It appears Trump is making a lot of moves on the international stage. President Trump has issued an ultimatum to Hamas to release all the remaining hostages by this Saturday or “all hell is going to break loose.” In addition, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke for around 90 minutes on the phone on Wednesday, in which Putin agreed to “immediately” begin negotiations over the war in Ukraine.

Massachusetts’ highest court rejected Karen Read’s defense bid to drop two of the charges against Read: second-degree murder and leaving the scene of a fatal accident in the death of her boyfriend, John O’Keefe. The push to drop two of Read’s charges came after Read’s defense argued that five jurors from the first trial later said they were deadlocked only on the manslaughter count, that the jurors unanimously agreed she wasn’t guilty on the charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene. This latest ruling clears the way for a second, new trial this year.
