Rudy Giuliani must give control of luxury items and Manhattan apartment to Georgia election workers he defamed, judge rules

A US federal judge has ordered former Donald Trump attorney and New York mayor Rudy Giuliani to turn over all his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse apartment to the control of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the Georgia election workers he defamed and to whom he now owes $US150 million ($224 million). Judge Lewis Liman of the federal court in Manhattan said Giuliani must turn over his interest in the property to the women in seven days, to a receivership they will control. The judge's turnover order of the luxury items is swift and simple, but the penthouse apartment will have its control transferred so Freeman and Moss can sell it, potentially for millions of dollars. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani departs the US District Courthouse after he was...

Trump’s former chief of staff says he fits ‘fascist’ definition and prefers ‘dictator approach’

John Kelly, the retired Marine general who was Donald Trump's White House chief of staff, told The New York Times that the former president fits "into the general definition of fascist" and "certainly prefers the dictator approach to government." The newspaper reported on Tuesday that in a recorded interview, Kelly was asked whether the former president met the definition of a fascist and responded by reading aloud a definition he'd found online. "Well, looking at the definition of fascism: It's a far-right authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterised by a dictatorial leader, centralised autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy," Kelly said. Republican presidential nominee, former...

‘DJ Trump’: Trump town hall turns into impromptu concert after medical incidents

Donald Trump's town hall in the Philadelphia suburbs turned into an impromptu concert on Monday after the former president was twice interrupted by medical emergencies in the room.

How does the Electoral College work? Explaining the centuries-old system that decides the US election

When the United States heads to the polls for the election, the popular vote won't decide whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump becomes president. Instead, it will be whoever wins the most Electoral College votes. It's a political system that's vastly different from our own here in Australia – and it's not without its critics. Here's how it works. It's not the popular vote that decides who wins the US election - its the votes of the Electoral College, like these ones. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) How does the Electoral College system work? Each state plus the District of Columbia is allocated a number of Electoral College votes. Whichever presidential candidate wins the popular vote in each state gets all of that state's electoral votes. There are...

Why the Harris campaign has spent $16 million on a Facebook page with 1000 followers

As Donald Trump and Kamala Harris feverishly chase undecided voters in the final stretch of the US presidential campaign, millions of people in battleground states are being served ads on Facebook and Instagram from an obscure page calling itself "The Daily Scroll." The social media ads, which are adorned with a nondescript logo resembling a pair of checkmarks, have promoted news articles from mainstream outlets including CNN, ABC and NBC, showing easing US inflation, cheaper insulin prices, and the consequences of state abortion bans. But the ads on Meta-owned platforms aren't being paid for by any news outlet — they're a product of Harris' presidential campaign, which has spent heavily on social media platforms and embraced influencers to power her online efforts against Trum...
