Stormy Daniels has concluded her testimony in Donald Trump's hush money trial after hours of questioning over two days. Daniels detailed, among other things, her alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump and the money she was paid to keep quiet about it. The defense responded by attacking Daniels' credibility, accusing her Thursday of changing her story over the years and trying to extort the former president. Prosecutors say Trump and others schemed to influence the 2016 presidential election by buying and burying negative stories that might hurt his campaign. He is accused of falsifying internal business records to cover up hush money payments by logging them as legal expenses. He has pleaded not guilty.

Ship loaded with aid heads for US-built Gaza pier, but it's unclear when or how it will be delivered
The first aid ship bound for an American-built floating pier to be installed in Gaza has departed. But it’s unclear when the corridor will be up and running, and humanitarian groups say there are still major obstacles to getting food to starving Palestinians in the war-ravaged enclave. Cyprus announced the ship’s departure Thursday even though the U.S. military has not yet installed the pier and questions remain as to how the aid will be distributed. Even when the route is up and running, it won’t be able to handle as much aid as Gaza’s two main land crossings, which are currently inaccessible. The U.N. says most of the territory’s 2.3 million Palestinians suffer from hunger and that northern Gaza is already experiencing “full-blown famine.”
