The lawyer's job: Will play Trump in debate with Biden

Joe Biden has begun his preparations for next week's debate against Donald Trump. The president's personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, is believed to be playing Trump in a mock debate during the upload, writes Politico.

Bauer would not confirm that he has that role this year, but he had it four years ago and then had to prepare Biden for possible attacks. The job requires immersing oneself in the opponent's policies and debating style, but four years ago, Bauer falsely claimed that Trump wanted to overturn the abortion law Roe v. Wade.

- It was a mistake. You want to avoid that type of mistake because you don't want to prepare the candidate for an argument they won't hear.

Shy billionaire gives Trump half a billion kroner

Donald Trump's campaign coffers are starting to fill up and the financial disadvantage against Joe Biden has been halved since April, writes the New York Times. The guilty verdict in the accounting charges against Trump led to his supporters opening their wallets.

One of them was billionaire Timothy Mellon, heir to the Mellon banking family. The day after the jury announced its decision, Mellon, who is media-shy and almost never allows himself to be photographed, donated $50 million to the Trump campaign. This corresponds to approximately SEK 525 million.
