Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones says he’s hopeful the economy will avoid a recession, despite the RBA’s “aggressive” interest rate tightening cycle; how Donald Trump’s court appearance unfolded. Follow updates here.
Donald Trump was accompanied by two of his attorneys on Tuesday when he appeared in a Miami courtroom and pleaded not guilty to federal criminal charges. But his defence team is still evolving after at least three key members left in recent weeks.
Trump pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that he unlawfully kept national security documents when he left office and lied to officials who sought to recover them. He was charged last week.Kise, a former Florida solicitor general who has primarily handled civil cases, was brought on to Trump’s team last year after the FBI seized classified documents kept at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
Trump has struggled in recent weeks to bolster his defence team as the documents investigation intensified. Two attorneys who spoke with Reuters said they turned down requests to represent the former president in the documents case. Days before Trump was indicted, Trusty, Rowley and Halligan met with US Justice Department officials in a last-ditch plea to avoid an indictment. The day the indictment was unsealed, the pair abruptly announced their resignation from Trump’s legal team.
