Miami (AFP) - A Florida judge held hearings on Wednesday on bids by former president Donald Trump and his co-defendants to dismiss the charges they face for allegedly mishandling classified documents. The hearings were held in Fort Pierce, Florida, before District Judge Aileen Cannon, who has indefinitely postponed Trump's criminal trial in the case. Lawyers for Trump, who is seeking to recapture the White House in November, and his co-defendants -- his valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira -- have filed multiple motions seeking to have the case thrown out.

Washington (AFP) - Former presidential hopeful Nikki Haley said Wednesday she will vote for Donald Trump in the US election, but said her one-time bitter rival would have to work to win over her moderate support base as he faces President Joe Biden in November. The former South Carolina governor, 52, abandoned her White House ambitions in March after suffering several heavy defeats in primary contests -- and had not previously indicated whether she would support the man who referred to her repeatedly as "birdbrain." Despite having made withering criticism of the scandal-plagued ex-president, H...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump drew disbelief -- and some support -- Wednesday after suggesting that standard language from an FBI search warrant executed in 2022 on his Florida mansion showed that President Joe Biden wanted armed agents to shoot him. Trump's latest incendiary claim was in response to a court filing outlining plans for the FBI search at the Mar-a-Lago club, where he kept classified national security documents after leaving the White House. The filing included standard FBI wording stating that agents are allowed to use deadly force if someone is in imminent danger. But Trump, ...

Miami (AFP) - Une juge de Floride (sud-est) n'a pas pris de décision mercredi après une audience consacrée à une nouvelle demande des avocats de Donald Trump d'abandonner les charges pesant contre l'ancien président américain dans l'affaire de sa présumée gestion négligente de documents secrets. Donald Trump, 77 ans, qui est actuellement jugé à New York dans une autre affaire pénale, pour des paiements dissimulés à une ancienne vedette de films X affirmant avoir eu une relation sexuelle avec lui, n'était pas présent à l'audience à Fort Pierce. Le candidat républicain à la présidentielle de nov...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump's social media account on Tuesday removed a video showing fake headlines about a "unified reich" if he wins the 2024 US election, as President Joe Biden accused his election rival of using "Hitler's language." Trump's campaign blamed an inattentive staffer for reposting the 30-second clip, which flashed a series of fictitious news stories painting a picture of American prosperity, with one including the term normally associated with Nazi Germany. Biden branded the staffer story a "lame" excuse and launched a full-court press over the latest friction point betwee...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump on Tuesday walked back remarks that he was open to restrictions on contraception, after an outcry that underlined his presidential campaign's vulnerability on reproductive rights issues. "I have never, and will never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control, or other contraceptives," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, using all caps. "I do not support a ban on birth control, and neither will the Republican Party!" Trump's post appeared to dial down an earlier comment that he was "looking at" the issue, and is the latest case of the former presiden...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's defense lawyers rested their case Tuesday -- without the former president following through on a vow to testify -- as the judge scheduled jury deliberations in the historic criminal trial for next week. The trial has not been televised due to New York law, and experts are divided on whether the five weeks in court, more than 20 witnesses and often salacious testimony have damaged Trump politically. But the looming verdict represents a moment of peril for Trump, less than six months before election day when he hopes to oust President Joe Biden and return to the W...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and 10 others denied charges in Arizona on Tuesday that they were involved in a plot to subvert the 2020 presidential election won by Joe Biden. Giuliani, who appeared by video link, was ordered to post a $10,000 surety after spending weeks evading efforts to serve him with a summons and even taunting prosecutors on social media. He was finally served on Friday night in Florida at a party being thrown in honor of his 80th birthday, CNN reported. The indictment says former New York mayor Giuliani spread misinformation about...

Washington (AFP) - He still refuses to acknowledge his defeat four years ago, so it is no great surprise that Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to contest another election if he loses again. But the stream of ambitious Republicans joining him in declining to commit to the outcome is raising concerns of a repeat of the chaos around 2020 as America prepares for a rematch between Trump and Joe Biden in November. Many have designs on the vice president's job, including Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who told NBC on Sunday he would not accept an "unfair" election and accused Democrats of having ...

New York (AFP) - After approximately five weeks, 19 witnesses, reams of documents and a dash of salacious testimony, the prosecution against Donald Trump rested its case Monday, handing over to the defense before closing arguments expected next week. Trump's team immediately sought to undermine key testimony against the former president, who is accused of covering up hush money paid to a porn star over an alleged encounter that could have derailed his successful 2016 White House bid. His attorneys called lawyer Robert Costello -- who once advised star prosecution witness Michael Cohen before f...
