Here’s everything you need to know about what’s next in the legal problems for Donald Trump and his allies



Last week, former President Donald Trump had the worst several days of his legal woes yet -- and he's far from alone in facing legal problems.

Business Insider has outlined a list of Trump's allies who are facing their own legal challenges and they include Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, who will appear in a Manhattan courtroom for the criminal case alleging fraud. Prosecutors have obtained 6 million pages of documents and a 115-page filing from the New York Attorney General showed a long list of financial decisions that misled investors and banks and possibly scored a tax break based on other manipulated information.

Weisselberg is to appear Monday, Jan. 31.

Trump has also been fighting the National Archives turning over any of the documents from his presidency, but the Supreme Court last week blocked his attempt. Trump's lawyers asked that nothing be turned over to the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 at least until Friday, Feb. 4. After the Supreme Court decision, however, the documents are on their way while Trump decides what to do next.

Donald Trump's 2017 Presidential inaugural committee (PIC) is set to appear in court Thursday, Feb. 17 after allegations of the illegal misuse of funds. In another investigation, Trump's inaugural committee chairman, Tom Barrack, was arrested for participating in an illegal political influence campaign at the urging of the government of the United Arab Emirates.

Just weeks ago, prosecutors focused on Trump's children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. for not paying hotel bills, over-billing the committee to funnel money from the PIC to Trump hotels, and other potential allegations.

Monday, April 4, Trump will face the end of another special grand jury empaneled as part of another criminal probe into his company's finances. Indictments are expected to come afterward.

A civil lawsuit against the Trump Org. is slated to begin jury selection on Monday, May 2.

That same day, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will present her findings to the special grand jury empaneled there to investigate possible election fraud after Trump demanded the Georgia secretary of state "find 11,780 votes" so he could overturn the 2020 election there. Trump maintains he did nothing wrong. She said that she expects to decide whether to announce indictments by June 1.

Wednesday, June 29 will bring to light the infamous "Celebrity Apprentice" tapes that could verify allegations that the Trump Organization used the show to score cash as part of a pyramid scheme. The Trump members have tried to put the case on hold, to no avail. This too could bring Ivanka and Don Jr. into a possible indictment.

How misinformation could shape the Israel-Hamas war

Image
I wanted to interview Nicholas Grossman regarding the role of misinformation in the war between Israel and Hamas. In particular, I hoped to ask the professor of international relations at the University of Illinois, and senior editor of Arc Digital , about misinformation that arose from American reporting on an explosion at a hospital in Gaza. You know what? I ended up repeating a bit of misinformation! I asked him to lay out the facts about a blast that “killed hundreds, including kids,” and he said nuh-uh (not his words). In fact, Professor Grossman said, “there never were hundreds killed by an explosion at that hospital. Media reported that the hospital was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike killing 500, but that was based on something a Hamas-controlled agency said and was never supported by evidence.” Professor Grossman went on to say “what apparently did happen is something hit a nearby parking lot and caused a smaller explosion, most likely a rocket fired from Gaza towards I

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5

'It is his aphrodisiac': Ex-RNC chair explains how gag order 'stimulates' Trump and his base

Image
As President Donald Trump faces gag orders in two separate cases — one from Judge Arthur Engoron presiding over his New York civil fraud trial, and the other from Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will preside of his Washington, DC January 6 trial in March — some experts expect him to violate the orders soon. With a history of threatening and verbally attacking others, MSNBC's Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday pointed to the fact the ex-president's rhetoric influenced January 6 rioters who chanted, "Hang Mike Pence!" Noting Trump "gets deeply stimulated and excited by the violence," Wallace asked analyst and ex-Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele what he thinks the MAGA hopeful's "calculation is on whether violating these gag orders lands him in jail is a good thing or bad thing for him." POLL : Should Trump be allowed to hold office again? Steele replied, "You put your finger on two very important words t
