Donald Trump defeats Nikki Haley in New Hampshire
Donald Trump's defamation trial in New York is scheduled to resume Thursday morning after being postponed due to concerns about coronavirus infection for both the jury and his defense team.
This thwarted Mr. Trump's plans to testify against his accuser, E. Jean Carroll, who denies sexual assault. That testimony could be released as early as Thursday.
On Tuesday night, the former president celebrated his victory in New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary and mocked his last remaining opponent, Nikki Haley, for refusing to drop out as she tightens her grip on the party. He complained about this.
Trump appeared to threaten the former United Nations ambassador, saying she would be investigated for “things she doesn't want to talk about.”
Meanwhile, the former president lost his latest appeal of the gag order imposed on him by Judge Tanya Chutkan in a federal election interference case brought by Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith.
A three-judge panel had previously upheld the order barring him from speaking about witnesses or court officials.
Eleven judges on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals have now declined to reconsider the issue. Trump could still ask the Supreme Court to consider the issue.
Haley's campaign responds to President Trump's 'angry rant'
Trump devoted part of his victory speech to Haley, complaining that she had not dropped out of the 2024 race and calling it a “very bad night.”
He accused Haley of being a “con artist” who is still “hanging around” despite finishing third in last week's Iowa primary and failing to secure victory in New Hampshire.

President Trump vows to 'get even' with Haley
Instead of thanking voters or praising Haley's performance (something the former U.N. ambassador did in her speech), Trump called Haley a “big flop” and ridiculed her for giving the speech. did.
Joined by former presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Tim Scott, Trump invited Ramaswamy to make his own remarks about Haley, saying, “Say, he's the only person who's angrier than me.'' ” he said.
“But I don't get too angry. I get revenge,” Trump added. This is a threat often used by former presidents.

McConnell is the main reason Trump is back.
Immediately after Donald Trump's victory in New Hampshire, Sen. John Cornyn announced his support for Trump. Why does that matter? Because Cornyn is far from a Trumpist. In fact, the sharp-chinned Republican from Texas negotiated a gun bill with Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy and then-Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema that President Trump vehemently opposed. Today's endorsement of Mr. Cornyn shows that all Republicans, from the far right to the most moderate, are lining up behind the former president.
Indeed, President Trump continues to receive support from Republican leaders, with the exception of one key voice: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Haley says Republican race is 'not over yet'
The former South Carolina governor remained optimistic at his first night rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday, predicting he would draw more delegates than expected from the Granite State.
“This race is not over yet,” Haley told the crowd in Concord, New Hampshire. “There are dozens of states left…and next up is my favorite state, South Carolina.”
He added: “I want to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory tonight. He earned it and I want to recognize that.”
“New Hampshire is the first in the nation, but it won’t be the last in the nation.”

Trump lawyer hits back at comparisons between New York civil fraud case and Martin Shkreli ban
Clifford Robert, attorney for Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump in the Trump Organization civil fraud trial, receives a letter from New York Attorney General Letitia James' office regarding Martin Shkreli's permanent ban from the pharmaceutical industry following the lawsuit against him. responded to the memo.
Prosecutors argue that similar penalties for the Trumps are not unprecedented in the real estate industry.
In a new letter to Judge Arthur Engoron, Robert writes:
The Attorney General's brazen attempt to compare this case to that of Martin Shkreli is ample evidence of her willingness to use her office recklessly in a campaign to destroy the frontrunner for the presidency of the United States. Indeed, this latest salvo reveals her despair and clear dissatisfaction with President Donald J. Trump's (“President Trump”) approach to the White House. If left unchecked, her attorney general's actions will cause irreparable harm to the legal system and New York's business community. Therefore, the Court must and should reject the Attorney General's reliance on Shkreli as misguided and irresponsible.
The absurdity of the Attorney General's recent efforts would be almost comical except for the future grim consequences of her shameless abuse of power. Citing the totally unwarranted Shkreli case, the Attorney General asked this Court to authorize baseless ex-post interference in an undoubtedly successful and profitable business transaction between large, sophisticated corporations. This shocking and tyrannical interference in the free market for political gain puts every business transaction in New York at risk. This court cannot and should not subject our judicial system and New York's business community to such irreparable harm. Under Article 63, Section 12 of the Administrative Law, it is absolutely unacceptable for the Attorney General to scream “fraud” and impose the corporate death penalty without producing any witnesses, complaints, or victims. .

President Trump solidifies Republican control of New Hampshire
Days after the storming of the U.S. Capitol, former President Donald Trump appeared on the verge of becoming a political exile.
Trump's decision to spread the lie that Democrats stole the election from him in order to inflame his supporters to the point where they stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election Trump, especially those who didn't particularly like him. Trump — an opportunity to get off the wagon. It gave them an opportunity to remove the virus of Trumpism, convey to voters that it will not be tolerated in the party, and remain focused on weakening Joe Biden.
But the former president's resounding victory in the New Hampshire primary on January 23, one week after his decisive victory in Iowa, confirmed what has been clear all along: that Donald Trump will win in 2024. He has made it clear that he will be the Republican candidate for the year. Despite facing more than 90 felonies in four different jurisdictions, Trump maintains an iron grip on the Republican Party. New Hampshire was Nikki Haley's best bet against Trump, but the result was so inconclusive that the Associated Press suspended its campaign against Trump shortly after voting closed at 8 p.m.

Summary: Trump on track to victory in New Hampshire primary
The Associated Press made the call shortly after voting ended in the state. As of 8 p.m., the results were less than 20%, with Trump holding a commanding lead over his opponent, Nikki Haley, with 54% of the vote.
The former president, currently the Republican front-runner in 2024, was expected to do well in the Granite State given his control of the Republican majority. But unlike his performance in Iowa last week, Trump's margin of victory on Tuesday was much smaller.
