Donald Trump's hush money trial is in recess until Thursday after some salacious testimony from adult film star Stormy Daniels. Daniels took the stand Tuesday, and went into detail about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump -- leading the judge to scold the prosecution about her "degree of detail." Trump is accused of falsifying business records tied to paying Daniels to stay quiet about an alleged affair just prior to the 2016 election.        The judge in former President Trump's classified documents case is indefinitely postponing the trial start date. The judge cited a failure to resolve outstanding pretrial litigation about how the classified docs would be used during the trial. The trial was to start in late May, but now will probably be delayed until after the election.        The death toll in Oklahoma may rise after dozens of tornadoes pummeled the state. The small city of Barnsdall, a 40-minute drive north of Tulsa, was wrecked by a massive tornado that left at least one person dead. Today, the severe storm threat continues.        Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene is naming her price for backing down on her threat to call a vote to remove Speaker Mike Johnson. Greene told reporters ahead of a meeting with Johnson today she wants no further aid for Ukraine and the defunding of the special counsel probes into Donald Trump. She's also calling for a return to the Hastert Rule, which means no legislation should be brought to a vote without support from a majority of the House majority.        Apple is coming out with a new iPad Pro and iPad Air tablets. CEO Tim Cook said it's "the biggest day for iPad since its introduction." Apple calls the iPad Pro its thinnest ever, at just over five-millimeters thick, and it has new M4 chip, which it calls "outrageously powerful" for A-I.        The NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs continue tonight. In the Eastern Conference, the Carolina Hurricanes take on the Rangers in New York for game two of their series. The Rangers hold a one to nothing series lead. In the West, the Colorado Avalanche will start their series against the Stars in Dallas.
