Trump Violated Gag Order Seven More Times, Prosecutors Say
Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
  • A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

  • The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

  • Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

  • The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Justice Dept. refuses to provide Biden-Hur audio recordings to House committee
  • Justice Department officials informed House Republicans that they do not plan to give audio recordings of President Biden's interviews with the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents.

  • The decision was made as lawmakers already possess transcripts of the interviews, indicating that the request may be more about politics than seeking genuine information.

  • Special counsel Hur found evidence that Biden retained classified government materials after leaving the vice presidency, but concluded that there was insufficient proof to pursue criminal charges.

  • Republican lawmakers have threatened to hold the Attorney General in contempt if the recordings are not handed over, raising concerns about potential implications on future investigations.

Quick Glance: Apple accuses Epic of attempting to 'micromanage' its business operations in a new court filing
  • Epic Games filed a motion last month asking a California judge to hold Apple in contempt for violations of a 2021 injunction related to the company's App Store practices.

  • Apple is now requesting the judge to reject Epic's motion, alleging that it is an attempt to 'micromanage Apple's business operations in a way that would increase Epic's profitability.'

  • The original injunction by US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers required Apple to allow developers to offer external payment options to avoid fees of up to 30 percent on App Store and in-app purchases.

  • Apple claims to have acted in compliance with the injunction, stating that the purpose is to make information about alternative purchase options more accessible, not to dictate the commercial terms for accessing its platform, tools, technologies, and user base.

Quick Glance: Impact of Jacob Zuma's Election Exclusion on South Africa's Vote
  • The exclusion of former President Jacob Zuma from the elections in May is heightening political tensions in South Africa as the country gears up for what is anticipated to be a fiercely competitive electoral battle.

  • Zuma's opposition to the ANC challenges his previous party's dominance and might result in the ANC falling below the 50% vote mark for the first time.

  • While this may dampen the MK's momentum, the 2021 protests indicate that barring him from the election could rally his loyal supporters.

  • Following the announcement, the MK announced plans to challenge the decision. A potential court ruling in favor of Zuma's candidacy could revive his political prospects and present a significant obstacle to the ANC during a period of declining popularity.
