Hey From CNN, I'm Paola Ortiz with the 5 Things you need to know for Friday, May 3rd.

Hope Hicks, once a campaign press secretary for former President Donald Trump, is now off the stand in his criminal hush money trial. She testified about her time with Trump's 2016 campaign, including the infamous Access Hollywood tape scandal and the fallout from his alleged affairs with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, both of which Trump denies. CNN's Kristen Holmes explains Hicks role as a witness.

It's not necessarily linking anything together for the case, but just what exactly was happening in the background there, particularly what happened after that Access Hollywood tape? Because there's a lot of us, remember. Yes, there was a lot of talk about whether or not this was going to end Donald Trump's political career, but Donald Trump himself came out with this kind of air of confidence. And as we know, it did not end his political career.

As a reminder, Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records. The former president has pleaded not guilty. CIA director Bill Burns is in Cairo for negotiations for a cease fire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, according to a person familiar with the matter. Egypt's new proposal calls for the release of as many as 33 hostages kidnaped from Israel in exchange for a pause in hostilities in Gaza. Meanwhile, the body of an Israeli man thought to have been a hostage held in Gaza has been found in Israeli territory. In a statement, Israeli officials said they had informed family members of Eliakim Liberman that he had been, quote, murdered in the terrorist attack led by the terrorist organization Hamas on October 7th. Separately, a Palestinian prisoners group said a prominent surgeon in Gaza has died in an Israeli prison after being held for more than four months. The group said Adnan Al his death is part of a, quote, systematic targeting of healthcare workers. CNN has reached out to Israel's military for comment. Tomorrow marks 54 years since the Kent State massacre, where four students were shot and killed by Ohio National Guard during student protests against the Vietnam War. Nine other students were injured that day, including Roseann Canfora's Brother. Canfora spoke to CNN about the importance of commemorating the events during Israel's war in Gaza, with students on campuses across the country protesting.

It was 54 years ago, and we have come back to our campus every year since. So it's not surprising to see that students across the country are doing precisely what we did 54 years ago, and that is that only dream of a better world, but find our place in making it a better world. And so we are watching with interest the growing unrest on college campuses as they wrestle with the complex problem of atrocities in the Middle East being done in our name.

People are resorting to consuming grass, peanut shells and if assistance doesn't reach them soon, we risk witnessing widespread starvation and death in Darfur and across other conflict areas in Sudan.

That was Leni Kinzli. She's the World Food Program spokesperson in Sudan. She's warning the world of the extremely dire situation taking place on the ground in western Sudan. The U.N. also warning the world that the escalating conflict in Sudan will endanger food, assistance and shelter for hundreds of thousands of people. The African country has been in the midst of war since April of last year, when fighting broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. According to the U.N. office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, more than 8 million people have been displaced since the war began, including more than 4 million children.

After the break. Crimes, bribes and foreign ties in Congress.

Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas has been charged with accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from a government owned company in Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank. Prosecutors say the Democratic representative and his wife allegedly accepted the bribes on behalf of both foreign entities. Choir, however, says he and his wife are, quote, innocent. The Texas representative has said he will continue his campaign for reelection if convicted. They face up to 20 years in prison on the most serious of charges.
