Former President Trump will return to court this morning in New York as jury selection in his criminal trial continues. As of now, seven jurors have been chosen. A panel of 12 along with six alternates must ultimately be selected.        A widespread 911 outage that affected multiple states appears to be almost over. Authorities say residents in parts of Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota and Texas were unable to call the number on Wednesday. Police say the service was finally restored late Wednesday night in Nevada and South Dakota and early this morning in parts of Nebraska. However, the outage is still impacting parts of Southern Texas.        The Republican-controlled Arizona House of Representatives stopped another attempt to repeal the Civil War-era abortion ban. The House on Wednesday voted not to discuss a bill Democratic lawmakers introduced on the floor. At the moment, the earliest the ban could be enforced is early June.        The White House is praising the U.S. Senate for dismissing two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. A White House spokesperson said Wednesday that the Senate has "rightly voted down this baseless impeachment that even conservative legal scholars said was unconstitutional."        A tsunami alert has been issued after a volcano erupted on a remote Indonesian island. Indonesia's volcano agency says hundreds of villagers have been evacuated after multiple eruptions on Ruang Island, where the volcano has been spewing lava and ash plumes thousands of feet into the air. Officials say the volcano has erupted at least five times since Tuesday night, and they fear it could partially collapse into the water and cause a tsunami like it did in 1871.        The Justice Department is paying over 100-million dollars to the victims of Larry Nassar. The Wall Street Journal reports the department agreed to make the payment as compensation for the FBI's mishandling of the investigation into the former USA Gymnastics team doctor. Over 500 women were abused by Nassar during his time working for USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University.
