The former president is being accused of falsifying business records to cover up payments to an adult film actress to keep her quiet about an alleged affair.

Governor Greg Abbott came out against the protesters, and called them "hate-filled."        The abortion issue is heating up in the U.S. The Supreme Court on Wednesday heard a closely-watched case over whether Idaho's near-total abortion ban conflicts with a federal law requiring hospitals to provide emergency care. Also on Wednesday, Arizona lawmakers voted to repeal a Civil War-era abortion law that bans nearly all abortions.        The seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in Gaza will be honored this morning at Washington National Cathedral. The workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike April 1st while bringing food aid to people in the war torn Palestinian territory.
