The lawyer who represented the two women at the center of Donald Trump's New York trial says there was no "hush money." Keith Davidson was the lawyer for both playboy model Karen McDougal and adult film star Stormy Daniels. The prosecution claims a 130-thousand dollar payment to Daniels was part of a "hush-money" scheme to influence the 2016 election. Trump is facing nearly three dozen counts of falsifying business records to cover up hush money payments to Daniels.       College campuses continue to experience pro-Palestinian demonstrations today. Early this morning, Los Angeles police moved in to clear an encampment on UCLA's campus, arresting more than a hundred people. Meanwhile, Columbia University announced all classes and final exams will go remote for the rest of the school year as 300 people were arrested after overtaking an academic building on campus.       The governor of Arizona is expected to sign a bill to repeal Arizona's near-total ban on abortion today. Two Republicans joined with all Democrats yesterday in voting to repeal the 1864 law that was upheld by the Arizona Supreme Court last month. It bans all abortions except in cases where it's necessary to save the mother's life.       Police shot and killed an armed student outside of a Wisconsin middle school on Wednesday. Authorities say the student was male and attended a school near Madison. Officers fired shots at the suspect and killed him before he entered the school. The Wisconsin Department of Justice says it has opened an investigation into the incident.       Southwest Airlines will be required to offer 75-dollar travel vouchers for certain cancellations and delays. The U.S. Transportation Department announced this week the airline will need to give compensation as part of a deal reached after the incident that "stranded millions of passengers across the country" in 2022. Flyers can get a Southwest LUV voucher if their flight is cancelled or delayed within a week of departure or if they arrive three or more hours later than planned.       The NBA Playoffs feature two game sixes tonight.
