New York (AFP) - A former close advisor to Donald Trump testified in court Friday about the "crisis" that engulfed his 2016 presidential campaign after a tape emerged of him bragging about groping women. Hope Hicks was the first ex-member of Trump's inner circle to take the stand in his historic criminal trial -- in which he stands charged of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to a porn star to avoid another scandal before the 2016 election. "(I) was a little stunned," Hicks said of the now infamous Access Hollywood tape in which Trump was heard boasting about grabbing...

By Andréa BAMBINO New York (AFP) - Une deuxième semaine de débats se conclut vendredi au procès de Donald Trump à New York pour paiements dissimulés à l'ancienne star de films X Stormy Daniels. Dans cette affaire aux enjeux politiques énormes, le candidat républicain à l'élection de novembre face au président sortant démocrate Joe Biden est poursuivi pour 34 falsifications de documents comptables. Donald Trump a encore déploré vendredi à son arrivée au tribunal que ce procès l'éloigne de la campagne. Il a reproché au juge Juan Merchan, dont il conteste systématiquement l'impartialité, de "cher...

Monrovia (AFP) - Le président du Liberia Joseph Boakai a signé jeudi un décret marquant une étape majeure vers la création d'un tribunal qui jugerait les crimes des guerres civiles et que les victimes réclament depuis la fin des atrocités il y a plus de vingt ans. Environ 250.000 personnes ont perdu la vie lors des deux guerres civiles qui ont déchiré ce pays ouest-africain anglophone entre 1989 et 2003. Malgré les pressions de la société civile et de la communauté internationale, le Liberia n'a encore tenu aucun procès sur cette période marquée par une litanie d'exactions imputables à toutes ...

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein faced one of his accusers in New York court Wednesday as he was told he would be retried for rape and sexual assault convictions that were overturned in the state. His 2020 conviction for raping ex-actress Jessica Mann, who was in the front row of the courtroom's public gallery and mere feet from Weinstein, was overturned by New York's highest court last week. Weinstein was visibly frail as he was wheeled into the Manhattan courtroom flanked by his lawyers, smiling and waving at supporters as he was pushed in a wheelchair past the public ...

By Gregory WALTON New York (AFP) - L'ancien producteur roi d'Hollywood Harvey Weinstein a fait son retour mercredi au tribunal de New York, où lui ont fait face l'une de ses accusatrices et des procureurs décidés à obtenir un nouveau verdict de culpabilité, après la retentissante annulation de sa condamnation pour viol et agression sexuelle. L'ex-producteur tout puissant du cinéma américain, 72 ans, est apparu diminué, poussé sur une chaise roulante dans une salle d'audience du tribunal de Manhattan, où il a souri et salué ses quelques soutiens. Toujours incarcéré, parce qu'il a aussi écopé en...

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein was due in court in New York on Wednesday for the first time since his convictions in the state were overturned. The hearing, at which a judge is expected to vacate his convictions in the state but not free the 72-year-old because of a separate, unchanged conviction in California, could pave the way for a new trial. Weinstein, 72, was convicted in 2020 of the rape and sexual assault of ex-actress Jessica Mann in 2013, and of forcibly performing oral sex on former production assistant Mimi Haley in 2006. He was sentenced to 23 years in pris...
