Summary

Today’s Headlines: Former President Donald Trump is set to face arraignment on his third indictment related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The arraignment is scheduled in person in Washington DC, where Trump will enter a plea, and the judge will decide whether to arrest him or release him on bond. Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, asserts that they should have as much time to prepare for trial as the federal government had since January 6. In another incident, a false alarm regarding an "active shooter" at the US Senate office buildings caused tension, but it turned out to be a prank call. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his separation from his wife Sophie after 18 years of marriage. In Hollywood, producers seek to resume negotiations with striking TV and film writers. Taylor Swift's Los Angeles concerts face controversy amid hotel worker strikes, with officials urging her to postpone the shows in solidarity with the workers' demands.
