Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia
  • President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

  • Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.

  • The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.

  • Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel
  • US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

  • The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

  • The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.

President Biden's son Hunter loses bid to dismiss gun charges
Quick Glance: Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Attempt to Dismiss Federal Gun Charges
  • A judge in Delaware has denied attempts by President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden to dismiss three federal gun charges, all but ensuring a trial will move forward this summer.

  • Hunter Biden's lawyers had pinned their hopes for dismissal largely on the belief that an immunity provision in their plea agreement, which eventually collapsed, was validated upon both parties signing it. However, Weiss' office contended that the agreement necessitated approval from a probation officer, a requirement that was never fulfilled.

  • This ruling signifies another legal setback for Hunter Biden following a federal judge in California recently rejecting similar objections to a nine-count indictment related to tax offenses. The trial for this case is anticipated to commence shortly after the Delaware gun case.

  • Hunter Biden also alleged that Weiss succumbed to political pressure from Republicans and former President Donald Trump. Nonetheless, Noreika delivered a scathing criticism.

Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial
  • 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.

Donald Trump faces justice: Why his hush money payments are his Watergate
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.
