Former President Trump criticized the judge presiding over his criminal trial for potentially making him miss his son Barron's high school graduation, claiming it's part of a political witch hunt to keep him off the campaign trail. The trial, involving charges of falsifying business records, is expected to coincide with Barron's graduation, and Trump expressed frustration at potentially missing key events, including U.S. Supreme Court arguments. The trial's first day involved motions, jury selection, and indications that unsavory personal events would be brought up, leaving Trump visibly exhausted.

"Trump's NYC 'Hush Money' Trial: Jury Selection and Legal Maneuvers"

Potential jurors for Donald Trump's Manhattan "hush money" trial will not be directly asked about their political leanings, but will be questioned about their affiliations with extremist groups such as QAnon, the Proud Boys, or Antifa. They will also be asked about attending Trump campaign events, following Trump or anti-Trump groups on social media, and their opinions about Trump. Both sides' lawyers won't be able to directly ask about political party affiliation, but it may be inferred from other questions. The trial is expected to take several days, and Trump has argued that he cannot get a fair trial in Democrat-leaning Manhattan.

"Judge Denies Trump's Delay Request, Rejects Immunity Claims in Hush Money Trial"

A judge has rejected Donald Trump's request to delay his Manhattan criminal trial beyond April 15, despite his efforts to push back the trial and secure immunity from prosecution on charges related to his official acts as president. The judge ruled that the trial does not need to wait for the Supreme Court's decision on immunity and confirmed the April 15 start date, dismissing Trump's claims of prosecutorial misconduct. The case stems from a hush-money deal with Stormy Daniels, and Trump's attempts to delay the trial until after the Supreme Court's ruling have been unsuccessful.

"Trump's Legal Woes: Battling Immunity Claims and Advisers' Pleas for Silence"

Donald Trump's lawyers and advisers are urging him to remain quiet during his upcoming criminal trial in Manhattan, fearing that his tendency to create media spectacles could harm his case. The trial, brought by the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, revolves around alleged hush money payments made during Trump's 2016 campaign. With concerns about negative publicity affecting his potential 2024 presidential run, Trump's team is advising him not to testify and to avoid courtroom theatrics. Despite these efforts, it remains uncertain whether Trump will heed their advice or opt for a more subdued approach during the trial.

"NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre Testifies on Lavish Lifestyle and Misconduct Allegations"

Wayne LaPierre, the longtime chief of the National Rifle Association (NRA), testified in a civil corruption case brought against him by the New York attorney general. He claimed to have no knowledge of the significant amounts the NRA was spending on chartered private jets and was accused of using the organization's resources to fund an extravagant lifestyle. Evidence presented in court showed lavish spending on chartered flights, luxury gifts, and personal expenses billed to the NRA. The case also involves two other co-defendants and stems from a 2020 lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general.

Trump's Legal Troubles Loom as GOP Primaries Begin

The trial of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan is set to collide with the start of the GOP presidential primaries, with a hearing scheduled for December 4th. Prosecutors pushed for the trial to start in January, while Trump's defense team requested that it begin “later in the spring” next year. A trial could limit Trump's campaigning in the closing weeks of those races, but it might offer him a substantial megaphone and media attention that would greatly overshadow the campaigning of his chief rivals. Trump's legal team is pushing for a spring start date for the trial, which could suggest he wants to get through the early states before he is on trial.
