 Michael M Santiago/Getty ImagesSoon after he was indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over attempts to conceal a $130,000 payoff to a porn star, Donald Trump insisted he'd be absolutely delighted to take the stand at his criminal hush-money trial.
"Yeah I would testify, absolutely," Trump said in April. "I'm testifying. I tell the truth. All I can do is tell the truth."
Earlier this month, the former president told reporters he would "probably" testify.

 AFP/Getty ImagesThe Associated Press brutally criticized the Israeli government on Tuesday after soldiers with the Israeli Defense Forces seized a camera, equipment, and cut its live feed in southern Israel, citing a new censorship law.
"The Associated Press decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government to shut down our longstanding live feed showing a view into Gaza and seize AP equipment," Lauren Easton, the wire's chief communications officer, said in a statement. "The shutdown was not based on the content of the feed but rather an abusive use by the Israeli government of the country's new foreign broadcaster law."
The law, passed last month, allows Israel to shut down any foreign news outlet it believes to be a security risk. It was widely viewed as an effort to shut down the Israel operations of Qatar-based Al Jazeera, which an Israeli minister described as "acting from within against us." The Israel government eventually shut down Al Jazeera in the country on May 5.

 Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/ReutersEarlier this month, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker briefly emerged from the cave he calls home to tell the female graduates of Benedictine College that their most rewarding experience in life will come from serving a man and bearing his children.
Butker—who spends four months out of the year at a job that entails kicking an oval ball through raised uprights to the cheers of beer-soaked masses—believes American women are being told a diabolical lie.
Their life begins, he says, not when they make a career for themselves but when they begin their "vocation as a wife and as a mother." This will be quite the news flash to the girlfriend of Butker's teammate, Travis Kelce, who is arguably the most successful female entrepreneur on the planet (and unmarried and childless).

 Michael M. Santiago/Pool via Reuters Donald Trump's Truth Social account has boosted a campaign video that spoke of a "unified Reich" in America if he reclaims the White House in the November election.
The 30-second video, which is still up, features a series of headlines predicting "what happens after Donald Trump wins," with answers like, "Economy booms!" and "15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported." One headline referenced the "creation of a unified Reich," using a term meaning "realm" or "empire" that is usually associated with Adolf Hitler's Third Reich in Nazi Germany.
The Biden campaign reacted to the video with alarm on Monday night, with campaign spokesman James Singer accusing Trump of "parroting Mein Kampf" in a statement posted to X.

Israel and the United States have both strongly condemned the International Criminal Court's decision to pursue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on war crimes charges, calling it "outrageous" and seeking support from other allies in opposing the court's moves. On Monday, ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan outlined specific charges against Netanyahu and Gallant, including "starvation of civilians as a method of warfare" and "extermination." The ICC also sought arrest warrants for three leaders of Hamas — Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif — for war crimes including extermination and murder, the taking of captives, torture, rape and other acts of sexual violence. The warrants for Israel's top leaders, which must still be approved by a panel of ICC judges, is "a watershed event in the history of international justice," says war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody. "This is the first time that a Western or pro-Western leader is [the] subject of an indictment request."
We also speak with Israeli historian Ilan Pappé, author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, who says Israel's strident response to the ICC prosecutor is no surprise. "This is the kind of Israel we have in 2024. It doesn't care about international law. It doesn't care about international opinion," says Pappé.

At Morehouse College, students and faculty were divided over inviting President Joe Biden to receive an honorary degree and give a speech at the school's commencement ceremony. Morehouse valedictorian DeAngelo Fletcher, who had a Palestinian flag affixed to his graduation cap, called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza during his speech, and assistant professor of sociology Taura Taylor stood with her fist raised, facing away from Biden as he addressed the crowd. "I wanted to take it upon myself to, one, stand up for my principles, and then also kind of stand in solidarity for my students as well as my other fellow faculty members who felt that we were caught in this moment where it seemed like we, as a community, selected Biden, when we all did not," says Taylor. We also speak with Samuel Livingston, an associate professor of Africana studies, who held a flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo behind Biden as he spoke. "We held up the flag because the people of the Congo do not get enough media attention in terms of the active genocide that the United States is supporting through its support of Rwanda," says Livingston. "Congo deserves justice, reparations from the United States for the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, conspiring in that assassination, and the people today deserve a country that is built on peace and justice."

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has announced he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and three leaders of Hamas: Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyeh and Mohammed Deif. The charges against Netanyahu and Gallant include starvation of civilians, extermination, intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population, among other crimes. The charges against the Hamas leaders include extermination, murder, taking hostages, rape, among other crimes. "It places Israel's leaders of this genocidal onslaught on the Gaza Strip in the dock," says Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani, who explains why this will be "very significant" for Israel's allies and signatories to the ICC. "They now have to make a choice between Israeli impunity and obligations under the Rome Statute."
