The acquisition: It’ll close by mid-2025 if it gets regulatory approval. Current U.S. Cellular customers will be able to keep their plans or switch to a similar T-Mobile contract. [Engadget] Rural connectivity: T-Mobile said the acquisition will help customers in more rural, underserved parts of the U.S., where access to high-speed internet can be limited. [USA Today]

3 Questions... about Trump’s hush money trial Closing arguments took place in Trump’s hush money trial yesterday. Anthony talked to Kate Murphy, who’s been covering the trial for Yahoo News, about where the case stands. What happened yesterday? The defense sought to undercut Michael Cohen’s testimony and called him the “MVP of liars.” In our live blog, I reported on the prosecution rehashing the evidence against Trump for nearly five hours. What’s the biggest evidence against and in favor of Trump? I wrote about a bank statement that showed the Trump Organization's CFO planning Cohen's hush money reimbursement. However, Cohen's credibility as a witness may be undermined by texts to Trump's 2016 bodyguard. What’s next? Judge Juan Merchan will give the jury instructions for weighing the case today at 10 a.m. ET, then deliberations will begin. A verdict could come as early as this week. Dive deeper into the evidence: Read Kate’s full report.
