Donald J. Trump, the former president, is in hot water over his Chicago tower's taxes. The IRS, the tax authority, said&nbsp;he might owe over $100 million, as uncovered by The New York Times and ProPublica. Trump claimed his tower was "worthless" for tax reasons, but now the IRS says he might have been too tricky with his taxes.

Trump's big tower in Chicago was supposed to be a success, but it ended up losing a lot of money because of high costs and the recession. When Trump tried to get some money back through taxes, the IRS said he did it wrong.

<h2>Double trouble: Writing off losses twice</h2>

In 2008, Trump said his tower was a loss and claimed a big tax break. Then in 2010, he tried to get even more money back from the IRS. But the IRS thinks he tried to get money twice for the same problem.

The IRS is now looking into Trump's taxes very closely. If they find he owes money, it could be a huge problem for him. This has been going on for a while, and it's still not clear what will happen.

Tax experts think Trump might have tried to play games with the tax system. If he loses this fight, it could change how taxes work for other people too.

Donald Trump could owe $100 million in taxes, audit finds

Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen is expected to take the witness stand Monday in the former US President's hush money criminal trial. Watch in for more details!

Trump Hush Money Trial: Michael Cohen expected to testify Monday

Barron Trump, the youngest son of Donald Trump, who has remained mostly out of public view as he completes high school, will make his first appearance in the political arena in July, as reported by AFP.

At the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, he will take on the role of delegate alongside his siblings to represent Florida. This convention marks the formal nomination of Donald Trump as the Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election, as delegates from across the nation gather to officially endorse their chosen candidate.

Barron will join his siblings Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump as members of the Florida delegation, according to the state party's announcement.&nbsp;

Earlier this year, Barron was seen standing head and shoulders above his family members at his grandmother's funeral. While residing in the White House during his father's presidency, Barron was meticulously sheltered from public exposure by his mother Melania.

"He's on the delegation roster and Barron is very interested in our nation's political process," a Republican campaign official told ABC News.

Trump's oldest daughter, Ivanka, isn't going to the convention in Florida as a delegate. She worked with her husband Jared Kushner as a top advisor when her father was president before.

Trump's sons, Don Jr. and Eric, are usually with him and often join him on the campaign trail to help him get re-elected.

Trump is making sure his family has more power in the party before the election. In March, they chose Lara, who is married to Eric, to be in charge of&nbsp;the Republican National Committee.

The ex-president has been given a break from his legal proceedings in New York to be present at Barron's graduation next Friday.

<h2>Stormy Daniels testifies</h2>

In a much-awaited segment of the hush-money trial, Stormy Daniels shared details of her alleged affair with Donald Trump, recounting their intimate moments together, including a 2006 encounter in a Lake Tahoe hotel suite. This testimony unfolded in open court on Tuesday morning (May 7) in Manhattan.

"He was wearing silk or satin pajamas that I immediately made fun of," Daniels said as a prosecutor questioned her about the encounter. "'Does Hugh Hefner know you stole his pajamas?'" she recalled asking Trump.

Her detailed and explicit testimony provided new insights into a story that has been extensively scrutinised over the years.&nbsp;

The judge presiding over Donald Trump's criminal trial&nbsp;fined him $1,000 on Monday (May 6), for breaching the gag order for the tenth time.

Justice Juan Merchan cautioned that he would contemplate incarcerating Trump for any subsequent infractions. Merchan noted that the nine fines of $1,000 each imposed previously did not appear to dissuade Trump from violating the gag order, which prohibits him from publicly discussing jurors, witnesses, and the families of the judge and prosecutors if such remarks try to interfere with the case.

Merchan stated that he saw jail time as "truly the last resort" for several reasons, including the trial's disruption, the political implications of imprisoning a leading presidential candidate before an election, and the exceptional security challenges of detaining a former president with ongoing Secret Service protection.

Nonetheless, he said that Trump's persistent and deliberate violations of the gag order amounted to a "direct attack on the rule of law."

“I do not want to impose a jail sanction and have done everything I can to avoid doing so. But I will if necessary,” Merchan said from the bench in the absence of the jury.

US Presidential Debate 2024: Biden agrees to debate Trump after months of evasion

Trump challenged Biden to a debate, expressing openness to various formats, including one in a courthouse. Despite skipping GOP candidate debates earlier, he's keen on debating Biden before the 2024 election.

"Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he’s willing to debate! Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters," Trump posted on&nbsp;Truth Social.

"I suggest Monday Evening, Tuesday Evening, or Wednesday Evening at my Rally in Michigan, a State that he is in the process of destroying with his E.V. Mandate," he further wrote.

During an interview with radio host Howard Stern on Friday, Biden stated that he is willing to debate Trump.

"I am, somewhere, I don’t know when, but I am happy to debate him,” Biden said in the interview.&nbsp;

If the proposed dates are not feasible, Trump suggested holding the debate at the New York courthouse where he is facing trial for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments to a former Playboy Playmate and an adult film actress before the 2016 election.

"In the alternative, he’s in New York City today, although probably doesn’t know it, and so am I, stuck in one of the many Court cases that he instigated as ELECTION INTERFERENCE AGAINST A POLITICAL OPPONENT - A CONTINUING WITCH HUNT! It’s the only way he thinks he can win," Trump wrote.

"In fact, let’s do the Debate at the Courthouse tonight - on National Television, I’ll wait around!", he added.

Trump previously stated he's willing to campaign from the courthouse, seeing it as feasible.

He's using his New York trial to raise campaign funds, occasionally giving short speeches at news conferences. Trump will spend four days a week in court for several weeks.

"In the alternative, he’s in New York City today, although probably doesn’t know it, and so am I, stuck in one of the many Court cases that he instigated as ELECTION INTERFERENCE AGAINST A POLITICAL OPPONENT - A CONTINUING WITCH HUNT! It’s the only way he thinks he can win," Trump wrote. "In fact, let’s do the Debate at the Courthouse tonight - on National Television, I’ll wait around!", he added. Trump previously stated he's willing to campaign from the courthouse, seeing it as feasible. He's using his New York trial to raise campaign funds, occasionally giving short speeches at news conferences. Trump will spend four days a week in court for several weeks.

US: Donald Trump offers to debate Joe Biden from courthouse

US Supreme Court in Washington is hearing a matter on whether former US President and 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump can assert immunity in a federal election subversion case related to his alleged role in inciting the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

During the proceedings, Justice Sonya Sotomayor posed a question about whether a scenario where the president labels his opponent as corrupt and instructs the military to assassinate them would qualify as an official act protected by immunity.

In a shocking response, Trump's Attorney D John Sauer responded that it could potentially be considered an "official act" depending on the specifics of the hypothetical situation.

Earlier this year, the court delivered a win for Trump by overturning a decision that sought to exclude him from Colorado's ballot. This comes as Trump is also facing trial in New York's Manhattan court regarding a hush money payment to adult star Stormy Daniels in 2016.&nbsp;

Because of his presence in Manhattan court, the Republican candidate will not be present at the Supreme Court as it hears the arguments by Trump's lawyers and Special Counsel Jack Smith.&nbsp;

Trump's legal team earlier contended that his attempts to overturn the 2020 election constitute "official acts" carried out while in office. With a conservative majority of 6-3 on the court, including three justices appointed by Trump, the decision will hold immense importance and will set a precedent in such future cases.

Supreme Court's conservative majority comprises three justices appointed by Trump - Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh. The outcome of the Supreme Court case would not impact the ongoing hush-money trial in New York, which focuses on actions before Trump's presidency.

In a filing to the justices earlier, Trump's lawyers argued for his&nbsp;immunity from criminal prosecution&nbsp;and warned that without such protection, the threat of future prosecution could be exploited as a political tool to influence presidential decisions.

Meanwhile, ex-tabloid executive David Pecker has testified in the hush money trial, where a key evidence is a $130,000 payment made by Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels. In the hush money trial, prosecutors must present evidence of intent as Trump faces 34 counts in this trial alone.

Trump is the first former US president to face criminal prosecution in the hush money case. Notably, Trump maintains his innocence in this case and three other criminal proceedings.&nbsp;

<h2>E Jean Carroll case</h2>

In New York, a judge has rejected former President Trump's appeal for a fresh trial in a defamation lawsuit brought by writer E Jean Carroll. Carroll had accused Trump of tarnishing her reputation and hindering her professional life.

This ruling upholds the jury's decision to award $83.3 million in damages, a significant legal setback for the former president who faces numerous legal challenges.&nbsp;
