New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's unprecedented criminal trial resumes Thursday in New York with the judge seeking to complete jury selection and kick off arguments in the politically explosive case early next week. Moving the United States into uncharted waters, it is the first criminal trial of a former US president, one who is also battling to retake the White House in November. Trump is facing allegations he falsified business records to cover up an embarrassing affair with a porn star to shield his 2016 presidential campaign from last-minute upheaval. It is just the first of several crimina...

New York (AFP) - Dealing with occasionally rowdy guests as a hotel manager and keeping an orderly workplace as a dishwasher while in college appear to have uniquely prepared the judge handling Donald Trump's trial. In the first two days, Judge Juan Merchan has kept proceedings moving at a clip, overseeing the selection of a third of the jury and alternates despite suggestions that screening could take weeks, while putting former president Trump in his place when he appeared to step out of line. Merchan has said he wants opening arguments to start as soon as Monday, prompting the Republican pre...

New York (AFP) - The judge in Donald Trump's historic criminal trial on Tuesday warned the Republican presidential hopeful against intimidating jurors as seven panelists were chosen with unexpected speed following questioning by both sides. There had been speculation that jury selection could take weeks in such a high-profile and sensitive case -- the first criminal trial of a former US president, who also is running to return to the White House this November. But Judge Juan Merchan ended the session saying he was hopeful opening arguments could begin as early as Monday. After a preliminary ph...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump could not have made his feelings clearer: he would rather be anywhere else than in a New York courtroom Tuesday, on trial for business fraud. Dressed in a blue suit with a blue tie, former US president shifted between discomfort and anger, as he sat through the second day of the historic proceeding, the first criminal trial of a US president. "This is a trial that should have never been brought," Trump told reporters outside the courtroom, as he lashed out against President Joe Biden, his Democratic rival in the November presidential election, and what he called t...

New York (AFP) - One said he'd read Donald Trump's books. But another took a look at the glowering defendant in the Manhattan courtroom and excused herself, saying, "I couldn't." Eight million people live in New York but just 12 are being picked to judge the most controversial man in the country -- and it's not a job everyone wants. Trump grew up in New York, made his name there, and for decades has been part of the city's brash landscape. And of course he's also been president and is running again. It's hard in the Big Apple not to have an opinion on the Republican -- or on the multiple crimi...

San Francisco (AFP) - Donald Trump's media group said Tuesday it will launch a streaming television platform, but its shares continued to tumble on Wall Street. The announcement came as 77-year-old former US president Trump sat through a second day of jury selection in his historic criminal trial. No other ex-president in US history has been hauled before a criminal court and the trial in a Manhattan courthouse comes as scandal-plagued Trump is fighting to make a shock return to the White House in November. Trump is accused of falsifying business records in a scheme to cover up reports on the ...

Washington (AFP) - A divided US Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday in a case that could lead to the dismissal of some of the charges filed against former president Donald Trump and hundreds of his supporters who took part in the January 2021 attack on the Capitol. Special Counsel Jack Smith has slapped the 77-year-old Trump with four felony charges related to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. Several of the conservative justices on the nation's highest court appeared to be skeptical on Tuesday of the filing of obstruction charges against ...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's New York criminal trial opened Monday in a historic first for a US ex-president -- and a seismic twist to an already explosive 2024 election where the Republican is seeking to defy multiple scandals and return to power. Trump has repeatedly described the hush money case as a sham. But reality set in for the 77-year-old, hard-right Republican as Judge Juan Merchan issued the routine warning for criminal defendants that he will have to attend proceedings in the gritty Manhattan courthouse daily -- or face arrest. Merchan also warned Trump against repeating his fre...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump said Monday that he has a "real problem" with the judge handling his New York criminal case -- and that he should be on the campaign trail instead of in court. "We're not going to be given a fair trial," Trump told reporters outside the Manhattan courtroom after jury selection ended for the day in his "hush money" trial, one of four separate criminal cases he faces. Trump also criticized Judge Juan Merchan for rejecting his request that he be allowed to attend a Supreme Court hearing next week. Trump argues that as a former president he should be immune from crimi...
