New York judge rules against Trump family, clears way for publication of Mary Trump's book

23 Sept 05:11 Key points summarised by AI

A New York judge rejected the Trump family's attempt to block the publication of Mary Trump's book, "Too Much and Never Enough," scheduled for release.
The judge's ruling cited a lack of "more clarity" in Mary Trump's nondisclosure agreement and affirmed the importance of the First Amendment in protecting political speech.
This decision clears the path for the book's immediate publication, with over 600,000 copies already printed and shipped, making a recall logistically challenging.
The ruling concludes weeks of legal battles initiated by Robert Trump, the president's brother, who sought to prevent the book's release based on a family estate settlement NDA.

Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
