Where things stand in the Trump criminal investigations
CNN
Former President Donald Trump left the White House four months ago, but he didn't leave his legal troubles behind, and in recent weeks there have been new indications that some of the criminal investigations involving Trump are intensifying.
The biggest clue came Tuesday, when the Washington Post reported that state prosecutors in New York City convened a special grand jury in the years-long investigation into possible financial wrongdoing by the Trump Organization, the former President himself, and his family. There's also the Atlanta-based probe into Trump's efforts to overturn the election results in Georgia, and the far-reaching inquiry into the US Capitol insurrection, which could ensnarl Trump and his allies.The US began pulling military equipment and additional personnel out of Niger on Friday after waiting months for the ruling military junta to approve US military flights into the country, two sources familiar with the matter said Saturday, ahead of a September 15 withdrawal deadline agreed to by the two countries.
The judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York on Friday informed the former president’s defense team and prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office that a comment was posted on the New York State Unified Court Systems’ public Facebook page last week by a poster who claimed to be a cousin of a juror, saying that Trump would be convicted.
