Opening statements in former President Trump's "hush-money" trial are expected for Monday. That's according to the judge. The six alternate jurors have been seated and the 12 jurors are already in place. The former President is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments allegedly made to an adult film star just prior to the 2016 election.        A horrific scene in New York today as a man set himself on fire outside the courthouse in Lower Manhattan where former President Trump's criminal trial is taking place. Police rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers and blankets. The person was taken to an ambulance in critical condition.       More conservatives are backing the effort to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson. Arizona Republican Paul Gosar announced today he's supporting the motion to vacate Johnson put forward by Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. The move by Gosar comes as the House is advancing a 95-billion dollar package of military assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.        More anti-Israel protests are taking place at Columbia University this afternoon. Yesterday, the NYPD confirmed that 114 arrests were made yesterday after school officials called in police. Officers cleared out demonstrations that were camping out on the school's south lawn. Mayor Eric Adams said the school's students have a proud history of protests, but they're not allowed to trespass.        The final two spots in the NBA Playoffs will be locked up today. The Miami Heat will play host to the Chicago Bulls in a battle for the eighth-seed in the Eastern Conference. In other Play-In Tournament action, the New Orleans Pelicans will welcome De'Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings to the Big Easy for the final spot in the West.        "American Idol" star Mandisa is dead at 47. Her father confirmed her death to TMZ, saying it was unexpected and shocking. The 2014 Grammy winner and Gospel singer was found dead in her Nashville home, but there's no news yet of the cause of death.
