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: Supreme Court to Decide on Donald Trump's Prosecution Immunity
  • Donald Trump argues before the Supreme Court that as a former President, he is largely immune from prosecution. The decision will impact the speed at which Trump faces trial in Washington, D.C.

  • At the heart of the matter is whether a former President enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution. Trump's team contends his actions were official acts shielded from prosecution, while prosecutors argue against immunity.

  • Legal experts anticipate Trump's likely defeat at the Supreme Court. The outcome could also affect his other ongoing trials.

  • With a 6-3 conservative majority, the Court has various options, including affirming Trump's immunity claim, setting a precedent, or remanding the case for further review by the D.C. judge.

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: Trump calls deadly Charlottesville rally a 'peanut' next to Israel protests
  • Former President Donald Trump referred to a deadly neo-Nazi rally as a 'peanut' compared to ongoing protests of the Israel-Gaza conflict - diminishing the significance of a 2017 white supremacist event in Charlottesville that sparked controversy when Trump, as president, stated there were 'very fine people on both sides.'

  • In response to President Biden linking Charlottesville to his decision to run for president, Trump criticized Biden's handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, emphasizing the widespread riots and anti-Israel protests happening across the country currently.

  • Concerns about antisemitism have been raised by politicians from both parties amidst large-scale demonstrations condemning Israel. House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia University amid campus protests, which resulted in arrests.

  • Trump's portrayal of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, where white supremacists protested the removal of a Confederate statue, has been viewed critically, even by some of his supporters, as a low point in his presidency. The rally turned deadly when a neo-Nazi drove into counterprotesters, causing casualties.

Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030
  • Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

  • Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

  • The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

  • Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.
