In February, Justice Arthur Engoron hit the former president, his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr, and top executives at the Trump Organization with the multi-million-dollar judgment after finding that they lied to banks and insurers by inflating his net worth in order to secure more favorable loans.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has again blocked a Biden Administration plan to forgive some borrowers’ student loan debt. A Friday evening ruling from the court enjoined its previous ruling, barring the “United States Secretary of Education from implementing a plan to forgive approximately $475 billion in federal student loan debt,” called SAVE. The court previously issued an administrative stay to pause SAVE on July 19, but the court said the “Government continues to forgive loans for borrowers enrolled in SAVE,” according to NPR. But, on Friday, the court upped the ante, blocking the program altogether by writing: “this injunction will remain in effect until further order of this court or the Supreme Court of the United States. The administrative stay is hereby superseded.” The decision was delivered by two Trump appointees, Judges Ralph Erickson and L. Steven Grasz, and a Bush appointed judge named Raymond Gruender.

ATLANTA (AP) — The new judge presiding over the racketeering and gang prosecution of rapper Young Thug and several other defendants said Friday she plans to move forward expeditiously with the trial, which has already dragged on for more than a year. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Paige Reese Whitaker held a hearing with prosecutors and defense attorneys to understand any pending issues she needed to address and lay down some ground rules. Whitaker received the case after the first judge overseeing it, Chief Judge Ural Glanville, was removed. Two defendants had sought his recusal, citing a meeting the judge held with prosecutors and a state witness.  Jury selection began in January 2023 and took nearly 10 months. Opening statements were in November, and the prosecution has been presenting its case since then, calling dozens of witnesses.
