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: Investigation of Key Bridge Incident

The FBI has initiated a criminal investigation focusing on the colossal container vessel that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last month.

Authorities are examining the sequence of events that led to the Dali, a 985-foot Singaporean ship, losing power as it departed from the Port of Baltimore and colliding with one of the bridge's support pillars.

Federal agents appeared to have boarded the ship on Monday morning to conduct a search.

President Biden and Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) have expressed their commitment to hold accountable any entities potentially responsible for the bridge's destruction.

Simon Harris poised to become taoiseach: At 37, Mr Harris is a year younger than Leo Varadkar was when he took the same job in 2017.

bbc.com/news/articles/ce7r19g90gno

Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister

Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.

A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.

Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.

While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.

Jack Smith urges Supreme Court to reject Trump's immunity claim: "No person is above the law"

axios.com/2024/04/09/jack-smith-supreme-court-trump-immunity

Quick Glance: Special Counsel Urges Supreme Court to Reject Trump's Immunity Claim

The office of special counsel Jack Smith has filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to reject former President Donald Trump's appeal claiming immunity from prosecution in his 2020 election subversion case.

Smith argues that Trump's immunity theory lacks historical precedent, contradicting the founders' vision of the country.

The special counsel accuses Trump of suggesting presidents should be immune from prosecution for all criminal acts while in office, freeing them from crimes like bribery and murder.

The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on April 25, allowing Trump's team to respond to Smith's arguments in their upcoming brief.

Quick Glance: Vatican Denounces Gender Surgery, Surrogacy, and Gender Theory

The Vatican declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, equating them with abortion and euthanasia.

Rejecting 'gender theory,' the Vatican emphasized that people should not tamper with the gender they were created with by God.

The new document underscores that biological sex and the sociocultural role of sex can be distinguished but not separated.

The Vatican's most detailed stance on gender emphasizes the complementarity of biologically male and female sex organs for creating new life.
