New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's lawyer took cracks at key witness Michael Cohen during wide-ranging cross-examination Thursday, questioning his memory and poking at his credibility during the first criminal trial of a former US president. Trump is accused of falsifying business records as he reimbursed Cohen for a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, when her story of a sexual encounter with Trump could have doomed his campaign. The defense team has sought to instill doubt by casting Cohen as a disgruntled ex-employee who habitually lies and is out for blood a...

San Francisco (AFP) - The US Justice Department on Tuesday said Boeing can be prosecuted for two subsequent 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people approximately five years ago. Boeing breached obligations under an agreement that had shielded it against legal proceedings for the accidents, department officials said in a letter to a federal court in Texas. Boeing told AFP "we believe that we have honored the terms of that agreement" and said that it plans to defend itself. US officials said in their letter that Boeing breached its obligations under a deferred prosecution agreement (DFA) by "fail...

Washington (AFP) - US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who has found himself under scrutiny over his judicial decisions and accepting lavish gifts from a billionaire Republican, is dismissing the criticism as "nastiness" and "lies," according to US media. "There's certainly been a lot of negativity in our lives, my wife and I, over the last few years, but we choose not to focus on it," the New York Times quoted Thomas as saying Friday at a judicial conference in the southern US state of Alabama. Staunch conservative Thomas, the longest-serving justice on the court, has been embroiled in ...

London (AFP) - Hollywood star Kevin Spacey is facing a civil trial in London over a sexual abuse claim after a judge on Tuesday set aside a previous default ruling against the actor. A man made the claim against the Oscar-winning actor at the High Court in London in 2022, alleging he was sexually assaulted and was suffering "psychiatric damage" as a result. But the case was put on hold when Spacey was then criminally charged with various sexual offences. He was later acquitted. Spacey's legal team were meant to file a written defence for the civil case once the criminal proceedings ended, but ...

New York (AFP) - The lawyer who negotiated a hush money payment from Donald Trump to porn star Stormy Daniels was grilled on Thursday by the former US president's defense attorney, who suggested his activities bordered on "extortion." Trump, 77, is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 payment to Daniels just days ahead of the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton. The trial, the first ever of an ex-president, resumed on Thursday after a day off on Wednesday with prosecutors urging Judge Juan Merchan to fine Trump for more violations of a...

Strasbourg (France) (AFP) - Italy is allowed to confiscate an ancient Greek bronze fished from the Adriatic in the 1960s and now in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Europe's top rights court ruled Thursday. Representing a nude athlete and known in the United States as "Victorious Youth", the statue vanished following its 1964 discovery until its 1977 purchase by the museum. The Getty has since refused to return it to Italy. The museum appealed to the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) after Italy's top tribunal in 2019 upheld an Italian confiscation order for the bronze. Fo...

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 ...

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...
