Jury finds Trump sexually abused writer in NY department store

But Mr Trump was found not liable for raping E Jean Carroll in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman.

The jury also found Mr Trump liable for defamation for calling the writer's accusations "a Hoax and a lie".

It is the first time Mr Trump has been found legally responsible for a sexual assault.

The Manhattan jury ordered Mr Trump to pay her about $5m (£4m) in damages.

Because the trial was in civil court - rather than criminal - Mr Trump will not be required to register as a sex offender. 

Donald Trump mistook rape accuser E Jean Carroll for ex-wife, trial told

In the video, Mr Trump was shown a photo of himself speaking to other people at an event. "It's Marla," he says, before his lawyer corrects him.

"No, that's Carroll," the lawyer says.

Ms Carroll, 79, has accused Mr Trump, 76, of attacking her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s, an allegation Mr Trump has denied.

Lawyers for Ms Carroll have argued that Mr Trump's confusion over the photo undermines his claim that Ms Carroll is "not my type", a comment he has repeated since she first came forward with the allegation in 2019.

Trump arrives at New York courthouse to face criminal charges

Wearing a dark blue suit and red tie, Trump, 76, exhibited little emotion on his face when he waved to a crowd assembled outside the courthouse after he was driven in a motorcade from his New York residence at Trump Tower.

Trump, who has called the charges politically motivated, held his fist in the air in a gesture to reporters as he departed Trump Tower.

Looking somber, Trump said nothing as he walked past police and through a hallway in the courthouse before entering the courtroom for the arraignment proceeding.

Elon Musk would reverse Donald Trump's Twitter ban

The richest man in the world agreed a $NZ70 billion takeover bid with the Twitter board last month.

But he said it was not a done deal and that ideally it would be completed in the next two to three months.

Twitter's decision to ban the former US president was "morally wrong and flat-out stupid", Musk told the Financial Times Future of the Car summit.

In January 2021, Twitter said Trump's account was "permanently suspended ... due to the risk of further incitement of violence" following the storming of the Capitol.

"We're currently set for release in the Apple App store for Monday 21 February," the executive responded.

Trump Scottish golf resorts claimed over £3m in furlough

Covid restrictions caused substantial losses at Trump resorts in Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire with both companies reducing staff.

Trump Turnberry saw turnover more than halved and it recorded a loss of more than £3m in 2020.

The other course and resort at Balmedie also reported a loss, of £1.3m.

Donald Trump's mother came from the Isle of Lewis, and the former US president is said to have spoken fondly of his Scottish ancestry.

Trump's real-estate empire pays the price for poisonous politics

His supporters are so devoted that most believe his false claim that he lost the 2020 election because of voter fraud.

But the same tactics that have inspired fierce political loyalty have undermined Trump's business, built around real-estate development and branding deals that have allowed him to make millions by licensing his name.

Trump sues Twitter, Google and Facebook alleging 'censorship'

The class action lawsuit also targets the three companies' CEOs.

Mr Trump was suspended from his social accounts in January over public safety concerns in the wake of the Capitol riots, led by his supporters.

On Wednesday, Mr Trump called the lawsuit "a very beautiful development for our freedom of speech".

In a news conference from his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, Mr Trump railed against social media companies and Democrats, who he accused of espousing misinformation.

Trump Organization expected to be charged with tax crimes

The Manhattan District Attorney's office will indict the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg, reports the BBC's US partner CBS News.

Mr Trump himself is not expected to be implicated personally in the case.

New York City has already cut business ties with the twice-impeached former president.

The Trump Organization is a family holding company that owns hotels, golf clubs and other properties.

Donald Trump-era ban on TikTok dropped by Joe Biden

The ban faced a series of legal challenges and never came into force.

Instead, the US Department of Commerce will now review apps designed and developed by those in "the jurisdiction of a foreign adversary", such as China.

It should use an "evidence-based approach" to see if they pose a risk to US national security, Mr Biden said.

TikTok did not offer comment on the news.

Mr Trump ordered the ban on new downloads of the viral video app TikTok, which is owned by Chinese firm Bytedance, in 2020.
