LIVE: Trump Trial in Civil Fraud Case
President Donald J Trump recently faced legal scrutiny as Judge Arthur Engoron ruled against him and his company, finding that they had deceived various entities by inflating asset values and exaggerating his net worth on documents. This ruling followed Trump’s use of the Fifth Amendment during an initial deposition in August 2022, though he later cooperated and answered questions in a subsequent deposition in April 2023.
According to reports from Fox News, Trump’s legal spokeswoman, Alina Habba, criticized the judge’s decision, labeling it as “fundamentally flawed,” while praising the Trump Organization as “an American success story.” Additionally, a New York Appeals Court in June narrowed the scope of the civil lawsuit brought by state Attorney General Letitia James against the Trump family, excluding Ivanka Trump as a defendant and citing statute of limitations constraints for certain alleged fraud claims.

In November, president-elect Donald Trump announced on social media that he would impose a 25% tariff on all products from Canada and Mexico if they do not take an active role in containing illegal immigration as well as the level of illicit drugs entering into the United States.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Trump at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, after which the Canadian government vowed to secure the border. “We got, I think, a mutual understanding of what they’re concerned about in terms of border security,” Minister of Public Safety Dominic LeBlanc, who accompanied Trudeau at Mar-a-Largo, said of the meeting in an interview with Canadian media. “All of their concerns are shared by Canadians and by the government of Canada.”
“We talked about the security posture currently at the border that we believe to be effective, and we also discussed additional measures and visible measures that we’re going to put in place over the coming weeks,” LeBlanc continued. “And we also established, Rosemary, a personal series of rapport that I think will continue to allow us to make that case.”
The Daily Caller News Foundation reports the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is preparing to beef up its immigration enforcement capabilities by hiring more staff, adding more vehicles and creating more processing facilities, in the chance that there is an immigration surge sparked by Trump’s presidential election victory. The moves are a change in direction from Trudeau’s public declaration in January 2017 that Canada was a “welcoming” country and that “diversity is our strength” just days after Trump was sworn into office the first time.
The Daily Caller notes the differences in response from the Canadian government verses Mexico’s:
Trudeau’s recent overtures largely differ from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has indicated she is not willing to bend the knee to Trump’s tariff threats. The Mexican leader in November said “there will be a response in kind” to any tariff levied on Mexican goods going into the U.S., and she appeared to deny the president-elect’s claims that she agreed to do more to beef up border security in a recent phone call.
