Donald Trump

A jury in New York ordered former U.S. president and 2024 candidate Donald Trump on Friday to pay $83.3 million to compensate the writer E. Jean Carroll, whom he was found to have sexually assaulted and defamed.

The civil order, which prompted an audible gasp in the federal court, far exceeds the more than $10 million in damages for defamation that Carroll had sought.

Ten months before the presidential elections in the United States, all indications, including the most important of all, the results of the first two primaries, are that Donald Trump will probably be again - for the third time in a row - the Republican candidate for the presidency. 

Donald Trump won the key New Hampshire primary Tuesday, moving him ever closer to locking in the Republican presidential nomination and securing an extraordinary White House rematch with Joe Biden.

With votes around 60 percent counted, Trump's winning margin hovered at around 11 percentage points, but his sole remaining challenger Nikki Haley vowed to fight on.

The woman whom Donald Trump was found liable of sexually assaulting faced off with the former president Wednesday in a New York courtroom to say he subsequently ruined her reputation.

E. Jean Carroll, 80, is seeking more than $10 million alleging that Trump defamed her in 2019, when she first made her assault allegations public, by saying she "is not my type."

Donald Trump surged to an unexpected victory Monday, in Iowa, solidifying his position as the presumed Republican frontrunner who will contest President Joe Biden in the November's election.

The former president has led polling for more than a year, but the contest was seen as the clearest insight yet into whether he can convert his advantage into a stunning White House return.

Support for incumbent President Joseph Biden is at its lowest level for any president in 15 years.

The survey conducted by Ipsos for ABC News, based on a sample of 2,228 respondents, shows that Trump is far ahead of his Republican opponents in key popularity categories.

In a startling revelation, former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020 that the United States would not come to Europe's aid if it were to face an attack.

The US political system is remarkably divided, and public trust in its core institutions -particularly Congress, the judiciary, and the media -is at historic lows. Add algorithmically amplified disinformation to the mix, and Americans no longer believe in a common set of settled facts about their nation and the world.
