Summary
A man set himself on fire outside the courthouse where former President Donald Trump is on trial in the so-called hush money case. And inside the courthouse, the full jury panel has now been seated for the case against Trump after the final five alternates were selected.

Plus, little is known about Israel's retaliatory airstrikes on Iran or of any potential damage. Both countries appear to be downplaying the strikes, suggesting an effort to de-escalate tensions.
