Trump faces backlash over false claims about courthouse staff.

Donald Trump is suing his former lawyer Michael Cohen, while claiming that New York court staff were "crying" when he was arrested and arraigned over hush money payment. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has filed a lawsuit aimed at stopping Jim Jordan, the Trump-aligned chair of the House Judiciary Committee, from interfering with his investigation into the former president's hush money payments. Meanwhile, a judge in Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6bn defamation case against Fox News may appoint a "special master" to help determine whether the news company withheld key information and evidence.
