Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- 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.

- 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: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia
- President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.
- The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.
- Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

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.

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.

- Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.
- The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.
- A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

apnews.com/article/trump-immigrant-voting-noncitizens-elections-explained-cf4c73b336147b5f5d9c2a22b2564994
Quick Glance: Trump's Favorite Theme: Dishonest 'Noncitizen Voting'
- House Speaker Mike Johnson's 'election security' event at Mar-a-Lago will focus on legislation targeting noncitizen voting.

Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments
- With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.
- Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.
- To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.
- However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.

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.

Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter
- The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.
- During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
- A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.
- The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.
