Jury selection will continue tomorrow in Donald Trump's historic hush money trial. During the process, reports say the former President smiled at a group of potential jurors when the judge referred to him as "defendant." Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.        Anti-Israel protests took place on interstates, roads, and bridges in cities across the U.S. today. They converged on New York's Brooklyn Bridge and clashed with police. Meanwhile on the West Coast, they completely blocked southbound traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge.        "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez is set to be sentenced today. Gutierrez faces 18 months in prison for negligence in loading the live ammo into Alec Baldwin's gun on set, causing the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin has also been charged with involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins' death, and is scheduled to head to trial in July.       It's crunch time for taxpayers and the IRS is making it easier for some last minute-filers ahead of tonight's deadline. The agency released an update for Direct File, its free tax filing program. The update allows taxpayers in a dozen states to import the previous year's information from the IRS in order to easily validate the current year's return.       Record labels have come to an agreement with the Screen Actors Guild on protections for artists from the use of AI. SAG-AFTRA announced Friday that the agreement with major labels follows protections the union and the Writers Guild of America reached with production studios last year after their respective strikes. They included landmark protections around using artificial intelligence as the evolving technology poses increasing threats to the creative workforce.        The Indiana Fever have selected Caitlin Clark with the number one pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. The former Iowa guard set numerous records during her career with the Hawkeyes. In her senior season, Clark became the all-time NCAA Division One men's and women's scoring leader.
