Millions more go to Trump legal expenses as Biden and Democratic Party expand campaign cash advantage

cnn.com/2024/04/20/politics/campaign-finance-reports-trump-legal-fees/

Quick Glance: Millions more spent on Trump legal fees as Biden and Democratic Party expand campaign funds lead

Donald Trump’s leadership PAC spent as much money as it took in last month, with his legal bills remaining a top expense as the former president grappled both with the aftermath of losing a civil fraud case and prepared for the start of a historic criminal trial in a Manhattan court.

Save America, the political action committee that has underwritten much of Trump’s legal expenses, spent nearly $3.7 million on legal-related expenses in March – nearly $3 out of every $4 it collected, according to a filing Saturday night with the Federal Election Commission.

President Joe Biden alongside the Democratic National Committee increased their financial lead over Trump and the GOP in the past month.

The financial boost for Kennedy, the vice presidential pick of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., represents a financial boon for his independent bid for the White House. His campaign received a $2 million donation from Nicole Shanahan in March and raised over $3 million more that same month, based on campaign filings.

The Teamsters union, sought after by both Biden and Donald Trump, abstained from the vote but will endorse after their own convention.

The union's backing for Biden is more enthusiastic than in 2020 and is intended to be a strong rebuke of Trump.

The union praises Biden's efforts for workers, highlighting the created jobs, worker protections, and apprenticeship programs written into law.

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Fifteen members of the Kennedy political dynasty backed U.S. President Joe Biden at an event in Philadelphia, distancing themselves from Robert F. Kennedy Jr's independent candidacy.

Biden, a Democrat, faces a rematch with Republican Donald Trump in November, with concerns arising over potential spoiler effects from Kennedy's candidacy as a prominent anti-vaccine activist.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, son of the late U.S. senator and presidential candidate, garners 15% voter support, contrasting with Biden's 39% and Trump's 38% in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Kennedy family members are expected to assist local volunteers in supporting Biden's campaign, following their endorsement at an event in Philadelphia.

Quick Glance: Supreme Court to Decide on Donald Trump's Prosecution Immunity

Donald Trump argues before the Supreme Court that as a former President, he is largely immune from prosecution. The decision will impact the speed at which Trump faces trial in Washington, D.C.

At the heart of the matter is whether a former President enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution. Trump's team contends his actions were official acts shielded from prosecution, while prosecutors argue against immunity.

Legal experts anticipate Trump's likely defeat at the Supreme Court. The outcome could also affect his other ongoing trials.

With a 6-3 conservative majority, the Court has various options, including affirming Trump's immunity claim, setting a precedent, or remanding the case for further review by the D.C. judge.

A jury that will decide Trump’s fate begins to take shape as first criminal trial powers ahead

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Kennedy’s ex-environmental colleagues sign letter urging him to drop White House bid

thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4604949-kennedys-ex-colleagues-drop-bid/

Quick Glance: RFK Jr.'s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to End Presidential Bid

Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

As an independent candidate for the White House, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claims he would be the “best environment president in American history,” drawing on his past as a crusading lawyer who went after polluters in New York.

But dozens of Mr. Kennedy’s former colleagues at the Natural Resources Defense Council are calling on him to withdraw from the race, in full-page advertisements sponsored by the group’s political arm that are expected to appear in newspapers in six swing states on Sunday.

Separately, a dozen other national environmental organizations have issued an open letter calling Mr. Kennedy “ a “dangerous conspiracy theorist and a science denier” who promotes “toxic beliefs” on vaccines and on climate change.

Quick Glance: Biden's Cannibal Story Causes Confusion in Papua New Guinea

Joe Biden's claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea during World War Two has sparked confusion and criticism in the country.

Official war records state that Finnegan died in a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean, with no mention of cannibalism or the plane being shot down.

Analysts in Papua New Guinea consider Biden's comments unsubstantiated and poorly judged, especially as the US aims to strengthen ties with the country and counter Chinese influence in the region.

Some residents were simply baffled by the remarks, while others found them unhelpful and damaging to Papua New Guinea's reputation, particularly after Biden cancelled a planned trip to the country last year.
