Trump urges supporters to ‘go out and peacefully protest’ ahead of hush money trial’s opening arguments

thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4610911-trump-urges-supporters-peacefully-protest-hush-money-trial-opening-remarks/

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.

Quick Glance: Clearance for Ajit Pawar, Wife, Nephew in Money-Laundering Case Involving Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank

The Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai Police has given a clean chit to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, his wife Sunetra Pawar, and nephew Rohit Pawar in an alleged money-laundering scam related to the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank, as reported by The Indian Express on Wednesday.

The agency relied on its evaluation of two transactions to affirm the absence of any criminal wrongdoing by the Pawars.

The case centers on accusations that officials at the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank unlawfully extended loans to cooperative sugar factory owners, their relatives, or others without adhering to proper procedures.

Subsequently, the companies were reportedly sold at discounted prices to individuals associated with the bank's directors.

Quick Glance: Israeli Strikes on Rafah Kill 22, Mostly Children, as US Advances Aid Package

Israeli strikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah overnight killed 22 people, including 18 children, as the US House of Representatives approved $13 billion in new Israeli military aid.

However, fears of wider war breaking out in the Middle East have eased somewhat after Iran downplayed Israel’s reported retaliation over its unprecedented missile and drone attack on the country a week ago.

Israel has carried out near-daily air raids on Rafah and vowed to expand its ground offensive against the Hamas militant group to the city on the border with Egypt despite calls for restraint, including from the US.

Tensions have also spiked in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, with Israeli troops killing two Palestinians who attacked a checkpoint with a knife and a gun near the southern West Bank town of Hebron.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

The demonstration was specifically targeted against the subsidies for fossil fuels in the Netherlands.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained twice by police at a demonstration in the Netherlands, after she and a group of marchers blocked a main road to protest against these subsidies.

Quick Glance: MLAs Nitesh Rane, Geeta Jain Booked for 'Hate' Speeches After Mira Road Clashes: Police Update Bombay HC

The Maharashtra government informed the Bombay High Court that FIRs had been filed due to speeches made by MLAs Nitesh Rane and Geeta Jain during and after communal clashes in Mira Road.

Police commissioners decided to initiate criminal investigations against the leaders, resulting in multiple FIRs being registered for incitement to riots and promoting enmity between groups.

Petitioners argued that the politicians' speeches clearly constituted hate speech offenses, pushing for FIR registration under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including defiling places of worship and causing public unrest.

Police registered several complaints related to the violence in Mira Road in January, filing FIRs against the politicians in different areas. The hearing is adjourned to June 19.

Quick Glance: Assam’s Struggling Anti-CAA Protests

Protests erupted in Assam following the notification of rules for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, led by students and political groups like the AASU and the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti.

Protests in Assam began as early as 2018 and gained nationwide significance in 2019, but the 2024 protests are weaker due to the declining relevance of ethnonationalist groups.

Ethnonationalist groups in Assam, mainly representing the interests of Assamese Hindu elites, failed to revive the anti-CAA protests to the same extent as in 2019, as they were rooted in ethnonationalism rather than democratic values.

Efforts by the AASU and other nationalist organizations in Assam to gain political power through anti-immigrant sentiment have faltered in the shadow of Hindutva, which dominates the state's anti-immigrant politics.
