Where things stand in the legal battle over Texas' six-week abortion ban
CNN
Texas' six-week abortion ban is likely to stay in force at least for a few more days, if not longer, with a federal appeals court signaling Tuesday that the end of the week would be the earliest it would take its next big step in the ongoing litigation.
After a federal judge blocked the ban last week, Texas secured an administrative hold on that order late Friday from the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals, effectively reviving the abortion ban after it had been halted for just two days. The back-and-forth is happening in the Justice Department's challenge to the law, which is one of several fronts where the legal battle over the ban is being fought.
Even though a three-judge 5th Circuit panel sided with Texas in issuing the hold and temporarily reviving the law, there is a chance the panel could change course and allow the ban to be halted yet again.
When prosecutors make their final pitch Tuesday to a New York jury for why they should convict Donald Trump of a slew of business crimes, they’ll face the burdensome task of weaving together weeks of testimony and evidence they say proves the former president committed felonies to help his 2016 campaign.
