(The Hill) - The Manhattan District Attorney's history-making decision to indict former President Trump last week only marks the first possible charges against Trump, who faces myriad ongoing legal challenges. Since leaving the White House, Trump has been in the center of legal cases related to his time in office, his actions after leaving office, and his business dealings. Last Thursday, he became the first president — current or former — to be indicted on criminal charges, in relation to his alleged involvement in a hush-money payment made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair. Though the exact charges Trump is facing in Manhattan will remain under seal until his arraignment on Tuesday, legal experts have said the case pales in comparison to the other legal challenges the former president is facing. Here's where those other cases stand ahead of his arraignment.

Months ago, he made plans to take three of his teenage grandchildren there over spring break.After that plan was hatched, I was diagnosed with cancer and am undergoing chemotherapy.I had hoped that he would cancel his plans so he could be at our home to help me out, but he went ahead and make airline reservations, after he knew the dates of his vacation would coincide with my treatment.I am feeling hurt, rejected and unimportant to him, in addition to feeling the ill effects of my treatment.I could have used his help with meals, driving to the clinic, and overall companionship.My daughter, who has a full-time job, stepped in.Amy, he rarely sees these grandchildren, who live within 15 minutes of us.Why couldn’t he have just scheduled a few spring break outings at home instead of traveling during this crucial time?— Sad and SufferingDear Sad: My mother once said to me, “Remember: People do what they w...Germany takes in 32 survivors from migrant shipwreck off Italy

By Christopher Hickey and Alex Leeds Matthews | CNNIt has almost never been as hard to buy a new or used car in the United States as it is today, despite improving supply issues and inflation beginning to steady.Vehicle transaction prices — the price you actually end up paying after any dealer discounts or markups — have been climbing higher and faster since 2020 than any other point in more than 35 years, according to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.The consumer price indexes for both new and used cars — the average changes in vehicle transaction price over time — are much higher than they were four years ago in 2019.There is a silver lining. BLS data shows inflation for used cars has been cooling down just as dramatically since December 2022 as it increased in the months before that. But used cars have a long way to go before approaching 2019 sales prices and new car prices have yet to slow down.The average transaction price of a new car has jumped nearly $12,000 i...Latest news
