Writer E. Jean Carroll is taking a "victory lap" over her defamation judgments against former President Donald Trump, reported NJ.com — and is reminding the public in a post to X that those wins are proof the former president is not invincible amid his numerous other legal troubles.

"Never Forget May 9th!" she wrote — a reference to the one-year anniversary of the first jury ruling that Trump was liable for sexual abuse and defamation to the tune of $5 million. "Trump can be beat! Trump can be trounced! Trump can lose."

In a surprising column posted at the conservative National Review, Donald Trump was dragged over the coals for refusing to take part in the time-honored tradition of the peaceful transfer of power after an election loss and for forcing the Supreme Court to intervene.

With Trump currently embroiled in a criminal trial in Manhattan tied to buying silence from an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election, court watchers are awaiting a ruling from the nation's highest court on the limits of presidential immunity.

Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba made a bold argument that her inability to understand the former president's gag order in his criminal hush money trial was unconstitutional.

Habba spoke to Fox News in an interview from outside the Manhattan criminal courthouse where Trump faces an ongoing trial on charges he falsified business records to cover up hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

The U.S. Supreme Court last month listened to oral arguments both for and against former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity claims.

Trump is claiming that because he was still president in late 2020 and early 2021, he enjoys total immunity against the federal charges in special counsel Jack Smith's election interference case — and therefore, the case should be thrown out altogether.

Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, less than 24 hours after Democrats saved his job in a "motion to vacate" vote, vowed to "round up" and likely deport all of the estimated 11 million undocumented or unauthorized people living or working in the United States of America.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Thursday told Johnson, "the President of the United States, the former president who wants to be the next president, said one of his plans in a talk to Time Magazine is to round up the 11 to 15 million illegals, and then go through them and find out who belongs here and who doesn't. Would you support that?"

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) sent a letter demanding answers from a Bureau of Prisons (BOP) official after the department refused interviews for former White House adviser Peter Navarro while he is incarcerated.

In the letter Thursday, the three Republicans lashed out at BOP Director Colette Peters because Gaetz was denied a meeting with Navarro, who is serving four months in prison for contempt of Congress.

During the cross-examination of adult film star Stormy Daniels on Thursday, Trump attorney Susan Necheles asked the witness a series of questions seemingly unrelated to the matter at hand whose sole purpose appeared to be flattering former President Donald Trump's ego.

At one point, Necheles even asked Daniels to heap praise on Trump's golf prowess and to declare him the biggest celebrity at a golf tournament that included two Super Bowl-winning NFL quarterbacks.

Coming hot on the heels of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green's attempt to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), which crashed and burned spectacularly on Wednesday, CNN's Oliver Darcy suggested her star is crashing right along with her public failures because media mogul Rupert Murdoch is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

In his column for CNN, Darcy claimed that Murdoch's Fox News, Wall Street Journal and the New York Post have combined forces to undermine the Georgia lawmaker and her bomb-throwing which has created chaos in the GOP-controlled Congress.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) flew to New York to join Donald Trump on the 14th day of the hush money trial Thursday — and took a break to attack a favorite target of the ex-president.

Trump faces more than 30 felony charges that accuse him of falsifying business records to cover up money he paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels to stay silent about an alleged affair.

Former President Donald Trump's hush money trial attorney asked adult film Stormy Daniels a question which one legal expert described as "dumb, dumb dumb" – and it sent her rushing and failing to cover her tracks.

Necheles peppered Daniels with many questions Thursday during a cross-examination in the Manhattan criminal courtroom where Trump stands accused of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Alina Habba, Donald Trump's attorney and spokesperson, was seen "smiling ear to ear" as adult film actress Stormy Daniels explained why she needed private security after threats from the former president.

During Daniels' Thursday testimony in Trump's hush money trial, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Susan Hoffinger followed up with defense attorneys Susan Necheles' cross-examination by highlighting the threats Daniels faced after she alleged an affair with Trump.

MANHATTAN CRIMINAL COURT — Donald Trump's attorney appeared to be following his instructions Thursday morning when she demanded detail on two of the former president's favorite topics: golf and his celebrity status.

Necheles questioned Daniels about the 2006 Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament where she first met Trump during his ongoing Manhattan criminal court trial on charges that he falsified business records to bury hush money payments.
