Trump’s Madison Square Garden event features crude and racist insults

Donald Trump has hosted a rally featuring crude and racist insults at New York's Madison Square Garden, turning what his campaign had dubbed as the event where he would deliver his closing message into an illustration of what turns off his critics. With just over a week before Election Day, speakers at the rally on Sunday night (Monday morning AEDT) labelled Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage", called Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris "the devil", and said the woman vying to become the first woman and Black woman president had begun her career as a prostitute. "I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.

Rudy Giuliani must give control of luxury items and Manhattan apartment to Georgia election workers he defamed, judge rules

A US federal judge has ordered former Donald Trump attorney and New York mayor Rudy Giuliani to turn over all his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse apartment to the control of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the Georgia election workers he defamed and to whom he now owes $US150 million ($224 million).

The judge's turnover order of the luxury items is swift and simple, but the penthouse apartment will have its control transferred so Freeman and Moss can sell it, potentially for millions of dollars. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani departs the US District Courthouse after he was...
