Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear reelected to second term in Kentucky, overcoming state's GOP dominance

Quick Glance: The Impact of National Politics

Visits and support for Andy Beshear and Daniel Cameron before an upcoming gubernatorial debate in October.

Kentucky's gubernatorial race is at a critical point as Democratic incumbent Andy Beshear faces Trump-endorsed state Attorney General Daniel Cameron, testing the effectiveness of national politics.

A recent Morning Consult poll found that 43% of Kentucky Republicans approve of Beshear.

"Beshear has supporters," said Al Cross, Director of the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community at the University of Kentucky. "There are tens of thousands of people in the state for whom he is simply Andy."

Judge tosses Trump's defamation suit against writer who won sexual abuse lawsuit against him

apnews.com/article/trump-carroll-rape-lawsuit-trial-countersuit-ce51d06c2cd71cca6f455527a9baacf7

Quick Glance: Court dismisses Trump's defamation claim against E. Jean Carroll

Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan rules that Carroll's statements are 'substantially true' and Trump failed to prove malicious intent.

Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, plans to file an appeal against the decision.

Trump countersues Carroll in a separate defamation lawsuit seeking $10 million.

The lawsuits stem from Trump's denial of raping Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s.

Quick Glance: Firearms Discovered at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' L.A. and Miami Properties, Sources Say

During searches of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami, federal agents found firearms, as confirmed by three informed sources on Tuesday. Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday and confiscated the music mogul's phones in Miami before his planned trip to the Bahamas. According to a source familiar with the matter, Combs is under a federal criminal investigation due to multiple lawsuits filed against him in recent months.

Reportedly, Combs has been involved in numerous civil lawsuits since November, following a lawsuit from his former romantic partner Cassie, who accused him of physical and sexual abuse over several years. Combs has denied each of the sexual assault allegations, calling them 'sickening.' In February, a former employee who worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023 filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.

The cases are ongoing, and Combs has maintained his denial of the allegations. A man arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport on Monday is said to be an associate of Combs. Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on suspicion of possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. Court records indicated that Paul was released on bond on Tuesday.

Quick Glance: Roman Polanski to Stand Trial in US for Rape Lawsuit in 2025

Director Roman Polanski is facing new allegations of sexual assaults. He is set to participate in a civil trial in Los Angeles in 2025, alleging that he raped a young girl in 1973.

A lady has filed a lawsuit against director Roman Polanski, claiming that he sexually assaulted her in his residence in 1973 when she was a minor. The plaintiff, acting under a California law that extends the time limit for child sexual abuse, went out for dinner with Polanski when she was under the age of 18.

The plaintiff came forward for the first time in August 2017 during a press conference with Gloria Allred. Polanski, living in exile due to another abuse case from the 70s, was served with the lawsuit in Paris. The trial is scheduled for August 2025.

Geimer has requested a judge in LA to dismiss the case against the director as he expresses regret over the situation. Polanski, recognized as a creative genius while simultaneously being labeled a sexual offender, remains a controversial figure in the film industry and is currently facing a defamation trial in Paris.

Judge upholds the $5 million verdict against Trump in E. Jean Carroll's sex abuse and defamation case

Quick Glance: Donald Trump denied new trial in E. Jean Carroll case

A federal judge rejected Donald Trump's request for a new trial after a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation of E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million.

The judge also dismissed Trump's arguments for reducing damages to less than $1 million.

Carroll is also pursuing a $10 million defamation lawsuit against Trump over remarks made in the White House in June 2019.

The judge justified awarding Carroll $3 million for defamation, rejecting Trump's claim of "pure speculation".
