Former President Donald Trump made history on April 15 when he became the first former U.S. president to stand trial in a criminal case when he appeared in a New York City courtroom for allegedly falsifying business payments during the 2016 campaign. The former president took a seat at the defense table inside a Manhattan court as the jury selection process began. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee will now have to be present in court four days a week for the next six or more weeks.
Israel’s President Isaac Herzog says his nation isn’t “seeking war” with Iran following the Islamic Republic’s recent attack, but that the barrage of missiles fired at the state of Israel does require some kind of response. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxies claim to have launched over 300 rockets and drones toward Israel on Saturday in retaliation for an April 1 attack on its consular building in the Syrian capital of Damascus that adjoined Iran’s Embassy. Israel said it and its allies intercepted 99 percent of the projectiles.
At least four people, including a bishop, were wounded in a knife attack during a service at a church in a suburb of Sydney on Monday, police and witnesses said, triggering clashes between angry residents and police.
