DA argues against lifting Trump's limited gag order in hush money case
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, in a court filing Friday, opposed lifting the limited gag order on Donald Trump as the former president awaits sentencing in his criminal hush money case. The limited gag order prevents Trump from targeting witnesses, jurors and others associated with the case. Trump's lawyers have argued that Trump's "political opponents" -- including President Joe Biden, Robert DeNiro, Michael Cohen, and Stormy Daniels -- are using the gag order as a "sword" to attack the former president.

Trump campaign's fundraising boost helps erase Biden's cash advantage
Just two months ago, when former President Donald Trump had just begun raising money with the Republican Party as its new presumptive nominee, his team was trailing President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party by nearly $100 million in campaign cash on hand. Now Trump has rapidly outpaced Biden in fundraising. This new surge in the Trump campaign's fundraising effectively closes the money edge Biden's campaign had boasted earlier this election cycle as the competitive November general election looms.

What are monoliths? Timeline of 'mysterious' columns around the world
Monoliths are believed to stem from Arthur C. Clarke's "Space Odyssey" series and Stanley Kubruck's 1968 famed sci-fi film "2001: A Space Odyssey," where aliens used large, black monolith-shaped machines as a guide to monitor and control humans' evolution. From Utah in the United States, Wales in the United Kingdom and as far as Romania in southeastern Europe, these often unexplained structures have left officials and Internet sleuths questioning their makers and intentions. The Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau was working to conduct a count of big horn sheep in a portion of southeastern Utah when crew members "spotted an unusual object" and landed nearby to investigate further, according to a press release at the time.

Gun control groups hail Supreme Court decision upholding gun ban for domestic abusers
Gun control advocates and domestic abuse victims' rights groups on Friday praised a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding a federal ban on people under domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns. The 8-1 decision in U.S. v. Rahimi, which ruled that federal and state laws that prevent domestic abusers from temporarily owning a firearm do not violate the Second Amendment, came after several decisions by the conservative-leaning court in the last two years that have scaled back gun control laws. Janet Carter, senior director of issues and appeals at the gun control non-profit Everytown Law, said in a statement that the ruling was a step in the right direction but more work needs to be done to prevent gun violence.

Trump's attorneys seek to invalidate appointment of special prosecutor Jack Smith
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump argued Friday that Jack Smith's appointment as special counsel in Trump's classified documents case gives the U.S. attorney general the authority to "set up a shadow government" by giving Smith the authority to serve in government without being confirmed by the Senate. "That sounds very ominous," U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said, before she asked whether that is really a realistic risk given there are well-defined special counsel regulations.

A number of social media influencers have begun spreading misinformation and discouraging followers from using sunscreen, but experts say sunscreen is a vital tool in protecting your skin, the body's largest organ, from cancer. ABC News medical correspondent Dr. Darien Sutton joined "Good Morning America" on Friday to debunk some of the myths gaining traction online, some of which likely stem from past recalls of sunscreen contaminated with benzene, a known carcinogen.
