Appeals Court Upholds $5M Judgment Against TrumpThe court rejected Trump's bid to overturn a 2023 ruling holding him liable for assault and defamation from the 1990s.
- A federal appeals court refused to rehear President Trump's challenge to a $5 million civil judgment.
- This judgment stemmed from a 2023 jury verdict finding Trump liable for battery and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll relating to incidents in the 1990s.
- The court upheld the damage award despite a dissenting opinion arguing for evidence of Trump's belief that the lawsuit was politically motivated.
- Trump is concurrently appealing a separate $83 million defamation award granted to Carroll.
E. Jean Carroll is very pleased with today’s decision. Although President Trump continues to try every possible maneuver to challenge the findings of two separate juries, those efforts have failed. He remains liable for sexual assault and defamation.— Roberta Kaplan, E. Jean Carroll's attorney, in a statement responding to the appeals court's decision.

Israel’s Massive Strike Deepens West Asia TensionsOn June 13, Israel deployed 200+ aircraft against 100 Iranian sites, killing top generals and scientists, escalating regional instability.
- On June 13, Israel launched a large-scale air raid involving more than 200 aircraft targeting around 100 locations across Iran, including the Natanz nuclear facility.
- The strikes killed key commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and prominent nuclear scientists, prompting Iran to retaliate with drone attacks.
- The operation occurred just days before a scheduled US-Iran nuclear negotiation, effectively disrupting any potential agreement.
- While publicly denying involvement, the US tacitly supported Israel’s military action to neutralize Iran’s nuclear threat and contain the conflict.
As the Bible teaches us, when someone comes to kill you, rise and act first. … We [Israel] have risen like lions to defend ourselves.— Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement before the attacks where he named the assault 'Operation Rising Lion'.
