In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we have the latest on arrests made at Columbia University on Thursday, and day 3 of Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial in New York City.

NYPD officers in riot gear moved Thursday afternoon to clear the tent encampment on the lawn of Columbia University, arresting over 100 pro-Palestinian protesters.

The university has been a hotbed of protests since the start of the Israel-Hamas War. The mass of arrests comes a day after the president of the university faced questions from lawmakers on Capitol Hill over claims of antisemitism on campus.

Eyewitness News reporter Jim Dolan is in Morningside Heights with the more.

Also in New York City, after day 3 of Trump's criminal trial started with two seated jurors removed, it ended with the case moving forward with all 12 jurors and one alternate now seated.

Lawyers in the trial now need to select five alternates to round out the panel that will decide the first-ever criminal case against a former U.S. president.
