Israeli war cabinet resumes hostage deal discussions, official says

A delegation from Egypt traveled to Israel on Friday in a bid to avert a planned Israeli offensive in Rafah , where much of Gaza’s population has been displaced, according to an Israeli official who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the matter’s sensitivity. The trip, which follows an Israeli war cabinet meeting Thursday to discuss hostage deal negotiations, signals a resumption of efforts to broker a deal after months of failed talks . National security adviser Jake Sullivan told MSNBC on Friday that there was “new momentum, new life,” to the hostage and cease-fire talks.

Israel-Gaza war

The Israel-Gaza war has gone on for six months, and tensions have spilled into the surrounding region .

The war: On Oct. 7, Hamas militants launched an unprecedented cross-border attack on Israel that included the taking of civilian hostages at a music festival . (See photos and videos of how the deadly assault unfolded ). Israel declared war on Hamas in response, launching a ground invasion that fueled the biggest displacement in the region since Israel’s creation in 1948 .

Gaza crisis: In the Gaza Strip, Israel has waged one of this century’s most destructive wars , killing tens of thousands and plunging at least half of the population into “ famine-like conditions. ” For months, Israel has resisted pressure from Western allies to allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave .

U.S. involvement: Despite tensions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some U.S. politicians , including President Biden, the United States supports Israel with weapons , funds aid packages , and has vetoed or abstained from the United Nations’ cease-fire resolutions.

History: The roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and mistrust are deep and complex, predating the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 . Read more on the history of the Gaza Strip .

Airlines must cough up cancellation cash and can no longer hide fees under new federal rule

A federal rule announced Wednesday will require airlines to quickly give cash refunds — without lengthy arguments — to passengers whose flights have been canceled or seriously delayed, the Biden administration said.

“Passengers deserve to get their money back when an airline owes them — without headaches or haggling,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.

The rule from the Transportation Department says passengers who decline other reimbursement like travel credits are to get cash refunds.

It applies when a flight is canceled or has a “significant change,” the administration said.A “significant change” includes when departure or arrival times are three or more hours different from the scheduled times for domestic flights or six hours for international flights, and when the airport is changed or connections are added, it said.

Passengers are also to get refunds when their baggage is 12 hours late in delivery for domestic flights.

The new rule comes after promises to hold airlines accountable after major disruptions that made travel hell for passengers, including the 2022 Southwest Airlines meltdown , which resulted in almost 17,000 significantly delayed or canceled flights and a missing baggage nightmare.

The Transportation Department said that the new rule means refunds are automatic and that "airlines must automatically issue refunds without passengers having to explicitly request them or jump through hoops."

Also announced Wednesday was a rule requiring airlines to more clearly disclose so-called junk fees upfront, such as surprise baggage or other fees, the department said.

It said that rule is expected to save fliers around $500 million a year.

The surprise fees are used so tickets look cheaper than they really are, and then fliers get the unwelcome surprise of fees on checked bags, carry-on bags or reservation changes — or even discounts that are advertised but apply to only part of the ticket price, officials said.

Airlines will also have to tell fliers clearly that their seats are guaranteed and that they don't have to pay extra to ensure they have seats for flights, according to the Transportation Department.

Airlines for America, an industry trade group, said that its member airlines “offer transparency and vast choice to consumers from first search to touchdown” and that they do offer cash refunds.

The 11 largest U.S. airlines returned $10.9 billion in cash refunds last year, an increase over $7.5 billion in 2019 but slightly down from $11.2 billion in 2022, the group said.

“U.S. airlines are providing more options and better services while ticket prices, including ancillary revenues, are at historic lows,” Airlines for America said.

Left out of the federal changes announced Wednesday are those involving "family seating fees," but the Transportation Department said in a statement that "DOT is planning to propose a separate rule that bans airlines from charging these junk fees."

Travelers have complained to the Transportation Department that children weren’t seated next to accompanying adults, including in some cases young children, department officials said last year.

Fees on bags specifically have made up an increasing amount of airline revenues, the Transportation Department said Wednesday in announcing the new rules.

A Transportation Department analysis found that airline revenue from baggage fees increased 30% from 2018 to 2022, while operating revenue — which is from the flights themselves — increased by only half that amount, the department said.

Parramatta Eels suffer second half collapse to Manly, as Maika Sivo sent to sin-bin for 'stupid' forearm

Sport Parramatta Eels suffer second half collapse to Manly, as Maika Sivo sent to sin-bin for 'stupid' forearm

Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has called Maika Sivo's forearm to the head of Manly's Reuben Garrick "dumb" as the Eels collapse for the second time in seven days.

The Eels gave up a half-time lead to lose 32-18, having two players sent to the sin-bin in the final 23 minutes.

Maikia Sivo, who scored a hat-trick at Brookvale Oval on Friday night, encapsulated the Eels capitulation when he was sin-binned for hitting Manly's Reuben Garrick with a forearm to the head.

Parramatta trailed by two points, despite scoring four tries to three at that stage, when Sivo hit a defenceless Garrick on the ground after the Eels winger had made a tackle.

Poetically, Garrick scored twice in the next five minutes for Manly, where Sivo should have been defending.

"One of the most egregious things I have ever seen," former Manly player John Gibbs told ABC Sport in relation to Sivo's forearm.

Eels captain Clint Gutherson and coach Brad Arthur were clearly frustrated by the second half collapse when they fronted their post-match press conference. 

Arthur called Sivo's forearm "dumb" while Gutherson lamented the action, especially after Parramatta had just returned to 13 men following Will Penisini's return from a previous sin-bin.

"Just stupid. We were right in the game, 10 minutes left, we just got Will back on," Gutherson said.

"Just silly things at the moment which are hurting us. Just missed tackles, penalties against us. Can't do that in NRL games, doesn't matter who you're versing."

The Eels held a 14-6 lead at half-time, scoring three tries in the opening 40 minutes.

Manly's Haumole Olakau'atu was put on report and sent to the sin-bin, the first of three made by referee Gerard Sutton, for a lifting tackle on Parramatta's Shaun Lane in the fifth minute.

Sivo had two tries in the first half, becoming the first opposition player to score a double in three consecutive matches at Brookvale Oval.

Tries to Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans in the opening 10 minutes of the second half gave Manly their first lead of the night.

Will Penisini was sin-binned in the 57th minute for tackling Trbojevic without the ball, denying what could have been a try-scoring opportunity.

But Sivo's third try, while Parramatta was down to 12 men, breathed new life into the Eels who trailed 20-18 with 13 minutes to play.

Sivo's forearm to Garrick then ended the Eels charge as they fell away in the final 10 minutes.

While the attention rested with Sivo post-game, the Eels had already given up their half-time lead.

Their second half was littered with errors and penalties, while Gutherson and Dylan Brown combined to successfully kick just one of five shots for goal. 

"We're just having lapses in concentration," Parramatta's J'maine Hopgood told ABC Sport.

"It's one play in one set, it's having a ripple effect and it's killing us at the moment."

Parramatta has the bye next week, while Manly stays at home for a Friday night clash with the Canberra Raiders.

That is all from us tonight

What an evening of NRL.

This game was fabulous for the neutral.

A close contest, plenty of drama and A LOT of talking points coming out of it.

We will be back tomorrow for two more matches this Anzac Round in the NRL.

Daly Cherry-Evans makes a profound point on Anzac Round

We are giving the final word from Brookvale to Daly Cherry-Evans, who told this to ABC Sport.

"It’s a real privilege to play in Anzac week and to represent the Anzacs. "We don’t take that lightly and that part we definitely draw on, but there are very little similarities between war and sport, so we certainly don’t try and compare ourselves to anything war-related. "But we certainly do try and tap into the spirit that they showed as Anzacs."

J'maine Hopgood tells ABC Sport concentration is hurting the Eels

Parramatta forward   J'maine Hopgood has spoken with John Gibbs.

A clearly disappointed Hopgood told ABC Sport that the Eels' good work is being undone too regularly.

"We're just having lapses in concentration. It's one play in one set, it's having a ripple effect and it's killing us at the moment."  

What do you say to Sivo?

Brad Arthur has been asked what he will say to Maika Sivo following the loss — and the sin-bin.

Arthur has a measured response for a coach who looks frustrated.

"There's no point in saying too much tonight on emotion, we'll just let it settle" he says.

"He doesn't need me to tell how silly it was.

"Because we put him back in the team, and he showed why we put him back in the team, because he scored a couple of tries that probably no-one in our squad can score."

Coach and captain are not happy with Maika Sivo

Brad Arthur was asked about Sivo's sin-bin.

"It's dumb, isn't it? It's 20-18, we're up four tries to three," he said.

Captain Clint Gutherson was not impressed either, especially since the Eels had just got Will   Penisini back on the field from his sin-bin.

"Just stupid. We were right in the game, 10 minutes left, we just got Will back on," he said.

Brad Arthur and Clint Gutherson are holding their post game press conference

Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has said his team, like last week, need to play well for the whole 80 minutes.

"We've got to decide if it's full-time, everytime, with that effort," he said.

"If we keep doing that we'll fight our way out of it.

"I thought in the second half we probably beat ourselves."

Plenty of reaction after Sivo's sin-bin

Andrew Moore has seen more games of footy than the average fan.

"Maika Sivo who I love as a football player does some really dumb things. If I'm Brad Arthur, I'm nearly dropping him again."

Daly Cherry-Evans speaking with ABC Sport

Manly captain Daly Cherry-Evans has joined John Gibbs for ABC Sport.

"Definitely a weird game, but we'll take it," he said.

"We're certainly not playing the most clinical footy at the moment.

"We are there abouts, but we have some work to do."

FT: Manly overrun the Eels to win 32-18

Parramatta impoded again.

They were on top for a lot of that contest, but it all folded late.

As we said before the game, Manly find ways to win.

They found another way tonight.

78' NO TRY: Manly denied try by the Bunker

Manly thought they had a try, but Turbo was offside from a grubber kick.

It was a scrappy play, and among a few grubber kicks, Turbo was offside.

78' TRY: Manly are in again

75' try: garrick again scores where sivo should be.

Manly are going to win.

They are targeting Parramatta's left-edge, where Maika SIvo no longer is.

Daly Cherry-Evans throws a cut-out ball, picked up by Garrick, Parra's defence is at sixes-and-sevens and, and Garrick scores.

71' TRY: Manly scores through Reuben Garrick

It's almost poetic.

Reuben Garrick has scored where Maika Sivo should have been defending.  

Eels' coach Brad Arthur must be fuming.

70' SIN BIN: Maika Sivo has been marched for a forearm to the head

Maika Sivo has been sent to the bin.  

He tackles   Reuben Garrick. Fine tackle.

But then slams a forearm into his head — and he goes for it again.

He won't come back until 20 seconds to go.

"Blatantly dumb and blatantly deliberate," says caller Andrew Moore for ABC Sport.

"One of the most egregious things I have ever seen," says John Gibbs.

68': Gutherson sacks himself as goal kicker?

Gutherson has missed all conversions, so Dylan Brown takes this shot from the touchline.

Brown cannot kick the goal either.

Parramatta have scored 4 tries to 3 — but they trail by 2 points.

67' TRY: Sivo has three tries and Parramatta hit back

Maika Sivo has a hat-trick.

Oh no. We have gone to the Bunker.

Wait … the Bunker is going to uphold the try.

There was a high kick, followed by a collision between an Eels and a Sea Eagle (the Bunker clears the contact) Parra get the ball, flung it to the other side of the field.

Sivo scores!

63': A contentious call from the Bunker give Parramatta the ball

Jason Saab has been called for a knock-on from the Bunker, after the ball appeared to be knocked out by Parramatta's Maika Sivo.

The ref says Sivo knocked on, but the Eels challenge the play.

The Bunker thinks Sivo either hit Saab's hand or Saab knocked-on first.

Either way, premiership-winner Luke Lewis is not convinced.

"I don't know what a knock-on is anymore," Lewis tells ABC Sport.

59': Manly make it 20-14 with a penalty goal

After the sin bin,   Reuben Garrick kicks a penalty goal for Manly.

Election Updates: Watchdog group accuses the Trump campaign of violating finance law.

Neil Vigdor

Steve Garvey, the former L.A. Dodgers star and Republican U.S. Senate candidate in California, accused University of Southern California of enabling pro-Palestinian protests and equated the encampments to terrorism for obstructing "the pathway to classes." The school's provost noted yesterday that it asked protesters to remove the tents and closed campus gates to keep the demonstration from growing.

During a speech about federal investments in semiconductor manufacturing, Mr. Biden again trolled Republicans who voted against or criticized his CHIPS act. “My predecessor and his MAGA Republican friends have a very different view,” Mr. Biden said, as he celebrated $6.1 billion grant for Micron. Referring to Representatives Brandon Williams and Elise Stefanik, Biden said, “I guess they’re not going to be here today to celebrate.”

President Biden is preparing to deliver a speech celebrating $6.1 billion in grants to Micron Technology, the latest federal award to bolster semiconductors. “It’s going to have a gigantic impact,” Biden said. As he entered the science and technology museum where he will speak here in Syracuse, a group of about 100 pro-Palestinian protesters across the street chanted “ceasefire now!”

Five Republicans and three Democrats submitted signatures to the state of Michigan to try to qualify for their party primaries on Aug, 6 for the state's open U.S. Senate seat. G.O.P. petition filers included a trio of former House members: Mike Rogers, Peter Meijer and Justin Amash. The Democrats included Representative Elissa Slotkin and the actor Hill Harper.

Federal filings show that Christina Bobb was paid $5,288.82 on March 29 by the R.N.C., which provided a statement from Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, in response to questions about her status. Mr. Cheung said Ms. Bobb’s indictment in Arizona was another example of Democrats’ weaponization of the justice system. “The Democrat platform for 2024: if you can’t beat them, try to throw them in jail.”

One name to watch in the Arizona election indictment is Christina Bobb, a right-wing former lawyer for Donald Trump whom the R.N.C. hired as a senior election counsel. “This tells you all you need to know about today’s Republican National Committee,” Liz Cheney wrote on X , “The person in charge of election integrity for the @GOP was just indicted in Arizona for a lack of election integrity.”

North Carolina’s elections board said Thursday that felons who have not completed their sentences remain ineligible to vote, including parolees and those on probation and supervised release. It attempted to clarify their status after a federal judge on Monday blocked the state from enforcing an 1877 law, one criticized as discriminatory, that made it a crime for offenders who voted without knowing about the ban.

Donald Trump made a campaign stop this morning at a construction site in Manhattan, where he shook hands with union members. The brief visit, meant to highlight Trump’s criticism of Biden’s economic policies, exemplifies how his campaign intends to balance his court schedule with stops in media-heavy New York City that help him broadcast his national message.

Maggie Astor

Several lawyers and advisers to former President Donald J. Trump, including Rudolph W. Giuliani and Mark Meadows, were indicted in Arizona on Wednesday in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case, as well as in a similar case in Michigan .

Donald Trump’s legal team will argue to the Supreme Court this morning that he can’t be prosecuted because former presidents have “absolute immunity” from criminal charges for acts they took in office. Trump’s campaign, meanwhile, sent out a fund-raising email last night titled “Put Biden on Trial,” saying, “CROOKED JOE DESERVES LIFE IN PRISON!”

Watchdog group accuses the Trump campaign of violating finance law.

A campaign watchdog group filed a formal complaint to the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday accusing Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign and related political committees of concealing payments of $7.2 million in legal fees by paying them through an unrelated shell company in violation of campaign finance law.

At the center of the complaint , from the Campaign Legal Center, is the company that received the payments, Red Curve. The company is run by Bradley Crate, who is also the treasurer for the Trump campaign and four related political committees listed in the complaint, as well as for 200 other candidates and committees.

In its complaint, the Campaign Legal Center said that the Trump political committees had used Red Curve, which did not appear to offer legal services, “as a conduit to conceal payments for legal services.” The group filed its complaint hours after The Daily Beast published an article about the payments to Red Curve.

Neither Red Curve nor representatives of the Trump campaign responded to a request for comment.

“This apparent payment scheme, however, violates the reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act,” the complaint said, “which requires that committees provide detailed information about who they are paying for services, and how much they are paying for those services.”

The complaint also said that Red Curve advanced payments for the legal costs to the Trump committees as part of the payment scheme, potentially violating a campaign finance law that prevents corporations from giving money to candidates.

“What Red Curve was doing was basically making a contribution," said Saurav Ghosh, the director of federal campaign finance reform at the Campaign Legal Center. “If it’s treated as a corporation under federal campaign finance law, then that’s illegal on its face.”

He added: “If, alternatively, it’s an unincorporated entity for campaign finance purposes, then the contributions would be in excess” of the amount permitted by federal law.

Mr. Trump has spent more than $100 million on lawyers and other legal costs since he left office in 2021, relying almost entirely on political donations to cover those expenses. Red Curve was the largest single recipient of those payments, receiving $7.2 million, according to records filed to the F.E.C.

The F.E.C. also on Wednesday fined a pro-Trump super PAC $6,075 in a negotiated settlement for failing to disclose $150,600 in in-kind contributions in an April 2022 quarterly report. The super PAC — Make America Great Again, Again — was once a leading fund-raising group for Mr. Trump. It fell under scrutiny last year for an unusual payment of $155,000 to Melania Trump , Mr. Trump’s wife, for a speaking engagement.

The Trump campaign did not respond to questions about the fine.

In its complaint concerning Red Curve, the Campaign Legal Center cited what it said were similar violations of campaign finance law. The watchdog group noted the use of a law firm by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2016 that made payments to the firm Fusion GPS to conduct research against Mr. Trump — research that was used in what became known as the Steele dossier . The Clinton campaign and the D.N.C. agreed to pay $113,000 in fines to settle an F.E.C. investigation into campaign spending disclosures.

“It’s similar to this situation,” Mr. Ghosh said of the Fusion GPS case. “In that there was, you know, a lack of transparency about who’s getting paid. What is the payment for?”

Trump again compares campus protests to the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

Former President Donald J. Trump emerged from his felony criminal trial in New York on Thursday and again minimized the violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017 while portraying a recent wave of predominantly peaceful pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses as characterized by “tremendous hate.”

One woman was killed and nearly 40 people were injured when an avowed neo-Nazi plowed his car through a crowd of counterprotesters during violent clashes in Charlottesville. Earlier, hundreds of white supremacists had marched through the city, carrying torches and chanting, “Jews will not replace us.”

The current campus protests, while resulting in hundreds of arrests , have had no reports of significant violence.

But standing outside a Manhattan courthouse on Thursday, Mr. Trump said, “Charlottesville was a little peanut and was nothing compared — and the hate wasn’t the kind of hate that you have here. This is tremendous hate.” Of President Biden, he added, “We have a man that can’t talk about it because he doesn’t understand it.”

Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the White House, said in a statement that “minimizing the antisemitic and white supremacist poison displayed in Charlottesville is repugnant and divisive.” He added: “That moment compelled President Biden to run in 2020, because he has fought antisemitism and hate his entire life.”

Mr. Trump had used that same characterization about Charlottesville only a day earlier in a post on his social media site. The former president diminished the violence at the far-right rally, calling it “like a ‘peanut’” compared with the campus protests against the war in Gaza, which he distorted as “riots and anti-Israel protests.”

Mr. Trump also in that post repeated an attack on President Biden, saying that he “HATES Israel and Hates the Jewish people,” while adding “the problem is that he HATES the Palestinians even more, and he just doesn’t know what to do!?!?” Mr. Trump has repeatedly insulted Jews who vote for Democrats and for Mr. Biden, saying that they hate their religion and Israel .

Representatives for the Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Mr. Trump — who also presided over civil unrest set off by the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in May 2020 — sought to downplay a chapter of his presidency that garnered widespread outrage and criticism.

In Charlottesville’s aftermath, Mr. Trump repeatedly drew a moral equivalency between the white supremacists — who brandished swastikas, Confederate flags and “Trump/Pence” signs — and peaceful counterprotesters, asserting that there were “very fine people on both sides.”

Underpinning the Charlottesville gathering of neo-Nazis, antisemites and white supremacists was a racist conspiracy theory, called the great replacement theory, which says that elites, sometimes manipulated by Jews, seek to “replace” and disempower white Americans. The growing prominence of the theory in far-right circles has incited racist terror attacks across the world, including several mass shootings in the United States.

Mr. Biden has in recent months faced protests and opposition to his presidential campaign from Americans who are sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians and angry at the United States for arming Israel in the fighting in Gaza. Mr. Trump’s social media post on Wednesday sought to portray many of these protesters as a riotous mob, while also seeking to stoke protesters’ anger by claiming that Mr. Biden hates the Palestinians.

Some of the campus demonstrations have included hate speech and expressions of support for Hamas, the militant group in Gaza that carried out attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, killing about 1,200 people. In response to those attacks, Israel has waged a war on Hamas in Gaza, killing more than 34,000 people, mostly women and children , according to the Gaza Health Ministry. This week Mr. Biden condemned demonstrations that he said veered into antisemitism, but he also expressed sympathy for the Palestinians.

“I condemn the antisemitic protests,” Mr. Biden told reporters on Monday. “I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians.”

Biden was in Syracuse as Trump’s trial continued in Manhattan.

President Biden was in Syracuse, N.Y., today to promote investments from the CHIPS and Science Act and other economic policies enacted during his administration.

The reliably blue state is again the center of political attention during the 2024 presidential campaign, after Mr. Biden and former President Donald J. Trump crossed paths last month . But it is the first time that Mr. Biden has traveled to the state during the felony criminal trial of Mr. Trump, his Republican rival.

Mr. Trump’s trial in a Manhattan courthouse was in recess on Wednesday, and will pick back up today — most likely unfolding as Mr. Biden gives his speech in upstate New York, 250 miles away. Mr. Trump made a brief campaign stop early in the morning at a construction site in Manhattan.

It is a dynamic that will continue for at least several more weeks: While Mr. Biden campaigns across the country, Mr. Trump has often been in the Manhattan courtroom.

Mr. Trump has tried to make campaign stops outside of the courtroom, as he did Thursday morning, and on the weekends. But a rally that he had scheduled in North Carolina last weekend was called off because of weather.

And Mr. Trump’s legal troubles have only grown in recent days. On Wednesday, Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mark Meadows and a number of other Trump allies were indicted in Arizona for their role in a fake elector scheme in 2020 that sought to overturn the results of the election in that state. The indictment includes conspiracy, fraud and forgery charges, related to efforts by the defendants to change the 2020 election results.

Mr. Trump was also named an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.

On Wednesday evening, Mr. Trump weighed in on the growing pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, distorting the mostly peaceful demonstrations as “riots” while downplaying the violence at a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., saying that “Charlottesville is like a ‘peanut’” in comparison to the current student protests.

Mr. Trump, in the same social media post, accused Mr. Biden of hating Israel and Jewish people, even as Mr. Biden reaffirmed his commitment to Israel as “ironclad.” Mr. Trump has made similar accusations against Jews who vote for Democrats, saying that they hate Israel and their religion.

Trump makes a campaign stop in Manhattan before his trial resumes.

Hours before he was set to return to the courthouse for his criminal trial in Manhattan , former President Donald J. Trump started Thursday morning by visiting a construction site in a campaign stop that exemplified the balancing act required for a candidate who is also a criminal defendant.

In the shadow of what will eventually be the 70-story headquarters of one of the nation’s biggest banks, Mr. Trump shook hands with union workers in a visit meant to highlight his support from working-class voters and draw attention to his criticism of President Biden’s economic policies.

His warm reception — a cheering crowd of roughly 100 people gathered behind him, chanting “we want Trump” — marked a stark contrast from the sober environment of the courthouse where Mr. Trump has spent most weekdays since his trial began last week, and where his comments have largely been limited to addressing reporters in the hallway during breaks.

Mr. Trump has not held a rally since just before the trial began, in part because a planned event in North Carolina last weekend was canceled because of weather. But his visit to the construction site typifies how his campaign is using retail stops in New York, a left-leaning state not expected to be in play in November, to help broadcast his national message.

“I have a lot of support here,” Mr. Trump said, as roughly two dozen workers clambered up scaffolding and equipment to catch a glimpse of him. Among those in the crowd were members of the Teamsters union, whose endorsement Mr. Trump has been courting.

The trip to the construction site kicks off what will be a significant day in Mr. Trump’s legal battles. In Manhattan, where Mr. Trump is accused of falsifying business records, David Pecker, the former publisher of The National Enquirer, is expected to return to the stand and detail the hush-money payment at the center of his case. Asked by reporters, Mr. Trump said that Mr. Pecker had been “very nice” and called him a “nice guy.”

In Washington, the Supreme Court will consider Mr. Trump’s argument that he is immune from prosecution on federal charges that he plotted to subvert the 2020 election. Mr. Trump, who will likely be in the Manhattan courtroom during the oral arguments before the Supreme Court, repeated an argument he has been making for months that “a president has to have immunity, otherwise you just have a ceremonial president.”

Mr. Trump’s appeal to working-class voters was key to his victory in 2016, and as he tries to return to the White House, he has been eager to win the support of rank-and-file union members and to drive a wedge between them and labor leaders who have long favored Democrats.

In January, Mr. Trump met with the Teamsters union’s executive board and said he believed he had a “good shot” at securing the influential union’s endorsement. The union endorsed Mr. Biden in 2020, and its leaders met with the president last month.

Mr. Biden has for years touted his allegiance to unions. On Wednesday he received the endorsement of the North America’s Building Trades Unions, an umbrella group whose leaders pointed to Mr. Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure package.

Jason Miller, a senior Trump campaign adviser, said that Thursday’s visit had been “on the books for some time” and was part of the campaign’s larger strategy to contend with the scheduling challenges posed by the Manhattan trial.

“Since the Biden Trials are an attempt to keep us off the campaign trail, we’ll bring the campaign trail to us,” he said. Mr. Trump has said without citing evidence that the charges are part of an “election interference” scheme orchestrated by Mr. Biden.
