Quick Glance: New York Attorney-General Calls for Invalidation of Donald Trump's $175mn Bond
- Letitia James' office argues that Donald Trump's bond is not backed by sufficient collateral or supported by an appropriately licensed firm.
- The attorney-general's office suggests that the $175mn bond, underwritten by Knight Specialty Insurance Company, should be deemed ineffective, and Trump should be given another week to secure an alternative backer.
- The attorney-general's office contends that the bond is invalid as it is supported by a company that does not possess the required qualification certificate for a valid surety in New York and that insufficient information regarding the collateral was provided.
- Trump's lawyers claimed securing a bond for the full judgment amount was 'impossible', leading the court to reduce it to $175mn. Knight underwrote the bond, yet lacks the necessary certification for a valid surety in New York.

Takeaways from the day a jury was selected to decide Donald Trump’s fate in the hush money trial
edition.cnn.com/2024/04/18/politics/takeaway-day-3-trump-hush-money-trial/index.html
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: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia
- President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.
- The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.
- Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

Jennifer Lopez ‘quietly’ rebrands tour to Greatest Hits show amid low ticket sales
nydailynews.com/2024/04/03/jlo-tour-low-ticket-sales-greatest-hits-pivot/
Quick Glance: Jennifer Lopez: Tour Rebrand, Canceled Dates, and Low Ticket and Album Sales
- Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming tour appears to have been revamped, with some online ads now labeling it as a 'greatest hits' concert series rather than a promotional push for her struggling latest album.
- The tour, originally set for June to August in North America, has been repositioned as a greatest hits tour instead of a promo tour for her recent album, according to reports from Variety.
- Numerous tickets for future shows remain unsold even after two months since their release, such as those for her performances on August 16 and 17 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
- A sequence of seven dates between August 20 and 31 was canceled in March. Variety suggested this was likely due to poor ticket sales, while People Magazine attributed the cancellations to logistical issues with the tour organizers.

Quick Glance: Jack Smith Urges Supreme Court to Reject Trump's Immunity Claim

- 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.
