New York (AFP) - Donald Trump has obtained a bond sufficient to cover an $83.3 million penalty as the former president appeals a jury's verdict in a sexual assault defamation case, court documents showed Friday. On January 26 Trump was ordered by a jury in New York to compensate the writer E. Jean Carroll, whom he was found to have sexually assaulted and defamed, a decision he is now challenging in a higher court. Trump's lawyer Alina Habba said that he had obtained a bond of $91.6 million, according to a document filed with a Manhattan court. He was ordered to pay $65 million in punitive dama...

San Francisco (AFP) - OpenAI, the firm behind ChatGPT, on Tuesday denied Elon Musk's accusations of "betrayal" of its original mission and said it would push to have them dismissed in court. The boss of Tesla, SpaceX and X was one of the co-founders of OpenAI in 2015 along with Sam Altman but left the organization in 2018 and is now one of its most vocal critics. Musk launched a legal case against OpenAI last week, arguing in documents filed in a San Francisco court that the firm was always intended as a nonprofit entity. "We intend to move to dismiss all of Elon's claims," OpenAI and its exec...

San Francisco (AFP) - Elon Musk has launched a legal case against OpenAI, the AI firm he helped to set up in 2015, accusing its leaders of a "betrayal" of its founding mission. The tycoon, who left OpenAI in 2018, argued in documents filed in a San Francisco court late Thursday that the firm was always intended as a nonprofit entity. But he said recent boardroom changes meant OpenAI was now effectively a subsidiary of software giant Microsoft, arguing that this was breach of contract. Musk has accused Microsoft of controlling OpenAI several times, with both firms denying the claims. Antitrust ...

New York (AFP) - A judge rejected Wednesday former US president Donald Trump's offer of a $100 million bond to partially cover the $355 million penalty a New York court handed him for fraud. Trump, who built a public profile as a property developer and businessman in New York before entering politics, could have to sell or mortgage properties to post collateral to cover the shattering penalty if his ongoing appeal fails. Trump was required to organize a bond as he challenges the February 16 court ruling that found he manipulated the values of his properties to secure more favorable rates for l...

New York (AFP) - A US federal jury on Tuesday convicted two men of murdering the famed Run-DMC member Jam Master Jay, a case that had gone unsolved for more than two decades. Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan Jr., the alleged shooter, were found guilty on all counts, convicted of murder while engaged in narcotics trafficking and firearms-related murder. The defendants -- Jordan in a forest green vest and pants and Washington in a light blue sweater -- were stoic ahead of the verdict's delivery but grew audibly emotional as they learned of the jury's decision. "Y'all just killed two innocent pe...

New York (AFP) - The prosecutors in Donald Trump's first criminal trial next month asked Monday for the judge to impose a gag order on the former president, arguing that he had a record of disparaging witnesses. Trump stands accused in the case of paying hush money to a porn star, for which he faces 34 counts of allegedly doctoring business records as part of a cover-up. The gag order request cited threats to the prosecutor and his staff, and comes as Trump faces a variety of civil and criminal legal proceedings. Separately on Monday, Trump's team appealed a $355 million penalty imposed in an ...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court, in a case that could determine the future of social media, heard arguments on Monday about whether a pair of state laws that limit content moderation are constitutional. The justices appeared to have concerns about the scope of the laws passed by conservative Republican lawmakers in Florida and Texas in a bid to stem what they claim is political bias by the big tech companies. "I have a problem with laws like this that are so broad that they stifle speech just on their face," said Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a liberal. Florida's measure bars social media p...

New York (AFP) - The Eagles frontman Don Henley said Monday he was the victim of "extortion" as the trial began of three men accused of trying to sell around 100 pages of stolen notes from the band's 1976 album "Hotel California". The large notebooks' contents were the product of the band's work and were "some of the stupid things we wrote down" before reaching final versions of hits including "Hotel California," said Henley, currently on a farewell world tour. "They (were) not supposed to be seen," said Henley, 76, who wore a suit and tie. Opposite him, three collectors were in the dock: Cr...
