A.P.E. News. I'm Ed Donahue. The jury has started deliberating in former President Donald Trump's Hush Money Trial, the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president. Mother Teresa could not be these charges. These charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged. The A.P.'s Julie Walker is at the courthouse in New York. Jurors in Donald Trump's Hush Money Trial, who will decide his fate, have the option of convicting the former president on all 34 counts, acquiting him of all counts, or delivering a mixed verdict in which he has found guilty of some charges and not others. The jury of seven men and five women have been sent to a private room. Another country is taking official action against Israel. Brazil's President, Luis Inacio Lula, the silver, has withdrawn his country's ambassador to Israel. After months of tensions between the two countries over the war in Gaza, Lula has been a frequent critic of Israel's offensive in Gaza, which he compared to the Holocaust. Earlier this year, that led Israel's Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, to summon the Brazilian ambassador to the National Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem for a public reprimand. The removal of Brazil's ambassador is in response to that humiliating action and the fact that there has been no positive development since then, according to a person at Brazil's foreign ministry with knowledge of the situation.
