Heading into his hush money trial today former President Trump weighed in on all the unrest on college campuses saying more cops should have been sent in to restore order...instead of being at his trial. And a woman is accused of getting behind the wheel drunk and crashing into a birthday party leading to the death of two young siblings. Today at her arraignment she faced murder and driving under the influence charges while the victims aunt tearfully addressed the court. The suspect's attorney says she only had one glass of wine four hours before the crash...adding that she suffers from epileptic-like seizures in her legs. Plus, she's the mom who reportedly got deathly ill one hour after eating at a sushi restaurant. However, it appears it wasn't the raw fish that made her sick.

The woman's family is suing the restaurant which denies any wrongdoing. And an alligator strolling through a Florida neighborhood meets his match - getting wrangled by a dude with his bare hands! Turns out the gator messed with the wrong guy he's an MMA fighter, and this was not his first alligator smackdown.

After a one-day break, court resumed today in Donald Trump's hush money trial and right away there was major chaos. The judge was hoping to wrap up jury selection tomorrow, but today two of the seated jurors were dismissed! And, this video will make your blood boil. A woman was shopping when a brazen creep appears to slide his cell phone right under her skirt. He may have gotten away if not for another woman who caught the incident on video and then confronted the guy until help arrived.

Thankfully, the brave little girl survived and as Les Trent reports, she's sending a message loud and clear to her kidnapper. And, it's Caitlyn Clark’s first time meeting the press as a pro basketball star and an exchange with one sports reporter was downright cringey.
