The hearing to determine if former President Trump has violated his gag order is underway. The order bars Trump from criticizing anyone connected to his New York criminal hush money trial. Prosecutors want him fined three-thousand bucks.       Former National Enquirer publish David Pecker is expected to take the stand in Trump's hush money trial. Prosecutors say he had an arrangement to protect Trump from any potentially harmful stories, especially in the run-up to the 2016 election. Trump is accused of covering up hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels aimed at keeping her quiet about an extra-marital affair.        More protests calling attention to the crisis in the Middle East are happening at a growing number of college campuses. 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. Demonstrations also took place on the West Coast, with police reporting a large gathering on the campus Cal Poly Humboldt.       Severe thunderstorms may bring hail, wind damage and tornadoes to the central U.S. later this week. The first round of weather is expected to hit the Plains and Midwest starting on Thursday. Areas from Northwest Texas to western and central parts of Oklahoma and Kansas will be under the threat of wind damage and large hail.       A high-speed, electric rail line between Las Vegas and Los Angeles is now being built. The route is projected to cut the travel time between the cities from about three-to-four hours to a little more than two. The 218-mile rail line is expected to open to the public by 2028.        Home teams are still undefeated in the NBA playoffs after last night. The Cleveland Cavaliers picked up a 96-86 win over the Orlando Magic while the New York Knicks took down the Philadelphia 76ers 104-101. And in Denver, the reigning champion Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 101-99.
