Ex-National Enquirer publish David Pecker is done giving testimony in Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial. Pecker gave details this week on how he protected Trump from negative stories. Prosecutors are laying the groundwork that leads to cover up payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair. That is the heart of the case against Trump, but his defense points out nothing Pecker did amounts to a crime.       Former President Trump says he'll debate President Biden at the New York courthouse where his trial is taking place if he wants. In a social media post this afternoon he responded to President Biden saying in an interview with radio host Howard Stern he'd be willing to debate Trump. Earlier this month, a dozen of the nation's biggest news organizations posted an open letter urging Biden and Trump to participate in televised debates.       Protests against the Gaza war across the nation have seen hundreds of people be arrested. Anti-Israel protests have sprung up across the country since the NYPD arrested over 100 demonstrators at Columbia University on April 18th. The New York Times says since then, protesting students have been setting up tents at campuses across the country, and over 400 protesters have been arrested for refusing to disperse.       The central U.S. is bracing for severe weather this weekend. The multi-day event is underway and is expected to bring large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes to the region. Major cites that could be hit with multiple rounds of severe storms include Dallas, Kansas City, Omaha and Des Moines.        The national gas price average is up a bit going into the weekend. Triple A reports the national average for a gallon of regular is three-dollars-and-66-cents, up a penny from yesterday. Drivers are paying 13 cents more than a month ago.        The NFL will allow players to wear extra head gear this season to protect against concussions. Guardian Caps are padded head gear worn on top of helmets and they've been mandated for certain positions in training camp the last two years. The league said that has led to a 50-percent drop in concussions for those players.
