Trump, heckling and threats in the courtroom |
A federal judge threatened to kick former President Donald Trump from the courtroom Wednesday after he ignored warnings to keep silent during testimony by writer E. Jean Carroll during a civil defamation trial. Trump traded snips with Judge Lewis Kaplan after Carroll's lawyers complained that the jury could hear him disparaging the former advice columnist's testimony. 👉 Here's the latest from the courtroom. |
What is the trial about? Carroll, 80, claims Trump, 77, raped her almost 30 years ago. The trial will determine what, if any, damages Trump might owe Carroll after he publicly denied her allegations in 2019 when he was president. In May, a federal jury found Trump liable for defaming and sexually abusing Carroll. | E. Jean Carroll arrives at Manhattan federal court on May 8, 2023 in New York City.

The Princess of Wales, 42, underwent a "successful" surgery on Tuesday and was expected to be in the hospital 10 to 14 days before returning home to recover. Also headed for some sick days is King Charles III, 75, who will be treated for an enlarged prostate, the palace said Wednesday.

If you're sick of the bitter cold, there is some good news on the horizon: Next week looks to be significantly milder nearly coast to coast. In fact, about 90% of the nation should see normal to above-normal temperatures by the middle of next week, according to AccuWeather. But before that, we have to endure more cold: After a slightly milder Wednesday, a new surge of colder air is forecast to drop south through the end of the week. After that, temperatures will be 8 to 14 degrees above normal in the Plains and the Midwest next week, forecasters said – a far cry from the brutal, record-cold temperatures those regions have experienced this week. ☃️ Here's the full weather outlook. | Genevieve Kuhar, left, and Brody Kuhar play in the snow with their dog Maggie at Overton Park in Memphis, Tennessee, on Wednesday.

Houthis added back to global terrorist list |
After waves of attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the Biden administration Wednesday relisted Iranian-backed Houthis as a "specially designated global terrorist" group. Since last Thursday, the Pentagon, with initial military support from Great Britain, has launched three attacks on sites used by the Houthis to target and launch missiles at commercial and naval ships in the Red Sea. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the Red Sea attacks "fit the textbook definition of terrorism" in a statement announcing the return of Ansarallah, also known as the Houthis, to the terrorist list. 👉 What to know about the designation. | | | | After months of authoritarian rhetoric, Trump was trying to appeal to Democrats, moderates and independents after winning the Iowa Caucuses. | | | |  | Arantxa Sánchez Vicario won three French Open singles titles and a U.S. Open championship before retiring in 2002. | | | | CNN scrapped its debate scheduled for Sunday, just two days before the state's primaries, citing a lack of participation. | | | | Perlman and DeVito still aren't divorced.
