Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: Giuliani, 17 Others Indicted in Arizona for Fake Elector Scheme; Trump Named Co-Conspirator

Rudy Giuliani, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, is among 18 individuals indicted in Arizona for allegedly illegally attempting to claim the state's 2020 electoral votes for the former US president, with Trump identified as an unindicted co-conspirator.

The indictment in Maricopa County Superior Court lists 11 defendants and redacts the names of seven others. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes stated that these names would be disclosed after serving all defendants with the indictment.

The indictment alleges that the defendants pressured state officials to change election results, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy, carrying potential sentences ranging from six months to over 12 years upon conviction.

Several individuals posing as electors for Trump have been charged in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada. The fake elector scheme is also a focal point in the federal case against Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

pcmag.com/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-tiktok-ban-your-questions-answered

Quick Glance: Potential Buyers for TikTok Revealed

The clock is ticking for TikTok to find a new owner. President Joe Biden signed a law that could ban TikTok in the US unless ByteDance sells the app. Possible buyers range from tech companies to retailers and investment bankers.

Established tech giants like Meta or Google are unlikely buyers due to antitrust hurdles. Large companies with deep pockets face regulatory skepticism, although they could have the resources to purchase TikTok.

Microsoft, which has shown interest in TikTok in the past, may have another opportunity after successfully navigating antitrust scrutiny with the Activision Blizzard deal. Oracle and former US government officials like Steven Mnuchin are also potential buyers.

Mnuchin has announced assembling a team of investors to acquire TikTok. His offer, however, might exclude TikTok's algorithm, sparking controversial discussions. Other potential buyers like Kevin O'Leary are also considering acquiring TikTok, with O'Leary suggesting an initial bid between $20 and $30 billion.

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.

U.S. Economic Growth Slows to 1.6%: U.S. economic growth slowed in the first part of the year, falling short of economists’ expectations.

on.wsj.com/3UypAig

Quick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications

The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.

Despite the disappointing growth last quarter, this could potentially alter the views of Fed officials who were not keen on cutting rates following an upsurge in consumer prices.

Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.

The report also highlights the performance of other sectors of the economy, such as the surge in housing construction, business investment growth, slower government spending, and the impact of trade on economic growth.

NY AG asks Trump civil fraud judge to declare $175M bond ‘without effect’: The New York attorney general’s office has asked a judge to void the $175 million bond ...

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.

Millions more go to Trump legal expenses as Biden and Democratic Party expand campaign cash advantage

Quick Glance: Millions more spent on Trump legal fees as Biden and Democratic Party expand campaign funds lead

Donald Trump’s leadership PAC spent as much money as it took in last month, with his legal bills remaining a top expense as the former president grappled both with the aftermath of losing a civil fraud case and prepared for the start of a historic criminal trial in a Manhattan court.

Save America, the political action committee that has underwritten much of Trump’s legal expenses, spent nearly $3.7 million on legal-related expenses in March – nearly $3 out of every $4 it collected, according to a filing Saturday night with the Federal Election Commission.

President Joe Biden alongside the Democratic National Committee increased their financial lead over Trump and the GOP in the past month.

The financial boost for Kennedy, the vice presidential pick of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., represents a financial boon for his independent bid for the White House. His campaign received a $2 million donation from Nicole Shanahan in March and raised over $3 million more that same month, based on campaign filings.

Quick Glance: Melania Trump Launches Initiative to Woo Gay Conservatives at Mar-a-Lago Fundraiser

Melania Trump unveiled an initiative at a fundraiser to attract conservative gay support for Donald Trump's 2024 candidacy.

The event aimed to strengthen ties with conservative LGBTQ+ supporters and invest resources in educational efforts and pro-Trump messages.

Led by Richard Grenell, the first openly gay Cabinet member in the U.S., the initiative seeks to persuade the LGBTQ+ community that Donald Trump is the best choice.

Melania Trump's involvement represents a stark contrast to past campaigns as she takes on a key role in supporting conservative gay and lesbian voters.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.
