Donald Trump has settled a lawsuit filed by a group of Mexican protesters who say they were defrauded by the Republican’s private security guards during his 2015 presidential campaign.

The two sides settled when a jury was selected in a New York courtroom for a civil trial, one of several legal entanglements involving the former president.

Details of the settlement in the protesters’ lawsuit were not disclosed.

“Extraordinary misdeeds require extraordinary relief,” the lawsuit said. “As set forth below, James has repeatedly abused her position as New York State Attorney General to wage a ruthless, pernicious, public and brazen crusade against President Trump, a resident of Palm Beach County, Florida, with the stated aim of destroying him personally, financially and politically.”

Mr Trump alleges that the New York Attorney General is violating his privacy by asking for details of his trust.

It comes after Ms. James filed a civil lawsuit against Mr. Trump and his family members last month for alleged financial fraud.

Lawyers who aided former President Donald Trump’s efforts to reverse the results of the 2020 election have seen an appeal to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a “key” to their success, according to emails provided to congressional investigators. and were made public on Wednesday.

The December 2020 emails show the attorneys discussing ways to delay certification of results in Georgia, a heavily contested state won by Democrat Joe Biden. An attorney, Kenneth Chesebro, suggested that appealing to Thomas, as the judge handling emergency calls from Georgia, “could ultimately be the key here.”

“We want to frame things in such a way that Thomas can be the one to issue some sort of residency or other circuit justice advice stating that Georgia has legitimate doubts,” Chesebro wrote. “Realistically, our only chance of getting a favorable legal opinion by Jan. 6, which could hold up the Georgia census in Congress, is from Thomas.”
