A New York judge has ruled to prevent former President Donald J. Trump from revealing the identities of potential jurors at his upcoming criminal trial, emphasizing the need to protect those involved in the highly sensitive case.

This decision comes amid security concerns surrounding Mr. Trump's legal proceedings, including recent incidents involving threats and intimidation.

The judge imposed limitations on Trump, barring him from attacking the judge, the judge’s staff members, or New York’s attorney general. Trump, who has sought to turn his legal liabilities into political assets, had planned to address the court during closing arguments, but the judge warned that he would promptly shut Trump down if he attempted to turn the courtroom into a campaign stop.
The Poseidon Dynamic Cannabis ETF, a leading exchange-traded fund in the cannabis industry, is set to close as investor interest in the legally restricted sector diminishes. The fund, managed by AdvisorShares, will liquidate assets and pay shareholders on September 1. The closure reflects the broader decline in the cannabis industry, which has struggled to scale due to federal laws and limited access to banking services. Wholesale prices have declined, and sliding equity values have deterred investors, leading to a drop in capital. The closure of the Poseidon ETF follows a series of setbacks in the industry, including a failed merger between Cresco Labs and Columbia Care and Mastercard's decision to stop allowing cannabis transactions on its debit cards.

The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments on May 17 from anti-abortion medical groups that are seeking to overturn FDA approval of the pills and functionally ban their use nationwide. The gestational limit could be one of the simplest pieces of the court order for doctors to sidestep, but providers fear that they could face threats of prosecution, harassment, retaliation from state licensing boards, and civil litigation.
