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.

Supreme Court justices skeptical of sweeping immunity claims by Trump
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.

Who could buy TikTok?: The clock has begun ticking for TikTok to find a new owner.

Who could buy TikTok?
Quick Glance: Potential Buyers for TikTok Revealed
  • The clock is ticking for TikTok to find a new owner. President Joe Biden signed a law that could ban TikTok in the US unless ByteDance sells the app. Possible buyers range from tech companies to retailers and investment bankers.

  • Established tech giants like Meta or Google are unlikely buyers due to antitrust hurdles. Large companies with deep pockets face regulatory skepticism, although they could have the resources to purchase TikTok.

  • Microsoft, which has shown interest in TikTok in the past, may have another opportunity after successfully navigating antitrust scrutiny with the Activision Blizzard deal. Oracle and former US government officials like Steven Mnuchin are also potential buyers.

  • Mnuchin has announced assembling a team of investors to acquire TikTok. His offer, however, might exclude TikTok's algorithm, sparking controversial discussions. Other potential buyers like Kevin O'Leary are also considering acquiring TikTok, with O'Leary suggesting an initial bid between $20 and $30 billion.

Quick Glance: Giuliani, Meadows Charged in Arizona 'Fake Elector' Indictment
  • An Arizona grand jury handed up felony charges against Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and other prominent Trump allies for allegedly attempting to prevent the lawful transfer of power from then-President Trump to Joe Biden.

  • Only the 11 alternate electors are identified by name, but descriptions contained within the charging documents make clear the other defendants include Giuliani, Meadows, Boris Epshteyn, John Eastman, Christina Bobb, and Mike Roman.

  • Arizona is now the fourth of those states to bring charges against the slates of pro-Trump electors, following charges brought in Michigan, Nevada, and Georgia.
