Though much of the proceeding was carefully scripted and choreographed, a significant point of tension immediately emerged: How soon will Trump stand trial?

Donald Trump was indicted on Tuesday (1 August) for his wide-ranging attempts to overturn the 2020 election, the third time in four months that the former US president has been criminally charged even as he campaigns to regain the presidency next year.
The four-count, 45-page indictment charges Republican Trump with conspiring to defraud the US by preventing Congress from certifying Democrat Joe Biden’s victory and to deprive voters of their right to a fair election.
Then-President Trump pushed fraud claims
The indictment identified six individuals as co-conspirators in Trump’s effort to overturn the election, but none of those people were charged Tuesday. Though the alleged co-conspirators were not named, the descriptions correspond to a cabal of Trump lawyers who embraced increasingly fringe strategies as Trump’s bid to remain in power faltered.

The draft Supreme Court opinion overturning the constitutional right to abortion presents a major setback for reproductive freedom in America and offers a potential jolt to the upcoming midterm elections. But it also illuminates another, deeper phenomenon in American politics: the urgency and ambition of the Republican drive to lock into law the cultural priorities of its preponderantly white, Christian, and older electoral coalition at a moment of rapid demographic change.

The US Supreme Court looks set to overturn a landmark ruling that effectively legalised abortions across America, handing the power to decide whether or not to permit the procedure back to individual states.
A draft legal opinion, which was leaked to Politico, reveals a majority of the court’s nine judges are in agreement on the issue which would be enough to force a change in the law – though their decision is not final until the ruling is officially published.
Novak Djokovic has failed to convince three senior judges of his right to stay in Melbourne to compete in the Australian Open and will be deported – after the government’s lawyers argued he’d become an ‘icon’ for anti-vaxxers.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion said he was ‘disappointed’ his last ditch attempt to stay and compete for the title in the Federal Court on Sunday was fruitless.

The US government has won its High Court bid to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Assange, 50, is wanted in America over an alleged conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information following WikiLeaks’s publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
A US grand jury indicted him on 18 charges last year – 17 of which fall under the Espionage Act.
Assange’s lawyers claim he faces up to 175 years in jail
