Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The former president's fraud trial will continue next week after he lost a bid on Friday to halt the proceedings while he fights a pretrial ruling that could strip him of Trump Tower and other prized properties.
Trump lawyer Christopher Kise said he was pleased the appeals court "upheld New York law and put a halt to any cancellation of business certificates, receivers or dissolution," The Associated Press reported.
As the trial was underway, Engoron on Thursday ordered that Trump and other defendants in the case give a court-appointed monitor, retired federal judge Barbara Jones, a list of all entities covered by the ruling.
Michael McAuliffe, a former federal prosecutor and elected state attorney, told Newsweek that, like much of what Trump does, the lawsuit was "a short-term tactical move designed to delay the start of the civil fraud trial.
His former lawyer and fixer is now a key witness in a criminal case connected to hush money payments made during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign to bury allegations of extramarital sexual encounters.
ABC News and The New York Times this week reported that Trump had allegedly shared potentially classified information about U.S. submarines with nuclear capability with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt at his Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving office.
