Trump's bid to delay hush money trial again rejected by New York appeals court: It's the third delay rejection Trump's received in as many days.
axios.com/2024/04/10/trump-hush-money-trial-delay-rejected-court
Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial
- The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.
- Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.
- The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.
- A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

Trump keeps falsely claiming New York charged him millions to appeal fraud case: Trump began the appeal process in February and posted bond in April.
axios.com/2024/04/02/trump-court-fraud-cases-new-york-appeal-pay
Quick Glance: Trump's $175M Bond and Property Seizure Case Overview
- Former President Trump has secured a $175 million bond in his civil fraud case, keeping his most prized properties from being seized - at least temporarily.
- Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump, his company, and top executives liable for fraud, ordering them to pay a penalty of $464 million plus interest, with Trump alone owing $454 million.
- Despite the temporary halt, Trump still owes the state $454 million from the judgment, which increases daily, potentially leading him back into financial jeopardy.
- An appeal could result in a significant financial setback for Trump, challenging the monumental fine and other penalties imposed in the case.

This Ram Navami, reflecting on the Vibhishan moment: His fidelity to principles – and his doubts – underline the essence of Lord Ram
indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/this-ram-navami-reflecting-on-the-vibhishan-moment-9274538/
Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak
- The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.
- During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.
- At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.
- Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.
