Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell are contesting the release of 90,000 pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, arguing that a recent law used to force their disclosure is unconstitutional and violates the separation of powers. The documents, part of a settled defamation case and obtained improperly during a criminal investigation, include depositions and private information about Maxwell and others. The legal dispute follows ongoing revelations about Epstein's sexual abuse and the delayed public access to related records.
Following a Supreme Court decision, President Trump indicated plans to use Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose temporary tariffs, including a 10% tariff on all foreign goods, which would last up to 150 days before requiring Congressional approval. This act, never before invoked, allows the president to impose tariffs quickly during short-term emergencies but limits the duration and tariff levels, contrasting with broader powers under IEEPA. Trump also mentioned utilizing other trade laws, such as Section 301 and Section 232, to enforce tariffs and address unfair trade practices.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump's tariffs, enacted using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), were illegal, stating that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs unilaterally. The court emphasized that the Constitution grants Congress, not the President, the power to levy taxes and duties, and noted the lack of historical precedent for such sweeping tariffs under IEEPA. Following the ruling, Trump announced plans to impose a 10% tariff on all countries, but questions remain about potential refunds to businesses and international responses.

Trump's reaction was aggressive, calling the justices who ruled against him "lap dogs" and vowing to impose a 10% global tariff, while the ruling temporarily halted about $200 billion in tariff revenue.

JPMorgan Chase closed accounts belonging to Donald Trump and his hospitality business in February 2021, shortly after the January 6 Capitol attack, as revealed in documents related to Trump's $5 billion lawsuit against the bank and CEO Jamie Dimon. The bank did not specify reasons for the closures, citing a policy that sometimes the bank determines client relationships are no longer beneficial. Trump's legal team claims the disclosure proves his claims of unlawful de-banking, while JPMorgan argues the case should be moved from Miami to New York.
JPMorgan Chase has admitted in a court filing that it closed President Donald Trump's accounts in February 2021 following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, marking the first official acknowledgment of the account closures. Trump sued the bank for $5 billion, alleging the accounts were closed for political reasons and caused financial harm, with his lawyers claiming the bank placed him on a "reputational blacklist." JPMorgan, which seeks to move the case to New York, has previously denied the allegations and characterized the lawsuit as meritless. This development highlights ongoing legal disputes over "debanking" and its perceived political implications.
