Trump asks judge in Georgia election case to dismiss 2 more counts against him
Former President Donald Trump, in a court filing Wednesday, asked the judge overseeing his Georgia election interference case to dismiss two more counts against him. Trump's filing urges the judge to dismiss counts 15 and 27 of the indictment, which charge him with conspiracy to commit filing of false documents as well as the filing of false documents. The first charge relates to the so-called alternate elector plot, and accuses Trump and other defendants of mailing false documents related to that effort to the chief judge of U.S. district court in Georgia, as an alleged "substantial step." The second charge accuses Trump and attorney John Eastman of filing a document that included "materially false statements" in a federal lawsuit.
Jewish student protesters celebrate Passover Seder in encampments
As pro-Palestinian protesters gather in solidarity and their tents, sleeping bags and banners dot the greenspace on campuses across the U.S., many students -- Jewish and non-Jewish alike -- could be seen at makeshift tables this week over a Seder dinner to honor the Passover holiday. The start of this year's Jewish holiday of Passover, which marks the Hebrews' liberation from slavery in Egypt, coincided with intensifying calls against Israel's war in Gaza on college campuses. "We as Jews have this idea of 'Tikkun olam' -- to repair the world," said Zoe Kanter, a student protester with Yale Jews for Ceasefire. "And that's really a guiding principle for me … recognizing where there is injustice and suffering and working to repair it any way possible." At Passover Seders -- when Jews traditionally gather to recount the story of the Exodus, share symbolic dishes and pray -- participants reflect on themes of oppression, persecution, freedom and liberation, with many bringing contemporary social justice issues into their Seder rituals.
