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. Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks to reporters during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Aug. 8, 2024, in Palm Beach, Florida. (CNN) Smith's ...

US President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, convicted of all three felonies in federal gun trial

Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden, could be sentenced just days before the US presidential election after he was convicted of all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018 when, prosecutors argued, he lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs. Jurors on Tuesday (early Wednesday AEST) found Hunter Biden guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user and illegally having the gun for 11 days. He stared straight ahead and showed little emotion as the verdict was read. After the verdict, he patted his defence attorney on the shoulder. He faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced by Judge Maryellen ...

Trump says he’s ‘okay’ with serving potential jail time or house arrest after historic conviction

But, Trump added, "I don't think the public would stand it. I'm not sure the public would stand for it." "I think it would be tough for the public to take, you know, at a certain point, there's a breaking point," Trump said. His comments come just days after a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of all charges in his hush money trial, making him the first former president to be found guilty of a felony and the first major-party presidential nominee to be convicted of a crime in the midst of a campaign for the White House. Judge Juan Merchan set Trump's sentencing for July 11. Merchan could sentence Trump to probation or up to four years in state prison on each count, with a maximum of 20 years. For now, the former president remains out of prison as he awaits sentencing. H...

Trump booed at Libertarian convention as he asks crowd to ‘nominate me or at least vote for me’

Former President Donald Trump was loudly and consistently booed throughout a speech at the Libertarian Party's national convention, particularly when he asked attendees to "nominate me or at least vote for me." The heckling began the moment the former president took the stage on Saturday, and some of his supporters in the room tried to drown out the boos with chants of "We want Trump." "Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together," Trump said. "Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it's very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history." Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump speaks at the Libertarian National Convention at the Washington Hilton in Washingto...

Judge declines to delay Trump’s New York hush money trial over complaints of pretrial publicity

The judge in Donald Trump's hush money criminal case turned down the former president’s request to postpone his trial because of publicity about the case. It's the latest in a string of delay denials that Trump has gotten from various courts this week as he fights to stave off the trial's start on Monday with jury selection. Among other things, Trump's lawyers had argued that the jury pool was deluged with what the defense saw as “exceptionally prejudicial” news coverage of the case. The defense maintained that was a reason to hold off the case indefinitely. Judge Juan M. Merchan said that idea was “not tenable.” Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view...
