The Biden administration will require thousands more gun dealers to run background checks on buyers

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Attempt to Dismiss Federal Gun Charges

A judge in Delaware has denied attempts by President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden to dismiss three federal gun charges, all but ensuring a trial will move forward this summer.

Hunter Biden's lawyers had pinned their hopes for dismissal largely on the belief that an immunity provision in their plea agreement, which eventually collapsed, was validated upon both parties signing it. However, Weiss' office contended that the agreement necessitated approval from a probation officer, a requirement that was never fulfilled.

This ruling signifies another legal setback for Hunter Biden following a federal judge in California recently rejecting similar objections to a nine-count indictment related to tax offenses. The trial for this case is anticipated to commence shortly after the Delaware gun case.

Hunter Biden also alleged that Weiss succumbed to political pressure from Republicans and former President Donald Trump. Nonetheless, Noreika delivered a scathing criticism.

Federal report finds 68,000 guns were illegally trafficked through unlicensed dealers over 5 years

Quick Glance: Over 68,000 illegally trafficked guns through unlicensed dealers in US, report unveils

New data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives reveals that more than 68,000 illegally trafficked firearms in the US came through unlicensed dealers who are not required to perform background checks.

Justice Department officials stated this accounts for 54 percent of the illegally trafficked firearms in the US between 2017 and 2021.

The firearms were used in 368 shooting cases, posing challenges for investigations as unlicensed dealers do not need to maintain sales records that could help federal agents trace the weapon back to the original buyer, said ATF Director Steve Dettelbach.

The report, commissioned by Attorney General Merrick Garland, marks the first comprehensive analysis of firearm trafficking investigations in over two decades.

The United States announced on April 19 a new series of sanctions related to Israeli settlers in the West Bank, signaling growing frustration with Netanyahu's policies, who relies on settler parties for his coalition government.

War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz, a former Chief of Armed Forces and centrist, mentioned in a statement on April 21 that he had spoken with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, urging him to reconsider the issue.

Blinken mentioned on April 19 that he had made 'determinations' regarding accusations of Israel violating a set of US laws prohibiting military assistance to individuals or security force units committing gross human rights violations.

Quick Glance: Sibling Fatally Hit by Car at Birthday Party

A young brother and sister died, and several people were injured, some seriously, when a vehicle driven by a suspected drunken driver crashed into a young child's birthday party at a boat club in Berlin Township, Michigan, on Saturday.

An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother died in the crash, as a 66-year-old woman drove about 25 feet into the building, according to Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough.

Three children and six adults were taken to hospitals with life-threatening injuries, while others received first aid on site and some were transported by private vehicles.

The driver was taken into custody and is suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol causing death. Further charges may be pending as the investigation continues.

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.

Former 'Rust' movie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by the New Mexico District Court Judge.

Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July 10 following his indictment for involuntary manslaughter in January.

Initially, Hutchins' death led to a halt in the use of real firearms and blank ammunition by US film and television productions, but many have resumed usage due to the authenticity they provide.

Quick Glance: Court Hearing on Gag Order Violation Amid Trump-Cohen Feud

Judge Juan Merchan will determine whether to penalize Donald Trump for repeated breaches of the gag order preventing the former president from publicly discussing witnesses or jurors in the criminal hush money case.

Prosecutors are urging Merchan to impose a $1,000 fine on Trump for each violation and to caution him that future infractions can result in not just additional fines but also potential incarceration.

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.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) announced plans to introduce legislation to assist Arizonans in obtaining abortions in his state following a recent decision by the Arizona Supreme Court allowing a near-total abortion ban from 1864 to take effect.

The emergency legislation aims to expedite the licenses of Arizona abortion providers to treat patients in California and will be presented this week through the legislature's women's caucus.

Newsom emphasized the importance of a prompt response to Republican-led abortion restrictions, criticizing the GOP for their stance. His political action committee is funding ads against bills limiting abortion access.

Newsom intends to campaign on the abortion issue in swing states Arizona and Nevada to support a Democratic win in the presidential election and Senate control, calling President Trump a liar regarding his position on nationwide abortion bans.

Quick Glance: Seattle Children’s to Exit Texas Due to Gender-Affirming Care

Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.

Last year, Attorney General Ken Paxton attempted to compel Seattle Children’s to turn over information about gender-affirming care that Texas patients may have received at the facility. The hospital sued Paxton, stating that the office doesn’t have jurisdiction over patient records in Washington.

Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.

Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.

Quick Glance: Building Commences on High-Speed Rail Line Between Sin City and City of Angels

Work is set to begin on a $12 billion high-speed passenger rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area.

Brightline West aims to lay 218 miles of new track between a terminal south of the Las Vegas Strip and a new facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

The project is touted as the nation's first true high-speed passenger rail line, designed to reach speeds of 186 mph comparable to Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains.

The trains will offer restrooms, Wi-Fi, food and beverage sales, and luggage check options, with an expected 11 million passengers per year and fares well below airline travel costs.
