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: Jack Smith Urges Supreme Court to Reject Trump's Immunity Claim
- Special counsel Jack Smith pushed the Supreme Court in a court filing ahead of the April 25 arguments to reject former President Donald Trump's stance that he should be given absolute immunity in the federal election interference case.
- Outlined in the 66-page filing were a series of arguments by Smith and his team against Trump's assertion that a president is shielded from criminal prosecution.
- Prosecutors contended that there are no presidential authorities that would grant Trump immunity in this instance, and historical evidence discredits Trump's assertions.
- Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith in 2022 to probe Trump's alleged involvement in disputing the 2020 presidential election results. The Supreme Court is scheduled to conduct oral arguments on Trump's immunity argument on April 25.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign expects $50 million haul at fundraiser
- Former President Trump is expected to rake in approximately $50 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday night, under the leadership of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson.

- The event will help support Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), his Save America PAC, and state GOP parties under their joint fundraising agreement.
- Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.
The Turkish opposition’s stunning turnround: President Erdoğan must resist returning to populist policies, and stifling his competitors
ft.com/content/86c3f1cb-5d40-49dd-8971-66565577f4ae
Quick Glance: The Turkish opposition’s remarkable transformation
- President Erdoğan should avoid reverting to populist policies and suppressing his competitors.
- In a remarkable shift in its fate, the opposition Republican People’s party (CHP) secured 38 percent of the national votes, while support for the AKP dropped to 35 percent.
- The outcomes of the local elections have demonstrated that millions of Turks still believe in the power of the ballot box and are willing to utilize it to express their dissatisfaction with the president and his AKP's governance.
- It is crucial for Erdoğan to maintain the economic course and resist any temptation to return to his detrimental past policies. This would have dire consequences for Turkey. Additionally, there should be no endeavor to utilize state tools to undermine the opposition's achievements.

Quick Glance: Surprising Victory for the Opposition in Turkey's Local Elections
- The Republican People's Party achieved significant success in Sunday's vote by expanding its presence in key cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, and capturing strongholds of the AKP in the Black Sea region and Anatolia.
- The historic victory was unequivocal. Just under a year after the reappointment of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party to lead the country, the presidential majority suffered a painful defeat in the municipal elections on March 31.
- The CHP movement has emerged as the leading political force in the country, surpassing the AKP by nearly two points with 37.5% of the vote. This achievement is particularly impressive as the CHP had struggled to surpass 25% for the past two decades.
- Expanding its successes to other regions, the CHP managed to overthrow power centers in the Black Sea region and central Anatolia. Even in the town of Adiyaman, long governed by the AKP and heavily impacted by the 2023 earthquake, the CHP candidate took a significant lead in the polls.

Quick Glance: New Challenge Emerges for Biden in Ohio
- There is a possibility that President Joe Biden may encounter issues accessing general election ballots in Ohio due to a potential conflict in state law.
- According to a letter in Newsweek's possession, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose's legal advisor is seeking clarification on an evident conflict in Ohio law between the nominating process of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the deadline for the state to certify the party's presidential candidate.
- A deadline for a resolution has been set, with a request for 'immediate attention to the matter'. It was noted that either the Democratic National Committee must reschedule its nominating convention or the Ohio General Assembly must establish an exception to this legal requirement by May 9, 2024.

Quick Glance: Can the BJP Make Inroads in the Southern Indian States of Tamil Nadu and Kerala?
- The BJP may increase its vote share in these states, but votes may not translate into seats in parliament.
- The BJP has had a poor electoral track record in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Despite aggressively wooing Tamil voters, polls suggest that the party may not win seats in the parliaments of these states.
- In Tamil Nadu, the BJP is focusing on promoting Modi and a Tamil leader to attract young voters. In Kerala, the party is trying to court the support of the Christian community and showcase Modi's development strategy.
- Despite intense campaigning in both states, it is expected that the DMK-Congress alliance will sweep all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu and the Congress-led UDF will secure 17 out of 20 seats in Kerala. The BJP may only see an increase in its vote share without winning any seats.
