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: California's Lack of Oversight on Billions for Homelessness Programs: State Audit
  • A new state audit report criticizes California for failing to track the effectiveness of its billion-dollar spending on homelessness programs.

  • California is faulted for not taking enough measures to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs.

  • The audit revealed that two programs, including the Homekey program by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the CalWORKs Housing Support Program by the California Department of Social Services, appear cost-effective.

  • The audit calls for improved data collection and public reporting of the costs and outcomes of homelessness programs in California.
