- Responding to Trump's social media activity, Cohen, a pivotal prosecution witness, accused Trump of desperation on Twitter, with Trump's legal team justifying his responses as campaign-related.
- Regarding the gag order infringements, the jury will not be presented with arguments. Merchan specified that if the arguments are not wrapped up by 11 a.m., they will pick up the discussion on the infringements at a later time.

Quick Glance: Biden administration strengthens rules on obtaining medical records for abortion
- Under the new regulation by the Biden administration, medical records of women will be shielded from criminal investigations if they cross state lines to seek a legal abortion.

- The protection also extends to women seeking fertility, contraception, or miscarriage care, according to the nation’s top health official Xavier Becerra.
- However, the regulation does not protect women from criminal investigations when ordering abortion pills online and does not mandate law enforcement officials to obtain a warrant for medical records of patients.

Quick Glance: Trump on Verge of $1 Billion Win with Truth Social
- Former President Donald Trump is on the verge of scoring a major financial bonanza, at least on paper. If Trump Media & Technology Group's share price doesn't dramatically drop before Tuesday's closing bell, Trump is set to receive another 36 million shares as the owner of Truth Social.
- Even though Trump Media is losing money and Truth Social is very tiny, the new shares Trump is poised to receive would be valued at about $1.3 billion at current prices. Trump's net worth has been fluctuating significantly since his social media company went public last month.
- While Trump Media's share price has been halved since peaking on March 27, it still trades comfortably above levels that would trigger specific performance provisions in the merger agreement.
- Trump Media can issue additional shares to pre-merger shareholders like the former president if the dollar volume-weighted average price equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day period starting on March 25.
