Former President Trump will be back in a New York courtroom this morning as jury selection resumes in the "hush money" criminal trial. Five more jurors still need to be selected, as well as six alternates. Trump is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments allegedly made to an adult film star just prior to the 2016 election.        Arizona's near-total abortion ban is still law. The Civil War-era law outlaws the procedure except to save the life of the woman and threatens providers with prison sentences between two and five years. The state's House did not repeal the law on Wednesday following attempts by Democratic lawmakers to do so.        The White House is praising the U.S. Senate for dismissing two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. A White House spokesperson said Wednesday that the Senate has "rightly voted down this baseless impeachment." The dismissal ends a Republican effort to oust Mayorkas over the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.        More than two dozen Google employees have reportedly been fired following sit-in protests over a project involving the company and the Israeli government. The tech news website The Verge says 28 employees were protesting Google's involvement with the one-point-two-billion-dollar Project Nimbus, a cloud computing project with Israel's government and military.        Significant storm damage is being reported in parts of Ohio as more powerful winds blast the Midwest. In northern Ohio, Crawford County police are warning drivers to watch out for debris and downed power lines on the roads. The National Weather Service is still working to determine how many tornadoes were in the region Wednesday.        Quentin Tarantino has reportedly changed his mind about his tenth and final movie. The Oscar-winning film director was supposed to start shooting "The Movie Critic" later this year, starring Brad Pitt, but multiple sources say Tarantino has had a change of heart and is now backing away from the project.
