Former President Donald Trump speaks to guests at a rally, April 2, 2024, in Green Bay, Wis. (Scott Olson/Getty Images)(NEW YORK) -- Attorneys for Donald Trump are expected back in court on Monday to defend the $175 million bond in the former president's civil fraud case, days after New York Attorney General Letitia James urged the court to reject the bond and give Trump seven days to find a new one.Judge Arthur Engoron ordered the hearing earlier this month after James took exception to the bond and asked the company behind the bond -- Knight Specialty Insurance Company -- to prove they are sufficiently collateralized to pay the bond if Trump's appeal of the $464 million judgment fails.The bond hearing presents a legal double-header for the former president, who is required to attend the opening statements in his criminal hush money trial on Monday morning. Down the street from the criminal courthouse, Judge Engoron will hear arguments that could place the former president in financial dire straits if the bond is rejected.Trump's bond saga began in February when Engoron ordered the former president and his co-defendants to pay $464 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest for engaging in what he found to be a decade of business fraud. Trump attempted to delay the fine, telling an appellate court that finding a surety willing to handle a half-billion-dollar bond was a "practical impossibility."James vowed to begin seizing Trump's assets, including his namesake buildings, if he did not pay the judgment in time."If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets," James said in an interview with ABC News.At the deadline for Trump to pay the judgment, New York's Appellate Division First Department granted the former president's 11th-hour request to reduce the size of his bond, permitting the him to post a bond of $175 million.Days later, Trump and his co-defendants posted a $175 million bond collateralized using $175,304,075 held in a Charles Schwab brokerage account controlled by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.Because the company behind the bond was not admitted in New York, James filed a notice that requires Knight Speciality Insurance to demonstrate they are capable of paying the bond if needed."KSIC is a respected, well-capitalized, Delaware-domiciled insurer that has long underwritten surety bonds and other types of insurance placed around the country," attorneys for Knight Speciality Insurance and Trump wrote in a filing last week.The filing specified that the bond was secured by more than $175 billion held in a brokerage account controlled by Knight, which independently maintained more than $539 million in their own assets. The filing also stated that the company has access to more than $2 billion in assets through their parent company."By any standard, KSIC has therefore provided assurance to the Plaintiff judgment creditor that she can collect the designated amount if the award is affirmed on appeal," the filing said.In a filing on Friday, the New York Attorney General argued that the bond itself should be rejected because the defendants failed to prove that Knight could handle "this extraordinarily large undertaking" and that the bond was sufficiently collateralized.According to James' filing, Knight does not have the exclusive right to control the money in Trump's brokerage account, which could become problematic if the value of Trump's assets in the account dips below $175 million. James also raised issues with Knight's business practices, which she argued should make the company ineligible to do business in New York."KSIC is not qualified to act as the surety under this standard because its management has been found by federal authorities to have operated affiliated companies within KSIC's holding company structure in violation of federal law on multiple occasions within the past several years," the filing said.Don Hankey -- the chairman of Knight Specialty's parent company -- declined to comment on the attorney general's recent filing on Friday.In an interview with ABC News on April 4, he said he had "no concerns at all" about the bond."Seldom do our applications or our bonds get turned down. I imagine it is being scrutinized very carefully, and they're checking to make sure all the i's are dotted and the T's are crossed," Hankey said. "It's a large amount for anybody."Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

KTRK-TV(BRENHAM, Texas) -- One person was killed and more than a dozen injured after a man allegedly intentionally crashed a stolen semi-truck into a Texas Department of Public Safety office in Brenham on Friday, officials said.A suspect is in custody, authorities said."This is a tragic day for us," Texas DPS Regional Director Gerald Brown told reporters during a press briefing Friday.The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. local time, when the driver rammed a stolen 18-wheeler into a Texas DPS driver's license office, Brown said.The suspect -- identified by authorities as Clenard Parker, 42 -- had been informed by the office on Thursday that he was not eligible to renew his commercial driver's license, authorities said.The suspect then "returned today with intent to harm," Washington County Judge Mark Keough said in a statement on social media.Six people were transported to area hospitals, one of whom died from their injuries at the hospital, authorities said. Eight victims were treated at the scene and released.The victims were all inside the building at the time of the crash. It is unclear how many were civilians, authorities said.Footage from the scene showed extensive damage to the Texas DPS office.The Texas Rangers are investigating and there is no further threat to the community, Texas DPS said.This is a developing story.

Getty Images - STOCK(NEW YORK) -- Drug shortages have reached an all-time high in the United States, pharmacists are warning.During the first three months of 2024, there were 323 active medication shortages, according to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) and Utah Drug Information Service. Previously, the record high was 320 shortages in 2014.This ASHP started tracking shortages in 2001."All drug classes are vulnerable to shortage," Dr. Paul Abramowitz, CEO of ASHP, said in a statement. "Some of the most worrying shortages involve generic sterile injectable medications, including cancer chemotherapy drugs and emergency medications stored in hospital crash carts and procedural areas."Last year, the American Cancer Society issued a warning that chemotherapy drugs had returned to the list of the top-five drug classes affected by shortages and warned this could have a devastating effect on patients.Some hospitals and clinics reported being completely out of the medications. Doctors have been forced to either ration cancer drugs or triage which patients receive the drugs first.Additionally, Abramowitz said there are ongoing national shortages for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) medications, which remain "an issue for clinicians and patients."Among them is the ADHD prescription drug Adderall. The shortage began in late 2022 initially due to a delay from a manufacturer. As of early 2024, the shortage is now demand-driven, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration."The FDA can utilize different tools during a shortage to assist manufactures with increasing supply including expediting review of a supplement to add additional supply of active ingredients or adding additional capacity," an FDA official told ABC News in a statement earlier this year. "Unfortunately, we are not able to share specific actions, as they are considered commercial confidential information. "Shortages of some drugs have been an ongoing problem in the U.S. for more than a decade and were recently exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report by the Senate Homeland Security Committee in March 2023. Lack of necessary medication means patients have to get delayed treatments, substitutions or sometimes no treatment at all, the report found.At a hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee earlier this year, expert witnesses -- practitioners, researchers and pharmaceutical company executives -- said drug shortages can hurt patients financially because they may turn to alternate products that can cost more.ASHP said it is working with the federal government to advise HHS agencies on their response to shortages and on steps the trade group believes the federal government could take to alleviate the shortage, including Congress requiring manufacturers to be more transparent about any supply chain issues and to encourage greater diversity in the supply chain.ASHP, however, said it had concerns about a proposal from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services that would issue financial penalties for hospitals that lack the resources to stockpile medications."Much work remains to be done at the federal level to fix the root causes of drug shortages," Abramowitz said. "ASHP will continue to engage with policymakers regularly as we guide efforts to draft and pass new legislation to address drug shortages and continue to strongly advocate on behalf of our members for solutions that work."ABC News' Kristina Abovyan and Youri Benadjaoud contributed to this report.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

SDI Productions/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Thousands of women between ages 50 and 74 are not receiving life-saving mammograms, according to new federal data.Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked at the prevalence of mammography use over a two-year period, in a report published Tuesday.Mammography use varied by state and sociodemographics, but the study found the more health-related social needs (HRSNs) a woman had, the less likely she was to get a mammogram.HRSNs are barriers that impact a person's health or health care access with examples, including food insecurity and lack of access to reliable transportation. These are sometimes referred to as social determinants of health (SDOHs).For women between ages 50 and 74, mammography prevalence was 83.2% for women with no adverse SDOHs or HRSNs. However, among women in that age bracket with three or more SDOHs or HRSNs, the prevalence was 65.7%.Social isolation, life dissatisfaction, lost or reduced hours of employment, being on food stamps, lack of reliable public transportation and cost barriers were all associated with not having had a mammogram within the previous two years.The authors said this was consistent with findings from previous studies showing associations between lower mammography use and HRSNs, including lower educational attainment and income, not having a usual source of health care and being uninsured."We have to address these health-related social needs to help women get the mammograms they need," CDC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Debra Houry said in a statement. "Identifying these challenges and coordinating efforts between health care, social services, community organizations, and public health to help address these needs could improve efforts to increase breast cancer screening and ultimately save these tragic losses to families."Breast cancer causes more than 40,000 deaths among women in the U.S. each year, according to the CDC. Breast cancer death rates have been decreasing, but the report noted this has not been equitable across all groups. For example, Black women and women with low incomes are more likely to die from breast cancer.However, evidence has shown that mammograms reduce breast cancer deaths. A multi-national study published in 2020, led by Queen Mary University in London, found that women who participated in mammography screenings had a 41% reduced risk of dying of breast cancer within 10 years and a 25% reduction in the rate of advanced breast cancers.The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the group of specialists that set national guidelines for preventive care in the US, currently had recommended women between ages 50 and 74 receive a mammogram every two years during the dates that were studied. The Task Force now recommends all women should get screened for breast cancer every other year, starting at age 40 with final guidelines expected shortly."If we are to achieve higher breast cancer screening for all women, we have to look at all the possible challenges women face in getting mammograms," said Lisa Richardson, director of the CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, in a statement. "Health care providers can now assess whether women have health-related social needs and help women get the services they need. Every woman should be able to get screened for breast cancer without barriers."Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Mayor Eric Adams holds a press availability at a news conference Jan. 08, 2024 in New York City. (Spencer Platt/Getty Images)(NEW YORK) -- The sexual assault lawsuit against New York Mayor Eric Adams is "entirely fictitious" and should be dismissed, his defense attorney Alex Spiro wrote in a new court filing.Spiro is assisting the city's Law Department in defending the mayor, who, as a New York City Police Department captain at the time of the alleged conduct, is eligible for free legal representation from the city.The attorney set to work Tuesday, filing the answer to a complaint from Lorna Beach-Mathura, who claimed she and Adams were both working for the Transit Bureau in the early 1990s when he allegedly sexually harassed her by driving her to a remote lot, demanding oral sex, exposing himself and forcing her to touch him. Her lawsuit also named the city and the NYPD."The allegations of wrongdoing in the Complaint are entirely fictitious, and Defendants expect and are looking forward to their day in court and complete vindication," Spiro wrote.Beach-Mathura, a Florida resident, alleged the abuse by Adams occurred in 1993 after she sought his help with an employment issue. Beach-Mathura has alleged sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, assault and battery and brought the case under the Adult Survivor's act, which allowed claims to be brought long after the statute of limitations had lapsed. The mayor has denied the allegation."This did not happen. It did not happen. I don't recall ever meeting this person during my time in the police department," Adams said shortly after the lawsuit was filed.Spiro will charge $250 per hour for work by partners and $175 for work by associates, according to city officials, significantly less than his customary $2,000 per hour rate.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

JDawnInk/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- A total solar eclipse is passing over North America on April 8, creating a path of totality that will cast some parts of Mexico, the United States and Canada in darkness.Here's how the news is developing. All times Eastern:Apr 08, 4:57 PMTotal solar eclipse reaches last US stateThe total solar eclipse reached the final U.S. state as those in northern Maine observed the sun be covered by the moon under clear skies.Apr 08, 4:46 PMPeak totality shined over New HampshireIn Colebrook, New Hampshire, Monday’s total solar eclipse was captured in rare form. The sun’s corona shined behind the traveling moon during totality, creating a bright, glowing crown for eclipse viewers.Apr 08, 4:24 PMPartial solar eclipse captured behind Statue of LibertyThe Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is seen in the path of the partial solar eclipse. In New York State, the path of totality spans 124 miles across 29 counties.Apr 08, 3:53 PMStunning total solar eclipse on display in Niagara FallsA stunning view of the total solar eclipse was captured at Niagara Falls State Park in New York. A cloud of light appeared above the sun as the moon eclipsed the celestial body during totality.Below the eclipse, red coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are seen peaking out behind the moon.Daylight plunged into a blue twilight at the state park as skywatchers experienced totality.Apr 08, 3:38 PMSun’s coronal mass ejection seen during total solar eclipse in IllinoisIn Carbondale, Illinois, the sun’s corona was seen glittering behind the moon as it eclipsed the sun near peak totality.Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are expulsions of plasma, threaded by magnetic field lines, that are ejected from the sun's corona, or outer atmosphere, according to NASA. CMEs look like twisted rope, dubbed "flux rope" by scientists.Apr 08, 2:38 PMRural Oklahoma towns welcome thousands for total eclipseTwo small towns in rural Oklahoma are welcoming an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 people to Beavers Bend State Park as visitors come to witness the solar total eclipse.Typically, the towns of Broken Bow and Hochatown have year-round populations of 2,500 and 150, respectively.Oklahoma Secretary of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage Shelley Zumwalt told ABC News that McCurtain County has been preparing for about a year and a half, having meetings with state and local public safety officials and other agencies to deal with the influx of visitors and traffic.She said she's met people who came to the state park from across the U.S. and from Europe, and said she hopes it leads to people returning after the eclipse."Just today we've had people from Norway, Denmark, California, Hawaii, Tennessee that I've just seen passing through our lodge this morning, which is phenomenal," Zumwalt said."But, in a broader sense, I think that post-pandemic, a lot of people are looking for vacations that kind of take them out of the city and to maybe more of a quieter place and we have a lot of that in Oklahoma and see the tremendous response from just this event has really solidified in my mind that we have something special," she continued.Apr 08, 2:37 PMPartial solar eclipse reaches Liberty Island, New YorkLiberty Island, New York, has its first look at the partial solar eclipse. New York is among the 11 contiguous U.S. states situated within the path of totality.Apr 08, 2:24 PMCities in Mexico 1st to experience total solar eclipseCities across Mexico, including Mazatlán, were the first in North America to experience the total solar eclipse.Apr 08, 2:24 PMThe moon begins to eclipse the sun in Fort Worth, TexasA partial eclipse is viewable in Fort Worth, Texas on Monday as the moon partially blocks the sun. The city will experience totality at approximately 1:40 p.m., local time.Apr 08, 1:16 PMPartial solar eclipse begins in MexicoThe eclipse has begun to cross North America with the first photos showing the partial solar eclipse in Mazatlán, Mexico.Apr 08, 12:35 PMHow some schools prepared students for the eclipseAs millions of Americans gather to watch the solar eclipse, science teachers have been preparing their students for the historic event.LaToya Padilla, an earth science teacher at School of the Arts in the Rochester City School District in upstate New York, said she has been talking to her students about the eclipse since October of last year. Rochester is in the path of totality."We talked about how it's kind of a once-in-a lifetime experience, we talked about how the last eclipse in Rochester was 99 years ago, and how it might be a whole [other] lifetime before you get to see another eclipse unless you go chasing them, which some people do," she told ABC News.Padilla said she taught her students the difference between a partial solar eclipse, which is when the moon only partially covers the sun, and a total solar eclipse, when the moon -- for a short period -- completely blocks the sun.She also explained the proper eye protection to wear and how when the moon covers the sun, observers will be able to see planets, including Venus and Jupiter, in the sky."I feel like it’s very important because you don't want [students] to wait until they're older to realize that missed out on this opportunity," Padilla said. "Even though they might not fully understand what a unique experience it is, talking to them now about it and getting them to understand that it is unique, and you may never experience this again.”Apr 08, 11:46 AMFAA grounds some flights due to eclipseThe FAA is stopping some flights from taking off to two small commercial airports due to eclipse volume.Certain flights headed to Southern Illinois Airport, located in Jackson County, and Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois, located in Williamson County -- both in the path of totality -- are being held at their destinations until at least 12 p.m. ET.The FAA website indicates that the probability of the ground stop being extended is between 30% and 60%.-ABC News' Sam SweeneyApr 08, 11:11 AMWhy is April’s total solar eclipse historic?The contiguous United States hasn’t seen a total solar eclipse since August 2017, but the seven-year difference between eclipses is "deceptive," Fred Espenak, a former astrophysicist from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and author of "Road Atlas for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2024," previously told ABC News."If you look previous to 2017, the last one was in 1979,” he said. "So, it's a little bit deceptive that these two eclipses were in seven years of each other."The next total solar eclipse to occur in the contiguous U.S. won't be until August 2044 in Montana and North Dakota, and the next to span coast-to-coast is slated for 2045, according to NASA.Comparatively, 2024's total solar eclipse is "better" than 2017's, because the path of totality is almost 60% wider and the duration of the eclipse is about 60% longer, according to Espenak, who explained some locations within the path will experience up to four and a half minutes of the eclipse.-ABC News’ Leah SarnoffApr 08, 11:02 AMWhat to know about the total solar eclipseA total solar eclipse is passing over North America on April 8, creating a path of totality that will cast some parts of Mexico, the United States and Canada in darkness.During a total solar eclipse, which is a rare celestial event, the moon passes between the sun and Earth. The moon slowly covers and, for a brief period, completely blocks the face of the sun.In the U.S., the path of totality begins in Texas and will travel through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Some parts of Tennessee and Michigan will also experience the total solar eclipse, according to NASA.April 8’s solar eclipse will be the last of its kind to occur in North America for the next 20 years. There will not be another total solar eclipse in North America again until 2044.The best time to view totality will depend on where you are in the U.S. In Eagle Pass, Texas, totality will occur at 1:27 p.m. CDT and last
