Morning Announcements

Today’s Headlines: Hunter Biden was found guilty on three felony gun charges in Delaware for lying on a gun application and illegally possessing the firearm. Though he faces up to 25 years in prison, as a first-time offender, his sentence is expected to be much less severe, and his sentencing date is pending due to an upcoming trial for tax evasion. President Biden has ruled out a pardon for his son and did not mention the conviction during his recent public remarks. Rudy Giuliani posted a $10,000 bond for charges related to the 2020 election interference in Arizona, with his trial set for October. Meanwhile, New Jersey's attorney general is reviewing the eligibility of Donald Trump's golf properties for liquor licenses following his felony convictions. A federal judge struck down Florida's law banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors, deeming it unconstitutional, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vowed to appeal the ruling. Additionally, Apple announced new AI features for its products, including advanced notification management, text summarization, integration with ChatGPT, and a new image generation feature called Image Playground.
