'Trump: Convicted Felon' headline goes viral
US President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland on Saturday for a five-day controversial visit to the UK and Europe, a Scottish local newspaper made global headlines with a daring front page carrying a message, "Convicted US Felon to Arrive in Scotland."

The sensational cover instantly went viral on the internet, sparking both criticism and applause across political lines around the globe. In spite of the uproar, Trump is pushing ahead with his agenda. Also Read | Why is Trump in Scotland and why has his visit sparked backlash? Local paper's front-page viral While the viral front-page grabs global attention, the spotlight returns to Trump's indictments from May 2024. Here's a quick look at the charges facing the US president. New York Business Fraud Case In May 2024, Donald Trump was convicted on all charges in a New York case of business fraud. Prosecutors alleged that he had masked payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen—who had used $130,000 in suspected hush money to pay adult film star Stormy Daniels—to appear as legal expenses, breaching state law. Trump had denied the tryst and said the payments were lawful. Florida Classified Documents Case Trump is charged with illegally storing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago mansion after leaving office. Prosecutors allege the documents were stored in unsecured locations such as a bathroom and ballroom, and that Trump attempted to hide their possession. He has denied everything. 2020 Election Interference (Federal Case) Trump is accused of attempting to reverse the 2020 election outcome by perpetrating false allegations of election fraud and working to prevent the peaceful transfer of power, actions prosecutors attribute to the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Trump rejects any involvement in violence or conspiracy. Georgia Election Interference Case In Georgia, Trump and 18 others are accused under RICO charges of conspiring to reverse the results of the state's 2020 election. The case revolves around Trump's taped call asking officials to "find 11,780 votes." Trump denies the charges and says the call was rightful.

Pakistan says it's close to U.S. trade deal, Washington gives no timeline
Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Friday (July 26, 2025) the United States and Pakistan were "very close" to a trade deal that could come within days, but comments from the U.S. after Mr. Dar met with Secretary of State Marco Rubio mentioned no timeline. Also Read | Pakistan says it held productive trade talks in Washington "I think we are very close to finalising a deal with U.S. Our teams have been here in Washington, discussing, having virtual meetings and a committee has been tasked by the prime minister to fine-tune now," Mr. Dar said in a discussion at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington. "It's not going to be months, not even weeks, I would say (just) days," he said. Under U.S. President Donald Trump, Washington has attempted to renegotiate trade agreements with many countries that he threatened with tariffs over what he calls unfair trade relations. Many economists dispute Mr. Trump's characterization. The U.S. State Department and Pakistan's Foreign Ministry, in separate statements after Mr. Rubio's meeting with Mr. Dar, said the two stressed in their discussion the importance of expanding trade and ties in critical minerals and mining. A post by Mr. Rubio on X after the meeting and the State Department's statement mentioned no timeline for finalizing a trade deal. The Pakistan Foreign Ministry also said Mr. Dar "appreciated the pivotal role" by Mr. Trump and Mr. Rubio "in de-escalating tensions between Pakistan and India by facilitating a ceasefire." The State Department statement did not mention India. Mr. Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire he announced on social media on May 10 after Washington held talks with both sides. India disputes Mr. Trump's claims that the ceasefire resulted from his intervention and trade threats.

'Manifests savarn and shudras': MP HC flags 'caste system' in judiciary; calls out feudal mindset
MP high court NEW DELHI: The Madhya Pradesh high court has made strong observations on the existing structure of the judiciary in the state, comparing the relationship between high court judges and district judges to that of "feudal lord and serf. " The court also criticised what it described as a "caste system" within the judicial setup, where high court judges are seen as "savarn" and district judges as "shudras" and "les misérables." A division bench of Justices Atul Sreedharan and D K Paliwali made these remarks in its order dated July 14, while allowing a petition filed by Jagat Mohan Chaturvedi, a former special court judge. Chaturvedi had challenged his termination from service in 2015, which followed his decisions on bail pleas in the Vyapam scam and other cases. He had granted bail to some and denied relief to others, and was later accused of holding divergent views on similar matters. The court said, "At a subliminal level, the penumbra of the caste system manifests in the judicial structure in this state where those in the high court are the savarn and the shudras are the les Misérables of the District Judiciary." "The dismal relationship between the judges of the high court and the judges of the District Judiciary is one between a feudal lord and serf. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The feudal state of mind that still exists in the state, results in its manifestation in the judiciary also," the bench said. The court noted that such a structure creates fear and a sense of inferiority among district judges. It said, "Experience at Bar gives this Court the wisdom to arrive at the opinion that the District Judiciary functions under the perpetual fear of the high court. Like this case, where the Petitioner was terminated from service on account of passing bail orders in favour of the applicants, the message that goes down to the District Judiciary by such acts of the High Court is that acquittals recorded in major cases or bails granted by the Courts below the High Court, can result in adverse action against Judges passing such orders, though they are judicial orders. " It added, "It is precisely cases like this that result in a large number of bail applications pending before the high court as also the criminal appeals." The bench also observed that "instances of the judges of the district judiciary personally attending to judges of the high court are commonplace as also the latter not offering a seat to the former, thereby perpetuating a colonial decadence with a sense of entitlement." On Chaturvedi's dismissal, the court said the case shows a "malady that cannot be addressed effectively on account of the social structure existing in the State, which also manifests in the judiciary." It said the termination affirms the belief that trial court judges may face consequences for granting relief to accused persons. The order of Chaturvedi's dismissal was issued on October 19, 2015. His appeal was dismissed on August 1, 2016. The division bench has now quashed the termination order and imposed a cost of Rs 5 lakh on the state government through the principal secretary, Law and Legislative Department, and the MP high court registrar general. The court said Chaturvedi had to face humiliation in society without any evidence of corruption presented against him.
