npr.org/2024/04/23/1246645808/truth-social-shares-windfall-trump-media-technology-group
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.

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.
