Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump has turned being a victim into a central plank of his campaign, an electoral strategy that will be put to the test Monday in Manhattan during the first ever criminal trial of a former US president. The 77-year-old Republican candidate has repeatedly denounced the numerous legal actions against him as political witch hunts brought by Democrats to derail his chances of recapturing the White House in November. Every day for months his campaign has sent supporters nearly a dozen emails and texts written in the billionaire's name, placing foremost emphasis on the cri...

New York (AFP) - He was the face of cryptocurrency, and a young one at that -- a media darling seemingly destined to unite the sector. But the stunning rise of Sam Bankman-Fried and his FTX platform would be matched by an equally spectacular fall when it was revealed that billions of dollars of clients' funds had been moved and spent without their consent. After a jury in 2023 found him guilty of seven counts, a federal judge in New York sentenced Bankman-Fried on Thursday to 25 years for leading the fraudulent scheme. Before it all came crashing down, the native Californian had amassed a fort...

Washington (AFP) - If the US Supreme Court, which on Tuesday hears a sensitive case on the availability of abortion pills, ultimately decides to restrict their access, it will impinge on the scientific authority of the federal Food and Drug Administration in unprecedented and consequential ways. While the case specifically deals with access to mifepristone -- the first of two pills taken in medication abortions -- a broad ruling could threaten access to a number of other drugs used for a wide variety of conditions, experts tell AFP. The mifepristone pill, first authorized by the FDA in 2000, ...

The Crumbleys, the first parents of a school shooter to face felony manslaughter charges in the United States for the actions of their child, were accused of ignoring warnin...

New York (AFP) - Prosecutors unexpectedly dropped charges Wednesday against three antique collectors accused of handling stolen lyrics for 1970s hit "Hotel California" and other tracks by rock group the Eagles. The trial began in New York in February with veteran frontman Don Henley as a key witness and was centered on handwritten, draft lyrics allegedly stolen from the band in the 1970s. However, closing the case on Wednesday morning, a judge said that a new 6,000-page cache of emails -- previously not disclosed to the court -- cast doubt over the prosecution. Judge Curtis Farber said Henley ...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's sexual assault defamation trial in New York will resume on Thursday, two days after the Republican primaries in New Hampshire, with the former US president expected to testify. Writer Jean Carroll, 80, is seeking more than $10 million alleging that the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination defamed her when he mocked her sexual assault accusations by saying she "is not my type." The jury will decide only how much Trump should be forced to pay her. The trial is separate from a case last year where another New York jury found Trump, 77, liable for...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump went straight from his victory in the Republican Iowa caucuses to a New York courtroom Tuesday for the start of a defamation trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll after an earlier jury found he had sexually assaulted her in the 1990s. In court, the former US president did not make any statements, and he and Carroll avoided looking at each other while jurors were being selected, according to reporters allowed inside the courtroom. But Trump continued attacking Carroll on his Truth Social platform, reposting a clip from an interview she gave to CNN and writing, "C...

New York (AFP) - An appeals court on Thursday reimposed a limited gag order on former president Donald Trump intended to protect court staff at his New York civil fraud trial after a flood of online abuse. Judge Arthur Engoron had slapped the gag order on Trump on October 3 after he insulted the judge's principal law clerk in a post on his Truth Social platform. Trump's attorneys appealed the order claiming it violated his right to free speech and it had been suspended pending a hearing. The appeals court panel on Thursday rejected Trump's appeal and reimposed the speech restrictions. "On a da...
