Trump's $250M fraud trial in NY faces judge's decision

Attorneys for Donald Trump and his co-defendants are set to appear in court for a pre-trial conference regarding the New York attorney general's $250 million fraud lawsuit. The judge will hear arguments on a motion for summary judgment, with Trump's defense claiming a lack of evidence and seeking a decision before trial. The trial is scheduled to begin on October 2 but may be delayed if a state appeals court upholds Trump's legal challenge against the judge.

Fox News faces scrutiny over Dominion lawsuit and workplace behavior.

A Delaware judge expressed skepticism towards some of Fox News' arguments in Dominion Voting System's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the network. The judge seemed particularly doubtful of Fox's claims that its hosts were merely voicing opinions, not asserting false facts, when they suggested to viewers that Dominion may have manufactured fraudulent votes for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. The judge did not issue any rulings by the end of the hearing and will take the arguments up again Wednesday. A trial is scheduled to begin April 17 and last five or six weeks.

Fox News and Dominion face off in high-stakes defamation trial.

Dominion Voting Systems, Fox News, and Fox Corp. will face a key hurdle in their defamation case on Tuesday, as a Delaware judge considers whether to rule on any part of the case ahead of a jury trial. Both sides have asked the judge to weigh in on a number of parts of the case, with Dominion arguing that there’s no defense for the alleged defamation and Fox News arguing that the First Amendment protects its coverage. The judge's ruling could limit and shape the future of the defamation case, deciding which claims will be considered, who could be held liable for them, and what questions the jury will be asked to answer.

Prince Harry Fights Back Against Tabloid Defamation

Prince Harry seeks to win his libel case against Associated Newspapers without a trial over an article in the Mail on Sunday newspaper that alleged he offered to pay for police protection only after bringing a separate legal fight against Britain’s government. Harry's lawyers argue that the publisher has no viable defence to his libel claim, while Associated Newspapers' lawyers say they will rely on a strong argument of "honest opinion". Harry has embarked on a series of legal battles with the tabloid press, including another case against Associated Newspapers due to be heard later this month.
