Sams operated as a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office during pivotal moments, including investigations into…
On August 21, the New York Appellate Division delivered a significant ruling, overturning a hefty fine imposed on President Trump. Initially, the penalty against him and the Trump Organization totaled over $500 million, raising red flags concerning potential violations of the Eighth Amendment, specifically regarding excessive fines.
