Donald Trump Loses Appeal In $5 Million E. Jean Carroll Case

Trump loses appeal

A federal appeals court in New York has upheld the $5 million verdict against President-elect Donald Trump in the sexual abuse and defamation case involving former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.

Three judges of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan concluded Monday that Trump failed to demonstrate that the lower district court erred in several of its evidentiary rulings as he claimed in his appeal.

“Further, he has not carried his burden to show that any claimed error or combination of claimed errors affected his substantial rights as required to warrant a new trial,” the court stated.

Trump’s defense team had argued that the testimony of two of his past sexual assault accusers should not have been admitted as part of the case. They also objected to the court hearing a 2005 recording of Trump talking about kissing and grabbing women without first obtaining their consent.

Jimmy Carter, 39th US president and noted humanitarian, has died

Former Pres. Carter dies

Former President Jimmy Carter, honored more widely for his humanitarian work around the globe after his presidency than for his White House tenure during a tumultuous time, has died. He was 100.

“My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love,” said Chip Carter, the former president’s son. “My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.”

Carter died in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. In November 2023, the Nobel Peace Prize-winner's wife of 77 years, Rosalynn, also passed away in the modest house they built together in 1961, when he had taken over his father's peanut warehouse business and was only beginning to consider a political career.

TVNL Comment: Rest in Peace, dear President Carter.  You will be remembered for your kindness, your humanity and your love of country.

Biden reportedly regrets ending re-election campaign and says he’d have defeated Trump

Biden regrets ending campaign

Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election – despite negative poll indications, White House sources have said.

The US president has reportedly also said he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general – reflecting that Garland, a former US appeals court judge, was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection while presiding over a justice department that aggressively prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter.

With just more than three weeks of his single-term presidency remaining, Biden’s reported rueful reflections are revealed in a Washington Post profile that contains the clearest signs yet that he thinks he erred in withdrawing his candidacy in July after a woeful debate performance against his rival for the White House, Trump, the previous month.

Marianne Williamson Launches Effort To Chair Democratic National Committee

Marianne WilliamsonMarianne Williamson, a self-help author and two-time Democratic presidential candidate, announced a bid to chair the Democratic National Committee on Thursday.

“This year, the party faces a more critical problem than we have ever faced before,” Williamson wrote on Substack. “The MAGA phenomenon now challenges the very way that politics are done in America, and the traditional tool kit of party organizing will not be enough to meet the moment.”

Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban so he can ‘negotiate a resolution to save the platform’

Tik TokPresident-elect Trump asked the Supreme Court to delay the deadline for a potential TikTok ban, which is slated for the day before his inauguration.

The court has agreed to hear TikTok’s challenge to the potential ban on an expedited schedule, but Trump told the justices that delaying the law until he returns to the White House could obviate the need for the court to weigh in.

“President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns,” wrote D. John Sauer, one of Trump’s personal appellate attorneys.

Sauer is Trump’s nominee for U.S. solicitor general, which would have him take over managing the government’s defense of the ban from the Biden administration.

US business leaders set to break record on donations to Trump inaugural fund

Zuckerberg and BezosUS business leaders are spending big on Donald Trump’s second inaugural fund, which is predicted to exceed even the record-setting $107m raised in 2017.

The donations, which are not restricted by campaign finance laws, come as industries and business leaders seek to curry favor with the incoming administration after the president-elect decisively won a second, non-consecutive term in November.

Some of the planned donations reportedly include $1m each from Jeff Bezos’s Amazon, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Facebook parent company Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg.

Hedge-fund manager Ken Griffin has said he plans to donate $1m, Bloomberg reported; Uber and its CEO Dara Khosrowshahi are reported to be chipping in $1m each; and Toyota, Ford and General Motors are each peeling off $1m. Ford is also reportedly coupling its donation with a fleet of vehicles.

Major international crisis ‘much more likely’ in Trump’s second term, says his ex-national security adviser

Bolton warns of int'l crisis

A major international crisis is “much more likely” in Donald Trump’s second term given the president-elect’s “inability to focus” on foreign policy, a former US ambassador to the United Nations has warned.

John Bolton, who at 17 months was Trump’s longest-serving national security adviser, delivered a scathing critique of his lack of knowledge, interest in facts or coherent strategy. He described Trump’s decision-making as driven by personal relationships and “neuron flashes” rather than a deep understanding of national interests.

Bolton also dismissed Trump’s claims during this year’s election campaign that only he could prevent a third world war while bringing a swift end to the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
