Federal prosecution of Donald Trump

NEW YORK - New York Mayor Eric Adams lost a bid to narrow his five-count federal corruption indictment as a judge declined on Tuesday to dismiss a bribery charge related to luxury travel benefits provided by a Turkish official, with the trial set for April.

Donald Trump‘s campaign team has requested a military aircraft and vehicles for his protection during the final weeks of his campaign, according to reports from the New York Times and Washington Post.

President Joe Biden said Friday he was not confident the U.S. election in November would be peaceful, citing incendiary comments by Republican contender Donald Trump, who still rejects his 2020 defeat.

Biden's warning came with lawmakers and analysts voicing concern over increasingly bellicose campaign language ahead of the vote.

Donald Trump is to plead not guilty to the charges in a revised indictment accusing him of seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, according to a court filing on Sept. 3.

Trump, in a filing with the U.S. District Court in Washington, waived his right to be present at his arraignment on the charges and instructed his attorneys to plead not guilty.

Just ten weeks before the US presidential election, former President Donald Trump faces new legal troubles. Special prosecutor Jack Smith has filed a fresh indictment against Trump, accusing him of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results. This indictment brings the total number of charges against Trump to four.

U.S. President Joe Biden warned Monday that the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling on presidential immunity sets a "dangerous precedent" that Donald Trump would exploit if elected in November.

Trump has been accused of inciting riots at the U.S. Capitol building in an attempt to overturn the result after he lost the 2020 US election. The Trump campaign said the Colorado ruling was "wrong" and would appeal to the US Supreme Court.
It comes after a Colorado court, all of whose judges were appointed by Democratic governors, removed Trump from the state's presidential race.

In a landmark decision that could resonate nationwide, the Colorado Supreme Court has excluded former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 presidential ballot. Citing the 14th Amendment's "insurrectionist ban," the court ruled 4-3, deeming Trump ineligible as a presidential candidate, CNN reported.

An appeals court in Colorado on Tuesday ruled Donald Trump cannot appear on the state's presidential primary ballot because of his involvement in the attack on the Capitol in January 2021.
