We begin with the latest in the historic criminal trial of former U.S. President and presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump.

Prosecutors are asking Judge Juan Merchan to fine Trump $10,000 for violating a gag order that prevents him from criticizing witnesses and others involved in the case.

New York Prosecutor Christopher Conroy asked the court to hold Trump in contempt, citing numerous posts from Trump's Truth social media platform.

Conroy pointed to an April 10 post that called porn star Stormy Daniels and his former lawyer Michael Cohen sleazebags.

Both are expected to testify in the trial.

Conroy added that other posts led to media coverage that prompted a juror last week to withdraw over privacy concerns.

Trump is charged with falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 payment shortly after a 2016 U.S. election to buy Daniels' silence about a sexual encounter she has said they had in 2006.

Trump has pleaded not guilty and denies such encounter took place.

In other news, the National Federation of Filipino-American Associations or NAFA Nevada Chapter

recently awarded outlawed

outstanding Filipino women in various fields and industries.

They then paid tribute to 18 women who exemplify the qualities of empowerment champions, change agents, community advocates, inspiration leaders, and collaborators.

There is a sense of motherhood in all of us.

And when you see someone, another woman, in need of something, you know, sometimes just an embrace helps them get through what they're going through for the day.

Women helping women.

It's not just an adage, but it should be a practice.

Rosita Lee, who served on former President Barack Obama's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, received a Lifetime Achievement Award.

For all that I can do, some more for the rest of the life, my life here on Earth, I will continue to do civility and to help people to come to know themselves and to love God.

Our second empowerment champion is Beverly.

Beverly Llorente.

ABS-CBN News' longtime Nevada correspondent, Bev Llorente, was honored with an Empowerment Award.

TFC will persist in weaving stories that resonate with Filipinos worldwide.

And finally in sports, Philly and gymnast Levi Jung-Rui Vivar has just won her first World Cup medal,

bagging silver in the women's uneven bars in the Doha Tennis.

It's the first time Levi has won the Qatar leg of the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup Series last April 19th.

The bigger prize that comes with the medal, the 17-year-old becomes the 10th Filipino athlete to qualify for the Summer Olympic Games in Paris.

I still feel like I'm dissociating from reality. Like, this has been a dream of mine since I started gymnastics.

Over the weekend, Levi returned to Dallas, Texas, where she trains, and was warmly welcomed by family.

And friends, as they proudly wave the Philippine flag, she will be in Houston May 11th to participate in an event that hopes to raise funds for surgical missions in the Philippines.

And those are the news-making headlines today.
