Quick Glance: Trump hush money trial: First six jurors selected
  • The first six jurors for Donald Trump’s hush money trial were chosen after questioning about social media, political views, and personal lives to ensure fair judgment of the former president.

  • The jurors include an IT worker, an English teacher, an oncology nurse, a sales professional, a software engineer, and a corporate lawyer.

  • The trial, commencing Monday, puts Trump’s legal issues at the forefront of his race against President Joe Biden and is the first of his four criminal cases to go to trial, potentially reaching a verdict before the November election.

  • The charges against Trump revolve around $130,000 payments to his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to silence Stormy Daniels, with Trump denying the encounter and claiming it had no campaign involvement.

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.

Biden Says He Is Considering Dropping Prosecution of Julian Assange
Quick Glance: Contemplating Prosecution Cessation for Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange
  • President Joe Biden is contemplating Australia's request to cease the long-standing U.S. effort to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for revealing American classified documents.

  • There is a disparity in the treatment of Assange and Manning, with Obama shortening Manning's sentence while Assange remains under indictment. Supporters of Assange argue he is a journalist protected by the First Amendment who exposed U.S. military misconduct in Iraq and Afghanistan.
