New York AG Targets Trump for $370M in Civil Fraud Case

Donald Trump's narrative of business acumen is under threat as his company faces a New York fraud trial, with a judge already ruling that Trump committed fraud. The trial has scrutinized the Trump Organization's financial practices, and Trump's defense has largely relied on arguments previously dismissed by the judge. The company risks losing its New York licenses and a hefty fine, which could significantly impact Trump's real estate operations. The trial's outcome could not only affect Trump's business empire but also his political future, as he leads in Republican polls for the 2024 election despite the legal challenges.

"Kim Davis Ordered to Pay Over $250K for Gay Marriage License Case Fees"

Former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who gained notoriety for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has been ordered by a federal judge to pay over $360,000 in legal fees and damages. This ruling comes after Davis was found to have violated the constitutional rights of gay couples following the 2015 Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Despite her claims of qualified immunity based on religious beliefs, the court ruled against her, and her legal team plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Davis lost her clerk position in the 2018 election.
