Alvin Bragg Reveals Trial Plan Against Donald Trump
Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case
  • Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

  • The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

  • The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

  • Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

  • Trump's rant about Kimmel seems to be in response to his monologue on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' discussing Trump's declining wealth and hush money trial.

Quick Glance: Trump defends Johnson's handling of Ukraine vote
  • Former President Trump defended Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for bringing additional aid for Ukraine and other national security priorities to a vote in the House.

  • Trump mentioned the difficulty Johnson faced due to the GOP's narrow majority, stating that it was challenging to be too tough in such a situation.

  • The debate over providing billions in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan divided House Republicans and led to calls from Trump allies for Johnson's removal as Speaker.

Letitia James' New Strategy to Examine Donald Trump's Finances
Quick Glance: Trump's $175M Bond and Property Seizure Case Overview
  • Former President Trump has secured a $175 million bond in his civil fraud case, keeping his most prized properties from being seized - at least temporarily.

  • Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump, his company, and top executives liable for fraud, ordering them to pay a penalty of $464 million plus interest, with Trump alone owing $454 million.

  • Despite the temporary halt, Trump still owes the state $454 million from the judgment, which increases daily, potentially leading him back into financial jeopardy.

  • An appeal could result in a significant financial setback for Trump, challenging the monumental fine and other penalties imposed in the case.

Quick Glance: Understanding Don Hankey: The Billionaire Who Bailed Out Trump with $175 Million
  • California billionaire Don Hankey stepped in to pay Donald Trump's $175 million bond, preventing the former president from facing potential bankruptcy.

  • Hankey, known as the 'little-known king of subprime car loans,' boasts assets exceeding $22.5 billion and operates an auto services empire in Los Angeles.

  • At 80 years old, Hankey emphasized that his decision to cover Trump's bond was a business move rather than a political statement, highlighting his neutral stance on political matters.

  • Paying Trump's bond was influenced by the former president's legal defense strategy in a New York civil case centered around asset overvaluation, where Hankey found parallels in his own business practices.

Quick Glance: Appeals Court Decision Reduces Trump's Bond in Fraud Case
  • In the New York civil fraud case, it was determined that Donald Trump and his co-defendants now have 10 days to post a $175 million bond, compared to the original $464 million.

  • The late ruling from a panel of state Appellate Division judges, all appointed by Democratic governors, represents a significant victory and relief for the former president.

  • Trump's legal team had previously stated that obtaining the larger bond was practically impossible. The court's decision also temporarily prevents the New York Attorney General's office from enforcing the judgment.

  • Additionally, the court imposed a stay on the part of the initial judgment that restricted Trump from acting as a public officer of a company, as well as prohibitions on other individuals, although not all of Trump's requests were granted.

Quick Glance: White House Easter Egg Roll Draws Huge Crowd Following Storm Delayed Start
  • The start of the Easter egg roll at the White House was delayed by 90 minutes due to thunder and lightning, before the event kicked off under gray skies with a large crowd, including many children wearing ponchos or colorful jackets against light rain.

  • More than 40,000 people, 10,000 more than the previous year, were expected to participate in guiding hard-boiled eggs across the lawn to a finish line. This year's theme of 'EGG-ucation' was led by Jill Biden, a teacher for over 30 years.

  • President Joe Biden emphasized that Easter serves as a reminder of the power of hope, renewal, sacrifice, and resurrection, primarily focusing on love and grace towards others. He also highlighted the significance of values and blessings that Americans hold.

  • Guests at the egg roll included thousands of military and veteran families, alongside their caregivers and survivors. Tickets for attendance were allocated to the general public through an online lottery, with entry granted in nine waves spanning until the evening.
