NEW YORK (AP) — Aggrieved and defiant, former President Donald Trump spent a day in court Monday for the sometimes testy start of a trial in a fraud lawsuit that could cost him control of Trump Tower and other prized properties. “Disgraceful trial,” he declared during a lunch break, after listening to lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James excoriate him as a habitual liar. The state’s lawsuit accuses the business mogul-turned-politician and his company of deceiving banks, insurers and others by misstating his wealth for years in financial statements.“They were lying year after year after year,” Kevin Wallace, a lawyer in James’ office, said as Trump sat at the defense table. He looked straight ahead, arms crossed, facing away from a screen that showed details of Wallace’s presentation.

(CNN Español) — El papa Francisco sugirió por primera vez que las personas en uniones del mismo sexo podrían ser bendecidas por sacerdotes católicos “caso por caso”, y que, aunque es una posibilidad remota, la ordenación de mujeres al sacerdocio debería estudiarse.El papa hizo la sugerencia en una carta a sus críticos más duros dentro de las filas católicas escrita en respuesta a cinco cardenales conservadores que retomaron su carta del 10 de julio con una serie de preguntas formales, llamadas “dubia” (en latín, “duda”), que es una solicitud oficial de respuesta de Sí o No por parte de un pontífice en ejercicio con respecto a su gestión de la Iglesia.Los cardenales Walter Brandmuller, Raymond Leo Burke, Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, Robert Sarah y Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, enviaron la carta al papa Francisco el 10 de julio y recibieron una respuesta al día siguiente.
