Trump's Immunity Defense Rejected by Judge Juan: Hush Money Case Firm as He Prepares to take Office
In a major legal setback, Judge Juan Merchan has ruled that Donald Trump's felony conviction in the New York hush money case will stand, rejecting his claim for presidential immunity.
This ruling comes as Trump is set to return to the political stage as President next year, raising questions about how his legal battles will impact his presidency.
The court found that the charges, which stem from falsifying business records related to payments made to Stormy Daniels, were unrelated to his official duties as president.
With Trumpâs conviction still intact, the legal battles continue to unfold as the 2024 election draws closer.

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin â but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia.
While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed âsanctions immunity,â Trumpâs frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trumpâs acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russiaâs economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point.

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a global trade storm by raising tariffs on Canadian imports to 35%, accusing Ottawa of failing to curb fentanyl and drug flows into America. Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canadaâs efforts, but Trump claimed negotiations fell short. The new rateâup from 25%âcomes amid broader tariffs hitting dozens of countries.
Despite the USMCA shielding nearly 90% of Canadian exports, key goods like dairy, wood, and leather may still be taxed. Trump spared Mexico for now but warned that other nationsâincluding Taiwan, India, Laos, and even Switzerlandâface harsh levies, some as high as 41%. Critics warn of soaring consumer prices and economic disruption, but the White House insists the tariffs are "rebuilding the greatest economy in history." With global trade talks in limbo and retaliations expected, this marks Trumpâs boldest move yet in his battle to reset world commerce.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Western allies to seek "regime change" in Russia following a devastating drone and missile strike on Kyiv that killed 16 people, including a six-year-old boy. Over 150 were wounded in one of the most intense attacks in months. The overnight barrage hit a residential tower, causing mass devastation, just as Moscow claimed to have captured Chasiv Yar, a strategic town in eastern Ukraine.
While Ukraine denies full Russian control, analysts admit the battle is âvery difficult.â The brutal assault came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 10-day ultimatum to Russia, threatening further sanctions. As the Kremlin pushes its offensive deeper into Donetsk, Kyiv faces political unrest at home after Zelensky was forced to withdraw a controversial anti-corruption bill under EU pressure. With Russia escalating attacks and Ukraineâs internal crisis deepening, the war enters a volatile new phase.

U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignited a firestorm by calling Donald Trump a âRapistâ in a social media post referencing Jeffrey Epstein. The remark, made on X, accused Trump of obstructing the release of Epstein-related files during his presidency. The post went viral, drawing immediate outrage from Trumpâs supporters, with many labeling the comment defamatory.
Conservative voices, including Laura Loomer, invoked precedent from a recent $15 million defamation settlement involving ABCâs George Stephanopoulos. Critics argue Trump has never been criminally convicted of Rape, and AOCâs post could open the door to legal action. The controversy is unfolding alongside renewed scrutiny of the Epstein case, where the DOJ recently denied the existence of a âclient listâ and reaffirmed Epsteinâs death as suicide. AOC has not yet responded to the backlash.
