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: Prysmian Discovers Vibrant US Solution for Gloomy Cable Outlook
- Italian cable maker Prysmian is once again in expansion mode, having agreed to acquire smaller U.S. rival Encore Wire for about $4.2 billion.
- While the purchase price is steep, the stronger presence in the more attractive North American market is expected to inject vitality into the slightly dimmer cable sector outlook.
- Prysmian expects the acquisition to result in annual savings of around 140 million euros, contributing significantly to an increase in EBITDA.
- Expanding into the U.S. could help Prysmian reignite its electrification journey, given the less fragmented market compared to Europe and the need for upgrades in the outdated U.S. distribution grids.
