel Securities, Virtu Americas, G1 Execution Services, and Jane Street Capital.
