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.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Democrats fear Kennedy's fame and political stances may jeopardize support for Biden, while Republicans criticize his environmental and anti-corporate positions.

Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.

How effective are California's homelessness programs? Audit finds state hasn't been keeping track

Quick Glance: California's Lack of Oversight on Billions for Homelessness Programs: State Audit

A new state audit report criticizes California for failing to track the effectiveness of its billion-dollar spending on homelessness programs.

California is faulted for not taking enough measures to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs.

The audit revealed that two programs, including the Homekey program by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the CalWORKs Housing Support Program by the California Department of Social Services, appear cost-effective.

The audit calls for improved data collection and public reporting of the costs and outcomes of homelessness programs in California.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: MLAs Nitesh Rane, Geeta Jain Booked for 'Hate' Speeches After Mira Road Clashes: Police Update Bombay HC

The Maharashtra government informed the Bombay High Court that FIRs had been filed due to speeches made by MLAs Nitesh Rane and Geeta Jain during and after communal clashes in Mira Road.

Police commissioners decided to initiate criminal investigations against the leaders, resulting in multiple FIRs being registered for incitement to riots and promoting enmity between groups.

Petitioners argued that the politicians' speeches clearly constituted hate speech offenses, pushing for FIR registration under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including defiling places of worship and causing public unrest.

Police registered several complaints related to the violence in Mira Road in January, filing FIRs against the politicians in different areas. The hearing is adjourned to June 19.
