Trump must pay $110K, meet conditions to end contempt
A New York judge says heโs close to releasing Donald Trump from a contempt finding, but only if the former president meets certain conditions, including paying $110,000 in fines accrued for failing to turn over documentsin a state civil investigation. Judge Arthur Engoron said Wednesday he will conditionally lift Trumpโs contempt finding if, by May 20, Trump submits additional affidavits detailing efforts to search for records and explaining his and his companyโs document retention policies, a company he hired to aid the search completes its work and he pays the fines. Engoron ruled Trump in contempt on April 25 and fined him $10,000 per day for not complying with a subpoena.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib recounts past death threats in tearful Capitol riot speech on House Floor
The hearing, which detailed the most violent domestic attack on Congress in U.S. history, was emotional for some -- particularly for Rep. Rashida Tlaib from Michigan. Late Thursday night, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., led colleagues in an hourlong session in which Congress members shared their stories from that distressing day. โAnd I feel bad for Alexandria (Ocasio-Cortez) and so many of my colleagues that were here,โ Tlaib said on the House Floor. During her Thursday speech, Tlaib called on members of Congress to rebuke hate speech and urged them do stop downplaying the insurrection. Tlaib isnโt the only member of Congress -- and not even the only one from Michigan -- to receive death threats.
