Donald Trump says Twitter has become ‘very boring’ since he got banned
Former president Donald Trump has launched a last-ditch appeal to keep the House Ways and Means Committee from gaining access to tax returns by filing an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court claiming it will undermine the separation of powers.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump’s legal troubles in New York are coming to a head, with three cases involving him and his affairs currently being 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. Mr Trump has already been deposed in the case. And on another front, the criminal tax fraud trial of the Trump Organization has begun after an acrimonious jury selection process.
Elsewhere, US Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn has testified at the trial of several leading members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group describing the events of 6 January 2021.
