Letitia James

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta on Tuesday slapped down former President Donald Trump's effort to dismiss a civil lawsuit filed by Capitol Police officers who were injured during the riot that Trump incited on January 6, 2021.

According to Politico's Kyle Cheney, Mehta shot down Trump's claims that his actions leading up to and during the January 6 riots are not subject to civil litigation because they "fall within the 'outer perimeter' of his presidential responsibilities."

A special prosecutor who quit the team earlier this year says Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. backed off from the notion of indicting former President Donald Trump because he was worried about losing the case.

The investigation had probed whether Trump fraudulently overvalued multiple assets to secure loans and then undervalued them to minimize taxes.

One of Donald Trump's defense attorneys was sued by a Black former legal assistant for allegedly creating a hostile workplace.

The lawsuit alleges attorney Alina Habba and her new firm partner Michael Madaio regularly blasted hip-hop music and sang along with raunchy lyrics -- including the N-word -- that made legal assistant Na’syia Drayton very uncomfortable, reported The Daily Beast.

Former President Donald Trump has canceled a scheduled event in North Carolina due to a subpoena in New York.

Last week, real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield was ordered to pay $10,000 a day until it complies with a subpoena issued by New York Attorney General Letitia James. By Sunday evening, however, the firm revealed that the company will move forward with providing information.

In a statement to reporter Nancy Levin, Cushman & Wakefield said, "We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the [Office of the Attorney General] that relates to an interim stay of the Contempt ruling. Since the beginning of the New York Attorney General's investigation in 2019, Cushman & Wakefield has endeavored to cooperate with the OAG's investigation, responding to multiple document subpoenas and eight testimony subpoenas. We will continue to work to produce the documents requested by the OAG by Wednesday, July 13, in accordance with our agreement."

According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, Donald Trump and his family are about to enter what the journalist called a "summer of legal hell" as a multitude of his legal problems -- both civil and criminal -- come to a head.

While much of the focus of the former president's legal travails has been on the House select committee Jan 6th hearings attempting to prove that Trump had a hand in the seditious insurrection, as well as the special grand jury in Georgia looking into his attempts to subvert the 2020 election results, the former president is also facing several depositions he must endure tied to lawsuits he and his family are facing.

The New York Times revealed this week that at least two of President Donald Trump's foes were suspiciously targeted by the IRS for extensive and "invasive" audits.

"Among tax lawyers, the most invasive type of random audit carried out by the I.R.S. is known, only partly jokingly, as 'an autopsy without the benefit of death,'" said the report.

Longtime Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen detailed his cooperation with four separate investigations into his former boss in a new legal filing reviewed by Raw Story.

In the 21-page document filed on Wednesday, attorney David Schwartz asks Judge Jesse Furman to discharge Cohen from supervised release.

New York Justice Arthur F. Engoron has imposed a daily $10,000 fine on real estate giant Cushman and Wakefield for failing to turn over documents to state investigators examining if Donald Trump inflated the value of his real estate holdings.

"On Tuesday afternoon, a clearly irked Justice Arthur F. Engoron signed an order ripping into the real estate behemoth for missing a deadline to turn over documents—after having two months to meet it," The Daily Beast reported. "He criticized the company, which routinely helped Trump value properties in ways that benefited him directly, for dragging its feet."

New York officials expressed shock and outrage Thursday at a Supreme Court ruling that strikes down a gun law, warning the move would undermine public safety.

The 6-3 ruling, which comes as the country grapples with a shocking surge in gun crime, overturns a New York state law that required a person to prove they had legitimate self-defense needs to receive a gun permit.

In a little over a month former President Donald Trump will take the stand in the case involving his company, the Trump Organization, to answer questions about possibly committing fraud.

According to CNBC, the Republican leader will be joined by his top two vice presidents and heirs, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump. The Trump family has fought Attorney General Letitia James' subpoenas in the case for nearly a year, but in Feb. 2022, the judge demanded that they all comply.
