Supreme Court to Decide Whether Donald Trump Can Be Criminally Prosecuted
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 Agrees to New Restrictions on $175 Million Bond in New York Civil Fraud Case

  • Trump defended the bond in court, emphasizing that he has plenty of money to put up for it.

Quick Glance: US Supreme Court discusses Trump's Immunity
  • Conservative US Supreme Court justices signal sympathy for the argument that presidents have some immunity against criminal charges for certain actions taken in office.

  • Former President Donald Trump appealed after lower courts rejected his request to be shielded from four election-related criminal charges.

  • The Supreme Court hearing could distort the presidency without immunity and affect decision-making when bold and fearless action is most needed.

  • The Supreme Court's decision on immunity is expected and could lead to Trump's trial occurring before the election.

Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.

  • Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.

  • Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.

  • Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.
