Former President Donald Trump risks having his assets seized as soon as next after he failed to secure a $454 million bond for a civil fraud case.
In a court filing on Monday morning, the former president’s lawyers said 30 surety companies have already rejected him. Trump’s children and Trump Organization executives have attempted to aid him to no avail.
The ruling by Judge Arthur Engoron gives Trump 30 days to pay from Engoron’s formal entry of the order. Trump’s 30 days end on March 25.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought on the lawsuit against Trump, said she’s ready to seize his assets if he cannot pay. Trump’s civil fraud case includes inflating the value of numerous assets and properties including his Mar-a-Lago resort and Trump Tower penthouse.
James expressed confidence in the strength of her case on appeal and reiterated her office’s determination to...

High-profile attorney Roberta Kaplan claimed that Donald Trump threw papers across the table at his Mar-a-Lago residence after learning that his legal team would provide her lunch.
During Thursday’s episode of the George Conway Explains It All podcast, Kaplan said that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through their lunch break because he believed the deposition was a “waste of time.”
“And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” she said. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?'”
Kaplan told Trump that his legal team had “graciously offered to provide” her team with a meal, “At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he...

In 2023, Donald Trump‘s super PACs spent $50 million in donor funds on legal expenses.
Trump spent the money after being criminally indicted in his failed effort to overturn the election and misuse of classified documents. He also faces defamation and civil fraud cases in civil courts.
The former president began raising millions of donations to him after he lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump pushed false claims of voter fraud to encourage his supporters to donate after his loss, attempts which have since become crucial to two of the indictments filed against him.
Save America, a Trump Pac which previously had over $100 million in the bank, almost went broke last year under the crush of legal fees.
The super Pac had paid for attorneys for Trump and some of his aides, who were named in the indictments, including Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, who were both...

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift hasn’t even endorsed President Joe Biden for reelection yet. That hasn’t stopped members of MAGAland’s upper crust from plotting to declare — as one source close to Donald Trump calls it — a “holy war” on the pop megastar, especially if she ends up publicly backing the Democrats in the 2024 election.
According to three people familiar with the matter, Trump loyalists working on or close to the former president’s campaign, longtime Trump allies in right-wing media, and an array of outside advisers to the ex-president...

On Thursday afternoon, former President Donald Trump returned to court to take a stand in the defamation lawsuit brought against him by author E. Jean Carroll.
Trump’s testimony was delayed earlier after a Covid-19 scare.
Carroll’s lawyers wrapped their case on Thursday morning, where they presented evidence, which included footage of a deposition Trump gave in a separate civil fraud case.
When Trump took the stand, his lawyer asked whether he had intended to hurt Carroll with his statements.
“No,” Mr. Trump said. “I just wanted to defend myself, my family and, frankly, the presidency.”
Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, immediately objected.
Judge Lewis Kaplan agreed, saying, “Everything after ‘no’ is stricken — the jury will disregard it.”
Trump was briefly cross-examined and then left the stand after just three minutes.
The lawsuit against Trump centers around defamatory statements made by the 45th president, in which he denied sexually assaulting and ever meeting her.

Former President Trump’s CNN town hall was the talk of most social platforms Wednesday night.
Many viewers were aghast as he steamrolled over questions from moderator Kaitlan Collins, with Trump surrogates and campaign officials touting the town hall as a “big win” for the candidate as the crowd cheered and applauded Trump’s responses.
CNN CEO Chris Licht, aware of the backlash and social media furor, addressed the reaction on the cable news channel’s Thursday morning editorial call, audio of which The Hollywood Reporter obtained.
“We all know covering Donald Trump is messy and tricky, and will continue to be messy and tricky, but it’s our job. We’re going to do it fairly, toughly and aggressively, as Kaitlan did last night,” Licht said on the call. “I absolutely, unequivocally, believe America was served very well by what we did last night, because it laid bare and created,...

An October 2022 video of Donald Trump being interrogated about the rape allegations against him was made public on Friday. Jurors involved in the E. Jean Carroll civil battery and defamation trial had access to written transcripts of the former president’s testimony but not the recording.
In the video deposition, Trump affirmed that he previously made official statements that he did not know Carroll, described her allegations that he raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-90s as a “hoax” and “a false, disgusting lie” and said she was “not his type.” He also called Carroll several names, including “nut job” and “mentally sick.”

The electric comedy series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" is set to deliver a gloriously satisfying conclusion in its fifth and final season on Prime Video. Known for its blustering pace and whip-smart dialogue, the show offered a glimpse into the life and career of a housewife turned comedienne during one of the most exciting time periods in New York City's history. The swinging sixties opened up new avenues and opportunities for entertainers of every ilk, who flocked to Greenwich Village to appear on stage in hip, smoke-filled clubs like the infamous Gaslight Café on MacDougal Street. Winning numerous awards over multiple seasons, series star Rachel Brosnahan took inspiration from a number of performers to bring Midge Maisel to life when it was her time to shine in the spotlight.

There is a heartbreaking scene near the end of episode three of HBO Max’s acclaimed comedy series “Hacks.” Young writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbender), who has been hired to create new material for veteran stand-up comic Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), is watching an old VHS tape of a young Deborah’s unaired TV pilot for a late-night talk show. She is fresh-faced, funny and hopeful. She thanks her husband, her sister and her young daughter.
If the show had succeeded, Deborah would have been the first woman to headline late-night. But it didn’t happen. Her ex-husband ran off with her sister and she has a less than wonderful relationship with her daughter. Instead of challenging herself, she has had a longtime residency at a Las Vegas casino. But she’s been told that her dates are being cut back to make way for new talent.

Lenny Bruce: Dustin Hoffman in the 1974 Bob Fosse movie. Lenny Bruce movie review: Polemical stand-up comedian merited less timid biopic (Oscar Movie Series) Bob Fosse's 1974 biopic Lenny has two chief assets: the ever relevant free speech issues it raises and the riveting presence of Valerie Perrine. The film itself, however, is only sporadically thought-provoking or emotionally gripping; in fact, Lenny is a major artistic letdown, considering all the talent involved and the fertile material at hand. After all, much more should have come out of a joint effort between director Fosse, fresh off his Academy Award win for Cabaret; playwright-screenwriter Julian Barry, whose stage version of Lenny earned Cliff Gorman a Tony Award; two-time Best Actor Oscar nominee Dustin Hoffman (The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy); and cinematographer Bruce Surtees (Play Misty for Me, Blume in Love). Their larger-than-life subject? Lenny Bruce, the stand-up comedian who became one of the...
