Donald Trump Indictment Decision Delayed as Grand Jury Adjourns

Former President Donald Trump was indicted on Thursday for charges in New York relating to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. The adult film actress claims their affair began in 2006, after his marriage to former First Lady Melania. Trump maintains his innocence, alleging that the investigation is politically motivated and that he did not have an affair. The case is centered on allegations of falsified business records stemming from the former President’s 2016 campaign. This is the first time in history that any president, current or former, has been indicted.

Mexican Migrant Center Fire Leaves at Least 38 Dead

At least 38 people were killed when a fire broke out at a migration center along the Mexico-U.S. border. The facility, located on the Mexico side of a bridge that connects Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, Texas, held 68 men at the time of the accident. Mexican President Manuel Lopez Obrador claimed that the fire was started by detainees after they learned of their pending deportations. However, spokespeople for the migrants and officials at human rights organizations have refuted this claim.
