Trump’s lawyers are urging the full panel of appellate judges to rule on the constitutionality of the gag order, people familiar with the matter say. Previously, Trump’s lawyers asked an appeals court judge to take emergency action and stop the trial so they could appeal the gag order. After hearing oral argument, the appeals court judge denied the request and both sides were ordered to file written briefs. Trump’s attorneys are now asking the appellate panel to expedite their ruling on whether the gag order is constitutional. Judge Juan Merchan has found Trump has violated the gag order 10 times and fined him $10,000 for public statements Trump made about certain witnesses and the jury.

CNN —Demi Lovato returned to the Met Gala on Monday, eight years after a bad experience at the event made her question if she’d ever want to attend again. After the gala in 2016, Lovato posted on Instagram a since-deleted photo of herself standing on the red carpet near Nicki Minaj, who appeared displeased. Lovato wrote that the image “pretty much summed up my first and probably last Met.”“I had a terrible experience,” she told Billboard in a 2018 interview. “I related more to the homeless people in that meeting who struggled with the same struggles that I deal with than the people at the Met Gala,” she said. Lovato publicly documented her history with substance abuse and her recovery.

☆ Fact check: Trump falsely claims police turned away ‘thousands’ from Manhattan courthouse and that supporters ‘can’t get near’
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-24 | by ( Daniel Dale | Kate Sullivan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

Washington CNN —Former President Donald Trump is a famed exaggerator of the size of his crowds. For years, he has lied about how many supporters attended his presidential inauguration and numerous campaign rallies. The police have not turned away “thousands of people” from the courthouse during his trial; only a handful of Trump supporters have shown up to demonstrate near the building. Trump may have been suggesting that thousands would have been present if not for repressive security measures. Trump supporters are free to walk into not only the protest zone but also the courthouse itself, though they, like everyone else, have to observe decorum rules if they go inside.

He was able to scale the business to more than $600,000 in revenue by 2018, when he graduated from high school. Before the internet, starting a business was a serious hassle. The problem wasn't that people weren't interested in starting a business: A 2016 EY study found that 62% of 18- to 34-year-olds had toyed with venturing into business ownership. That has made starting a business all the more appealing — and affordable — for prospective entrepreneurs. And with the plethora of digital tools we have today, starting a business is more accessible than ever.
