The Update- April 17th

The Update with Brandon Julien

A furious job applicant was in disbelief after he learned during an interview he would be paid $12 an hour for a T.J. Maxx position. The man, whose full name was not disclosed but went by @sobeatmyass, took to social media in front of 362,000 viewers saying he was “not taking that f—king job,” on TikTok. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, fresh from a Manhattan courtroom, Donald Trump visited a Harlem bodega where a man was stabbed to death, a stark pivot for the former president as he juggles being a criminal defendant and the Republican challenger intent on blaming President Biden for crime. In Queens, the NYPD clashed with migrant vendors and confiscated their apparently stolen merchandise on a troubled Jackson Heights block known for its illicit open-air market and hookers on the prowl. And Senator Bob Menendez may seek exoneration at his May bribery trial by blaming his wife, saying she kept him in the dark about anything that could be illegal about her dealings with New Jersey businessmen, according to court papers that were unsealed.
