New York (AFP) - Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the heart of Donald Trump's hush money case, testified in a rapt Manhattan courtroom Tuesday about a 2006 sexual encounter that precipitated the criminal trial of the former US president. Trump, 77, is charged with falsifying business records to reimburse his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 payment made to Daniels to silence her on the eve of his 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, when the lurid story of marital infidelity could have sunk his campaign. Daniels' testimony is providing a pivotal moment in the courtroom drama rocking the...

New York (AFP) - "The people call Stormy Daniels," said a prosecutor, instantly silencing the packed Manhattan court where Donald Trump is on trial. The adult film star faced off against Trump for the first time, with the former president forced to look on just steps away from the witness stand as she began to testify against him. He stared ahead impassively as Daniels adjusted her hair and put on glasses. Daniels, also known as Stephanie Clifford, wore a black pantsuit and heavy eyeliner as she answered questions from prosecutor Susan Hoffinger seeking to prove Trump covered up payments to he...

Prosecutors say that Trump -- desperate to kill the story before i...

The announcement cements Sanders, who is in a safe seat in Vermont, as the most high-profile Senate progressive as President Joe Biden vies...

Washington (AFP) - Illegal immigration on the US southern border is a top talking point among Republican politicians, but some are taking it a step further by promoting disinformation about non-citizens voting in the presidential election.

AFP has extensively debunked those claims in both English and Spanish, explaining that non-citizens cannot vote in federal elections ...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden took pointed digs at election rival Donald Trump Friday as he awarded the country's top civilian honor to Democratic allies including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and vice president Al Gore. Biden said the veteran Pelosi had "defended democracy" during the January 6, 2021 assault on the US capitol by a mob of Trump supporters enraged by the Republican's election loss a few weeks earlier. Gore meanwhile was "amazing" for accepting his own disputed election loss to George W. Bush in 2000 for the sake of the country, Biden said, drawing a clear contr...
