Testimony is resuming this morning in former President Trump's criminal hush money trial. Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker is expected to take the stand again. The trial is expected to last four to six weeks. The judge in former President Trump's hush money trial is reserving decision on whether or not Trump violated a gag order. A hearing to determine if Trump has violated his gag order was held this morning before testimony in the trial resumed. After arguing Trump is "being very careful to comply" with order, the judge told the lawyer he's "losing all credibility with this court."        Tensions are high on a growing number of college campuses as protesters continue to call attention to the crisis in the Middle East. Demonstrators at Columbia University say they want the Ivy League school to divest from companies they say profit from Israel's violations of international law and Palestinian rights. As the protests spread, a number of arrests were made yesterday at Yale as well as New York University. Demonstrations also took place on the West Coast, with police reporting a large gathering on the campus Cal Poly Humboldt.       A search is underway for a former police officer accused of killing his ex-wife and underage girlfriend in Washington state. That's according to the New York Post. Elias Huizar is accused of killing his ex Amber Rodriguez at the elementary school where she worked on Monday and a second victim, identified as a 17-year-old he had been dating, was found dead near the school shortly after. The alleged murders took place on the same day Huizar was set to appear in court for allegedly raping two 16-year old girls.        The case of an Arizona rancher accused of killing a migrant on his property is being declared a mistrial. George Kelly was being charged in the shooting death of a Mexican man, who was crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in the Nogales area illegally in 2023. After over 15 hours of deliberations, the judge declared a mistrial Monday.        Eminem is celebrating his 16th straight year of being sober. On Saturday, the Detroit rapper took to Instagram to talk about the milestone. He posted a photo showing his new silver Alcoholics Anonymous coin in the palm of his hand. The "16" coin means Eminem hasn't touch a drop of alcohol or any other type of drug in 16 years.
