Donald Trump's hush money trial is in recess until Thursday after some salacious testimony from adult film star Stormy Daniels. Daniels took the stand Tuesday, and went into detail about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump -- leading the judge to scold the prosecution about her "degree of detail." Trump is accused of falsifying business records tied to paying Daniels to stay quiet about an alleged affair just prior to the 2016 election.        The judge in former President Trump's classified documents case is indefinitely postponing the trial start date. The judge cited a failure to resolve outstanding pretrial litigation about how the classified docs would be used during the trial. The trial was to start in late May, but now will probably be delayed until after the election.        The death toll in Oklahoma may rise after dozens of tornadoes pummeled the state.
