theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/10/trump-william-barr-classified-documents-january-6
Quick Glance: William Barr: Trump Charges Will Help Him in Primaries But Hurt Him in General Election
- Barr stated that it is not because of Trump's arrest last week in New York on hush money charges during his 2016 campaign.
- Barr said of the recovered classified files, "He had no claim to those documents,"
- "I think they probably have some very good evidence there," Barr said.
- Regardless, Barr believes that any criminal charges filed against Trump will galvanize his supporters ahead of the primaries early next year.
- But, he predicts, that support will not carry over into the general election.

Quick Glance: Profiting from Trump's Truth Social Appears Lucrative
- An amateur Wall Street investor group has made millions by betting against the stock price of Trump's social media company.
- Their bets are driven by the company's poor financials rather than personal feelings towards the former president.

reuters.com/legal/us-judge-rejects-trump-bid-throw-out-writers-833-mln-defamation-verdict-2024-04-25/
Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll
- A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.
- In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”
- Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”
- In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.
New evidence that criminal conviction won’t tank Trump’s candidacy: Some of Trump’s supporters say they might reconsider supporting him. Few would flip to Biden.

Supreme Court probes assassinations and coups in Trump immunity hearing: The court's decision will shape history well beyond Trump and the 2024 election.
axios.com/2024/04/26/trump-immunity-supreme-court-coup
Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles
- Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.
- The Supreme Court's decision to take the case may delay the former president's trial and deprive the public of the right to know if he attempted to undermine the sacred process of presidential succession.
- The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.
- The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
- ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.
- TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.
- ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.
- After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.
