Trump suffers two bitter defeats in court in one day. The former US president's delaying tactics are failing.

Trump wanted to have cases against him dropped in Georgia and Florida. If these motions go through in court, the Republican will have to appear in court three more times before November. The two rejected applications are likely to represent a bitter defeat for Donald Trump. Even if the start of the two cases has not yet been set, the prosecutors are trying - in contrast to Trump - to schedule them before the presidential election.
