Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Gun Manufacturers Seek US Supreme Court Appeal in Mexico's Lawsuit
- U.S. gun manufacturers are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their challenge against Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit, accusing them of facilitating the trafficking of firearms to violent drug cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border.
- Eight companies, including Smith & Wesson Brands and Sturm, Ruger & Co, argued that a lower court wrongly determined that the case qualified for an exception to a U.S. law providing broad protection to the firearms industry from misuse lawsuits.
- The companies argued that without the U.S. Supreme Court's intervention, the U.S. firearms industry would face years of costly litigation by a 'foreign sovereign' attempting to push the industry into adopting gun control measures rejected by American voters.
- In its 2021 lawsuit, Mexico alleged that the companies undermined its strict gun laws by designing, marketing, and distributing military-style assault weapons they knew would arm drug cartels, resulting in murders, extortions, and kidnappings in the country.

Arizona Will Not Enforce 1864 Abortion Law Until June: Arizona’s abortion ban is slated to go into effect on June 8, the Democratic attorney general said.
forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2024/04/19/arizona-will-not-enforce-1864-abortion-law-until-june/
Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban
- Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.
- Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.
- State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.
- A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.
