Donald Trump

A New York judge said he will lift the contempt of court order if Donald Trump meets conditions including paying $110,000 in fines he's racked up for being slow to respond to a civil subpoena.

The billionaire said it was a "mistake" for the social network to ban the former president after the Jan. 6th Capitol insurrection.

Trump has been ordered to pay $10,000 for each day he does not turn over documents sought by the N.Y. attorney general in connection with a civil probe of the Trump Organization.

The investigation, prompted by the discovery of top-secret papers found at Mar-a-Lago, is at an early stage, a source told NPR.

Calls Trump made to Republican lawmakers during the insurrection have been revealed publicly, underscoring questions about why no activity was recorded during the most crucial hours of that day.

A judge ordered lawyer and Trump ally John Eastman to give records to Congress' Jan. 6 committee, saying that Trump and Eastman's plan amounted to a "coup in search of legal theory" on Jan. 6.

The former president lauded the Russian strongman for his recent declarations on Ukraine, while criticizing U.S. President Biden as "man that has no concept of what he's doing."

But the attorney general would not confirm that a federal probe on the matter is underway. He said the Justice Department would "look at the facts and the law and take it from there."

Trump calls the ruling "a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in history."

The former president alleged in Texas over the weekend that Black prosecutors investigating him are "racist." And that was not the first example in recent weeks of Trump employing racist rhetoric.
