Trump suffers blows in two criminal cases as insurer questioned over fraud bond: Live

Donald Trump Faces Legal Setbacks in Florida and Georgia Cases

Donald Trump suffered legal setbacks in both his Florida and Georgia cases on Thursday as New York attorney general Letitia James submitted a request for more information about the company underwriting the $175m fraud bond he placed on Monday.

Classified Documents Case

In the classified documents case, Judge Aileen Cannon denied the Republican presidential candidate’s motion to dismiss the indictment brought by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith based on the Presidential Records Act, which Mr Trump claims gave him the authority to retain papers containing sensitive national security information.

Judge Cannon also denied Mr Smith’s request for a prompt ruling on jury instructions prior to trial, calling the prosecution’s request “unprecedented and unjust”.

Peach State Election Interference Case

In the Peach State election interference case, Judge Scott McAfee also rejected an effort by the candidate and his co-defendants to throw out the indictment on free speech grounds.

New York Attorney General’s Request for Evidence

In New York, Ms James filed notice asking for evidence that Knight Specialty Insurance Company, which backed the bond Mr Trump placed on Monday, can pay up if needed.

The politician was forced to resubmit key paperwork relating to the bond on Thursday after it was rejected and “returned for correction” over missing information.

BREAKING: US economy blows past expectations to add 303,000 jobs in March

The US economy blew past expectations and added 303,000 nonfarm jobs in March, making it the 39th straight month of job growth.

The unemployment rate remained virtually unchanged at 3.8 per cent as health care, government and construction gained the largest amount of jobs.

President Joe Biden hailed the jobs numbers.

”Today’s report marks a milestone in America’s comeback,” he said in a statement. “Three years ago, I inherited an economy on the brink. With today’s report of 303,000 new jobs in March, we have passed the milestone of 15 million jobs created since I took office.”

Lara Trump says there is now ‘no daylight’ between the RNC and Trump campaign

The Republican National Committee’s new co-chair announced that Project Cannibal was well underway during an interview with Newsmax last night.

She also complained about her father-in-law being nicknamed “Broke Don” and said she “assumed” that Joe Biden doesn’t have the answers, although would be unlikely to listen even if she bothered to ask him.

Nebraska lawmakers reject Trump-backed electoral changes

Cornhusker State legislators overwhelmingly voted against modifications to its electoral system that would have awarded one presidential candidate all of its electoral votes – a change that would have benefitted a certain former Republican president.

The GOP-majority legislature this week voted 36-8 against the proposal, which would have switched Nebraska’s current method of distributing electoral votes to a winner-take-all system.

Trump’s Spotify playlist revealed – and what his favourite songs say about him

Donald Trump is a man of simple pleasures: he likes steaks and Big Macs, model wives, massive skyscrapers and a sparkling chandelier dangling above his golden bidet.

You might characterise it as Frank Sinatra in Vegas by way of Liberace.

And it turns out that’s actually not too far from the truth when it comes to the twice-impeached, four-times-indicted Republican presidential candidate’s musical taste too.

Here’s a look at what makes the cut on the Mar-a-Lago playlist and what it reveals about “DJ T”.

Trump makes surprise appearance at Nigel Farage’s 60th birthday party

I’m very much looking forward to watching what your next move is gonna be, it’s gonna be an interesting one. “You’re not done yet and hopefully the best is yet to come, so Nigel: enjoy this day.”

Truth Social: Trump posts video claiming ‘Biden and the Democrats are the party of violence’

From the man who brought you the Capitol riot, routinely promises a “bloodbath” and considers migrants “vermin”, here’s a montage of Democrats from Biden to Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters and Madonna (!) being mean about him.
