Quick Glance: Trump Accused of Trying to 'Corrupt' 2016 Election in Hush-Money Trial

  • The opening statements provided the 12-person jury and the public with a roadmap to understand the allegations in the case and Trump's expected defenses.

  • Prosecutors emphasized the gravity of the case by framing it as about election interference and sought to address criticism that the case lacks the grievous allegations present in Trump's other three cases.

Trump’s Truth Social posts grew more belligerent since move from Twitter
Quick Glance: Trump on Verge of $1 Billion Win with Truth Social
  • Former President Donald Trump is on the verge of scoring a major financial bonanza, at least on paper. If Trump Media & Technology Group's share price doesn't dramatically drop before Tuesday's closing bell, Trump is set to receive another 36 million shares as the owner of Truth Social.

  • Even though Trump Media is losing money and Truth Social is very tiny, the new shares Trump is poised to receive would be valued at about $1.3 billion at current prices. Trump's net worth has been fluctuating significantly since his social media company went public last month.

  • While Trump Media's share price has been halved since peaking on March 27, it still trades comfortably above levels that would trigger specific performance provisions in the merger agreement.

  • Trump Media can issue additional shares to pre-merger shareholders like the former president if the dollar volume-weighted average price equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day period starting on March 25.

Voters who have interest in election hits nearly 20-year low: Poll
Quick Glance: Poll: Election Interest Declines in Tight Biden-Trump Race
  • The interest of voters in the election has reached the lowest point in two decades at this stage in a presidential race.

  • The latest national NBC News poll reveals that the number of voters with high interest in the 2024 presidential election has nearly hit the lowest point in almost 20 years, with a majority holding negative views of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

  • Inflation and immigration top the list of the country's most pressing issues, with only one-third of voters giving Biden credit for improving economic performance.

  • The survey also highlights how the low voter interest and the independent candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could potentially disrupt what has been a stable presidential contest with over six months until Election Day.
