The Supreme Court will convene today to consider if the Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to the January Sixth rioters. Fischer vs the United States initially went to the defendant Joseph Fischer before it was successfully appealed by a divided decision in the District of Columbia Circuit.       House Speaker Mike Johnson is unveiling a plan for foreign aid, calling for four separate bills with funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other priorities. Johnson explained his plan after a closed-door GOP conference meeting Monday after months of delay. Each bill would be voted on separately before the end of the week.       Three bills were brought to the House of Representatives Monday aiming to impose penalties on Iran and its proxies in the Middle East after its massive missile and drone attack against Israel over the weekend.       "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez is being sentenced to 18 months in prison for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. A New Mexico jury found Gutierrez guilty for negligence in loading the live ammo into Alec Baldwin's gun on set, which killed Hutchins.        The University of Southern California will not be having a valedictorian speech this year after security concerns related to a speaker's comments online. The University maintains that they are not canceling the speech due to her comments but rather because of the unprecedented risks of harassment and violence that could break out.        The Indiana Fever have selected Caitlin Clark with the number one pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. In her senior at Iowa season, Clark became the all-time NCAA Division One men's and women's scoring leader.
