A horrific scene in New York today as a man set himself on fire outside the courthouse in Lower Manhattan where former President Trump's criminal trial is taking place. Police rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers and blankets. The person was taken to an ambulance in critical condition.       Former President Trump is back in court today with all 12 jurors and six alternates now selected in his criminal hush money trial in New York City. The panel that will decide the fate of the first ex-president in American history to stand trial on criminal charges consists of seven men and five women. Opening statements are expected on Monday.        Israel has carried out what's being described as a limited retaliatory strike against Iran. U.S. officials confirm missiles have struck a number of locations inside Iran with no reports of casualties. Several explosions were reported near an airbase in the Iranian city of Isfahan, home to a number of sites linked to Iran's nuclear program.       House Speaker Mike Johnson's foreign aid package is clearing a major hurdle with the help of Democrats. The House approved a rule vote today to begin debate on individual bills to provide military aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. The House is expected to vote for final passage over the weekend.        The NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs begin this weekend. On Saturday, the New York Islanders will begin their series against the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh and the Toronto Maple Leafs will travel to Boston for game one against the Bruins. On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Lightning will start their series against the Florida Panthers and the Washington Capitols will travel to New York to face the Rangers in game one.        Taylor Swift is out with a second installment to her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department." The highly-anticipated new album dropped at midnight, featuring 16 songs including the first single, "Fortnite." Shortly after 2 a.m. Eastern, Swift announced that it was actually a "secret double album," and released 15 more songs that she called "the second installment" of "The Tortured Poets Department."
