Trump faces legal setbacks as lawsuits against CNN and election lies defense are dismissed

Former President Donald Trump echoed his conduct during his first impeachment by suggesting that aid to Ukraine should be conditioned on congressional investigations into President Joe Biden. Trump called on Republicans in Congress to withhold support for Ukraine until the White House cooperates with their probes into the Bidens' business dealings. Meanwhile, Trump's Super PAC Save America spent $40 million on legal fees in the first half of this year. Trump continues to use his legal woes as a core message in his bid to return to the White House, accusing Biden of using the Justice Department to target him.
