(Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images) NEW YORK (AP) — As the third week of witness testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial takes place, all eyes are on Stormy Daniels, who took the stand Tuesday morning and recounted for jurors the lead-up to meeting Trump and a 2006 sexual encounter she has said the two engaged in. Trump denies the encounter took place. The alleged sexual encounter and the $130,000 she was paid to keep silent about it during the 2016 presidential election are at the heart of the charges against the former president. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was call ..read more

AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF) – The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has issued a Weather Watch for Wednesday, May 8th. ERCOT says it is because of unseasonably high temperatures, high levels of expected maintenance outages during the Spring months, and the potential for lower reserves. As of now, the Texas power grid operator expects grid conditions to be normal during the watch. In an attempt to be more transparent following the February 2021 winter storm that forced the grid to cut power for days to millions of Texans, ERCOT announces when conditions could be tight. ERCOT says they will monitor ..read more

Still, Israel said it would continue negotiations. The high-stakes diplomatic moves and military brinkmanship left a glimmer of hope alive — but only barely — for an accord that could bring at least a pause in the 7-month-old war that has devastated the Gaza Strip. Hanging over the ..read more

Henry Cuellar of Texas and his wife were indicted on conspiracy and bribery charges and taken into custody Friday in connection with a U.S. Department of Justice probe into the couple’s ties to the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan.
