New York (AFP) - Donald Trump faces a contempt of court hearing on Tuesday as part of his historic criminal trial, with New York prosecutors insisting the former president repeatedly violated the gag order issued to prevent him from intimidating witnesses. The hearing comes a day after the jury heard opening arguments in Trump's hush money case, with prosecutors placing him at the center of a criminal conspiracy while his defense team insisted he was "cloaked in innocence." The case, which centers on allegations of business fraud in the lead-up to Trump's 2016 election victory, is the first-ev...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump engaged in "election fraud" by paying hush money to a porn star just days before the 2016 White House vote, prosecutors said Monday at the first ever criminal trial of a former US president. "This case is about a criminal conspiracy and a cover-up," Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo said. "He orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election." Laying out the prosecution's case for the jury, Colangelo said Trump falsified business records to buy the silence of porn star Stormy Daniels over a 2006 sexual encounter that could have i...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court will hear arguments Thursday on whether Donald Trump, as a former president, should be immune from criminal prosecution for acts he committed while in office. The nine justices' ruling could have far-reaching implications for the extent of US executive power -- and Trump's own multiple legal issues as he seeks the White House again. And while most constitutional law experts expect Trump to suffer a legal defeat, he may already have won a political victory. By agreeing to take the case, the court delayed -- perhaps indefinitely -- the start of Trump's tri...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump sat in a New York courtroom Monday watching history unfold, a glum witness to his own turn as the first US president to face criminal prosecution. Most court proceedings are deliberate, scripted and glacial -- tedious for any observer to sit through, let alone a brash real estate mogul used to getting what he wants, when he wants. But the 45th president vying for another go in the nation's highest office is set to spend the next month or two forced to sit in a drafty 15th-floor courtroom with peeling paint and fluorescent lights, speaking only when spoken to. In t...

Der Schriftsteller Salman Rushdie (76) hat die Befürchtung geäußert, eine zweite Amtszeit von Donald Trump als US-Präsident könne schlimmer ausfallen als die erste. Bei einer Gesprächsrunde in London, zu der er online zugeschaltet war, wurde er gefragt, welche Auswirkungen eine Wiederwahl Trumps seiner Einschätzung nach haben würde. Rushdie fragte dann etwas amüsiert, wie viel Zeit sie hätten. «Ich glaube, die Auswirkungen wären sehr groß und sehr negativ», sagte Rushdie. Er sei aber optimistisch und glaube, dass Trump nicht gewinnen werde. Das habe er allerdings auch geglaubt, als Trump gegen...
