"Trump's Legal Maneuvers Challenged Amid Outbursts Against Judge and Family"

Donald Trump faced setbacks in his legal battles as judges refused his attempts to delay or dismiss cases, leading to a backlash from the former president who attacked a judge's daughter on social media. The judge overseeing Trump's criminal trial in New York expanded a gag order, prompting Trump to motion for the judge's recusal, citing a conflict of interest related to the judge's daughter's work. Another judge rejected Trump's attempt to dismiss a case alleging mishandling of classified documents, setting the stage for a clash with the Department of Justice. Trump has sought to delay his prosecutions ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

"Eric Trump Concerned as Deadline Nears for Trump's $454 Million Fraud Judgment"

Former President Donald Trump faces the risk of New York's attorney general beginning to collect a $454 million civil business fraud judgment against him on Monday, with his son Eric accusing the AG of trying to bankrupt his father.

Trump has been raging on social media, falsely attacking President Joe Biden and demanding that all trials, including "local" prosecutions like the one brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, be "HALTED."

"Trump's Legal Battles: The $500 Million Financial Setback"

Donald Trump faces legal obligations exceeding $500m after a civil fraud trial defeat, with questions arising about his ability to pay. Trump remains defiant, vowing to win an appeal against the ruling. His legal debts, including interest, are estimated at about $542m. Speculation arises about using campaign cash from the Republican National Committee to pay off some of the debt. Trump's net worth is estimated at $2.3bn, but it's unclear how much cash he has on hand. The ruling also makes it difficult for any family member to run the Trump Organization in the near future.

"Trump's Financial Future Hangs in the Balance with Pending Verdicts and Potential Debt"

Donald Trump faces potential financial setbacks as he was ordered to pay $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for defamation and awaits a verdict in a New York civil fraud trial seeking the return of $370 million in "illegal profits." Trump's financial status remains opaque, but he claims to have over $400 million in cash. The potential $450 million in damages could significantly impact his wealth, which is mostly tied up in real estate. Trump's legal troubles have led to mounting legal bills, and while he has raised millions in campaign funds, he may not be able to use them to pay for personal damages.

"Federal Judge to Rule on Constitutionality of Georgia's Election System Amid Security Trial"

Allies of former President Donald Trump, including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, are attempting to use a federal case in Georgia concerning election security to support the baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen. The case, Curling v. Raffensperger, involves plaintiffs arguing that Georgia's voting machines are vulnerable to security risks, a claim backed by cybersecurity experts. While the plaintiffs do not allege that these vulnerabilities were exploited in past elections, Trump allies are poised to use any ruling affirming these vulnerabilities to cast doubt on election integrity. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger defends the machines' security, and the trial is expected to last several weeks, with potential implications for the 2024 election cycle.
