As the Trump team battles multiple lawsuits, the former President sat down to set the record straight

In a wide-ranging interview with an American media outlet, former President Donald Trump responded in detail to civil litigation from New York State Democratic Attorney General Letitia James.

On Wednesday, James announced that she filed a sweeping fraud lawsuit against former President Trump and his family members.

The lawsuit alleges that the Trump Organization intentionally “manipulated” valuations in order to convince financial institutions to lend them money on more favorable terms.

President Trump responded to the claims during a sit-down interview saying, that his company adds a very big disclaimer in their financial document saying, “it’s a very powerful disclaimer—it basically says to an institution, if you’re going to loan money, you have to go out and make sure that you get your own appraisers, your lawyers, —everything.”

He added, “these are banks that have the best lawyers in the world and buy the way, they got paid back. I never got a default—I paid them back because we have a lot of cash I paid them back, I paid them off. I have very little debt, unbelievably little debt.”

Meanwhile President Trump and his legal team continue to fight the Department of Justice in court over documents seized during the FBI’s unprecedented early morning raid of Mar-a-Lago with the issue being whether or not the documents there were declassified.

President Trump said, “if you’re the President of the United States—you can declassify just by saying ‘it’s declassified’ even by thinking about it because you’re sending it to Mar-a-Lago or to wherever you’re sending it and doesn’t have to be a process. There can be a process but there doesn’t have to be. You’re the present, you make that decision.”

Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.

A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.

Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.

Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.

President Trump has intensified his remarks over Greenland, claiming the U.S. is the only nation capable of ensuring peace in the Arctic, sparking sharp pushback from European leaders. His rhetoric, including hints at potential tariffs, comes as international attention turns to the strategic territory.

The debate has dominated discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where Trump confirmed plans to meet regarding Greenland following a positive conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Meanwhile, Greenland’s leadership has warned that the territory must be ready for potential military scenarios.

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney also weighed in from Davos, drawing a firm line on sovereignty, declaring Greenland’s independence non-negotiable. The unfolding standoff highlights rising geopolitical tensions in the Arctic, with global powers increasingly staking their claims.

OpenAI plans to launch a screenless smart speaker by late 2026, shifting focus to hardware amid significant revenue growth.

OpenAI is gearing up to launch its first-ever consumer hardware device in late 2026. The product is expected to be a screenless smart speaker, signalling the tech giant’s move beyond software and into the world of physical devices.

The device comes after OpenAI acquired a promising hardware startup to accelerate development.

The company is also pushing a strategy to strengthen domestic manufacturing, working closely with U.S. manufacturers to secure efficient production of essential components.

Despite the progress, technical hurdles remain, especially around the device’s listening capabilities, which could delay the rollout.

This development comes on the heels of OpenAI reporting an annualised revenue of over $20 billion in 2025, representing a staggering 233% increase from the previous year. The combination of massive revenue growth and expansion into hardware marks a new era for the AI pioneer.
