"NRA Civil Trial Deliberations Underway"

The civil trial against the NRA and its top officials, including former CEO Wayne LaPierre, is now in deliberations as the New York attorney general's office accuses them of mass corruption and misuse of charitable funds. The attorney general is seeking damages to be paid back to the organization, alleging that the defendants engaged in personal spending on private planes, luxury items, and deals benefiting insiders. The defense argues that the expenses were in the interest of the NRA, while also claiming that the attorney general's pursuit is politically motivated.

"NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre Defends Lavish Lifestyle in Corruption Trial Testimony"

NRA chief Wayne LaPierre defended himself in a New York civil trial against allegations of misusing funds and enriching himself and associates, claiming that luxury vacations he accepted were not considered "gifts." The trial, brought by the New York Attorney General, centers on accusations that LaPierre violated the trust of the NRA's members by spending millions on personal expenses. LaPierre acknowledged taking trips with a business associate who had contracts with the NRA, but denied considering them gifts. The state is seeking to limit the defendants' work for the NRA and New York-based nonprofits and to make them repay funds and forfeit salaries earned while misallocating funds.

Trump Sons Testify in New York Civil Fraud Trial, Ivanka Appeals Judge's Order, and Jimmy Kimmel Reacts to Don Jr's Testimony

Donald Trump's adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, testified in a civil fraud trial in New York, where they sought to distance themselves from the financial records at the center of the case. The lawsuit, filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses the Trump family and their business of inflating the former president's net worth on financial statements to gain better terms. Trump Jr. stated that he trusted the company's accountants and signed the documents based on their expert opinion. Eric Trump acknowledged that the company had financial statements but claimed he did not know they maintained statements about their father's net worth. The trial is expected to continue with further testimony from other Trump family members.

Ivanka Trump Ordered to Testify in $250 Million Fraud Case

A judge has ordered Ivanka Trump to testify in a $250 million civil trial against her father, Donald Trump, and his company. The judge granted her until November 1 to appeal the ruling. Trump's attorneys had challenged the subpoena, arguing that she should be dropped as a defendant due to statute of limitations issues. However, the New York Attorney General's office argued that Ivanka Trump still has relevant information and remains financially and professionally connected to the Trump Organization. Her siblings, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as their father, are also expected to testify in the case. The AG is suing Donald Trump for allegedly inflating his assets in financial statements.

Trump's $250 million fraud trial begins as he dismisses it as a 'scam'

The civil trial against former President Donald Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, has begun in New York. The trial centers around allegations of business fraud, with New York Attorney General Letitia James accusing Trump of inflating the value of his real estate properties to secure better terms from partners. James claims that Trump knowingly misrepresented the values and basic facts of his properties, while Trump's defense argues that the financial statements were an earnest effort to assess the properties' worth. Last week, Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to be stripped of his New York business licenses, potentially leading to the sell-off or transfer of his properties. The trial is expected to last several weeks or months.
