A third term in the White House may be on former President Donald Trump‘s radar if he is reelected this year. At the National Rifle Association annual meeting in Dallas this weekend, Trump threw out the idea in his speech.
“You know, Fdr 16 years—almost 16 years—he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?” Trump said on Saturday. A person in the crowd responded to Trump, saying, “Three.”
During his 2020 presidential campaign bid, Trump also mentioned serving in office for three terms multiple times. However, Trump seemed to retract this idea in an interview in April, saying, “I wouldn’t be in favor of it at all. I intend to serve four years and do a great job.”
If Trump is reelected this year, it is unclear how serious he is about prolonging his stay in office. The 22nd Amendment,...

Ross Matthews wasn’t three words into his opening monologue at the 35th annual GLAAD Awards in New York City Saturday evening when a protester stood up from the audience to shout, “GLAAD is complicit in genocide.” The lone pro-Palestine advocate, blanketed by a wide-eyed room who let out a few jeers — “Who are you, you weirdo?” one donor shouted — was slowly, if not ceremoniously escorted from the room before she gave a final jab: “And so are all of you.”
“Thank you for your free speech. I’m so glad you have freedom,” Matthews, the evening’s host, said from the stage in an awkward attempt to recognize the protester. “Well, that was uncomfy for all of us, but we have to fight for everyone’s rights. Thank you for my opener,” he moved on, back on his feet.

Eric Trump suggested that Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama would be prosecuted if the Supreme Court decides that presidents are not immune to criminal prosecution.
“The Supreme Court is now weighing this monumental case on whether or not president [Donald] Trump has immunity from prosecution,” host Maria Bartiromo told Eric during an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.
“We saw some of the hearing this week,” Bartiromo stated in reference to last week’s oral arguments, during which the high court considered Trump’s claim that his official acts should not be subject to federal prosecution. “It felt like listening to some of those Supreme Court justices—that they were willing to admit to some or acknowledge some immunity.”
She asked Eric, “What did you take away from what you heard from the Supreme Court this week, and when do you expect a decision?”

Updated with jury selection info: When networks and other news outlets descend on the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse today for opening statements in Donald Trump’s latest trial, much will be made of the fact that this is a moment like no other: A former president, before a jury, facing criminal proceedings.
The case itself has been referred to as the “hush money” case or the “Stormy Daniels case,” far sexier titles than the underlying issues involved: Falsification of business records.
That isn’t to say there hasn’t been drama, as Trump’s relentless attacks on the judge and his family members, along with potential witnesses, signaled raucous moments in the courtroom, just as was seen as he faced civil proceedings in cases brought by writer E. Jean Carroll and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Former President Donald Trump is facing backlash on social media for spending Easter Sunday attacking his rivals in 71 posts on Truth Social.
On March 31, Trump criticized his political enemies and shared press coverage about him on Truth Social.
His Truth Social feed on Sunday included derogatory material regarding Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin), who is scheduled to retire from the House in April.
In another post, he shared an article criticizing President Joe Biden‘s economic policies and also shared polls suggesting that he will win the 2024 presidential election.
In another, he attacked the two main figures involved in his civil fraud trial.
“Judge [Arthur] Engoron and [New York Attorney General] Letitia James should be forced to explain why he ruled that Mar-a-Lago was worth $18,000,000 when, in fact, it is worth from 50 to 100 times that amount,” the former president wrote in a post. “How did the Attorney General of the State of New York force this...

Reality television star Caitlyn Jenner has come out in support of a New York county’s ban on transgender female athletes.
Jenner, a transwoman, came out to the public in April 2015.
Jenner is also a former Olympic gold medalist, who won the men’s decathlon competition at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Canada.
Last week, Jenner supported the ban on trans athletes during a press conference alongside Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman in Mineola.
The ban would prevent transgender athletes on female sports teams from using county-owned facilities. It applies to over 100 athletic facilities in New York City’s Long Island suburbs, including ballfields, basketball and tennis courts, swimming pools and ice rinks.
The ban does not apply to trans men, only trans women.
She said that having trans women compete would “ruin women’s sports” in the future.
“Let’s stop it now while we can,” she urged people.

Update: Donald Trump has secured a $175 million bond as his appeals a New York civil fraud judgment against himself, family members and his business empire.
According to a filing tonight. the bond came from the Knight Specialty Insurance Company in Los Angeles.
Trump’s move will prevent New York Attorney General Letitia James from seizing his assets. He originally was required to pay the $464 judgement against him in the civil fraud case, but an appeals court last week gave him 10 more days to post a reduced amount.
Last month, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump and his companies owed $464 million after earlier concluding that he had engaged in fraud by overstating the value of assets to secure more favorable terms from lenders. His ruling also restricted his ability to do business in the state.

Retired Judge Barbara Jones, who was appointed last November as the independent financial monitor of the Trump Organization, has been given sweeping new powers to run the troubled company, much to its lawyers’ chagrin.
After Judge Arthur Engoron‘s ruling last month, Jones, a former mob prosecutor, is effectively running the company after Trump and his sons Eric and Don Jr. were barred from running companies in New York for a fixed period.
The judge ordered Trump and his company to pay $355 million in restitution for decades of business fraud.
The company is now appealing the bans and fines.
Jones was assigned to serve as the Trump Organization’s independent monitor by Judge Engoron at the recommendation made by New York Attorney General Letitia James in September 2023.
Trump’s lawyers have quickly turned on Jones as she has amassed ever-greater power over the company.

Allies of Donald Trump and powerful conservative organizations are preparing to launch an offensive against “anti-white racism” should the former president retake the White House in November. According to a report from Axios, those in Trump’s orbit are gearing up for a widespread re-interpretation of civil rights laws to combat what they perceive as reverse racism against white Americans.
According to the report, this would include a mass gutting of government programs and diversity initiatives. “As President Trump has said, all staff, offices, and initiatives connected to Biden’s...

The White House has called out former President Donald Trump for sharing a video featuring a grim image of President Joe Biden.
Trump posted the video while he was returning from the wake of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller who was killed this week. The video shows the back of a pickup truck with an image of Biden with his hands and feet tied. The truck also includes several pro-Trump images, including a sticker that says “Trump 2024” and a custom license plate of “TRUMP4US.” Other cars with pro-Trump imagery were also seen driving down the highway.
The Biden campaign condemned Trump for suggesting harm and violence against the current president. A spokesperson for Biden’s campaign, Michael Tyler, said, “Trump is regularly inciting political violence, and it’s time people take him seriously—just ask the Capitol Police officers who were attacked for protecting our democracy on Jan.

Jon Stewart’s weekly slot behind the Daily Show desk on Monday saw the host eviscerate Canadian mogul and Shark Tank judge Kevin O’Leary for comments he made indicating that Donald Trump and his company were unfairly targeted by New York state, which issued a punishing penalty against the former president in a civil fraud case.
Following the harsh judgment leveled by Judge Arthur Engoron in the case led by New York Attorney General Leticia James, Trump had been staring down a Monday deadline to raise enough cash to pay a $454 million bond. But on Monday, that figure was reduced at the eleventh hour by the state’s appellate court, and now Trump and his associates must fork over $175 million within 10 days of the ruling.

Deprived of the eagerly awaited spectacle of New York Attorney General Letitia James seizing Trump’s properties for non-payment on Monday, hosts at least got to watch as Trump arrived in the city for his other legal entanglement, as he faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business documents to cover up his affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.

On Monday, amidst his numerous trials, Donald Trump compared himself to Jesus Christ on social media.
Trump was in a Manhattan court on Monday for the hush money trial that grew out of payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels who had an alleged affair with him. At the time of the affair, Trump’s then-attorney Michael Cohen paid Daniels to stay quiet before Trump’s 2016 presidential election.
Trump also faces a $454 million fine for the civil fraud case brought on by Attorney General Letitia James. Judge Arthur Engoron gave Trump 30 days from the official order to pay the bond, with March 25 as the deadline, or have his assets seized.
With Trump unable to pay the bond on time, James has already begun the process for seizing his properties.

She’s already started preparing to so.

Former President Donald Trump said he has almost $500 million in cash after Trump’s lawyers said he did not have enough funds to pay a $464 million bond. The bond was part of Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling for the civil fraud case brought against Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Thirty bond organizations previously rejected Trump and his team after Engoron gave him 30 days to pay from the official order.
Trump’s assets risked being seized if he does not come up the $464 million by Monday.
In February, James said she was ready to seize his assets if he does not pay on time and stated her office’s determination to collect the fine from Trump.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump wrote in all caps, “Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which...

With a payment deadline of March 25 days away, former President Donald Trump has yet to come up with the $464 million bond he will need to pay. In the civil fraud case brought on by New York Attorney General Letitia James, Trump was found guilty of fraud, including wildly inflating the values of his properties including Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower in order to obtain lower interest rates and better terms.
As part of the ruling, Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay $464 million within a 30-day timeframe. To secure the money, Trump and his team reached out to 30 surety firms but were denied each time. Trump has stated he will appeal the case.
With only days left until March 25, James is preparing to seize Trump’s properties, including his New York two estates. Court documents show that James has already filed the necessary paperwork to seize two New York properties.

Once upon a time, long before he set his sights on the White House, Donald Trump leveraged his massive real estate empire into a braggadocious reality TV show called The Apprentice. The show’s bombastic theme song sang “money, money, money, money,” at viewers over shots of Trump’s New York properties, private planes, and helicopters. Now, two decades after the show first premiered, the former president is begging his followers to fork over cash in order to preserve the assets on which he built his throne.

Former President Donald Trump risks having his assets seized as soon as next after he failed to secure a $454 million bond for a civil fraud case.
In a court filing on Monday morning, the former president’s lawyers said 30 surety companies have already rejected him. Trump’s children and Trump Organization executives have attempted to aid him to no avail.
The ruling by Judge Arthur Engoron gives Trump 30 days to pay from Engoron’s formal entry of the order. Trump’s 30 days end on March 25.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought on the lawsuit against Trump, said she’s ready to seize his assets if he cannot pay. Trump’s civil fraud case includes inflating the value of numerous assets and properties including his Mar-a-Lago resort and Trump Tower penthouse.

Attorneys for Donald Trump said that they have been unable to secure a bond as they appeal his $464 million civil fraud judgment.
In a filing to the New York appeals court, his lawyers wrote that the amount of the judgment, along with interest, is of such a sum that “few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude.”
“The practical impossibility of obtaining a bond interferes with Defendants’ right to appeal and threatens this Court’s appellate jurisdiction,” Trump’s legal team argued in the filing.
Trump’s team is asking for a stay, something that would at least temporarily prevent Attorney General Letitia James from collecting the sum.
Trump’s attorneys said that they had approached about 30 surety companies through four separate brokers. They wrote that obtaining the appeal bond in the full amount was “not possible under the circumstances presented.”

On Friday morning, former President Donald Trump posted a $91.6 million bond for the $83.3 million civil defamation judgment in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll. The higher amount was required due to interest payments owed by Trump.
The bond was issued by Federal Insurance Company, a division of Chubb, which required extensive collateral, likely including mostly cast assets.
On Thursday, Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Trump’s request for a delay, ruling that Trump must either pay Carroll by Monday or provide a bond or assets as collateral while he appeals the jury’s verdict from January, which found him guilty of defaming Carroll after she accused him of rape in 2019.
This civil judgment is just one of three financial obligations Trump faces, with a total of $540 million owed to the New York attorney general and Carroll.

In a recent court filing, former President Donald Trump expressed concerns about his financial situation as he prepares to appeal a $454 million civil fraud verdict imposed by the state of New York. With limited options at his disposal, the former president must either pay the full judgment by March 25 or secure a bond worth at least 110% of the amount to temporarily suspend the fine during the appeals process.
However, obtaining an appeal bond requires cash, selling properties (or using them as collateral), which would tie up a substantial portion, if not all, of his liquid assets for an extended period.
The Trump Organization owns or invests in multiple office towers from New York to San Francisco. 40 Wall Street, one of the key properties, was purchased by Trump in 1995 and is what his business hails as “one of the great real estate deals of all time.” In 2015, it was valued at $540 million.

Author and advice columnist E. Jean Carroll has raised significant suspicions about her ability to collect the $83 million judgment awarded to her in a defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump.
Last month the federal jury in New York awarded Carroll the $83.3 million after Trump was found guilty of defamation for denying her sexual assault allegations when she came forward publicly in 2019. Trump has consistently denied Carroll’s claims with the assertion that she fabricated the story to promote her book.
Trump recently proposed posting a $100 million bond in the fraud case in the appeals process, with the claim that the exorbitant judgment made it impossible to secure a bond for the full amount.
However, a New York judge ruled that enforcement of the multimillion-dollar judgment would only be paused if Trump could post a complete bond. If Trump fails to post the full judgment, New York Attorney General Letitia James...

New York’s top law enforcement officer has launched an investigation into a massive wireless network outage that left AT&T customers unable to use their mobile devices last month.
On Thursday, New York State Attorney General Letitia James said her office has opened a probe into the cause of the outage as well as AT&T’s response to the issue.

In response to the $454 million penalty levied against Donald Trump in his New York civil fraud case, the former president offered to pay a $100 million bond — less than a quarter of what he owes.
In a court filing Wednesday, attorneys for Trump called the $454 million an “unprecedented and unconstitutional sum” coupled with the “draconian injunctive relief” for the payment. His attorneys requested an emergency stay on the court’s payment until his team has finished appealing the ruling.

Wayne Lapierre, former CEO of the National Rifle Association (NRA), was found liable by a jury for corruption on Friday.
Lapierre, 74, was the CEO of the NRA for 30 years until his resignation at the end of January 2024.
In February, Lapierre faced a corruption trial for the mismanagement and misspending of the NRA’s funds. New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) brought the case against Lapierre and other NRA executives.
Lapierre was found guilty of using NRA funds on personal luxuries. The jury found that he must repay the NRA $5.4 million. Lapierre has already repaid $1 million of that amount.
Lapierre used NRA funds for luxury clothing boutiques in Beverly Hills and travel expenses to the Bahamas and Europe. Funds also went to a personal stylist for Lapierre’s wife, Susan Lapierre.
As a nonprofit organization, the jury also found the NRA responsible for violating their duties and failing to manage their finances.

Donald Trump filed a notice of appeal of a New York judge’s $464 million civil fraud judgment, as he grapples with an order that found him and his businesses liable for overstating their assets to get more favorable loan terms.
The notice was filed today, after Judge Arthur Engoron made his decision official last week. Engoron also restricted the ability of the Trump organization to do business in the state.
The question is now whether Trump can post a bond as he pursues an appeal. Engoron’s notice on Friday started a 30-day window for Trump to pay or to seek some type of relief sidelining that sum as he and his lawyers try to overturn the verdict.
The lawsuit was brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who posted on X/Twitter on Sunday: “+$114,553.04 = $464,805,336.70” The $114,553.04 figure is the amount in interest being added to the total for each...

Update, 3:57Pm: Donald Trump is going to have to sell a lot of Mar-a-Lago memberships to meet his debt to the state of New York.
With a final judgment officially entered today into the court docket on the now-$454 million fine the former president and family owe from his civil fraud trial, Team Trump is looking at interest of $114,554 a day.
“This judgment shall bear interest from the date of its entry at the statutory rate of 9% per annum,” wrote NY Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron yesterday in the document made public today (read it here).
Breaking it down, that’s $111,984 every 24 hours for the ex-Celebrity Apprentice host himself. The sum is based on the total judgment delivered by Judge Engoron of $354.9 million plus the $100 million already accrued in pre-judgment interest for the financial sleight-of-hand Trump, his sons and executives engaged in for decades with banks and more for favorable loans.

In the latest development of Donald Trump‘s legal battles, New York Attorney General Letitia James declared that her office is ready to seize Trump’s buildings if he fails to pay the $354 million fine imposed by a judge in his civil fraud case on time.
In conversation with ABC News’ Aaron Katersky, James emphasized that if Trump cannot cover the judgment, her office will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court and request the seizure of his assets.
Judge Arthur Engoron ruled last week that Trump must pay $354.8 million, along with approximately $100 million in pre-judgment interest, after it was found that he had inflated his net worth to obtain more favorable loan terms.
Trump has continuously denied any wrongdoing and plans to appeal the ruling.

It’s Presidents’ Day, and America’s 45th is having a real one.
Donald Trump spent the morning of the Monday holiday railing against the nearly half-billion-dollar court judgment levied against him for fraud in New York state, and grotesquely comparing himself to the Russian political dissident Alexei Navalny, who died last week in an Russian arctic penal colony.
Trump started shitposting not long after dawn on his Truth Social network. Stinging from his massive court defeat, Trump seemed determined to keep litigating his fraud case in the court of public opinion.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the last remaining Republican presidential candidate running against former President Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, warned that Trump could use the Republican National Committee (RNC) as a “piggy bank” to pay for his mounting legal fees.
“My biggest issue is, I don’t want the RNC to become his legal defense fund,” she told CNN.
Haley’s comments came just hours after New York Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay $355 million in fines for defrauding banks and insurance companies by overstating his net worth.
New York Attorney General Leticia James brought this case and alleged that Trump had falsified financial documents to obtain loans.

New legal documents made public Friday by the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission indicate former CBS President and CEO Leslie Moonves has paid an $11,250 fine for trying to influence a former LAPD captain.
NBC4 reports that in 2017, an L.A. police captain was leaking confidential information about a criminal investigation on Moonves. The top CBS executive had been accused of sexually assaulting a former employee.
Earlier this month, Moonves agreed to pay the $11,250 fine for violating the city’s ethics code by “inducing” a city official to misuse his position in order to create an advantage for Moonves.
The former LAPD captain, Corey Palka, personally provided Moonves with information about the LAPD investigation and the former Moonves employee who made the accusation. Palka was the commanding officer of the Hollywood Division in 2017.
The Ethics Commission said Palka met with Moonves on November 25, 2017 at a restaurant in Westlake Village to share confidential information.

In a significant legal blow to former President Donald Trump‘s business empire, New York Judge Arthur Engoron has ordered the former president to pay a staggering $355 million in penalties in a civil fraud case.
Engoron’s decision, outlined in a comprehensive 92-page ruling, comes after a months-long trial and marks a significant setback for Trump and his associates.
The case was brought forth by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) in 2022 and alleged that Trump had manipulated his net worth on important financial statements to secure tax and insurance benefits falsely. These documents, which were used to obtain loans and deals by presenting the value of the Trump Organization’s assets, form the basis of the state’s claim of fraud. Engoron had already found Trump, the Trump Organization and several high-ranking executives, which included his adult sons, liable for fraud before the trial even began.

According to new findings from a financial monitor, former President Donald Trump did not disclose payments of more than $40 million to himself, undervalued the annual management costs of the Trump building by $1.6 million and waited eight months to disclose the dissolution of some of his companies.
The report was submitted by retired federal judge Barbara Jones, who is monitoring Trump’s companies during his Manhattan trial. Jones delivered the news to Judge Arthur Engoron, who will decide this month how much in penalties to impose on Trump for fraudulent asset evaluation.
Engoron issued a partial summary judgment in the case in September, ruling that Trump and executives at the Trump Organization committed fraud. New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $370 million of the profits that the former president made.

In 2023, Donald Trump‘s super PACs spent $50 million in donor funds on legal expenses.
Trump spent the money after being criminally indicted in his failed effort to overturn the election and misuse of classified documents. He also faces defamation and civil fraud cases in civil courts.
The former president began raising millions of donations to him after he lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump pushed false claims of voter fraud to encourage his supporters to donate after his loss, attempts which have since become crucial to two of the indictments filed against him.
Save America, a Trump Pac which previously had over $100 million in the bank, almost went broke last year under the crush of legal fees.

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) used a new appeals court ruling made against infamous pharma fraudster Martin Shkreli to support her bid to ban former President Donald Trump from New York’s real estate industry.
In a filing last week, James’ office told Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over Trump’s civil business fraud trial, about the new appeals court ruling against Shkreli.
In this ruling, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower New York federal court’s order.
The order banned Shkreli for life from the pharmaceuticals industry due to his attempts to block competition for a drug, which he increased the price of by over 4,000% overnight in 2015.
Through his efforts, Shkreli raised the price of the antiparasitic drug Daraprim from $17.50 to $750 per tablet.
