Stormy Daniels Testimony in Trump's Trial
Stormy Daniels testified in Donald Trump's New York Criminal Trial, recounting details of a one-night stand she had with Trump in 2006. Her description raised concerns about consent, leading to Trump's lawyers requesting a mistrial that was rejected by the judge. Her testimony is crucial, as Trump faces accusations of concealing financial transactions related to a payment made to her in 2016 to maintain her silence.
U.S. Paused Bomb Shipments to Israel for Rafah Offensive
The U.S. paused bomb shipments to Israel as a signal of concern over Israel's planned attack on Rafa in southern Gaza. The delay affects controversial 2,000 pound bombs linked to civilian casualties. Despite the pause, Israel retains enough weapons for an operation, jeopardizing potential ceasefire talks in Cairo this week.
