Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is facing possible criminal tax proceedings in Germany after being detained at the airport for failing to declare a watch upon arrival in the country. The expensive watch was reportedly intended for a charity auction. Schwarzenegger agreed to prepay potential taxes on the watch after hours of being detained and struggling to use a broken credit card machine. Eventually, a new credit card machine was brought in and the payment was made.
In another legal matter, former President Donald Trump faced a second defamation trial where he denied allegations of sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a New York department store in the 1990s. Carroll took the stand and described the impact of Trump calling her a liar and denying the allegations. Trump's repeated denial after court drew attention and may potentially be used against him in further defamation claims or to support claims for punitive damages.
