"Trump's Defiance: Challenging Judges and Gag Orders"

Late-night host Stephen Colbert chided former President Donald Trump for ignoring an expanded gag order that now includes a ban on attacking family members of the judge overseeing his criminal trial. Colbert humorously remarked that the order essentially means "think about Trump, then gag." Trump's recent attacks on the judge's daughter led to the expanded order, but he continued to defy it by launching another attack with photos. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel also criticized Trump's actions and questioned the effectiveness of the legal consequences.

Trump's Attempt to Move Criminal Case to Federal Court Denied by Judge

A federal judge in New York indicated that he is likely to deny a request from Donald Trump's lawyers to move a criminal case against the former president to federal court. The case, brought by the Manhattan district attorney's office, involves hush-money payments made before the 2016 presidential election. The judge stated that there is no reason to believe that justice couldn't be served in state court and called one of Trump's lawyers' arguments "far-fetched." If the judge rules as suggested, the case will proceed in state court, where a trial has been scheduled for March 25.

Trump's Virtual Court Appearance Sets March 2024 Trial Date.

The criminal trial of former President Donald Trump has been scheduled for March 25, 2024, with the defense filing any motions by August 29, 2023, and prosecutors responding by October 10, 2023. The charges stem from a hush money payment made to a porn star on his behalf during the 2016 campaign. Trump's lawyers are seeking to move the case to federal court from state court, which is likely a long shot effort. Prosecutors have requested that Trump be prohibited from publicly discussing some evidence against him, such as records of prosecutors' interviews with witnesses.

Trump indictment sparks political turmoil and controversy.

Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to falsifying business records to hide damaging information ahead of the 2016 election. He is the first US president in history to face a criminal trial. Trump claims that the "fake case" is simply part of a Democratic conspiracy to interfere with next year's presidential election, in which he is running. The case against the former president hinges on a hush-money payment of $130,000 made before the 2016 presidential election. While a criminal conviction would not prevent Mr Trump from either running for president or from reclaiming the Oval Office, the prolonged legal fight could prove a major distraction for the Republican front-runner and may add a new layer of turmoil to his party's primary.
