Donald Trump is back in a Manhattan courtroom this morning for his criminal hush money trial. Jurors will hear more testimony from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who explained this week how he protected Trump from negative stories. Trump's lawyers will also be in Washington, DC to try to convince the U.S. Supreme Court that the former president shouldn't face charges for his alleged election interference.        The head of the FBI says the bureau is working with colleges to warn of antisemitic threats of violence. Thousands of students have been protesting across the U.S. over Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip. FBI Director Christopher Wray told NBC News on Wednesday that the bureau doesn't directly track university protests, but is giving schools information on potential threats.        Arizona's House of Representatives has voted to repeal a Civil War-era abortion law. State Democrats on Wednesday successfully pushed through a bill that repeals the 1864 law that banned nearly all abortions. The bill now heads to the state Senate where it is expected to be passed early next month.       Parts of the Central U.S. are bracing for severe weather today. Large hail, heavy downpours and isolated tornadoes are possible today from the Texas Panhandle to southern Nebraska, with wind gusts reaching 85 miles per hour. More dangerous weather is forecast on Friday and Saturday from Oklahoma to Iowa.        Shares of Facebook company Meta dropped Wednesday in after-hours trading after an underwhelming first quarter earnings report.
