Trump news – live: Three trials underway in NYC as Steve Bannon calls Brazilian election stolen

AP

Donald Trump says Twitter has become ‘very boring’ since he got banned

US Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, who was on the front line of the response to the January 6 attack, has testified at the trial of several leading members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group.

Mr Dunn has described an encounter with members of the group in the area outside Nancy Pelosi’s office, a moment which was captured on video.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s legal troubles in New York are coming to a head today, with three cases involving him and his affairs set to be heard in court.

While his former adviser Tom Barrack faces an ongoing criminal trial in Brooklyn, Mr Trump himself is the target of a civil lawsuit claiming that he and his business systematically over- and under-valued real estate assets to obtain favourable loans while evading high tax burdens. And on another front, the criminal trial of the Trump Organization for an alleged tax fraud scheme is set to begin after jury selection was completed last week.

While Mr Trump will not be physically appearing in any of the three courtrooms today, he has already been deposed in the civil case, which is being brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
