As Washington argues over how much and what types of weaponry to send Israel, "Israeli officers chafe over lack of postwar plan" from their own government, The New York Times says on Wednesday's front page. "Officials say void allows Hamas to reclaim ground it lost" and ups the risks for Israeli troops. In Ukraine, the Times adds, "Russian gains in war worry U.S. officials" as they "scramble to replenish Ukraine's arsenal." Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Kyiv and declared America's "vision for victory," The Washington Post says, which included him performing Neil Young's "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" at a bar with a local band.
In his second day of testimony in former President Donald Trump's Manhattan criminal trial, Michael Cohen "lays out nuts and bolts of scheme" to hide hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels, the Los Angeles Times says. On cross examination, Trump's lawyer "paint's Trump's ex-fixer as as a foe obsessed with revenge," The Wall Street Journal adds. In Trump's Georgia criminal case, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says, the immunity claim he has used to avoid federal criminal trials "may not help Trump" in Fulton County.
