Hearing officer recommends dismissal but says Trump ‘engaged in insurrection’.

Friday’s verdict was the second time in nine months that a jury addressed Carroll’s claim that Trump assaulted her in a New York City department store in 1996. Another jury last May found Trump liable for sexual abuse and ordered him to pay $5 million.

The results are disappointing for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the last major challenger in the race, who hoped to emerge as Trump’s chief rival.

He now turns to completing his second and final term as Florida governor, ending in 2027.

The magnitude of Trump’s success is still coming into focus. But the former president’s supporters endured a historic and life-threatening cold snap to participate in caucus meetings that unfolded in schools, churches and community centers across the state.

The Dunlap Republican representing Illinois’ 16th Congressional District said he believes Trump is the man to beat heading into the Iowa caucuses.

Trump held a pair of commit-to-caucus events in Newton in central Iowa and Clinton in the state’s far east.

The petition filed Thursday with the Illinois State Board of Elections is similar to those filed in other states.

State Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engeron also said “we don’t have time to waste” and that “we have one day to do this.” The comments came in response to answers that the judge said he considered irrelevant to the case and repetitive.

Unlike his bookings for three other batches of charges, this one yielded a historic first: the mug shot of a former American president, scowling at the camera.

The grand jury heard from witnesses into the evening Monday in the election subversion investigation into Donald Trump. The long day of testimony was punctuated by the mysterious and brief appearance on a county website of a list of criminal charges against the former president that prosecutors later disavowed.

The Fulton County investigation is the latest criminal case for Trump as he runs for the White House in 2024.

The allegations were made Thursday in an updated grand jury indictment that adds new charges against Trump and adds another defendant to the case.

The two Republicans will vie for Illinois’ 12th congressional district during next year’s primary elections.

The indictment unsealed Friday also says that, unaware of any records being moved, former President Donald Trump’s attorney identified 38 documents with “classified” markings and placed them in a folder, which he sealed with clear duct tape handed to him by Trump valet Walt Nauta.
