Former President Trump is back in a New York City court this morning for his criminal hush money trial. Jurors will again hear testimony from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker. Trump faces felony charges of falsifying business records to cover up payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair.       The Supreme Court is hearing arguments this morning about former President Trump's claim that he is immune from prosecution for anything done while in the Oval Office. Trump has argued he must have first been impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate. Trump's attorneys will try to convince the Court that Trump shouldn't face charges for alleged election interference.       Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is having his conviction for sex crimes in New York overturned. The New York Court of Appeals ruled Weinstein did not receive a fair trial. The court found the judge in his trial made an error allowing women to testify about alleged sexual assaults committed by Weinstein that were not part of the charges against him.       College campuses across the country continue to see protests pop up over the Israel-Hamas war. The FBI is working with colleges to warn of antisemitic threats of violence. Protests at Columbia University on Friday resulted in the arrest of over 100 students.       Severe weather is threatening the Central U.S. today. Large hail, heavy downpours and isolated tornadoes are possible today from the Texas Panhandle to southern Nebraska, with wind gusts reaching 85 miles per hour. More dangerous weather is forecast on Friday and Saturday from Oklahoma to Iowa, and will push eastward from Arkansas to Illinois on Sunday.       Three teams will look to take commanding three-nothing leads in their NBA Playoffs series tonight.

In the last game of the night, the Los Angeles Lakers will look to avoid going down three-games-to-none against the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
