Deep dives
Second Republican debate takes place without Trump
The second Republican debate took place without former President Trump, who opted to visit a manufacturing plant in Michigan instead. The debate included seven out of the eight candidates who participated in the first debate. UAW President Sean Fane, who met with President Biden, criticized Trump for holding a rally at a non-union business, but Trump argued that those jobs would eventually be outsourced to China.
New York judge rules Trump committed fraud with overvalued assets
A New York judge ruled that former President Trump repeatedly committed fraud by inflating asset values. The judge valued the Mar-a-Lago resort at $18 to $27 million, while some experts estimate its value between $160 to $300 million. Trump condemned the ruling, accusing the judge of political bias and claiming the lawsuit was part of Democrat-driven lawfare.
