Billionaire megadonors are lining up behind Donald Trump now that he's won the first two Republican primaries.

The former president will meet for dinner with two-dozen GOP donors Thursday at the Palm Beach, Florida, home of billionaire investor John Paulson, after meeting Saturday with several other megadonors, including aerospace tycoon Robert Bigelow, who had been the biggest contributor to Ron DeSantis, reported Politico.

Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig outlined a detailed analysis of all the possible scenarios that could lead to the stealing of a presidential election — and blasted Donald Trump for choosing the "stupidest possible way" of doing it.

In their new book, "How to Steal a Presidential Election," which Lessig co-authored with Matthew Seligman, they show that there were smarter ways Trump and his allies could have used in an attempt to steal the 2020 election. The way that was chosen was deeply flawed because it relied on blatantly false documents and crackpot legal theories.

In the wake of the United Auto Workers' recent endorsement of Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden over his likely Republican challenger former President Donald Trump, the latter has repeatedly taken aim at UAW president Shawn Fain.

Fain is a "weapon of mass destruction" on autoworkers and the U.S. auto manufacturing industry, Trump declared on his social media platform Monday afternoon, adding: "Is he under contract to China, because they will be getting almost all of our 'car making' business within a very short period of time. All autoworkers should VOTE FOR TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

There may be many ways Donald Trump might appeal Carroll's $83.3 million award, but taking on the judge for his ties to the alleged victim's attorney some three decades ago isn't going to be one of them, one legal expert said.

Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig, appearing on CNN, explained, "There's nothing there."

A longtime friend of E. Jean Carroll's sat in the gallery of the federal courtroom in Manhattan on Friday as a jury awarded a whopping $83.3 million judgment. She described it as "the most dramatic 15 minutes of my life."

Lisa Birnbach, who testified in the summer about a 1996 phone call with Carroll confiding in her about Donald Trump sexually abusing her inside of the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman, was seated in the gallery with her daughter when the jury returned with the judgment. It was nearly ten times the amount they were seeking.

Speaking to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Monday, E. Jean Carroll was joined by her two attorneys, Roberta Kaplan and Shawn Crowley, who revealed what it was like being in the courtroom with Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba.

Habba has been criticized by legal analysts on cable news and social media for being woefully unprepared to handle the case and navigate courtroom procedure. At several points in the trial, Judge Lewis Kaplan (no relation to Carroll's lawyer) was forced to step in and help Habba phrase her questions appropriately.

Former President Donald Trump may have finally been hit hard enough in the pocketbook to learn some basic sense, said attorney Shawn Crowley in an interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC Monday.

Trump is being forced to pay $83.3 million in damages to writer E. Jean Carroll for his defamatory statements calling her a liar for accusing him of rape. Crowley, along with fellow attorney Roberta "Robbie" Kaplan, successfully litigated the case.

E. Jean Carroll thinks that Donald Trump has some mental deficiencies after experiencing him in court.

Speaking to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow with her attorneys, Carroll explained her fears and anxieties seeing Trump for the first time in person so many years later.

Lawyer and Lincoln Project troublemaker George Conway explained on Monday that he has the solution to bringing down Donald Trump in 2024: "Make him crazy."

The long-time solution for the Lincoln Project has been to troll "The Donald" on his own airwaves by playing into his insecurities. They've accused him of being a fraud, a dictator, old news, a loser, weak and even implied that he's impotent. Those attacks have drawn some of the harshest words from the former president as he rages on social media.

January 6, 2021, marked a day when Donald Trump "engaged in" insurrection to cling to power, and, therefore, he should be barred from holding office.

Former U.S. appeals court judge and prominent conservative J. Michael Luttig's amicus brief to the Supreme Court leveled a barrage of reasons why former President Donald Trump deserves to be stricken from seeking to become the country's 47th president.

Former President Donald Trump is likely furious at the prospect of losing tens of millions, or perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars, in the civil cases against him, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Monday.

This comes after a jury awarded writer E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in her defamation suit against Trump for denigrating her rape allegation, and as he is set to face more civil damages in upcoming cases.

Alina Habba is again attempting to discredit the judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s disastrous $83 million civil trial, this time claiming his mentorship of E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer is suspicious.

Habba filed Monday a three-page letter decrying Judge Lewis Kaplan’s reported mentorship of Roberta Kaplan, who spearheaded the groundbreaking defamation case against Trump, who denies wrongdoing but was found liable last year for sexually abusing Carroll in the early 1990s.

The New York prosecutor who spearheaded a landmark civil fraud case against Donald Trump’s for-profit school has advice for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

“You cannot let his counterattacks in any way, shape, or form divert you from the mission,” said former assistant state attorney general Tristan Snell.
