- At his first rallies since the start of his criminal trial, Donald Trump acknowledged the event that’s now consuming his spring and pulling him, most days, away from the campaign trail.
Addressing crowds in Wisconsin and Michigan on Wednesday, Trump called the New York judge in his case “crooked,” “corrupt” and “totally conflicted.” He called the trial “fake,” “bullshit” and part of a “kangaroo court,” while taking care not to disparage witnesses in the proceedings after being found in contempt of court on Tuesday for having done so recently.

- Description
- On Wednesday, Columbia University president Minouche Shafik faced the House committee whose grilling led to the ouster of her Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania counterparts last year.
Panel members of the hearing focused on campus antisemitism and wanted to know how Shafik was protecting Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus with frequent pro-Palestinian protests.
One day later, Shafik made national headlines — calling on the NYPD to descend on Columbia’s campus and arrest a group of students who had set up tents and refused to leave their “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” for 30 hours. The encampment, Shafik wrote to the NYPD, posed “a clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University.”

- Donald Trump insisted his gag order be lifted on Friday after prosecutors accused him of repeatedly violating it.
Under the gag order issued last month by Justice Juan Merchan, the Manhattan judge presiding over the hush money trial, Trump is prohibited from making any public statements about potential witnesses “concerning their potential participation” in the case.
Prosecutors filed motions this week to hold Donald Trump in contempt for social media posts they allege violated his gag order in the case.
"The judge has to take off this gag order," Trump said. "It's very, very unfair."
