Some news reports have included details about jurors that had been aired in open court. One was excused after she developed concerns about being identified.

Donald J. Trump was turned down when he asked an appeals court — again — to stave off his prosecution on charges that he faked business records to cover up a sex scandal.

In an interview in his chambers and in a new book, the justice, who retired in 2022, discussed Dobbs, originalism and the decline of trust in the court.

The justices’ efforts to remain unified in cases affecting the election are fraying as the former president wins one case and is granted a delay in another.

In civil cases, Donald J. Trump has ordered attorneys around from the defense table and insisted on testifying. The stakes will get higher March 25, when his first criminal case begins.

The ruling in Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud case could cost him all his available cash. The judge said that the former president’s “complete lack of contrition” bordered on pathological.

Across 92 pages, the judge, Arthur F. Engoron, took Mr. Trump to task several times — both for his business practices and his comportment in the courtroom.

As the Supreme Court tries to recapture its authority and legitimacy, it may be tempted to issue a pair of lopsided decisions both for and against the former president.

The judge said that a court clerk had made “foolish and fleeting” comments during Mr. Murdaugh’s trial, but that they did not affect the jury’s verdict that he murdered his wife and son.

If anyone is going to do so, elected representatives must be the ones to forgive Donald Trump.

In a scene captured on video, Deobra Redden, 30, jumped over a courtroom bench onto Judge Mary Kay Holthus as he was about to be sentenced, court officials said.
