    Judge Aileen Cannon’s jury instruction order could crush Trump’s classified documents case

    U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is at it again. Her latest weird move in Donald Trump’s classified documents case involves jury instructions.

    Trump’s failure to secure a bond could put his New York properties on the chopping block

    Former President Donald Trump doesn’t have the cash he needs to stop the state of New York from potentially seizing his assets.

His team spent “countless hours” negotiating with some 30 entities that could finance the roughly half-a-billion-dollar bond he’s on the hook...
