Prosecutors are seeking $1,000 each before comments by Trump that they say violated a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses, jurors and others. That's on top of a $9,000 fine. The judge imposed Tuesday related to other gag order violations and the threat of jail time if he does it again. Also today, testimony resumes from lawyer Keith Davidson, who represented Foreign Star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougall.

They've now recovered the body of a fifth person who was missing after the collapse of that bridge in Maryland more than a month ago. One person still has not been found. 48 people known dead now after a highway collapsed in China, heavy rain in the area recently. This is AP News. There's more now on the deaths of those 48 people in China. The AP's Karen Shamas has this. The death toll from a collapsed highway in southern China has jumped to at least four dozen people. Search is dug for a second day through a treacherous and mountainous area in Guangdong Province. The incident happened when one side of a fall-in highway gave way after a month of heavy rains in the area. State TV showed construction cranes lifting out the burnt-out and mutilated vehicles. Search work has been hampered by rain and land and gravel sliding down the slope. Over 22 inches of rain has fallen in the past four weeks in the county where the roadway collapsed. That's more than four times as much as last year. I'm Karen Shamas. A new poll vines the more than 40 percent of Americans think of China as an enemy. That's up from 25 percent.
