The new revelations — and key questions — in the Trump indictment

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:16:42 GMT

The 16-page indictment against Donald Trump accuses him of 34 felonies for allegedly falsifying business records in a bid to violate campaign finance laws — a bevy of charges setting in motion the first criminal prosecution of a former president in American history.Manhattan prosecutors allege that Trump concealed hush money payments by falsely labeling related transactions as legal expenses and by arranging for a tabloid publisher to bottle up the story of a woman who said she had a sexual relationship with Trump.In doing so, the prosecutors say, Trump repeatedly violated a New York corporate record-keeping law and agreed to break campaign finance laws.All 34 felony charges against Trump are identical, with each carrying the possibility of up to four years in prison, although judges rarely sentence defendants to jail for such offenses.The indictment is a bare-bones document that simply recites the alleged offenses in boiler-plate language. However, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin...

Do French trade unions still hold sway over the street?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:16:42 GMT

French trades unions have fought President Emmanuel Macron to a near standstill on pension reform. They have disrupted the country for more than two months. After a long standoff, trade union leaders are meeting Macron’s chief lieutenant Elisabeth Borne today to discuss the pensions affair.The union leaders enjoy popularity ratings that politicians — both government and opposition — can only dream about. The French unions appear strong, popular and united — for now. They brought out protesting crowds of over 1 million nationwide on three occasions since mid-January. And yet the ferocity of their opposition to a relatively modest reform can be explained partly by their fundamental weakness.Unions are a French paradox — one of many. In Germany or the Netherlands, or even in Britain, the unions have more members and fewer internal divisions. They are more willing to consider arguments about long-term prosperity and the stability of the welfare system. In France, the unions are s...
