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 man is in the hospital after setting himself on fire outside the courthouse where former President Trump's hush money trial is being held. It happened in the park where protesters can stand, just as a full jury panel was selected. He was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition.       House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing more of his colleagues calling for his ousting. Arizona Republican Paul Gosar announced today he's supporting the motion to vacate Johnson put forward by Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. The move by Gosar comes as the House is advancing a 95-billion dollar package of military assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.        Maryland's governor says crews are making progress at the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse site. On Friday, Wes Moore said crews have lifted more than 120 containers, making progress toward the goal to remove 140 containers. Moore again vowed to rebuild the bridge.       Gas prices across the U.S. are holding steady at about three-dollars-and-67 cents for a gallon of regular unleaded gas. Triple-A reports that's four cents higher than last week and about the same as it was a year ago. The most expensive average was in California at five-dollars-and-45 cents while the cheapest was in Mississippi at three-11.       The final two spots in the NBA Playoffs will be locked up on Friday. The Miami Heat will play host to the Chicago Bulls in a battle for the eighth-seed in the Eastern Conference. In other Play-In Tournament action, the New Orleans Pelicans will welcome De'Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings to the Big Easy for the final spot in the West.
