Quick Glance: Hush Money Trial: Trump's Silent Encounter with Insults

Donald Trump has been forced to listen to potential jurors in his criminal hush money trial in New York openly criticize him.

Transitioning from a life of adulation to facing critics, Trump now experiences a different reality without the control he's accustomed to.

Previously shielded from critique, Trump now faces a trial with potential felony convictions and will have to endure listening to more criticism.

Quick Glance: Significant Funds Raised for Family of Slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller

A substantial amount of money has been collected so far for the family of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, a wave of generosity from the general population to billionaires who are shocked by the tragedy - and tired of a faulty criminal justice system and anti-political politicians.

Among the major donors are Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who pledged to adjust the impressive $750,000 raised for Diller's one-year-old son Ryan and his widow Stephanie through the online store of his website - totaling $1.5 million.

The Silver Shield Foundation stated that they received well over 100 contributions in a single day to support Diller's family.

Despite his severe injury, Diller managed to grab Rivera's weapon after it fell to the ground. The officer's partner fired two shots, at least one of which hit Rivera in the back, according to the police.
