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...

UK court orders delay to extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to US on espionage charges

Kate’s photo scandal shows how hard it is for the UK monarchy to control its narrative

The scandal over Kate, Princess of Wales' family snapshot is a new chapter in the thorny relationship between the media and Britain's royal family. It's also a sign of how hard it is for the monarchy to control its own narrative in the social-media era. "Social media has empowered the royals to curate their public image in new ways," royal historian Ed Owens said on Tuesday. The photo of the Princess of Wales and her children intended to calm speculation about her health (left) and the inconsistencies that caused concern it had been digitally manipulated (right).
