Former president Donald J. Trump could face yet another criminal prosecution if his biographer has anything to say about it.

Trump biographer David Cay Johnston, who has covered Trump's taxes and financial matters for years, appeared on MSNBC's Alex Witt Reports Sunday. The host asked him about Trump's tax records.

"There's a lot of ifs on all of this. Going back to 2017 when you obtained some of his tax records from 2005. In 2022 you said his taxes were the best case yet for putting him in prison. Of course that has not happened. Could he be in legal jeopardy for that?" the host asked. ...

If Trump had it his way, he would be immune right out of the womb.

So says the barrage of knocks aimed at Trump's attorney Alina Habba.

The esquire who once said: “Somebody said to me ‘Alina, would you rather be smart or pretty?’ and I said ‘Oh easy, pretty… I can fake being smart’" — went on Fox News to imply that her client, former President Donald Trump, deserves to have his immunity claim before the Supreme Court completed before he sets foot in any one of his criminal trials. ...

Residents of a small town in Sancti Spiritus, in central Cuba, were shocked last year when the body of a schoolteacher was retrieved from a well.

State media outlets, banned in the past from publishing crime stories, reported the murder and praised the police for what they said was a pr......

The charges are piling up against former President Donald Trump — and his legal calendar is getting as crowded as the Republican primary schedule. Trump was hit Thursday with a superseding indictment in the Mar-a-Lago documents case even as his lawyers were told to expect another indictment in an unrelated probe into his alleged plot to overturn the 2020 election.

WASHINGTON -- There have been many cases where people have gone to prison for mishandling classified documents. The difference for former President Donald Trump, in the eyes of Sen. Josh Hawley, is that Trump used to be president. On Wednesday, a former FBI analyst in Dodge City, Kansas, was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for keeping more than 300 documents at her home over the course of more than 12 years at the bureau. She kept them on hard drives, CDs and paper documents. She allegedly had information about Al Qaeda members and activity in Africa. Former President Donald Trump all......
