A B News and Ben Thomas, Hunter Biden's federal firearms case, has gone to the jury, like Conselman's been covering the trial for us. The prosecutor said that evidence was overwhelming against Mr. Biden, in that he knowingly filled out a form in which he checked no on the box that asked if he was a drug addict, when in fact in his memoir and from the testimony of other people during the trial, it was well established that he had a long-running drug habit during the years after the death of his brother, Bo. The defense attorney who spoke to the jury basically told him that he had a good reason to believe that he was not an active user of drugs at the time when he bought the gun. New Jersey's attorney general is looking into possible ramifications from Donald Trump's recent felony convictions in New York. Lisa Dwyer has this one. The office says it is reviewing whether Trump's conviction involving payment of hush money to a porn star and falsifying business records in an attempt to hide it should impact the former president's continued ability to hold liquor licenses. New Jersey state law prohibits anyone from holding a liquor license if they've been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, which denotes a serious crime from the viewpoint of society in general and usually contains elements of dishonesty, fraud or depravity. Trump owns golf courses in Bedminster, Colt Snack, and Pine Hill in New Jersey, each of which has an active liquor license. I'm Lisa Dwyer. The UN Security Council has for the first time approved a resolution backing a ceasefire plan to end the Israel Hamas war. The UN Migration Agency tells AP Warren Sudan has displaced more than 10 million people and the search is underway in the African nation of Malawi for a plane missing with the vice president and nine others aboard, President Lazarus Chiquera. Pilot was unable to land the plane due to poor visibility occasioned by bad weather. And aviation authorities advise their craft to return to Le Longway. But the authorities soon lost contact with the aircraft. This is AP News. Game two of the Stanley Cup final getting underway, Florida's Panthers up on the Edmonton Oilers. Dave Ferry reports the maps are down to nothing to the Celtics and the NBA. The Mavericks are heading home trailing to nothing in the NBA Finals following their 105-98 loss in Boston. It was another tough shooting night for Kyrie Irving and a somewhat sloppy triple double for Luca Doncic. Irving was over three from three point range and seven of 18 overall and scoring 16 points. It wasn't just all on me, but I'm definitely taking a majority of it just because my teammates looked to me to convert a lot of these shots and ease the burden, not only just Luca but everyone else and settle our team. Doncic's threatened to record a quadruple double, finishing with 32 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and eight turnovers. I think my turnovers and my misfritos causes a game, so I've got to do way better in those two categories. PJ Washington had 17 points for the maps. Who hosts Game three on Wednesday? I'm Dave Ferry. And I'm Ben Thomas, AP News. Thanks for listening. Here in America, work is in trouble. We've offshored our manufacturing, sent away good jobs, and lost so much ability to make things.
