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.

Harvey Weinstein Conviction Reversal Draws Outrage Online: ‘In Case Things Didn’t Already Suck Badly Enough for Women’
thewrap.com/harvey-weinstein-verdict-overturned-reaction-outrage/
Quick Glance: New York Overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction
- New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial rulings by the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial.
- The State Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures, ordering a new trial where his accusers might have to relive their traumas.
- Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction, but will remain imprisoned due to another rape conviction in Los Angeles in 2022.
- This decision marks another setback for #MeToo, following the US Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal in the Bill Cosby case, where his sexual assault conviction was overturned by a Pennsylvania court.
