The New York trial of former President Donald Trump is set to resume today with the judge deciding if Trump has violated his gag order. Prosecutors want him fined three-thousand bucks. Trump supporters say it's unconstitutional that Trump is limited to what he can talk about, while everyone else is allowed to speak freely about the case.       Former President Trump says his criminal case boils down to a "legal expense" and is only meant to keep him off the campaign trail. After the trial adjourned Monday, Trump told reporters all of his cases are coming out of the White House to influence the election.       The Supreme Court will hear arguments in two big cases today. The first involves a man from El Salvador who was denied a visa to be with his wife, an American citizen, in the U.S. He eventually learned he was rejected because an official saw his tattoos and suspected he might have a criminal background. He doesn't, but the decision to keep him out has held. The other case involves whether the National Labor Relations Board can order employers to rehire workers they say were fired without just cause.       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.       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."       Women in the hospital are less likely to die if they're treated by female doctors. That's according to a new study that also found they were less likely to be readmitted to the hospital. The study, published Monday in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, found that among women 65 and older, eight-point-15 percent treated by women died within 30 days, compared with eight-point-38 percent treated by males.
