NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s myriad of legal problems have intensified after a whirlwind week of lawsuits and court decisions that went against the embattled former president — including a civil suit filed by the New York attorney general that partly seeks to prohibit him or his adult children from ever running a company in their home state again.
It was just one of several new setbacks for Trump, as the probe into his handling of classified documents continues and unsealed court papers revealing that a writer already suing him for defamation plans to file a second lawsuit alleging he raped her, under a historic new law passed by New York legislators.
The new week only promises to bring more troubles for Trump. The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection of the U.S. Capitol indicated the final televised hearing set for Wednesday will be an explosive event featuring new witness testimony.
