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.

- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

Quick Glance: How Italy’s 'Ndrangheta Mafia Allegedly Infiltrated Canadian Banks

- Police seized assets worth millions of dollars and closed around 500 accounts at the implicated banks. Charges against Figliomeni and his co-defendants were dropped due to procedural errors.

Quick Glance: Macklem Sees Limited Impact of Canada Budget on Fiscal Direction
- Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem suggested Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent budget, which balanced increased spending with a capital gains tax hike and improved revenue forecasts, did not significantly contribute to inflationary pressures.
- Macklem informed reporters on Friday that the budget did not alter the government's fiscal trajectory significantly compared to the November fiscal update. It was highlighted that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland upheld her commitment regarding deficit maintenance and shortfall reduction goals for the future.
- The Governor emphasized the continued adherence of the budget to these guidelines, which was deemed beneficial. He refrained from delving into specific details of budget measures, emphasizing the responsibility of lawmakers to deliberate on the government's fiscal plan.
- Macklem expressed that the latest three inflation indicators showed a sustained downward trend, with the bank awaiting confirmation that this trend will persist to ensure the progress towards price stability is maintained.
