The former president had complained on the first day of the trial how he may be barred from seeing 18-year-old Barron finish high school - and last week, a judge finally agreed to pause it for a day in mid-May. But he's now announced he's attending a dinner the same day all the way in Minnesota - some 1,700 miles away from Barron's school in Palm Beach, Florida. He is expected to speak at the Minnesota Republican Party's Lincoln Reagan dinner that same night, and it's not known whether he will still be at the Florida ceremony. Trump, 77, should have time to attend both events May 17 - with Barron's graduation starting at 10 am, and the dinner expected in the evening.

War-weary Palestinians rejoiced in the streets on Monday at news that Hamas had accepted a ceasefire agreement hashed out by Egyptian and Qatari negotiators - only for Israel to dismiss the deal and commence bombing of the southern city of Rafah overnight.
