If he news for Friday, March 15th, I'm Ben Thomas. Legal developments involving Donald Trump and Georgia Kate Brumback reports a special prosecutor has withdrawn from the election interference case. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee had ruled earlier Friday that Bonnie Willis, the district attorney, could continue on the case if the special prosecutor Nathan Wade withdrew. Now that Wade has removed himself, Bonnie Willis can continue to pursue her prosecution. Before this all surfaced, the judge had accepted pre-trial motions and was scheduling hearings on them, and that is likely to continue now that this is behind them. In New York, a judge has delayed Trump's hush money trial for 30 days. Mike Sissack heads to tails. The trial was scheduled to start on March 25th, but now instead the judge is going to hold a hearing after Trump's lawyers said they have been del used with 100,000 pages of evidence that they had not previously seen. Those records come from a federal investigation into the same conduct, the same matter. Now, the judge wants the timeline of why this evidence took so long to turn over, and he also wants to determine whether there should be sanctions for anybody involved in the case, and if the case should go on or if the charges should be dismissed. The Israeli military says the ship has delivered 200 tons of food, water, and humanitarian supplies to Gaza, and Russians are voting in a three-day presidential election, certain to extend Vladimir Putin's rule in other six years, Norman Hall has more. Voting is also taking place in illegally annexed regions of Ukraine, force voting in the occupied territory was condemned and debated the United Nations Security Council, U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield. Let's call this what it is. It's a blatant propaganda exercise. British Ambassador James Kariyuki says the voting will never be recognized. These elections are a sham because of a simple truth. You cannot hold legitimate elections in someone else's country. Ukraine also rejects the voting in annexed areas. I, Norman Hall.

In no hints or suggestions for anybody here, but marriages have rebounded to pre-pandemic levels across the country, Jackie Quinn has some numbers. The government reports there were about 2.1 million weddings taking place in America in 2022, a 4% increase from the year before. During the pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control found just 1.7 million couples were wed, the lowest number since the early 1960s. COVID disrupted many wedding plans with people ordered to stay home and large gatherings banned in many communities. And while weddings came back up from pre-pandemic levels, the CDC also reports that divorce rates have come down. I'm Jackie Quinn. And I'm Ben Thomas, AP News. Thanks for listening.
