  • 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: 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.

India's Modi calls rivals pro-Muslim as election campaign changes tack
Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift
  • Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

  • Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

  • Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

  • Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.
