hour, Donald Trump suggested the
United States should default on its debts
for the first time in history, injected

rioters convicted of crimes, and refused to
say he would abide by the results of the
next presidential election.”

found former President Donald Trump
liable for battery and defamation in the
lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll,
who says he raped her in a Manhattan
department store in the mid-1990s. The nine
jurors, who deliberated for barely three
hours before reaching their unanimous
conclusion, did not find that Trump raped
Carroll. But they agreed that he "sexually
abused" her and that he defamed her when he
denied her story. "

Donald J. Trump repeatedly and
fraudulently falsified New York business

the indictment from D.A. Alvin Bragg today
after an arraignment of Trump. During and in
furtherance of his candidacy for President,
