New York (AFP) - Jurors in Donald Trump's hush money trial begin deliberating Wednesday on whether to return the first criminal conviction of a former president -- a momentous decision that could upend the November presidential election. After weeks of testimony from more than 20 witnesses, the piercing glare of the legal spotlight now shifts firmly to the anonymous 12-member panel that holds Trump's fate in its hands. After receiving final instructions from the judge, the jury will retire to consider a verdict that -- whichever way it goes -- will have an outsized impact on Trump, and the cou...

New York (AFP) - Prosecutors pleaded with jurors Tuesday to use their "common sense" and find Donald Trump guilty, as the first ever criminal trial of a former president reached its dramatic final phase. With both sides wrapping up their closing arguments, the stage is now set for the 12-member panel to begin deliberating Wednesday. Less than six months before an election in which Trump is seeking to return to the White House, the stakes are high both for the 77-year-old personally and for the country. Trump is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen for...

New York (AFP) - Actor Robert De Niro on Tuesday spoke outside the New York court where Donald Trump is standing trial, branding him a dangerous "clown" who will become a dictator for life if reelected. De Niro, a longtime political activist and critic of Trump, has taken a growing role in the campaign to reelect Joe Biden, including starring in a new hard-hitting TV ad for the Democratic Party. "When Trump ran in 2016, it was like a joke," DeNiro told reporters, calling the former president a "clown" and a "tyrant." "We have a second chance, and no one is laughing now. This is the time to sto...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump arrived Tuesday for closing arguments in his New York hush money trial ahead of the jury deciding whether to make him the first criminally convicted former president and current White House hopeful in history. The defense team will start off, seeking to persuade the jury that the Republican committed no crime when he paid to bury a news story on the eve of his shock 2016 election win about an alleged sexual encounter with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors will get the last word. They will lay out the case that Trump falsified business records to keep the...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump appealed for support from the fringe Libertarian Party on Saturday, telling a rowdy crowd that if elected he would free from prison an American man who ran a website that sold millions of dollars in drugs. The announcement came at a contentious speech -- where the crowd often jeered and booed the ex-president -- at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, as he seeks support in the November US election against incumbent Joe Biden. "If you vote for me, on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht," Trump said, in a line that brought the rowd...

New York (AFP) - The historic trial of Donald Trump enters its final act Tuesday, with closing arguments to the jury who must then decide whether to hand down the first ever criminal conviction of a former US president. Less than six months before American voters choose whether to return Trump to the White House, the stakes riding on the verdict are hard to overstate -- for the 77-year-old personally, but also for the country as a whole. Trump is accused of falsifying business records to buy the silence of porn star Stormy Daniels about a 2006 sexual encounter between them that could have dama...

Washington (AFP) - Independent White House hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr on Friday accused Joe Biden and Donald Trump of trampling on the US constitution as he launched a trenchant defense of Americans' civil liberties. In a guest speech in front of a small crowd at the Libertarian Party's national convention in Washington, the anti-vaccine activist berated the president and his Republican predecessor over pandemic-era health curbs and threats to free speech. "If you treasure freedom, you'd better elect leaders who are inspired by it and who will wield it to inspire others, leaders who believe ...

Washington (AFP) - From testy exchanges with reporters to outright silence, the pressure of Joe Biden's US presidential election battle with Donald Trump appears to be straining his relationship with the media. While the 81-year-old Biden has never shown his predecessor's outright hostility to journalists, the Democrat has recently appeared to lose his cool with the press. His increasing irritability coincides with a recent rash of polls showing him trailing his scandal-tainted Republican rival with less than six months until the November 5 vote. The most recent example was a grumpy exchange w...
