Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial in NYC could face an unfair playing field based on the jury -- but in terms of who it benefits, it's a crapshoot ... so says Dr. Phil.

The TV personality spoke to "TMZ Live" Friday about the 12 jurors who'll decide DT's fate -- the bios for whom have been released ... including their work backgrounds and their education. As it turns out ... this jury is full of a bunch of smart cookies.

There are two lawyers on the jury ... and Phil says that could both hurt and help Trump and co., depending on how they feel politically. Take a listen ... his analysis is kinda spot-on.

Joe Biden's opening up about his mental health struggles ... saying he once considered taking his own life in one particularly low moment -- but, his kids saved him.

POTUS sat down for an interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show Friday, and spoke about his first wife Neilia and their infant daughter dying in a 1972 car crash ... admitting he briefly thought about suicide.

Biden says a person doesn't have to be crazy to consider this ... adding he even thought about jumping off the Delaware Memorial Bridge ... but ultimately decided against it because he had two other children, Beau and Hunter, to think about.

Donald Trump tiene otro problema con su juicio penal en Nueva York, además del hecho de estar siendo procesado y obligado a asistir todos los días, el ex mandatario piensa que el palacio de justicia es aparentemente muy helado.

El ex Presidente regresó a la Gran Manzana el viernes para otro día de argumentos y testimonios de los testigos, mientras la Oficina del Fiscal del Distrito de Manhattan va tras él por sus presuntos pagos para silenciar a Stormy Daniels, y la última queja de Donald Trump es que las temperaturas son demasiado bajas.

Trump habló con la prensa afuera de la sala del tribunal antes de entrar y dejó muy claro que encuentra el espacio jodidamente frío, lo que parece pensar que es a propósito.

Donald Trump has another problem with his criminal trial in NYC -- aside from the fact he's being prosecuted and forced to attend daily ... the courthouse is apparently freezing!

The ex-Prez was back in the Big Apple Friday for another day of arguments and witness testimony as the Manhattan D.A.'s Office goes after him over his alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels ... and DT's latest gripe is all about the low temperature.

He talked to the press outside of the courtroom before heading in, and Don made it very clear he finds the space to be pretty damn cold ... which he seems to think is on purpose.

Kim Kardashian volvió a la Casa Blanca para abogar por la reforma a la justicia penal, solo que esta vez se reunió con el equipo de Biden, demostrando que ella es leal a la causa y no a ningún partido político.

La estrella de los realities, que ha utilizado regularmente su plataforma para abogar por esto, se reunió con la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris el jueves en una mesa redonda. Esto, luego de que el Presidente concediera la clemencia a 16 personas previamente condenadas por delitos de drogas no violentos.

Al hablar con la vicepresidenta y algunas de las personas indultadas, dejó claro que su única agenda era abogar por una reforma penitenciaria, no importa quién esté en la oficina, y agradeció a los sujetos recientemente liberados por compartir sus historias y poner foco en el tema.

Kim Kardashian went back to the White House to advocate for criminal justice reform -- only here, it was with Biden's camp ... proving she's loyal to the cause, and not to any party.

The reality star -- who has regularly used her platform to advocate for this -- met with Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday for a roundtable discussion after POTUS granted clemency to 16 people previously convicted of nonviolent drug offenses.

As Kim spoke with the Veep and some of the pardoned individuals, she made it clear her only agenda was to advocate for prison reform, no matter who's in office ... and she thanked the recently released subjects for sharing their stories and putting a spotlight on the issue.

La policía de Texas inició una investigación con la ayuda del FBI después de que el alcalde de una pequeña ciudad recibiera un amenazante paquete por correo que incluía una soga.

El alcalde de Arcola, Texas, Fred Burton, de raza negra, recibió el paquete el martes y, según cuenta, contenía una cuerda en forma de lazo, además de una nota en la que se le instaba a retirarse de la carrera por la reelección. La policía dice que se puso en contacto con las autoridades inmediatamente.

El mensaje no podía ser más claro. En este se lee: "¡¡¡Abandona la carrera ahora!!!", lo que el propio Burton describió como una bofetada en la cara cuando lo leyó.

Cops in Texas have launched an investigation with the help of the FBI after a small town's Mayor received a threatening package in the mail ... which included a noose.

Arcola, TX's Mayor Fred Burton -- who's Black -- received the package Tuesday which he says contained a rope fashioned into a noose inside, plus a note urging him to withdraw from his reelection race. Police say he contacted the authorities immediately.

The message couldn't be clearer ... reading "Get out of the race now!!" -- which Burton himself describes as a slap to the face as he read it.

Donald Trump podría ir a la cárcel por el caso de sobornos, pero incluso antes de eso podría ser encerrado por desacato a una orden que lo obliga a guardar silencio, algo para lo que el Servicio Secreto está listo, pero que no anticipa.

Como ya sabrán, Trump está siendo juzgado en Nueva York. Los fiscales están tratando de convencer a un jurado de que el ex Presidente infringió la ley al supuestamente coordinar unos pagos a Stormy Daniels para mantenerla silenciada antes de las elecciones de 2016, algo de lo que Trump se ha declarado inocente.

Aunque técnicamente se enfrentaría a una sentencia máxima de hasta 4 años en prisión si es declarado culpable, nadie espera que eso realmente suceda, especialmente para alguien como Trump, que no tiene historia criminal previa.

Donald Trump may go to jail in his hush money case -- but even before that, he may get locked up over a gag order ... something the Secret Service is ready for, but not anticipating.

As you may know, Trump is currently on trial in New York City ... where prosecutors are trying to convince a jury he broke the law by allegedly coordinating payments to Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet ahead of the 2016 election ... something for which he's pled not guilty.

While he's technically facing a maximum sentence of up to 4 years in prison if convicted -- no one really expects that to happen, especially for a first-time offender like Trump.

Kamala Harris' Secret Service team faced a violent threat this week, having to defend one of their agents ... from one of their own!!!

Secret Service representative Anthony Guglielmi tells TMZ ... at around 9 AM Monday, a U.S. Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews started to display signs his colleagues found distressing.

We're told they removed the agent from the assignment and summoned medical personnel. The Veep wasn't around when the incident occurred, and it did not affect her takeoff.

LAX airline workers got an unexpected earful from a woman who went on a vicious tirade ... only for her to realize she was screaming at the wrong terminal the entire time.

Check out this video TMZ shot Wednesday at Los Angeles's premiere airport ... where this lady had an absolutely epic meltdown that was laced with expletives and demands to get Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on the horn. Yep, it was one of those days.

The woman was fuming after Delta apparently rebooked her flight for the next day because she missed her initial one ... and she was unloading on these employees about it.

El presidente Joe Biden volvió a meter las patas con el teleprompter mientras hablaba en una conferencia el miércoles y no es la primera vez que comete una torpeza en un discurso.

Joe Biden estuvo en la conferencia anual de los Sindicatos de la Construcción de Norteamérica, donde recibió el apoyo de la principal organización sindical para su candidatura a la reelección. Sin embargo, el gran apoyo fue eclipsado por un momento durante su discurso, que se está volviendo muy viral en línea.

Mientras se dirigía a la multitud, Biden le pidió a los asistentes que imaginaran que podría surgir de otros 4 años de su administración. Quienes escribieron el discurso claramente querían que se detuviera allí, porque luego pronunció la palabra "Pausa" que estaba a continuación, mientras la multitud coreaba la frase "4 años más".

President Joe Biden had yet another teleprompter gaffe while speaking at a conference Wednesday ... and it's not the first time the prez fumbled a speech, far from it.

JB stopped by the annual conference for North America’s Building Trades Unions, where he received an endorsement from the major labor organization for his re-election bid. However, the big endorsement has been overshadowed by one moment from his speech at the conference -- which is currently making the rounds online.

Watch ... while addressing the crowd, Biden asks attendees to imagine what could come from another 4 years of his administration. His speechwriters clearly wanted him to stop there ... as he then says the word "Pause" just as the crowd chants "4 more years."

El Presidente Biden acaba de firmar un proyecto de ley que prohíbe TikTok en Estados Unidos (a menos que se venda a una empresa con sede en EE.UU.), pero su actual CEO dice que van a luchar como el infierno y promete que van a ir a la corte.

El mandamás de TikTok Shou Zi Chew publicó un video el miércoles, luego de que Joe pusiera su firma a la legislación aprobada por la Cámara de Representantes y el Senado, y que básicamente hace que TikTok sea ilegal en Estados mientras esté bajo control chino.

El empresario dice que él y sus socios van a desafiar esta nueva ley y confía en que TikTok ganará, afirmando que la Constitución está del lado de la empresa. Chew y compañía dicen que van a citar los derechos de la Primera Enmienda para defender su posición.
