NEW YORK — Donald Trump fought mightily before and after he was elected president to keep secret the embarrassing details of his private life, but often failed despite having a fat checkbook and a well-connected tabloid editor in his pocket, according to the first week of evidence at his trial.

The Supreme Court on Thursday appeared ready to reject Donald Trump’s sweeping claim that he is immune from prosecution on charges of trying to subvert the 2020 election, but in a way that is likely to significantly delay his stalled federal trial in the nation’s capital. In nearly three hours of oral argument, both conservative and liberal justices grappled with ...

The New York appeals court’s stunning decision Thursday to overturn Harvey Weinstein’s sex-crimes conviction landed during the second week of Donald Trump’s ongoing criminal trial — and will undoubtedly be closely examined by the judge overseeing the Trump trial, according to legal experts.

Four years to the day before rioters loyal to Donald Trump stormed into the Capitol to keep Congress from finalizing his loss in the 2020 presidential election, Congress met in the Capitol to finalize his 2016 victory.
