Q&A
What are the key arguments being made by both sides regarding the revised indictment against Donald Trump?
Trump's legal team argues that the revised indictment does not comply with the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity, while Special Counsel Jack Smith maintains that the changes address the court's concerns and preserve the core of the case.
How is the Trump campaign's shifting stance on mail-in voting likely to impact the election?
Trump's previous criticism of mail-in voting could alienate some voters who rely on this method, while his campaign's current promotion of it may not be enough to overcome the skepticism he has already instilled in his base.
What are the key challenges facing the Ukrainian offensive into Russia?
The Ukrainian offensive faces the risk of being surrounded and cut off by Russian forces, while Moscow continues to target Ukrainian infrastructure with airstrikes. The outcome of this bold military move remains uncertain.
What are the potential implications of Israel's military raids in the West Bank for the ongoing negotiations in Gaza?
The raids could inflame tensions and make it more difficult to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, as they demonstrate Israel's willingness to take a more aggressive stance against perceived threats.
