Testimony is resuming in former President Trump's criminal hush money trial in Lower Manhattan. Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker is expected to take the stand again today. Before the trial resumes, Justice Juan Merchan has called a hearing to decide if Trump has violated his gag order.        Tensions remain high as protesters on a growing number of college campuses continue to call attention to the crisis in the Middle East. Demonstrators at Columbia University, where much of the focus has been, say they want the Ivy League school to divest from companies they say profit from Israel's violations of international law and Palestinian rights. As the protests spread, scores of arrests were made yesterday at Yale as well as New York University.        The owner of the New England Patriots is pulling his donations to Columbia University as pro-Palestinian protests continue. Robert Kraft issued a statement through his organization, the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, saying he's "no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff."        An Australian court is ordering Elon Musk's social media company X to block all users from seeing violent footage of a Sydney church stabbing. The video in question shows a 16-year-old suspect yelling in Arabic and referring to insults made against "the Prophet" before stabbing members of the clergy last week. X had blocked the video for users with Australian IP addresses but the court said that didn't go far enough.       It's primary election day in Pennsylvania. Voters will have the opportunity to voice their opinion on the president, U.S. House and Senate and other important races. On the presidential side of things, both President Biden and former President Trump have already locked in enough delegates to be the nominees of their respective parties setting the stage for a general election rematch.        Gas prices are down just a bit. Triple-A puts today's national average at three-66 a gallon. That's a penny off yesterday's average.
