On Monday, a state appeals court in New York ruled that Donald Trump only needed to post a $175 million bond in his civil fraud case – less than half of what had been due. The next day, Trump began selling branded copies of the Bible to his supporters in his latest grift. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's campaign received a boost when he was joined Thursday by two of his Democratic predecessors for a star-studded fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall that his campaign said brought in more than $26 million.
Less than 24 hours after getting hit with a partial gag order in New York in his criminal hush money case, Trump repeatedly lashed out at someone who's not covered by the ruling — the judge. Meanwhile in Georgia, Trump's lawyers argued in court that the former president's statements included in the Fulton County indictment were protected under the First Amendment, and therefore the case should be thrown out.
Early Tuesday in Baltimore, two people were killed and four others are presumed dead after a cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to collapse. The salvage operation to remove the mangled steel and concrete began Friday, and Biden plans to visit Baltimore this week.
At the Supreme Court on Tuesday, several justices appeared skeptical of arguments to limit access to the abortion pill mifepristone, which is widely used in the U.S.
