Trump’s increasingly charged criminal trial: This case was always bound to have major political implications. Here’s what we can say so far.

Trump’s increasingly charged criminal trial
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.

US Senate dismisses first of two impeachment charges against Mayorkas
Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas
  • The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

  • With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.

  • Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.

  • Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.

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.

Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
  • The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.

  • The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'

  • While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.

  • Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

Why Is Trump Confusing Jimmy Kimmel With Al Pacino All of a Sudden?
Quick Glance: Trump Mixes Up Jimmy Kimmel and Al Pacino in Rant
  • Former President Donald Trump recently mixed up Jimmy Kimmel and actor Al Pacino in a bizarre rant on social media about Kimmel's hosting of the 2024 Academy Awards.

  • Trump claims Kimmel experienced a 'classic blackout' at the Oscars and forgot to say the famous mandatory line 'AND THE WINNER IS.'

  • Kimmel responded to Trump's mix-up with a humorous comment, referencing Trump's self-proclaimed status as a 'very stable genius' in 2018.

  • Trump's rant about Kimmel seems to be in response to his monologue on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' discussing Trump's declining wealth and hush money trial.

Quick Glance: Claudia Sheinbaum to Assess Mexican Army's Role in Companies
  • Mexico's leading presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum plans to evaluate the military's role in the corporations placed under its control by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

  • Sheinbaum also discussed the National Guard during a banking convention in Acapulco, suggesting it should be moved under the Defense Ministry. She emphasized that this did not automatically make the Guard a military institution.

  • AMLO, known for expanding the military's power and reach, leaving it richer and bigger than ever, may pose challenges for Sheinbaum if she wins the presidency.

  • Sheinbaum highlighted that the growth in construction over the past six years was a result of the army and private companies involved in projects like the Maya Train.
