Trump in court as lawyers fight to overturn verdict in E. Jean Carroll sex abuse suit

Veering from the campaign trail to a courtroom, Donald Trump quietly observed Friday (local time) as his lawyer fought to overturn a verdict finding the former president liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The Republican nominee and his accuser, E. Jean Carroll, a writer, sat at tables about five metres apart, in a Manhattan federal appeals court. Trump didn't acknowledge or look at Carroll as he passed directly in front of her on the way in and out, but he sometimes shook his head, including when Carroll's attorney said he sexually attacked her.

Former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney endorses Kamala Harris

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said that he will vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over fellow Republican Donald Trump in the November election, warning that the former president "can never be trusted with power again." "In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," Cheney said in a statement. "He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again." "As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris," he concluded. As vice president, Dick Cheney was an archvillain to Democr...

On the first day without X, many Brazilians say they feel disconnected from the world

The blocking of social media platform X in Brazil divided users and politicians over the legitimacy of the ban, and many Brazilians have had difficulty and doubts over navigating other social media in its absence. The shutdown of Elon Musk's platform started early today, making it largely inaccessible on both the web and through mobile apps after the billionaire refused to name a legal representative to the country, missing a deadline imposed by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

Arlington cemetery controversy deepens as Trump and Harris trade attacks

Donald Trump on Saturday continued to defend his visit this week to Arlington National Cemetery amid mounting criticism, including from Vice President Kamala Harris, who said the former president "is unable to comprehend anything other than service to himself." Veterans, service members and their families "should be honoured, never disparaged, and treated with nothing less than our highest respect and gratitude," Harris wrote on Saturday in a lengthy post on social media. "And it is my belief that someone who cannot meet this simple, sacred duty should never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States of America."

Harris and Trump squabble over muted mics at upcoming debate

The campaigns of Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump are arguing over whether microphones should be muted except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak, in advance of their high-stakes September 10 debate. While it's common for campaigns to quibble beforehand over debate mechanics, both Harris and Trump are under pressure to deliver a strong performance next month in Philadelphia. The first debate during this campaign led to President Joe Biden's departure from the race. Trump on Sunday night raised the possibility that he might not show up on US network ABC, posting on his Truth Social network that he had watched the network's Sunday show with a "so-called Panel of Trump Haters" and posited, "why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on th...

Justice Department seeks to revive Trump documents case

Special counsel Jack Smith is arguing to revive his office's classified documents case against Donald Trump with a vigorous defence of its authority in the first formal filing since Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the criminal case last month. In a brief filed with the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta on Monday, Smith argues that Cannon's decision to end the Trump case because the prosecutors' office lacked constitutional authority was "novel" and "lack[ed] merit." Cannon had ruled the Justice Department didn't have the ability to appoint or fund special counsels like Smith.
