Donald Trump is now a convicted felon - the first president ever convicted of a crime. The bombshell news he was found guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money trial is sending shockwaves around the world. However, today Trump came out swinging addressing the media inside Trump Tower. And what happens now? There is concern from both sides of the political spectrum who say they are worried the guilty verdict could touch off unrest and violence. It's clear the divide in this country has now extended to the legal system. Plus, after the verdict was read the judge told the 12 jurors they are free to speak publicly, if they want too. It's something they will no doubt seriously think about - since there are worries they could be targeted by angry Trump supporters, so are they safe? And last time we told you about the young woman who was with General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor when he was shot and killed by thieves stealing his car's catalytic converter. She had posted an emotional account about what happened...now she's speaking with Inside Edition.

This guy can handle just about anything that comes his way - he's an Iraq combat veteran who has also survived a brain tumor. However, nothing could prepare him for coming face to face with a ferocious grizzly bear. What makes it even crazier is the fact that it happened on his honeymoon! Now he and his wife are speaking with Les Trent. And she's the beautiful singer whose beating at the hands of her former boyfriend music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs sent shockwaves around the world. Now we're hearing from her makeup artist, who says she knew first-hand about the abuse. Plus, Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathaway have some pretty steamy love scenes in their new movies...with much younger guys! And it’s a trend we're seeing not just in the movies. And it's not just the elderly who slip and fall in the shower...here's how to stay safe.

Today Donald Trump's hush money case went to the jurors…now the whole world waits for the 12 men and women to reach their verdict. A verdict that could upend the 2024 presidential race. Ann Mercogliano is at the courthouse where there's a whole lot of nail biting going on. And it should have been a fabulous time...30 high school students and six parents renting a bus to safely get them to a high school graduation party. Then the 911 call came in from one mom, something was very wrong with their driver and they need help fast. Jim Moret tells us what happened next. Plus, last time we told you about the General Hospital star who was fatally shot when he came upon thieves who were trying to steal the catalytic converter from his car. Well, he's by no means alone…more than 60,000 are stolen each year. Inside Edition reports on a guy who fought back….but was that the wise thing to do? And it’s been 30 years since the wife of O.J. Simpson and her friend were brutally murdered...now the surviving sisters of Nicole Brown Simpson are speaking out, revealing despite knowing Nicole was in an abusive marriage, they couldn't protect her.

Tributes are pouring in for a popular General Hospital actor who was fatally shot in Los Angeles. In an emotional interview, his ex-fiancé tells us he must have been terrified in his final moments. Cops say he was killed after he stopped to confront suspects trying to steal something from his car often targeted by thieves - a catalytic converter.  And after a six day break, the Donald Trump hush money trial was back on today, with both sides done calling witnesses, the jury heard closing arguments. The former president showed up with some new family members for support...but he certainly wasn't feeling any love from Oscar winner Robert DeNiro. Plus, a man is accused of stabbing four young girls at a movie theater over the holiday weekend. Cops say the attack was unprovoked, and authorities are investigating if the suspect committed a murder in another state.  And a few days ago, we told you about the security guard at the Cannes Film Festival who angered former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland by getting too close for comfort. Now the security guard is being called out for crossing the line with not one, but two other actresses.

The unofficial start of summer, which means you may soon be on vacation, and you definitely don't want to sit next to someone on a plane who's coughing and sneezing. So what can you do? Les Trent has some ideas. And it sounds unlikely but it happens a lot…people getting trapped inside restaurant freezers. Every year, 60 people die in incidents involving those walk in freezers. Experts say there's a simple fix that could save lives. Plus, a child chokes to death on food every five days in this country…and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino from The Jersey Shore says his little boy could have become one of those statistics, if not for his wife, who grabbed a lifesaving device when the child choked on pasta. And with summer upon us, it’s the perfect time to talk about kids and water safety - and there's a new way little ones are being taught to swim fully clothed.

Every summer for the past seven decades, 50 high school seniors—one from every state—descend on Mobile, Alabama to take part in one of the country’s most lucrative scholarship competitions for teen girls. 

The Competition takes you behind the scenes of the Distinguished Young Women (DYW) program, and follows seven girls as they experience the highs and lows of competing for two weeks, away from home and under the most high-stress circumstances. Some girls enter for the money, some for prestige. All of them are used to being the best and the brightest. But only one will walk away with the top prize.

Host Shima Oliaee (Dolly Parton’s America, Pink Card) was Nevada’s contestant in 2001. More than 20 years later, she returns to Alabama as a judge. What can two weeks with 50 of the country’s most ambitious teens tell us about girlhood in America?

Lots of Americans are traveling to Europe this long weekend...especially Portugal and Spain, and it’s not just to take in the local sights. It's because Taylor Swift is there and Swifties are flying thousands of miles to see their idol live. And speaking of travel - a family was on the way to Disneyland for vacation when they experienced a nightmare on their flight. Their-nine-year old daughter ended up being filmed while in the bathroom. Ann Mercogliano spoke with girl's mother by phone. The accused flight attendant has pleaded not guilty to attempted sexual exploitation of children. Plus, if you think your home is safe because you have security cameras - think again. Thieves have found a high tech way to shut them down, and the brazen bad guys also have a new way to spy on your every move. As Jim Moret reports, this couple who was targeted now has a serious warning for all homeowners. And she's the mom who wrote a children's book about grief after her husband died...now she's on trial for his murder. Kouri Richins is speaking out from behind bars saying she's ready to go to war to prove she's not a murderer.

She's the woman on the receiving end of Sean “Diddy” Combs violence in that hotel hallway video…and now Cassie Ventura is talking about it. She says domestic violence broke her, and she's still working to recover. And going someplace this holiday weekend? Well, that's you and 43.8 million other people. So listen up to Megan Alexander's travel dos and don’ts. Plus, a little boy ended up hospitalized after he came face to face with a rattlesnake in his backyard. Jim Moret visited the boy and his very relieved mom. And more fireworks at the house hearing looking at college protests with one representative telling some university officials they've earned an “F” for the way they've handled things.

It was the most stressful of police stand-offs. A domestic disturbance, an angry man with a gun and a seven-month-old infant who'd been shot. Now police have just released edited body cam footage of how they saved the baby. And is someone trying to pull a fast one of the estate of Elvis Presley? You may have heard that Elvis’s granddaughter, actress Riley Keough got an emergency order to stop a courthouse auction of Graceland - the storied home of the late rock and roll legend. Ann Mercogliano has the latest on the war over Graceland. Plus, this weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. However, if your Memorial Day plans include some time at the beach, this next story is a cautionary tale. Kids can wander off in a flash…this little girl did, but fortunately Alison Hall tells us this tale has a happy ending. And she's the member of congress described by her colleague as quote "bleach blonde bad built butch body" - and Marjorie Taylor Green says she couldn't be prouder.

The defense has rested in the hush money trial of Donald Trump…without the former president taking the witness stand. The jury will get the case next week. Meantime, 4,000 miles away at the Cannes Film Festival, a screening of a film called The Apprentice is causing a stir. It's about Donald Trump's rise to fame as a real estate tycoon in New York - and one scene in particular is causing an uproar. And there's a reason they say keep your seatbelt fastened on a plane…it's for unexpected turbulence. However, on a Singapore bound flight overnight, that turbulence turned deadly. One man is dead, and nearly three dozen others injured. Jim Moret explains what happened. Plus, a man collapsed while cycling in the Arizona heat, but fortunately a nurse was nearby. As the woman worked to save his life…she started singing the Bee Gees hit “Staying alive” for a very good reason. Megan Alexander explains. And she famously played an A.I. robot in the movie Her, and now actress Scarlett Johansson is furious over the uncanny resemblance of an A.I. voice being used by a major tech company to her own. Johansson is taking legal action, suggesting the similarity is no accident.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is responding to that devastating video footage of him kicking and dragging his former girlfriend in a hotel hallway with a video of his own. In the video Combs says he takes “full responsibility” for his actions. However, his critics charge that Diddy's sorry the video got out…not truly repentant for his actions. And it's day four on the witness stand for Michael Cohen, as attorneys representing Donald Trump in the criminal hush money case continue trying to damage his credibility. In one bombshell exchange Cohen actually admitted to stealing money from the Trump Organization. Plus, the controversy hasn’t hurt Butker's popularity - his number 7 jersey is the bestselling jersey on NFL’s online shop - ahead of his popular teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. And nothing says summer more than ice cream - but wouldn't it be amazing if that yummy ice cream didn't melt so fast. Well, this frozen treat, the Drumstick supposedly doesn't melt…so we put it to the test.
