Details of David Pecker's Involvement in Donald Trump's alleged hush money trial came to light in court Thursday. Pecker took the stand for his third day of testimony, and revealed conversations between himself, the former President, and Associate Michael Cohen. Pecker says he arranged to buy the story surrounding Trump's alleged affair with Playboy model Karen McDougal for $150,000, but backed out of the deal after consulting with election lawyers, believing the payment may break the law.        Tennessee Governor Bill Lee says he plans to sign a bill that would allow teachers to carry guns. The State House passed the bill along party lines earlier this week, and on Thursday Lee confirmed he plans to sign the bill into law. The legislation would allow certain teachers to carry guns in their classrooms.       Columbia University has dropped its midnight deadline for hundreds of pro-Palestinian student protesters to remove their tent camps from the school grounds. University President Minouche Shafik issued a statement late Thursday saying talks with the students "have shown progress and are continuing as planned."       Colombia has become the first country to restrict the import of U.S. beef due to cows testing positive for bird flu. The USDA announced on its website this week that the South American country is banning beef products from cattle slaughtered in eight U.S. states where dairy cows have tested positive for the avian influenza.        The first night of the 2024 NFL Draft had its fair share of offensive players fly off the board. A record 23 offensive players were taken in the first round. The Chicago Bears kicked off the night by selecting USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.        Disney World is reportedly escalating its war against a certain brand of shoe. Visitors are no longer allowed to wear Crocs while riding on escalators at the Magic Kingdom, according to the Disney fansite "Inside the Magic." Photos and videos on social media show different styles of Crocs getting stuck on escalators and forcing them to shut down.
