Former President Trump's criminal hush money trial is back underway in New York City. Hope Hicks is on the stand today. She served as Trump's press secretary during his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments made to an adult film star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.        Protesters at Columbia University who insisted police fired a shot while clearing the campus Tuesday night were right. The Manhattan DA's office confirmed that an officer did fire a weapon once while clearing protestors out of Columbia's Hamilton Hall. A source telling the New York Post it was a single shot. No one was hurt.        Russia's war on Ukraine is unlikely to end anytime soon. That's what Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said during a Senate hearing this week. Haines said Russia has intensified strikes on Ukraine's infrastructure to hamper Kyiv's ability to move arms and troops, slow defense production and force it to consider negotiations.        Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar is expected to be indicted by the Justice Department. That's according to NBC News. The details of the indictment are not clear at this time. Cuellar's home and campaign office in Laredo, Texas were raided in 2022 as part of an investigation into Azerbaijan [[ a-zr-bai-jaan ]] and a group of American businessmen with ties to the country, but it's not clear if the indictment is related to that investigation. He's denied any wrongdoing.       A stretch of the busy Interstate 95 in Connecticut will be closed until at least Monday following a fiery crash. A tanker loaded with fuel was involved in a multi-vehicle crash under a bridge in Norwalk Thursday and the crash resulted in damage to the overpass. The bridge is being demolished. Officials are hopeful to try and have I-95 reopened on Monday.        The NHL Playoff's roll on tonight with two game sixes. The Vancouver Canucks will head to Nashville to take on the Predators in game six. Then, the Dallas Stars will head to Vegas to face the Golden Knights in game six of that series.
