Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former attorney, is expected on the stand Monday at the New York “hush money” criminal trial against the former president. Cohen is expected to detail how records were falsified to cover up and purchase adult film star Stormy Daniels’ story. CBS News’ Jericka Duncan and Katrina Kaufman break down what’s next.

The third week of testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial draws to a close Friday after jurors heard the dramatic, if not downright seamy, account of porn actor Stormy Daniels, while prosecutors gear up for their most crucial witness: Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney. Daniels’ story of an alleged sexual encounter with Trump was a crucial building block for prosecutors, who are seeking to show that the Republican and his allies buried unflattering stories in the waning weeks of the 2016 presidential election in an effort to illegally influence the race. Trump, who denies the sexual encounter ever happened, walked out of the court in a rage Thursday, angrily telling reporters, “I’m innocent.” His attorneys pushed for a mistrial over the level of tawdry details Daniels went into on the witness stand, but Judge Juan M. Merchan denied the request. Former President Donald Trump arrives at Manhattan criminal court in New York, on Friday, Friday, May 10, 2024.

Friday, May 10, 2024 4:52PM Marine experts say all indications are it was struck by the cruise ship that dragged it in. NEW YORK — A cruise ship sailed into a New York City port with a 44-foot dead whale across its bow, marine authorities said. The whale, identified as an endangered sei whale, was caught on the ship’s bow when it arrived at the Port of Brooklyn on Saturday, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries spokesperson Andrea Gomez said. A spokesperson for MSC Cruises said the whale was on the MSC Meraviglia, which docked at Brooklyn before sailing to ports in New England and Canada. “We immediately notified the relevant authorities, who are now conducting an examination of the whale,” officials with the cruise line said in a statement. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of any marine life,” the officials said, adding that the Geneva-based MSC Cruises follows all regulations designed to protect whales, such as altering itineraries in certain regions to avoid hitting the animals. The dead whale was relocated to Sandy Hook, New Jersey, and towed to shore there to

Target has announced that it will only sell their Pride Month collection in select stores after suffering a backlash and boycott last year during the 2023 Pride season. The company says that instead of offering their Pride Month collection merchandise across all stores, they will be “offering a collection of products including adult apparel and home and food and beverage items, curated based on consumer feedback. The collection will be available on Target.com and in select stores, based on historical sales performance,” the company said in a statement on their website on Thursday. Target says they are making other plans to celebrate Pride Month, including having a presence at local Pride events in Minneapolis — where the organization is headquartered — and around the country. “Beyond our own teams, we will have a presence at local Pride events in Minneapolis and around the country, and we continue to support a number of LGBTQIA+ organizations,” a company spokesperson said in a statement obtained by ABC News on Friday. “Additionally, we will offer a collection of products for Pride, including adult apparel, home products, food and beverage

By WAFAA SHURAFA and JOSEPH KRAUSS (Associated Press) RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Heavy fighting between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants on the outskirts of the southern Gaza city of Rafah has left crucial nearby aid crossings inaccessible and driven more than 110,000 people to flee north, U.N. officials said Friday. With nothing entering through the crossings, food and other supplies were running critically low, aid agencies said. The World Food Program will run out of food for distribution in southern Gaza by Saturday, said Georgios Petropoulos, an official with the U.N. Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Rafah. Aid groups have said fuel will also be depleted soon, forcing hospitals to shut down critical operations and bringing to a halt trucks delivering aid across south and central Gaza. The U.N. and other agencies have warned for weeks that an Israel assault on Rafah, on the border with Egypt near the main aid entry points, would cripple humanitarian operations and cause a disastrous surge in civilian casualties. More than 1.4 million Palestinians — half of Gaza’s population — have been sheltering in Rafah, most after fleeing Israel’s offensives elsewhere.

Since transitioning from starter to the next big thing among Major League Baseball closers, the Athletics’ Mason Miller has watched others who have reached the peak of their craft. One of them is Camilo Doval, an All-Star closer in 2023 who plays across the bay for the Giants. “He’s electric,” Miller said Wednesday before the A’s departed on a 10-game road trip that includes stops in Seattle, Houston and Kansas City. “Anyone who throws as hard as he does and with a wipeout slider too, it’s a really tough combo to see. And if you’ve got a guy like (the Giants’ Tyler) Rogers (who drops) down and gives you a different look in the seventh and eighth, that stuff is always going to play up.” While Doval, 26, debuted with the Giants in 2021 and has played 75 games in his career, Miller, at age 25, is just getting started in the new role but already has baseball buzzing. Four of Miller’s teammates — pitchers Alex Wood, Ross Stripling and Scott Alexander and infielder J.D. Davis — played for the Giants and have seen both

Last week, the department’s homeless liaison officer handed out written notices to vacate River Park. According to Sanders, 25 camps received those written notices.

When California’s voters 46 years ago passed Proposition 13, its iconic property tax limit, they ignited a perpetual conflict over how much tax money state and local governments need and who should supply it. Since 1978, public employee unions and other beneficiaries of government spending have repeatedly tried to repeal Prop. 13’s barriers and make it easier to enact new taxes. At the same time, business interests and anti-tax groups such as the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, named for Prop. 13’s chief sponsor, have backed additional ballot measures to make new taxes more difficult. As the conflict raged, pro-tax interests became dominant in the Capitol and in local governments, but the anti-tax faction mostly prevailed in post-Prop. 13 ballot battles. In 2020, for example, voters rejected a union-sponsored ballot measure that would have changed Prop. 13 to allow higher taxes on commercial real estate. Concurrently, California courts have eroded some of the taxation barriers the anti-tax forces erected. In 2020, the state Supreme Court made raising local taxes easier by declaring that tax measures proposed by initiative needed only simple majority voter approval, rather than
