Michael Cohen’s Testimony and the Legal Reckoning of Donald Trump: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Hush Money Trial
Hush Money Trial: In a landmark moment in American legal and political history, former President Donald J. Trump was convicted on May 30, 2024, of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The conviction stemmed from a scheme to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Central to the prosecution’s case was the testimony of Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, who asserted that he acted at Trump's direction to suppress damaging information that could have influenced the election outcome.
The Supreme Court’s Pivotal Role in Defining Presidential Immunity: A Comprehensive Analysis
The United States Supreme Court's recent engagement with cases involving former President Donald Trump has reignited debates surrounding the extent of presidential immunity and the balance of powers within the federal government. Notably, the Court's intervention in halting the deportation of Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act marked a significant moment in the judiciary's assertion of authority over executive actions.

The Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump: A Comprehensive Legal and Political Analysis
On December 18, 2019, the United States House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump on two charges: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. This marked only the third time in American history that a sitting president had been impeached, following Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998. The impeachment stemmed from allegations that President Trump solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election by pressuring Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Furthermore, it was alleged that President Trump obstructed the congressional investigation into this matter by directing executive branch officials to defy subpoenas and withhold documents.
