Donald Trump's trial. On Monday, jury selection began in Manhattan for former President Donald Trump's trial for allegedly falsifying business records, commonly referred to as the "hush money" case. The allegations brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg are that Trump orchestrated a scheme to influence the 2016 election by identifying and purchasing negative information about him and suppressing its publication, then covering his tracks by illegally falsifying business records. With jury selection underway, Trump now becomes the first former president ever to stand trial in a criminal case.
Today, we're going to break down the latest on the trial. You can read our previous coverage here, here, and here.

Yesterday, we released more general admission tickets for tomorrow’s Tangle Live event in New York City. Before we could even advertise them in the newsletter, the event sold-out again (in literally 30 minutes). Thank you all so much for the support. We are thrilled and can't wait for the show.
One important note: Two readers have written in to let me know they have tickets but can no longer attend, and have offered to donate their tickets. In total, we have three general admission tickets that are up for grabs. If you still need tickets, email me with the subject line "Tickets'' and I'll see if we can get you some. First come, first served. Thank you all, and see you tomorrow!
