Opening statements in former President Trump's "hush-money" trial are expected for Monday. That's according to the judge. The six alternate jurors have been seated and the 12 jurors are already in place. The former President is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments allegedly made to an adult film star just prior to the 2016 election.        A horrific scene in New York today as a man set himself on fire outside the courthouse in Lower Manhattan where former President Trump's criminal trial is taking place. Police rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers and blankets. The person was taken to an ambulance in critical condition.       Israel carried out what's being described as a limited retaliatory strike against Iran. U.S. officials confirm missiles have struck a number of locations inside Iran with no reports of casualties. Several explosions were reported near an airbase in the Iranian city of Isfahan, home to a number of sites linked to Iran's nuclear program.       House Speaker Mike Johnson's foreign aid package is clearing a major hurdle with the help of Democrats. The House approved a rule vote today to begin debate on individual bills to provide military aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. The House is expected to vote for final passage over the weekend.        The NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs begin this weekend. On Saturday, the New York Islanders will begin their series against the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh and the Toronto Maple Leafs will travel to Boston for game one against the Bruins. On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Lightning will start their series against the Florida Panthers and the Washington Capitols will travel to New York to face the Rangers in game one.        Taylor Swift is out with a second installment to her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department." The highly-anticipated new album dropped at midnight, featuring 16 songs including the first single, "Fortnite." Shortly after 2 a.m. Eastern, Swift announced that it was actually a "secret double album," and released 15 more songs that she called "the second installment" of "The Tortured Poets Department."
