Days after he appeared in Manhattan court in a high-profile bribery case involving porn star Stormy Daniels, Donald Trump new adventures await him on another front: investigating his role in an unprecedented aberration on January 6, 2021, when angry followers stormed the Capitol in an attempt to annul the election results, causing bloodshed.

A three-judge panel of a federal appeals court in Washington dismissed an appeal filed by Trump’s lawyers to strike down the former vice president’s subpoena. Mike Pence to testify before the grand jury investigating the case. On that eventful January 6, Pence presided, in his institutional capacity, over the Senate meeting that was called to approve the results of the Electoral College vote that elected the president. Joe Biden. This process is formal under normal circumstances, but Trump insisted that his vice president not confirm the result, which Pence rejected. After being called by the jury, he stated that “we will obey the law and tell the truth”, making clear his intention to testify.

The high-profile case is being investigated by special investigator Jack Smith. At the same time, Smith is investigating Trump’s decision to take with him to his mansion in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, secret documents that were normally supposed to stay in the White House – another case that could land him on trial.

Meanwhile, the lawsuit continued in a lawsuit filed against the former president by 79-year-old former Elle magazine columnist Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her in a department store fitting room in the mid-1990s. Trump’s lawyers questioned the credibility of the plaintiff. , and Judge Lewis Kaplan, who is hearing the case in Manhattan, warned that he could bring additional charges against the ex-president if he continues to publicly comment on the trial.

Trump’s most dangerous potential opponent for the Republican nomination so far, Florida’s governor, has a different kind of legal trouble. Ron de Sandys. Disney, one of Florida’s largest employers and a constant stream of tourists thanks to its theme parks, is suing DeSandis, alleging he got back at the company for its disagreement with a state law banning sexual orientation education for children under the age of 9. .

In February, De Sandys lifted the special status that Disney had enjoyed in his state since the 1960s by reorganizing the board of the autonomous region where the group’s four theme parks are located. Defending their decisions against Israel, where he was visiting, the Florida governor said they were “reacting because they don’t want to be subject to the same laws as the rest of the world or pay the same taxes.”
