Eric Trump claims Putin could tell Donald Trump was 'a very strong person'
Donald Trump and his children — Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump — have filed an appeal in their fight against the New York attorney general’s attempt to depose them as part of a civil investigation into the Trump Organization. Their lawyers argued that a lower court erred by denying the Trumps’ request to quash their subpoenas for testimony.
The former president began his week with a bizarre phone interview on Fox Business in the course of which he referred to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threats as “the n-word”, dismissed climate change as “a thing called weather”, and insisted he would continue running on the supposed theft of the 2020 election despite the host’s suggestion it could hurt Republicans at the polls.
His excitable Monday morning comes after an event in Florida over the weekend during which he appeared to promise a return to the White House.
Following his remarks, Republican US Rep Liz Cheney warned that Mr Trump could face criminal penalties over attacks on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.

A Capitol riot suspect who fled the US has reportedly been granted asylum in Belarus.
Evan Neumann, 48, a resident of California, is wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection, when former president Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol Hill to oppose Joe Biden’s election as president.
Mr Neumann sold his house and left the US after he got wind of the charges. He fled first to Ukraine and then crossed over on foot to Belarus in August.

1648016138 US ends Trump-era tariffs on UK steel
The US and Britain ended a four year dispute over US steel and aluminum tariffs on Tuesday as they pledged to work together.
In a joint statement, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and US Trade Representative Katherine Tai said the deal would protect steel and aluminum companies - and their workers - in both countries, allowing the allies to focus on what they say are “China’s unfair trade practices.”
The Trump administration had imposed the tariffs of 10 per cent on aluminum and 25 per cent on steel in March 2018 under the Section 232 national security law to protect US producers from a flood of subsidized imports.

1648012024 Guiliani ‘absorbed lesson of Russian disinformation’ from Trump, says Yovanovitch
Rudy Giuliani “completely absorbed the lesson of Russian disinformation” while working for then-president Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 US election, wrote former ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch in her new memoir, reported Business Insider.
“Giuliani saw [Volodymyr] Zelensky’s interest in meeting with Trump as an opportunity to move forward with his plan to portray Joe Biden as corrupt,” she wrote in her book Lessons from the Edge, in an apparent reference to Mr Trump’s attempt of extorting the Ukrainian president for political dirt on Joe Biden.
The revelation that the then-president was secretly linking military aid to opening an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden, his son, led to Mr Trump’s first impeachment by the House of Representatives.
“If Ukraine’s president would announce that his government planned to investigate Biden, Trump and Giuliani could run with the narrative that Biden must be corrupt; why else would Ukraine be investigating,” she wrote.
“What was becoming clearer too was that Giuliani was focused on the announcement of an investigation rather than an actual investigation.”
“Apparently, he had completely absorbed the lesson of Russian disinformation: the allegation can be just as damaging as the action, and it’s easier, quicker and cheapest to deploy.”

1648004446 Trump lawyers claim judge abused discretion in forcing testimony
Donald Trump’s lawyers say a New York judge abused his discretion with a decision last month requiring the former president to answer questions under oath in a civil investigation into his business practices.
In papers filed Monday in a state appeals court, Trump’s lawyers said Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron failed to properly weigh constitutional and ethical concerns that they’d raised about New York Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation.
Lawyers for Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., want the appellate division of the state’s trial court to overturn Engoron’s Feb. 17 ruling and invalidate James’ subpoenas seeking their testimony.
