Trump demands death penalty for all murder cases in Washington
WASHINGTON — Speaking during a cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said his government will seek the death penalty for all murders in Washington, DC, as part of a crackdown on crime in the capital."We’re going to be seeking the death penalty," Trump said, calling capital punishment a “very strong preventative.”Most murders in Washington are prosecuted under local law in DC Superior Court, where the harshest punishment prosecutors can seek is life in prison.Proseutors can bring murder charges to federal court in certain conditions, and federal laws then establish if a crime is eligible for the death penalty.DC and nearly two dozen states have abolished the death penalty.According to the Death Penalty Information Center, studies have...

Trump threatens to deploy troops to Baltimore to 'clean up' crime
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has threatened to deploy troops to Baltimore, escalating a clash with Maryland Governor Wes Moore after the Democrat invited him to join a "safety walk" in the city."If Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the 'troops,' which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime," Trump wrote on social media.The comments mark the latest flashpoint in the president's efforts to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-led cities as part of what he calls a crackdown on crime.The use of military personnel for domestic law enforcement has drawn fierce backlash from Democrats.

Appeals court throws out Trump's $500m civil fraud penalty
NEW YORK — An appeals court has thrown out a $500m (£372m) penalty that US President Donald Trump was ordered to pay in a New York civil fraud trial last year.Judge Arthur Engoron had ordered Trump to pay the fee for massively inflating the value of the Trump Organization's properties in order to secure favourable loans.In the lengthy ruling released on Thursday, judges on the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division stated that while Trump was liable for the fraud, the fine of nearly half a billion dollars was excessive and probably violated constitutional protections against severe punishment.In the case Judge Engoron had ordered Trump to pay $355m, but with interest, that grew to more than $500m."While harm certainly occurred, it was not the cataclysmic harm that can...
