Two of the seated seven jurors in President Trump's hush money criminal trial are being removed from the panel. One was let go after being questioned about his arrest record and another was excused when she expressed concerns about her identity being made public by the media. The number of chosen jurors is now down to five, as Trump remains in the New York court, and off the campaign trail.       New York police are clearing out anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University. The students built tents on a campus lawn Wednesday and refused to leave. Police in riot gear are clearing out the camp and arresting students for trespassing. The action comes after the President of the university faced a grilling by lawmakers yesterday on Capitol Hill regarding antisemitism on campus.        It looks like Republican Mike Johnson will need Democrats in order to pass his foreign aid package. The House Speaker plans for separate votes on aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and a separate bill for the border. The conservative flank argues the border should be tied to Ukraine to force Democrats to vote for its passage, and warn they may oust him if he continues with his plan.        Officials are still investigating the cause of last year's Maui fires that killed 101 people. A State Attorney General report says a major windstorm toppled power lines in Lahaina [[ lah-HYE-nah ]], sparking the first fire on that fateful August day. That fire was extinguished, but was reignited by strong winds, and eventually there were four major wildfires breaking out. The official cause is being handled by the ATF.       Black inmates sentenced to death by lethal injection suffer botched procedures at higher rates than white prisoners. According to a new report from the anti-death penalty group Reprieve, Black prisoners had a 220-percent greater chance of suffering a botched execution than white prisoners.       The RBC Heritage is underway in South Carolina. Last year's winner was Matt Fitzpatrick and he's back in the field again this year. World number one and last week's Masters winner Scottie Scheffler is also playing again this week.
