Trump’s criminal trial in Georgia is suspended by order of the Court of Appeals

The criminal trial of former American president and Republican pre-candidate Donald Trump in Georgia (USA) for trying to reverse the results of the 2020 elections in that state was suspended on Wednesday by order of the Court of Appeals.

The process will not resume until there is a decision on the request of the former president (2017-2021) to disqualify the prosecutor of that case, Fani Willis, for an alleged conflict of interest, according to the decision signed by that court.

That order affects Trump and eight other defendants in this case and complicates the possibility that the process will take place before the presidential elections next November, in which he is expected to face the US president, Democrat Joe Biden.

Trump, who is accused of interfering in Georgia in the vote counting in the 2020 elections, where he lost to Biden, got the Georgia Court of Appeal to agree to examine his request to disqualify Willis on May 8.

The prosecutor is in the spotlight because of the relationship she had with a subordinate: the special prosecutor Nathan Wade, something that according to the complainants created a conflict of interest that vitiated the process.

Of the four criminal trials opened against Trump, the only one that has already taken place is the one launched in New York for forgerying commercial records to buy the silence in 2016 about a relationship he had with the porn actress Stormy Daniels. The jury found him guilty last week and the sentence will be announced on July 11.

In Washington he has another open for electoral interference, while in Florida he is accused of taking classified documents from the White House when leaving power, which he kept in his mansion in Mar-a-Lago. Neither of those two processes has a start date set.

Senator Van Hollen Meets with Deported MS-13 Member in El Salvador; Trump and Bukele React

U.S. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, representing the state of Maryland, held a meeting in El Salvador with deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Ábrego García, a member of the criminal group classified by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.

“Kilmar Ábrego García, miraculously resurrected from the ‘extermination camps’ and ‘torture chambers,’ now sipping margaritas with Senator Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” wrote President Nayib Bukeleon X (formerly Twitter), sharing photos of Van Hollen, Ábrego García, and a lawyer sitting together at a Salvadoran hotel.

The deported gang member is seen wearing a plaid shirt and a flat-brimmed cap, seated at a table with glasses and coffee cups. The senator also shared images of the meeting on his own social media accounts.

Bukele reaffirmed that Ábrego will remain in El Salvador and will not be returned to the United States.

“Now that his health has been confirmed, he has earned the honor of remaining under the custody of El Salvador,” Bukele added.

Pope Francis Appears for Easter Blessing, Calls for Peace and Religious Freedom

Pope Francis, still recovering from pneumonia, appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Easter Sunday and, with a faint voice, wished a “Happy Easter” to the thousands of faithful gathered to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.

A month after being discharged from a lengthy hospital stay, the presence of the 88-year-old pontiff had remained uncertain, with the Vatican not confirming his attendance ahead of time.

Eventually, the pope made a brief appearance in a wheelchair shortly after 12:00 p.m. (10:00 GMT) to deliver his traditional “Urbi et Orbi” blessing (“to the city and to the world”).

Although no longer wearing an oxygen cannula, the Argentine Jesuit relied on a close aide to read his Easter message, which touched on major global conflicts.

Francis condemned the “dramatic and unworthy humanitarian crisis” in Gaza and called for a ceasefire, while also expressing concern over the “growing climate of antisemitism spreading across the globe.”

He further emphasized the importance of religious freedom and freedom of thought, stating that without mutual respect, “peace is not possible.”

Thousands rally nationwide against Trump’s threat to U.S. democracy

Thousands of protesters gathered on Saturday (April 19, 2025) in major cities like New York and Washington, as well as in small communities across the United States, in a second wave of demonstrations against President Donald Trump. The crowds denounced what they view as growing threats to the country’s democratic ideals.

In New York City, demonstrators of all ages rallied in front of the Public Library near Trump Tower, holding signs accusing the president of undermining democratic institutions and judicial independence.

Many protesters also criticized Trump’s hardline immigration policies, including mass deportations and raids targeting undocumented migrants.

“Democracy is in grave danger,” said Kathy Valyi, 73, the daughter of Holocaust survivors. She told AFP that the stories her parents shared about Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1930s Germany “are happening here now.”

In Washington, demonstrators voiced concern over what they see as Trump’s disregard for long-standing constitutional norms, such as the right to due process.
