Trump's Trial Jury Selection Progresses
Seven jurors have been selected for Trump's trial in New York, with jury selection moving swiftly after a slow start. Potential jurors expressed varying opinions of Trump, with some being blunt, guarded, and even humorous. The trial relates to Trump's hush money case, where he faces allegations of falsifying business records to conceal an affair. Additional jurors are yet to be chosen, but if the pace continues, opening statements could commence soon.
Supreme Court Divided Over Capitol Riot Charges
The Supreme Court seemed divided on allowing a key charge related to the Capitol riot. Justices deliberated on whether prosecutors properly utilized a federal law to charge rioters, including Donald Trump. Conservative members of the court expressed skepticism, questioning prior applications of the statute to similar situations. A ruling is expected by July, with potential implications on rioter convictions and Trump's election interference trial in D.C.
