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.

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.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign expects $50 million haul at fundraiser
- Former President Trump is expected to rake in approximately $50 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday night, under the leadership of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson. This amount would double what three Democratic presidents recently raised for President Biden’s reelection campaign war chest.
- The expected sum would double the amount raised by Biden's campaign at a fundraiser in New York City last week.
- The event will help support Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), his Save America PAC, and state GOP parties under their joint fundraising agreement.
- Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.

Quick Glance: OAN and Smartmatic Reach Settlement in Defamation Lawsuit
- Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to a confidential settlement of a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet's lies about the 2020 presidential elections.

- OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.
- While the Smartmatic case has concluded, OAN still faces another defamation lawsuit from Dominion regarding the dissemination of falsehoods about the 2020 elections.
