Former President Donald Trump used his time on the witness stand yesterday to engage in several attacks against the judge and lawyers whom he maintained were "unfair" in a $250 million civil fraud trial that could lead to the dismantling of his business empire. "You and every other Democrat … coming after me from 15 different sides … all haters," Trump said to an attorney questioning him.

"He rambled, he hurled insults, but we expected that," she told reporters about his testimony. Trump said the case should be "immediately dismissed." There's no jury, so the judge will be the one who ultimately decides the outcome of the trial. Here's the latest. |

After undergoing treatment for cervical cancer seven years ago, Jenna Bosi experienced pain, heavy bleeding, three miscarriages and several abnormal pap smears.

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
What's up, Prince William?! The Prince of Wales' newest little fan was so excited to meet the British royal during a recent trip to Singapore, he gave him a baby bro hug and wouldn't let go. In a video shared to X, William stops to chat with the parents of 8-month-old Albane Costa. While he was asking them if Albane has been sleeping OK, the little boy grabbed his finger and gobbled it up. While William's own three children are past that stage, he certainly remembers those days. "He's biting my finger," a good-natured William teased. "I need my finger back!" See the adorable moment here. |
