Watch live: Senate dismisses all impeachment charges against Mayorkas: The Senate has dismissed all impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary ...

apnews.com/article/mayorkas-senate-impeachment-trial-democrats-29aa775c0e866f4160f320583f261a72

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas

The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.

Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.

Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.

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.

Kelly Clarkson breaks down talking about her difficult pregnancies with Hillary Clinton

Quick Glance: Kelly Clarkson Laughs Off Dirty 'Meat' Joke with Henry Golding | Video

Kelly Clarkson needed a few moments to quite literally walk it off during her show this week, after she unintentionally made a dirty joke to actor Henry Golding, about 'meat in the morning.'

The 'Crazy Rich Asians' star is Clarkson's guest on Thursday's episode of her show, in support of his new film 'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.' And, to kick off an interview, the Brit has a question for Clarkson about what is considered typical breakfast food in New York.

Clarkson tried to help Golding out when he mentioned eating a pastrami sandwich in the morning. But, as she realized exactly what she said, she began laughing uncontrollably and walked a few steps away from her chair.

After managing to compose herself, the host continued with the show. The latest episode of 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' with Henry Golding aired on Thursday, April 18.

Quick Glance: Trevor Bauer accuser charged with felony fraud after false claims

For the first time in a case involving baseball player Trevor Bauer, an accusation has been made against one of his accusers for allegedly defrauding him.

The woman, Darcy Adanna Esemonu, was charged with defrauding Bauer by making false claims about a pregnancy.

A grand jury in Maricopa County, Arizona, filed an indictment against Esemonu in March for felony fraud against Bauer and another man.

Bauer emphasized that the accusations against him were false and that the justice system had affirmed his innocence, leading to charges against one of his accusers.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.
