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.        Israel says the ceasefire proposal agreed to by the Palestinian militant group Hamas is "far" from its "necessary requirements."

In the meantime, Israel has said it will continue with operations in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.        Chinese-owned TikTok is suing the U.S. government over efforts to have the popular app banned in the country.

The bill aims to force ByteDance to sell TikTok or have it banned in the U.S.        The Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to "Scouting America."
