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.

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.

The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

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.

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: UAW Secures Historic Victory as Volkswagen Workers in Tennessee Vote for Union Representation

Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, made history by voting to join the United Auto Workers, marking the first auto factory in the South since the 1940s to unionize.

Nearly three-quarters of 3,613 workers voted yes in a three-day election with high turnout, granting the union a significant first win in its efforts to organize factories of a dozen automakers in the South.

The organizing effort concludes a strong year for the U.S. labor movement, obtaining record wage increases across various industries through strikes and tough negotiations.

The UAW, led by President Shawn Fain, achieved notable successes in negotiations with Detroit automakers last fall, securing substantial raises and benefits through a contentious strike.

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.

Quick Glance: RFK Jr.'s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to End Presidential Bid

Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

As an independent candidate for the White House, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claims he would be the “best environment president in American history,” drawing on his past as a crusading lawyer who went after polluters in New York.

But dozens of Mr. Kennedy’s former colleagues at the Natural Resources Defense Council are calling on him to withdraw from the race, in full-page advertisements sponsored by the group’s political arm that are expected to appear in newspapers in six swing states on Sunday.

Separately, a dozen other national environmental organizations have issued an open letter calling Mr. Kennedy “ a “dangerous conspiracy theorist and a science denier” who promotes “toxic beliefs” on vaccines and on climate change.

Quick Glance: Google dismisses workers following protests on technology deal with Israeli government

Following protests regarding the technology supplied to the Israeli government, Google has terminated employees, heightening tensions around a sensitive contract.

The confirmed dismissals by Google on Wednesday occurred after nine individuals were detained during sit-in demonstrations in New York and Sunnyvale, California, a day subsequent to police intervention.

Demonstrations are predominantly coordinated by a faction known as No Tech For Apartheid. Google states that Nimbus is not utilized for weaponry or intelligence purposes.

Stated in a blog post, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai implied a close supervision of employees as the company enhances efforts in advancing its AI technology, marking a crucial phase in the industry and potentially humanity.
