Suspicion of espionage: Employees of AFD politicians arrested
Quick Glance: Employee of AfD Politician Arrested on Suspicion of Espionage
  • An employee of AfD's lead candidate Maximilian Krah was arrested for allegedly spying for China and conducting surveillance on opposition figures in Germany.

  • The Federal Prosecutor's Office is investigating based on information from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The AfD expressed concern over the arrest and pledged to support the investigation.

  • Federal Interior Minister Faeser called the accusations an attack on European democracy. China denied the allegations. The arrested employee had previously offered information to German authorities but was deemed unreliable.

  • There was no connection between the arrest of Krah's employee and other arrests on Monday. Additionally, allegations against AfD politician Krah regarding possible payments from Kremlin-linked sources were revealed.

Trump’s Truth Social posts grew more belligerent since move from Twitter
Quick Glance: Trump on Verge of $1 Billion Win with Truth Social
  • Former President Donald Trump is on the verge of scoring a major financial bonanza, at least on paper. If Trump Media & Technology Group's share price doesn't dramatically drop before Tuesday's closing bell, Trump is set to receive another 36 million shares as the owner of Truth Social.

  • Even though Trump Media is losing money and Truth Social is very tiny, the new shares Trump is poised to receive would be valued at about $1.3 billion at current prices. Trump's net worth has been fluctuating significantly since his social media company went public last month.

  • While Trump Media's share price has been halved since peaking on March 27, it still trades comfortably above levels that would trigger specific performance provisions in the merger agreement.

  • Trump Media can issue additional shares to pre-merger shareholders like the former president if the dollar volume-weighted average price equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day period starting on March 25.

Donald Trump Suffers Double Loss at Start of 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.
