New York (AFP) - Stormy Daniels returned to the witness stand on Thursday at Donald Trump's historic hush money trial for another round of tough grilling by attorneys for the former president. The X-rated film actress, who claims to have had sex with the married Trump in 2006, spent nearly five hours testifying on Tuesday, recounting the incident in often explicit detail as the mogul glared steps away. Trump, 77, is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 payment to Daniels on the eve of the 2016 presidential election, when the story could ...

Washington (AFP) - Democrats voted to rescue the Republican leader of the US House of Representatives on Wednesday after a right-wing lawmaker moved to topple him, plunging the already-divided party into fresh conflict ahead of November's elections. Under House rules, any single lawmaker can force a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene finally pulled the trigger more than six weeks after filing a "motion to vacate" his position atop the Republican majority. The Georgia conservative was booed by colleagues as she formally announced the effort on the House floor, reeling...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump will refuse to accept the results if he loses the US election this year, Joe Biden said Wednesday. The two men, who fought for the White House in 2020, are set for a rematch in November that polls show the American public is unenthusiastic about. In an interview with CNN, Biden raised the prospect of Trump not accepting the outcome of the ballot. "I promise you he won't, which is dangerous." Trump still insists -- without foundation -- that he won the 2020 election, despite losing repeated legal challenges. "How many court cases did they have? Supreme Court cas...

Washington (AFP) - Independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr believed he may have been attacked by a worm that ate part of his brain and then died inside his head, US media reported on Wednesday. Kennedy, 70, made the claim in a 2012 deposition as part of his divorce from his second wife, according to the New York Times, which said the scion of the storied political clan reported severe memory loss and mental fog. A New York surgeon who reviewed his brain scans told Kennedy his health issues could have been "caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and t...

New York (AFP) - It was the courtroom face-off everyone was waiting for -- testimony of high legal importance, and salacious sexual content. Donald Trump, the former US president who has always prided himself on being in charge and in control, was forced to sit and listen to a porn star describe in open court a bedroom encounter that he denies ever took place. "When I opened the bathroom door to come out, Mr. Trump had come into the bedroom," Stormy Daniels told the New York court. "The intention was pretty clear, someone stripped down to their underwear posing on the bed waiting for you." Tru...

New York (AFP) - Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the heart of Donald Trump's historic criminal trial, testified Tuesday -– in sometimes explicit detail –- about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with the former president in a hotel penthouse suite. Trump, 77, is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels on the eve of his 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, when the lurid story of marital infidelity could have sunk his campaign. "The people call Stormy Daniels," prosecutor Susan Hoffinger said as Trump, who is ...

Miami (AFP) - A Florida judge on Tuesday indefinitely postponed Donald Trump's criminal trial over his alleged mishandling of classified documents, making it unlikely the case will be heard before the November presidential election. The former president had been scheduled to go on trial on May 20 but District Judge Aileen Cannon said that was not possible because of the number of pre-trial motions before the court. Cannon, a Trump appointee, did not set a new date for the start of the federal trial. The postponement is a major setback for special counsel Jack Smith, who brought the charges aga...

By Gregory WALTON New York (AFP) - "Stormy Daniels est appelée à la barre", lance une procureure. Aussitôt, le silence s'installe dans le tribunal new-yorkais bondé où l'ancien président américain Donald Trump est jugé. Mardi, l'ex-actrice de films porno a fait face au candidat des républicains à la présidentielle de novembre, assis à quelques pas d'elle. Visage impassible, il a regardé droit devant lui pendant que Stephanie Clifford, de son vrai nom, remettait ses cheveux en place et mettait des lunettes. C'est la procureure Susan Hoffinger qui a interrogé la quadragénaire sur l'affaire qui v...

New York (AFP) - Stormy Daniels, the porn actress at the heart of Donald Trump's hush money trial, was due to testify against the ex-president Tuesday, US media said, in a blockbuster moment in the courtroom drama rocking the scandal-plagued Republican's attempt to recapture the White House. Daniels, a longtime actor and director in the adult film industry, says she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006 and was then paid to keep quiet about it to avoid a final-hour upset of his 2016 election victory against Hillary Clinton. Prosecutors say that Trump -- desperate to kill the story before i...
