Wilmington (United States) (AFP) - Joe Biden's son Hunter goes on trial Monday on gun charges, the first prosecution in US history for the child of a sitting president -- just as the Democratic leader is seeking to accelerate his campaign for reelection. The 54-year-old denies three felony counts stemming from his purchase of a .38-caliber Colt Cobra revolver in 2018 when, by his own admission, he was heavily addicted to drugs. The Yale-trained lawyer and lobbyist-turned-artist has been plagued by legal troubles and controversies that have been a drag on his father's campaign, mostly connected...

New York (AFP) - President Joe Biden branded Donald Trump "reckless" Friday after the Republican lashed out in rambling, angry comments at verdicts in New York making him the first former US president to become a convicted felon. The dramatic climax to Trump's hush money trial came five months before the November 5 election, when the tycoon hopes to unseat Biden and make a shocking return to power. Speaking in New York, Trump, 77, confirmed he would appeal the verdict, which he branded a "scam." He billed the event as a press conference but did not take questions, instead launching into an ext...

New York (AFP) - They sat in judgement on one of the most powerful and controversial men in the United States, protected only by court-ordered anonymity. Now that thin armor is gone and the 12 jurors who convicted Donald Trump must resume their normal lives in a country where politically motivated harassment -- and even violence -- are growing facts of life. Following their verdict on Thursday, Judge Juan Merchan spent considerable time thanking the jury, telling them they "were engaged in a difficult and stressful task." After overcoming the rigors and tensions of the sprawling case, jurors...

Houston (AFP) - The Texas Supreme Court unanimously rejected on Friday a challenge to the state's strict abortion laws brought by women who had serious pregnancy complications but were denied abortions. The case was filed last year on behalf of two dozen women who were denied abortions even though they had in some cases life-threatening medical issues with their pregnancies. The suit was the first in the nation brought on behalf of women denied abortions since the US Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to the procedure in June 2022. The Center for Reproductive Rights argued in th...

Washington (AFP) - The New York hush money case against Donald Trump was considered the weakest by many legal experts but it resulted in a stunning conviction and is likely to be the only one of the four facing the ex-president to be tried before the November election. Trump, 77, has been indicted in Washington and Georgia on far more serious charges -- seeking to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. The Republican, who is seeking to recapture the White House in November, also faces charges in Florida for allegedly hoarding top secret documents after leaving office in January...

By Nicolas REVISE, Andréa BAMBINO New York (AFP) - Donald Trump a dénoncé vendredi une "arnaque" après avoir été reconnu coupable à l'issue de son procès pénal à New York, des propos jugés "irresponsables" par son adversaire démocrate, le président Joe Biden. La campagne pour l'élection présidentielle du 5 novembre entre le président démocrate et son prédécesseur républicain est plongée dans l'incertitude depuis qu'un jury du tribunal de Manhattan a estimé jeudi que le milliardaire s'était rendu "coupable" de falsifications comptables. Jamais un ancien président américain n'avait été reconnu c...
