NTD News Today Full Broadcast (April 1)

Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh received another prison sentence on April 1—this time in federal court, where a judge sentenced him to 40 years for stealing from his clients and his law firm. The 55-year-old disbarred attorney is already serving a life sentence without parole in a state prison for killing his wife and son.

President Joe Biden declared March 31, 2024—the day on which Easter Sunday fell this year—as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” sparking uproar among conservatives and eliciting scathing criticism from former President Donald Trump, who demanded that President Biden apologize to the millions of Christians in the United States.

Most fast-food workers in California will be paid at least $20 an hour beginning Monday, when a new law is scheduled to kick in. The law will give higher pay to a historically low-paying profession—but also threatens to raise prices and cut jobs in a state already known for its high cost of living.
