Trump

Yahoo - The U.S. Federal Election Commission on Tuesday granted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump a second 45-day extension to file personal financial disclosures. Trump had initially been due to report on his personal financial situation to the Federal Election Commission on May 15 but was granted an extension until July 1 on request. A legal representative for the former president on Tuesday requested the agency grant the candidate another extension, citing the complexities of his financial holdings, according to a copy of the letter released by the agency. A second letter released by the agency showed it had granted the request. "A hard copy of the report bearing Mr. Trump's original signature is now due and should be received by the Federal Election Commission by August 15, 2024," that letter added. 

Daily Beast - Judge Juan Merchan has altered Donald Trump’s gag order, allowing the former president to comment on witnesses and jurors in his hush-money trial.However, Trump is still barred from talking about lawyers and staff for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office plus any of their family members, as well as the court itself. Merchan also said Trump could talk generally about the jurors but is prohibited from revealing their identities. The ruling is a big win for Trump just two days out from his presidential debate against President Joe Biden given it will allow him to attack his former lawyer Michael Cohen and porn star Stormy Daniels among others.
