- A deal has been struck in Trump's civil fraud case, securing a $175 million bond in a money market account with court oversight. In his hush money trial, prosecutors allege election interference through hush money payments, while the defense seeks to discredit key witness Michael Cohen, citing his legal troubles and supposed obsession with Trump.
- Police arrested dozens pro-Palestinian protestors at Yale and NYU as demonstrations over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalated, leading to police crackdowns after Columbia University canceled in-person classes. Meanwhile, an independent review found that Israel’ claims that UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff were affiliated with Hamas are unsubstantiated.
- The Supreme Court is deliberating on the constitutionality of anti-camping laws that penalize people for sleeping outside, in a landmark case addressing the growing homelessness crisis. The case has sparked debate on whether such laws violate the Eighth Amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment, with questions being asked about homeless individuals being criminalized for a basic human necessity like sleeping.
