Quick Glance: Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 Rape Conviction Overturned
- New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.
- The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.
- Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.
- The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.
LISTEN: Supreme Court seems skeptical of Trump's claim of absolute immunity but case could be delayed further
pbs.org/newshour/politics/listen-live-supreme-court-hears-case-on-presidential-immunity-for-trump
Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles
- Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.
- The Supreme Court's decision to take the case may delay the former president's trial and deprive the public of the right to know if he attempted to undermine the sacred process of presidential succession.
- The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.
- The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich
- Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.
- Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.
- Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.
- Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

abcnews.go.com/US/trumps-attorneys-argue-acceptance-175m-bond-civil-fraud/story
Quick Glance: Trump Agrees to New Restrictions on $175 Million Bond in New York Civil Fraud Case
- The bond is meant to secure Trump's compliance with a $454.2 million judgment won by state Attorney General Letitia James if he does not succeed in an appeal.
- James had challenged the bond this month, saying Trump still had access to the Charles Schwab account pledged to the insurer as collateral.
- Justice Arthur Engoron imposed the penalty after finding that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth and real estate assets to deceive banks and insurers into providing better terms.
- Trump defended the bond in court, emphasizing that he has plenty of money to put up for it.

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say
- ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.
- TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.
- ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.
- After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.
