Push Notification

Donald Trump continued freaking out over his inability to secure a surety bond to hold off his massive New York fraud judgment Thursday — and had a new attack for the judge in his fraud case.

The former president was found liable for fraud in a civil lawsuit brought by state Attorney General Letitia James, and he has already filed a notice of appeal of the $454 million penalty imposed last month by Judge Arthur Engoron for habitually falsifying business records for his own financial benefit.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg hit back Thursday at attempts by Donald Trump to dismiss his trial in the hush money case.

Trump had won a delay after the Southern District of New York unexpectedly released a massive dump of documents related to the case, pushing the start back from March 25 to April 15.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) lashed out at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) Thursday over a bill to avert a government shutdown.

Roy told conservative podcast host Steve Bannon that Johnson had made too many concessions to Democrats in the bill.

Former President Donald Trump's media company is facing an internal battle as several figures who played a role in its founding are taking legal action, or are the targets of suits themselves.

Trump Media and Technology Group was founded in the wake of the former president being kicked off Twitter in 2021 owing to his posts during the January 6 attack. It oversees Trump's own social media platform, Truth Social.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson's $1 trillion bill, which must pass the House and Senate and be signed into law before 12:01 AM Saturday, includes several provisions Democrats oppose but have little choice to try to remove if they want to avoid a partial shutdown of the federal government.

Among them, a ban on flying LGBTQ+ pride flags at U.S. embassies.

Attorney General Letitia James “is acting appropriately under the law” and “by law has no choice” but to go after Trump’s assets after he was found liable for civil business fraud, according to a Fox News report.

“The lawyers we talked to say she is acting appropriately under the law, which says when Judge [Arthur] Engoron issued his civil fraud penalty, James, by law, has no choice other than to go after Trump’s assets to pay that penalty,” Fox News’s reporters stated Wednesday.

A week after the U.S. House approved a bill that could end up banning TikTok in the United States, the platform is calling on its most devoted users to contact their lawmakers to voice opposition.

Some are including threats with those messages.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and his guests issued a chilling warning to wealthy Americans who support Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Billionaire megadonors, who had abandoned the former president after the Jan. 6 insurrection, have returned to the fold now that he has seemingly locked down the Republican Party nomination, but panelists on "Morning Joe" said they're wrong to think they're immune from the threats Trump poses to democracy and the constitutional order.

Sparks flew this week when CNN correspondent Shimon Prokupecz caught up with far-right North Carolina superintendent candidate Michele Morrow, who refused to discuss any of her past controversial remarks on social media.

Morrow, a homeschooling advocate who defeated the Republican incumbent for the nomination in a surprise upset, has called for former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden to be executed, called public schools "indoctrination centers," promoted QAnon conspiracy theories, and suggested that China stationed troops in Canada to rig the 2020 presidential election — none of which she was willing to discuss with Prokupecz.

Former President Donald Trump is struggling to come up with a $464 million bond payment to appeal his New York fraud verdict, and CNN legal analyst Elie Honig on Thursday outlined some ways he could come up with the money or at least delay having to pay it.

During an analysis of Trump's current financial predicament, host John Berman asked Honig what Trump could do to get out handing over a massive sum of money to the state of New York.

Former President Donald Trump started the year with a modest lead in polling against President Joe Biden — but there are already cracks starting to emerge in his bid to retake the White House.

And the Biden campaign is planning to unleash a blitz of attacks capitalizing on these vulnerabilities.

The House Republican impeachment inquiry into president Joe Biden fell flat once again in a hearing that wasn't even carried live on Fox News, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough identified the major mistake GOP lawmakers made.

Democrats undercut the credibility of another GOP witness with troubling ties to Russia, while former Rudy Giuliani associate and convicted fraudster Lev Parnas testified that the allegations that formed the basis of the inquiry were manufactured by Russian intelligence officials, and the "Morning Joe" host said Republicans should have let the case play out as a whisper campaign instead of subjecting the evidence to real scrutiny.
