Former President Trump will return to court this morning in New York as jury selection in his criminal trial continues. As of now, seven jurors have been chosen. A panel of 12 along with six alternates must ultimately be selected. The former President is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments allegedly made to an adult film star just prior to the 2016 election.       The U.S. Supreme Court is rejecting an appeal by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell over the seizure of his cell phone. The high court rejected Lindell's request for a hearing without comment on Monday. Lindell was in a fast-food drive-thru in Minnesota when FBI agents seized his phone in 2022.        The President of Columbia University faced a grilling by lawmakers Wednesday on Capitol Hill today regarding antisemitism on campus. New York Republican Elise Stefanik said Columbia is not taking enough action against faculty members who spew anti-Israel rhetoric. Columbia President Minouche [[ min-oosh ]] Shafik said, although initially unprepared, the university has taken multiple steps following the swarm of protests in response to the October 7th attack on Israel.       Performers at California's Disneyland park are filing a petition to unionize. On Wednesday, Disney performers announced they're ready to hold a vote on union representation. That vote will likely happen in May or June.        The popular weight loss drug Zepbound also appears to help with obstructive sleep apnea. That's according to drugmaker Eli Lilly. The company said it plans to submit trial results to the USDA to possibly expand the drug's use. Obstructive sleep apnea causes people to stop breathing briefly while sleeping, preventing them from feeling fully rested.       President Biden is weighing in on Caitlin Clark's salary controversy. The Iowa superstar will earn just over 338-thousand dollars over the next four years after being selected first by the WNBA's Indiana Fever. By comparison, Spurs rookie star Victor Wembanyama - the Number one pick in last year's NBA Draft - signed a 55-million-dollar four-year contract. Biden posted that while women in sports are pushing boundaries, "even if you're the best, women are not paid their fair share."
