The investigations into Donald Trump aren't going away
CNN
Thursday provided an important reminder that Donald Trump's legal problems are far from over.
First, New York Attorney General Letitia James asked a New York court to hold the former President in civil contempt for his alleged refusal to turn over certain documents related to the investigation into the possibility that he over- and under-valued his assets to secure favorable loan terms.
According to a filing from James' office, on the day last month that was established as a deadline for Trump to turn over the documents, his legal team instead filed 16 objections to James' request. James' office asked the court that Trump be fined $10,000 per day until all of the requested documents are turned over.
Senate Democrats have confirmed some of President Joe Biden’s picks for the federal bench this week in the face of President-elect Donald Trump’s calls for a total GOP blockade of judicial nominations – in part because several Republicans involved with the Trump transition process have been missing votes.
Donald Trump is considering a right-wing media personality and people who have served on his US Secret Service detail to run the agency that has been plagued by its failure to preempt two alleged assassination attempts on Trump this summer, sources familiar with the president-elect’s thinking tell CNN.
President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, a nongovernmental entity helmed by billionaire Elon Musk and biotech entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, is expected to make a push for an end to remote work across federal agencies as a way to help reduce the federal workforce through attrition.
