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: 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.

- A rising challenger to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán mobilized tens of thousands of supporters in Budapest on Saturday, outlining a plan to unite the country and bring an end to the populist leader’s 14-year hold on power.
