Former President Donald Trump faces another setback as a series of troubling developments emerge, adding to ongoing legal, political, and personal challenges. These new difficulties intensify scrutiny, complicate his public and political life, and raise questions about the implications for his future, leaving supporters and critics alike watching closely.
