The wait for a New York grand jury's decision on whether to indict former President Trump will continue to next week. The grand jury hearing the case involving alleged hush money paid to an adult film actress typically doesn't consider it on Thursdays and doesn't meet on Fridays. The grand jury is viewing evidence and hearing testimony regarding claims that Trump ordered a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.       President Biden is requesting Congress approve over seven-billion-dollars in aid to three Pacific island countries. The ask comes as the U.S. and China compete to influence the region. The money would provide economic assistance over the next 20 years to the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia.        South Korea is blasting North Korea's test of a so-called secret weapon. North Korea's state news agency said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test of an underwater drone that can trigger a so-called "radioactive tsunami" on Tuesday. The president of South Korea said today he would "make sure North Korea pays the price for its reckless provocations."       A decision on a White House run by former Vice President Mike Pence could be coming soon. Yesterday, Pence told Fox News that he and his wife have "gotten a lot of encouragement around the country" and now they're "getting closer to a decision." The former Indiana governor has already started traveling to early primary states where he's announced his stance on a handful of GOP issues.       Forty-five-thousand Disney World workers will be getting a raise. The Florida theme park and the Services Trade Council Union agreed to a new contract yesterday. The union's workers will get raises of at least three dollars an hour this year.        "John Wick: Chapter 4" is headed for a franchise-best opening weekend. Deadline reports the latest entry in the Keanu Reeves-starring franchise raked in about eight-million dollars during Thursday night previews. The film is on track to make at least 70-million dollars domestic on its opening weekend, and 115-million dollars globally.
