Republican Infighting Is Getting Uglier
Quick Glance: Trump defends Johnson's handling of Ukraine vote
  • Former President Trump defended Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for bringing additional aid for Ukraine and other national security priorities to a vote in the House.

  • Trump mentioned the difficulty Johnson faced due to the GOP's narrow majority, stating that it was challenging to be too tough in such a situation.

  • The debate over providing billions in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan divided House Republicans and led to calls from Trump allies for Johnson's removal as Speaker.

  • Johnson defied his conservative critics by moving forward with bills for overseas assistance, separate from a failed border security bill, emphasizing the importance of supporting democratic allies facing threats.

Trump loses access to $175M in civil fraud bond cash
Quick Glance: Trump Agrees to New Restrictions on $175 Million Bond in New York Civil Fraud Case
  • The bond is meant to secure Trump's compliance with a $454.2 million judgment won by state Attorney General Letitia James if he does not succeed in an appeal.

  • James had challenged the bond this month, saying Trump still had access to the Charles Schwab account pledged to the insurer as collateral.

  • Justice Arthur Engoron imposed the penalty after finding that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth and real estate assets to deceive banks and insurers into providing better terms.

  • Trump defended the bond in court, emphasizing that he has plenty of money to put up for it.
