Former First Lady Melania Trump is unlikely to join her husband, former President Donald Trump, on the campaign trail anytime soon. Sources close to the Trump family indicated that Melania had no intention of making public appearances or speeches to support her husband's political activities [Political Flare].

Trump's legal troubles took center stage as his antics in the courtroom came back to haunt him in a big way following his bizarre post-trial rant. Many were left wondering about his health, as his behavior and speech patterns made him sound considerably older than his actual age [Political Flare].

In a defamation lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of raping her years ago, a judge ruled against Trump’s bid for a new trial. The ruling upheld the previous verdict against Trump, who was ordered to pay Carroll $83 million in damages. Trump's appeal request was denied, with the judge crushing his hopes for a retrial in the case [HuffPost, PoliticalusUSA, VOANews, Hindustan Times].

Despite Trump's attempts to challenge the defamation verdict and seek a new trial, multiple news sources reported that a federal judge rejected his bid, emphasizing that he must pay Carroll the $83.3 million as initially determined [HuffPost, Politico, Seattle Times, Washington Examiner, Mercury News, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Raw Story, CBS News, CNN, OANN, New Republic]. Trump’s request for a new trial was denied, and he was held accountable for the financial damages awarded to Carroll [IB Times, JPost].
