Trump Organization Sues Amazon, Walmart, eBay Sellers For Marketing 'Inferior Imitations' Of Trump Merch
Trump Organization has filed a lawsuit against several unnamed merchandise sellers on popular marketplaces for allegedly marketing counterfeit Trump-branded products. What Happened: The Trump Organization, owned by President Donald Trump, has accused multiple online sellers, including retail giants like Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), and eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY), of selling 'inferior imitations' of Trump-branded merchandise, reported Fortune. The lawsuit was filed in a U.S. District Court in Florida on Friday. Around 9,000 Amazon sellers earned nearly $140 million from Trump merchandise sales in the months before the election, per Omnisend data. Trending: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics—now it's your turn to The lawsuit accuses the defendants of 'improperly advertising, marketing, and/or selling unauthorized and illegal products infringing upon at least a portion of plaintiffs' Trump trademarks.' The decision by the Trump Organization to sue these sellers has sparked controversy among legal experts due to its choice of a Schedule A case. Schedule A cases have become popular among trademark lawyers as they permit the plaintiff to sue a broad range of defendants without naming specific entities, often bypassing costly filing fees. This approach also grants considerable power to the judge's discretion. Legal experts have voiced concerns that Schedule A's broad grouping of defendants could lead to smaller vendors being penalized similarly to large-scale operations. Sarah Fackrell, an intellectual property law professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law, warned about due process issues and the risk of defendants being "railroaded."Why It Matters: This lawsuit comes at a time when the Trump brand is expanding its global presence. Earlier this month, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:DJT) launched its TV streaming service, Truth+, worldwide. The company also operates the Truth Social social media platform. In June, Donald Trump Jr., the executive vice president of The Trump Organization, defended his father's financial gains from a family-owned cryptocurrency company, stating that "he doesn't touch it." This followed the disclosure of a $57.7 million income from World Liberty Financial. In April, Donald Trump's online store began selling merchandise branded with "Trump 2028," despite the constitutional prohibition on a third term presidency. This move raised eyebrows and sparked debates about the family's future political plans. Read Next: $100k+ in investable assets?

Snooki reunites with cop who arrested her for being drunk on 'Jersey Shore'
"What did you think when you saw me being disgusting on the beach?" Snooki is taking it back to when the Polizzi met the police. 15 years ago, Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was arrested for public drunkenness while strolling the titular strand of commercialized New Jersey coastline. Now taking fans back to one of the most sensational moments in reality TV history by reuniting with the cop who arrested her. "Alright TikTok, it's happening - my anniversary of getting arrested on the beach is coming up this week!" the 37-year-old TV personality proclaimed in a video shared on Monday. In order to drum up buzz for a new line of arrest-themed apparel dropping at her Seaside Heights, N.J. merch store, Polizzi then announced, "I'm also seeing again the cop that arrested me. I haven't seen him since that fateful day where he did arrest me. I haven't seen him since, so it's going to be a little reunion today at the Snooki shop." On the 2010 episode of the reality series' 3rd season, the motley cast of beach rats descended on the shore, with Polizzi characteristically outdrinking the group, and expectedly, not handling it very well. Polizzi is seen falling over, yelling expletives, and crying out, "Where is beach!" despite walking directly toward it. Before she knew it, she was being arrested by a police officer who'd been contracted by Jersey Shore network MTV to help keep the peace. She was eventually charged with disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, and criminal annoyance. "It was just like, 'Alright, she's getting out of hand. If this was anybody else, we would arrest them.' So they had to arrest me. I was nuts,'" she admitted to PEOPLE in a Wednesday interview. In her first of two TikTok videos chronicling the reunion with Officer Joe Fastige, Polizzi asked her former arresting officer, "That day, what was going through your mind? What did you think when you saw me being disgusting on the beach?" For the first time, Fastige was able to provide his side of events, which ended up being touchingly sympathetic toward Polizzi. "Not disgusting," he reassured her, "just having a little bit of fun. Too much fun, but that's okay. Honestly, I don't know. I was 21 years old at the time... a baby cop, a year out of the academy, and I was getting paid a little bit of overtime to kind of watch you guys." Fastige corroborated Polizzi's memory that "a bystander was like, 'We wouldn't allow anyone else to do this right now'... and then I did what I had to do. But it's okay, everyone makes mistakes. Everyone gets a little bit too drink and [forgets] where the beach is, even if the beach is right under your feet," he joked."He was very nice. We did funny little TikToks of reminiscing and reenacting him arresting me. But he's a nice guy," Polizzi told PEOPLE. She also explained that even then, she wouldn't let all the backlash from viewers critical of her behavior on the show get to her: "I never took myself seriously, thank God, so when people talked about me bad or made fun of me, I'm just like, 'Whatever, let me live.'"

US city councilman set on fire in workplace attack
A city councilman in Virginia has been seriously injured when a man stormed into his office at a local magazine, doused him in petrol and set him on fire. Authorities said the attack was rooted in a personal dispute, not politics. Lee Vogler, 38, who has served on the Danville City Council for more than a decade, was taken by medical helicopter to a burn unit in North Carolina after the attack on Wednesday. 3:55 p.m. 7/30/25 UPDATE: The Danville Police Department has charged Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, with attempted first degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding following the attack by burning Wednesday, July 30, on Lee Vogler. (1/2) — Danville VA Police (@DanvilleVAPD) July 30, 2025 Police said the assailant, Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, forced his way into Vogler's office at Showcase Magazine, confronted him, then chased him outside and set him ablaze. Hayes was arrested at the scene on charges of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding. Investigators stressed the motive appeared personal and unrelated to Vogler's work as a public official. Still, the assault added to growing unease over violence and harassment aimed at elected officials across the country, particularly as the boundaries blur between their public roles and private lives. "There is no justification for lashing out," said Andrew Scott Brooks, publisher of the magazine. "This type of act of senseless violence needs to stop." Two employees were in the building when the attack occurred, Brooks said. According to police and witnesses, Vogler ran through the office yelling for help after being doused in petrol. A colleague called for help as Hayes chased Vogler outside and ignited the fire, the publisher said. Hayes was being held without bond in the Danville City Jail, police said. A message left with a phone number listed for the suspect wasn't immediately returned. A message was left with the Danville Public Defender Office asking whether they will be representing the suspect. "Our prayers go out to Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler who was violently attacked at his workplace earlier today," Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin said in a statement. "We pray for a swift recovery for Lee and for peace to be on the entire Danville community." Our prayers go out to Danville City Councilman Lee Vogler who was violently attacked at his workplace earlier today. We pray for a swift recovery for Lee and peace to be on the entire Danville community. — Governor Glenn Youngkin (@GovernorVA) July 30, 2025 Brooks said he had no indication Vogler felt unsafe at work or elsewhere. Vogler is a salesperson at the magazine, though at the small-city media company, everyone does a bit a bit of everything. "He makes sales, but he also writes stories about our community," Brooks said. Brooks said that comes naturally to Vogler. "His passion is being on the city council," Brooks said. "He loves when people call them with a concern that he can help them with, and he has been an asset to the community for much of his adult life. He was young when he got on city council, early 20s. He has made that his life." Brooks said outside of work, Vogler is dedicated parent to his two children. "He's the one who coaches their sports teams," Brooks said. Danville is about 230km north of Charlotte, North Carolina.
