Questions are flying about whether Donald Trump will put up a defense in his historic hush money criminal trial as the Manhattan district attorney's office winds down its case-in-chief this week.
The former president's attorneys, it seems, don't have any answers, including whether Trump plans to take the stand – something he's suggested he'd like to do. |

Former President Trump urged National Rifle Association (NRA) members to "be rebellious and vote" for him in the 2024 election, after accepting the endorsement from the gun rights advocacy group. Trump pledged to thousands of attendees at NRA's convention in Dallas that he will "stand strong for your rights and liberties," claiming the Second Amendment is "under siege" while President Biden is in office. |

Former President Trump said he wants President Biden to be drug-tested before their first debate. "I'm gonna demand a drug test too, by the way," Trump said at the Minnesota Republican Party's Lincoln Reagan Dinner Friday. "I am, no I really am. I don't want him coming in like the State of the Union, he was high as a kite." |

President Biden will set foot on a college campus Sunday for the first time since universities around the country became hotbeds for protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
Biden is delivering a commencement speech at Morehouse College, an historically Black college in Atlanta, a move that roiled students and faculty of the school and whose president said he would end the ceremony before letting police intervene to stop any potentially disruptive behavior. |

As President Biden strives to prove his pro-manufacturing and anti-China credentials ahead of his likely election rematch with former President Trump, his far-reaching climate agenda could pay a price. Biden this past week hiked tariffs on electric vehicles, solar panels and battery technologies — key tools for fighting global warming that all have significant ties to China. |

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) confirmed via social media that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani had been served in the state's 2020 election case against him. "The final defendant was served moments ago. @RudyGiuliani nobody is above the law," Mayes posted on social media platform X. |

Frustration is growing in Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war against Hamas and his growing split with President Biden, raising fears that the public tensions could invite increased attacks from Iran and its proxies across the region.
Israeli Defense Minister Yovav Gallant is the most senior official to call out his premier, demanding that Netanyahu decide on a day-after plan for the Gaza Strip after defeating Hamas. |

Colleges that used police force to end their recent on-campus student protests are facing criticism for their handling of the situation, but so are the small handful that cut deals to end the demonstrations. The few universities that successfully negotiated to end the pro-Palestinian encampments — among them Northwestern, Brown, Rutgers and Johns Hopkins — made concessions that are proving controversial, particularly complete amnesty or more favorable disciplinary proceedings for protesters who have broken campus rules. |

Marijuana business owners hoping to benefit from the Biden administration's move to reschedule the drug may be in for disappointment, according to experts. The administration announced plans Thursday to move forward with a rule that would reschedule marijuana to Schedule III from Schedule I under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). |

| OPINION | This commencement season, on some college campuses' anti-war protestors are finding resolution with administrators, while on other campuses, things remain contentious. The student protest movement is not a monolith. It's complex and may look different in different places — and depending on one's viewpoint. |
OPINION | At a certain point, none of this makes sense. "This" being President Joe Biden officially becoming the Democratic nominee for president come the convention in August. The number of Democrats who are honestly thrilled by that eventuality would not fill a Mini Cooper. |
