报道：特别检察官要求最高法院加快审理对特朗普的刑事诉讼，以确保其在2024年大选前受审。检方认为此案事关重大，关系到前总统是否完全豁免刑事起诉。特朗普及其律师则认为此案出于政治动机，要求推迟审理。最高法院是否会受理此案，以及如何裁决，将对美国政治产生重大影响。 报道：德州一名孕妇因怀孕并发症离开德州进行堕胎，德州最高法院裁定其情况不符合堕胎禁令的例外情况。该裁决可能对其他对该禁令的法律挑战产生影响。德州的堕胎禁令非常严格，即使孕妇面临生命危险，也难以获得堕胎服务。此案凸显了德州堕胎法律的严格性和对女性健康权的限制。 报道：泽连斯基总统访问华盛顿，寻求美国对乌克兰战争的额外资金支持，但面临美国国内政治和公众支持下降的挑战。共和党内部对继续援助乌克兰存在分歧，部分共和党人要求在提供援助的同时，解决美国边境问题。这使得乌克兰获得进一步援助的前景充满不确定性。美国对乌克兰的援助金额巨大，但随着战争的持续和国内政治的变化，援助的持续性面临挑战。
