Trump attends wake of slain New York officer, calls for 'law and order,' to show contrast with Biden
Donald Trump has attended the wake of a New York City police officer gunned down in the line of duty. The former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee called for “law and order' Thursday at the visitation on Long Island for Officer Jonathan Diller, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop days earlier. Trump has made crime a focus of his third White House campaign and said, "We've got to toughen it up." His campaign sought to contrast his visit with President Joe Biden, who is also in New York for a celebrity-studded fundraising extravaganza with Democratic former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
The top United Nations court has ordered Israel to take measures including opening more land crossings to allow food, water, fuel and other supplies into Gaza to tackle crippling shortages in the war-ravaged enclave. The International Court of Justice issued two new so-called provisional measures in a case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of acts of genocide in its military campaign launched after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas. Israel stringently denies it is committing genocide and says its military campaign is self defense. Thursday’s order came after South Africa sought more provisional measures, including a ceasefire, citing starvation in Gaza. Israel urged the court not to issue new orders.
A lawyer for former President Donald Trump has argued that the charges against Donald Trump in the Georgia election interference case seek to criminalize political speech that the First Amendment protects. The hearing Thursday before a Georgia judge was on a filing from Trump and on two pretrial motions by a co-defendant and centered on technical legal arguments. Trump lawyer Steve Sadow said a sitting president expressing concerns about an election is “the height of political speech” and that's protected even if what was said ended up being false. A prosecutor contended that Trump’s statements aren't protected by the First Amendment because they were integral to criminal activity.
House Speaker Mike Johnson will send articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate shortly after Congress returns to Washington next month. The Republican speaker said Thursday he would send the two articles on April 10. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to swear in senators as jurors in the trial the next day, according to his office. The House impeached Mayorkas on a razor-thin party-line vote in February, but Johnson had delayed sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate while Congress addressed funding for the federal government. Impeachment for Mayorkas is expected to quickly fizzle in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Home Depot is buying SRS Distribution, a materials provider for professionals, in a deal valued at approximately $18.25 billion. The home improvement retailer said Thursday that the acquisition will help speed up its growth with the contractors. SRS provides materials for those including professional roofers, landscapers and pool contractors.
Michelangelo’s David has been a towering figure in Italian culture since its completion in 1504. But curators worry the marble statue’s religious and political significance is being diminished by the thousands of refrigerator magnets and other souvenirs focusing on David’s genitalia. The Galleria dell’Accademia’s director has positioned herself as David’s defender and takes swift aim at those profiteering from his image. Experts say the aggressive stance could backfire by discouraging the licensing of Italy’s artworks, a source of revenue. It also could limit the reproduction of masterpieces that serve as cultural ambassadors.
Russia has vetoed a U.N. resolution in a move that effectively abolishes the monitoring by United Nations experts of U.N. sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear program, though the sanctions themselves remain in place. Russia’s vote on Thursday prompted Western accusations that Moscow was acting to shield its weapons purchases from North Korea for use in its war against Ukraine, in violation of sanctions. The Security Council resolution sponsored by the United States would have extended the mandate of the panel for a year, but Russia’s veto will halt its operations. Russia's U.N. ambassador says Western nations are trying to “strangle” North Korea and sanctions have proven “irrelevant” and “detached from reality” in reining in its nuclear program.
