Former President Donald Trump's license to carry a gun in New York is expected to be revoked following his conviction on 34 felony counts in Manhattan.

A judge in Illinois is set to decide whether the father of the man accused of a fatal shooting at a Fourth of July parade will stand trial for helping his son obtain a gun license three years prior.

If the motion to dismiss is rejected, the father's bench trial will begin in November. The son faces multiple charges related to the shooting, and the father's arrest is based on his sponsorship of his son's gun license application.
