Ex-Trump lawyer: Latest Cohen remarks ‘direct violation’ of gag order
Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order
  • Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

  • Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

  • Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

  • Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction overturned by New York appeals court
Quick Glance: New York Overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction
  • New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial rulings by the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial.

  • The State Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures, ordering a new trial where his accusers might have to relive their traumas.

  • Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction, but will remain imprisoned due to another rape conviction in Los Angeles in 2022.

  • This decision marks another setback for #MeToo, following the US Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal in the Bill Cosby case, where his sexual assault conviction was overturned by a Pennsylvania court.

Will Supreme Court make Trump immune from Jan. 6 prosecution?
Quick Glance: Supreme Court Hears Trump Immunity Claim in Election Interference Case
  • The Supreme Court is considering Donald Trump’s assertion of total immunity from criminal charges over his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.

  • Justices express concerns about whether certain presidential acts should be off-limits, casting doubt on the possibility of a trial taking place before the election.

  • The case scrutinizes the distinction between private and official acts of Trump, with the Court likely rejecting Trump's broadest arguments, potentially immunizing even acts such as ordering a military coup.

  • The focus remains on the legal question of whether a former president can be prosecuted for actions taken while in office, emphasizing the importance of the Court's ruling on the extent of official act protection and the implications for future presidents.
