(West Palm Beach, FL) — The Justice Department is revealing why prosecutors applied for a search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s Florida home. They did so after receiving evidence of a “likely” effort to hide classified documents in defiance of a grand jury subpoena. The DOJ made that argument in a Tuesday night filing in its response to Trump’s request for an independent third party, or a so-called special master. That individual would review documents and papers FBI agents seized when they executed a search warrant earlier this month. Trump has until Wednesday evening to respond to the government’s filing.

In the DMV there has been at least one shooting everyday this summer…many of them deadly. Even as politicians and law enforcement scramble to curb the rising tide of gun violence. It appears that it has had little effect. What needs to be done? What can be done? We’ve brought in community activists to share their thoughts.
(Ashburn, VA) — Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson, Jr., is back in the team’s facility after being shot. The Commanders posted video on Twitter of him greeting team personnel including head coach Ron Rivera. Police say Robinson was shot twice in his lower body during a robbery or carjacking Sunday and suffered non-life threatening injuries. Rivera has said it’s possible Robinson could still play later in the season.
Today is the first day of school for nine school systems in the DMV, but Alexandria City Public Schools already has a week under its belt.

(Ashburn, VA) — The head coach of the Washington Commanders says a running back who was shot is “in a really good place.” That update came from Ron Rivera after Brian Robinson was shot during an attempted carjacking or robbery in Washington, DC. Rivera added it’s only “a matter of time” before Robinson gets out of the hospital. Robinson posted on Instagram that surgery went well and he’s thankful for all the prayers. Rivera also didn’t put a timeline on Robinson returning to the team. The Commanders host the Jacksonville Jaguars in week one on September 11th.

(Los Angeles, CA) — Boxing legend George Foreman is denying accusations of sexual abuse and rape dating back to the 1970s. Two women have filed lawsuits in a Los Angeles Court claiming the former heavyweight champion abused them as children.

Police are looking for suspects.
(Washington, DC) — President Biden is canceling some federal student loan debt. Speaking at the White House, Biden noted college costs have gone up significantly in recent years. He said student loans have led to “unsustainable debt” for too many Americans. The forgiveness offers ten-thousand dollars of debt relief for those earning less than 125-thousand dollars per year.
Those who went to college on low-income Pell Grants qualify for 20-thousand dollars of debt relief on federal student loans. Biden is also extending the pause on federal student loan payments through the end of the year. He noted this will be the final pause in the payments, first implemented due to the COVID economic crisis.

Seventeen years ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. It was particularly damaging to the Black community there. Most impacted may have been the children. “Katrina Babies”, a new documentary gives voice to those children, now adults, about what happened then and how they are still impacted by the aftermath of the storm.

Prosecutors in Georgia say two officers accused of murdering a Black man during a traffic stop in 2020 had reasonable cause. Rayshard Brooks fell asleep in the drive thru of a Wendy’s in Atlanta. When officers arrived, the situation led to Brooks resisting arrest, which resulted in Officer Garrett Rolfe shooting and killing Brooks. Prosecutor Pete Skandalakis said Officer Rolfe and Officer Devin Brosnan acted in the best way they could and were protecting themselves from harm. Skandalakis said the decision to not charge the officers is “the right one.”
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A former Louisville police detective who helped write the warrant that led to the deadly police raid at Breonna Taylor’s apartment has pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge.
Federal investigators said Kelly Goodlett added a false line to the warrant and later conspired with another detective to create a cover story when Taylor’s March 13, 2020, shooting death by police began gaining national attention.
Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was shot to death by officers who knocked down her door while executing a drug search warrant. Taylor’s boyfriend fired a shot that hit one of the officers as they came through the door and they returned fire, striking Taylor multiple times.
Goodlett, 35, appeared in a federal courtroom in Louisville on Tuesday afternoon and admitted to conspiring with another Louisville police officer to falsify the warrant.

(Germantown, MD) — The slow and tedious process of recounting the ballots in the Montgomery County Primary for County Executive continues. While a slim majority separates Incumbent Democrat Marc Elrich from his Democratic challenger David Blair, the process started over the weekend at the Germantown Community Center gym. The first day of the recount turned up a possible mistake which is expected to slow the recount down. Elrich’s 42 vote lead has been narrowed to 35 votes in the recount. The weekend problem centers on placing counted ballots in an incorrect pile of ballots. Election officials say they do not believe the incident was intentional.

(Cleveland, OH) — The NFL and its players association are in agreement on an eleven-game suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. He was suspended for six games by a retired judge for violations of the NFL personal conduct policy related to sexual misconduct or assault allegations made by many women. He’ll be fined five-million-dollars for violating the league’s policy on top of the eleven games he’ll be forced to sit out. This comes after Watson reportedly settled with 23 of the women bringing allegations against him in recent months. The star QB will be eligible to return during week 13 against his former team, the Houston Texans.

You’re simply just “there.” How did you get to this point and what can employers do to motivate such workers?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden signed Democrats’ landmark climate change and health care bill into law on Tuesday, delivering what he has called the “final piece” of his pared-down domestic agenda, as he aims to boost his party’s standing with voters less than three months before the midterm elections.
The legislation includes the most substantial federal investment in history to fight climate change — some $375 billion over the decade — and would cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 out-of-pocket annually for Medicare recipients. It also would help an estimated 13 million Americans pay for health care insurance by extending subsidies provided during the coronavirus pandemic.
The measure is paid for by new taxes on large companies and stepped-up IRS enforcement of wealthy individuals and entities, with additional funds going to reduce the federal deficit.
In a triumphant signing event at the White House, Biden pointed to the law as proof that democracy — no matter how long or messy the process — can still deliver for voters in America as he road-tested a line he will likely repeat later this fall ahead of the midterms: “The American people won, and the special interests lost.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI recovered documents that were labeled “top secret” from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, according to court papers released Friday after a federal judge unsealed the warrant that authorized the unprecedented search this week.
A property receipt unsealed by the court shows FBI agents took 11 sets of classified records from the estate during a search on Monday.
The seized records include some that were marked classified as top secret and also “sensitive compartmented information,” a special category meant to protect the nation’s most important secrets and those that if revealed publicly would harm U.S. interests. The court records did not provide specific details about the documents or what information they might contain.
The warrant details that federal agents were investigating potential violations of three different federal laws, including one that governs gathering, transmitting or losing defense information under the Espionage Act. The other statutes address the concealment, mutilation or removal of records and the destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations.
(New York, NY) — Former President Trump is pleading the Fifth in a probe carried out by the New York Attorney General. He refused to answer questions at a deposition in New York City as part of a civil investigation into his business. In a statement, Trump said he once asked why people would plead the Fifth if they’re innocent, but says he now understands. The New York A-G is looking into whether the Trump Organization improperly reported real estate assets. This comes two days after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in search of White House documents he allegedly took when leaving office.
(Columbia, MD) — Howard County Police are investigating a series of flyers that were found in two communities and appear racist in nature.

Ball said incidents of hate and discrimination will not be tolerated in Howard County as officials work to investigate the source of the racist flyers.

(Washington, DC) — The D.C. region continues to bake in the hot temperatures and humidity prompting officials to declare a Heat Advisory until this evening. Weather forecasters say parts of the region will experience temperatures in the upper 90s, and combined with the humidity, it will feel more like 105 degrees. Health officials are once again advising residents to stay indoors as a way to beat the heat. Officials say if you have to go out, you should get out the door early or later in the day once the sun begins to set. Residents are being asked to check in on elderly neighbors to make sure they are coping with the heat and make certain they are keeping cool with air-conditioning or a fan. Officials caution if you are using a fan, windows should remain open in order to help circulate air in the home.
A grand jury in Mississippi has declined to indict the white woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Black teenager Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago, despite revelations about an unserved arrest warrant and an unpublished memoir by the woman, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Carolyn Bryant Donham
After hearing more than seven hours of testimony from investigators and witnesses, a Leflore County grand jury last week determined there was insufficient evidence to indict Carolyn Bryant Donham on charges of kidnapping and manslaughter.
It is now increasingly unlikely that Donham, who is now in her 80s, will ever be prosecuted for her role in the events that led to Till’s lynching.
The Rev. Wheeler Parker, Jr., Emmett Till’s cousin and the last living witness to Till’s 1955 abduction, said Tuesday’s news is unfortunate, but predictable.
“The fact remains that the people who abducted, tortured, and murdered Emmett did so in plain sight, and our American justice system was and continues to be set up in such a way that they could not be brought to justice for their heinous crimes,” Parker said.
An email and voicemail seeking comment from Donham’s son Tom Bryant weren’t immediately returned Tuesday.
A group searching the basement of the Leflore County Courthouse in June discovered the unserved arrest warrant charging Donham, then-husband Roy Bryant and brother-in-law J.W. Milam in Till’s abduction in 1955. While the men were arrested and acquitted on murder charges in Till’s subsequent slaying, Donham, 21 at the time and 87 now, was never taken into custody.
In an unpublished memoir obtained last month by The Associated Press, Donham said she was unaware of what would happen to the 14-year-old Till, who lived in Chicago and was visiting relatives in Mississippi when he was abducted, killed and tossed in a river. She accused him of making lewd comments and grabbing her while she worked alone at a family store in Money, Mississippi.
Emmett Till
Donham said in the manuscript that the men brought Till to her in the middle of the night for identification but that she tried to help the youth by denying it was him. Despite being abducted at gunpoint from a family home by Roy Bryant and Milam, the 14-year-old identified himself to the men, she claimed.
Till’s battered, disfigured body was found days later in a river, where it was weighted down with a heavy metal fan. The decision by his mother, Mamie Till Mobley, to open Till’s casket for his funeral in Chicago demonstrated the horror of what had happened and added fuel to the civil rights movement.
The U.S. Justice Department last year said it was ending its investigation into Till’s killing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump said in a lengthy statement Monday that the FBI was conducting a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate and asserted that agents had broken open a safe. A person familiar with the matter said the action was related to a probe of whether Trump had taken classified records from his White House tenure to his Florida residence.
The action, which the FBI and Justice Department did not immediately confirm, marks a dramatic escalation in law enforcement scrutiny of Trump and comes as he has been laying the groundwork to make another bid for president. Though a search warrant does not suggest that criminal charges are near or even expected, federal officials looking to obtain one must demonstrate that they have probable cause that a crime occurred.
“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said in his statement.
He added: “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”
Justice Department spokesperson Dena Iverson declined to comment on the search, including about whether Attorney General Merrick Garland had personally authorized the search.
A person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said the search happened earlier Monday and agents were also looking to see if Trump had additional presidential records or any classified documents at the estate.
The Justice Department has been investigating the presence of classified records inside 15 boxes that were retrieved from Mar-a-Lago by the National Archives and Records Administration earlier this year. The Archives then referred the matter to the Justice Department.
Federal law bars the removal of classified documents to unauthorized locations, though it is possible that Trump could try to argue that, as president, he was the ultimate declassification authority.
There are multiple statutes governing classified information, including a law punishable by up to five years in prison that makes it a crime to remove such records and retain them at an unauthorized location. Another statute makes it a crime to mishandle classified records either intentionally or in a grossly negligent manner.
The probe is hardly the only legal headache confronting Trump. A separate investigation related to efforts by Trump and his allies to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol has also been intensifying in Washington.
And a district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia is investigation whether Trump and his close associates sought to interfere in that state’s election, which was won by Democrat Joe Biden.
Just last week, the Biden Administration declared the Monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency in the U.S. Leaders from cities big and small are calling for more vaccine to combat the growing rate of infection.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The white father and son convicted of murder in Ahmaud Arbery’s fatal shooting after they chased the 25-year-old Black man through a Georgia neighborhood were sentenced Monday to life in prison for committing a federal hate crime.
U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood handed down the sentences against Travis McMichael, 36, and his father, Greg McMichael, 66, reiterating the gravity of the killing that shattered their Brunswick community and became part of a larger national reckoning over racial injustice.
“A young man is dead. Ahmaud Arbery will be forever 25. And what happened a jury found happened because he’s Black,” Wood said.
Greg McMichael, (L), Travis McMichael (R)
Both men were previously sentenced to life without parole in state court for Arbery’s murder and had asked the judge to divert them to a federal prison to serve their sentences, saying they were worried about their safety in the state prison system. Wood declined their request.
In February, a federal jury convicted the McMichaels and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan of violating Arbery’s civil rights, concluding they targeted him because of his race. All three were also found guilty of attempted kidnapping, and the McMichaels were convicted of using guns in the commission of a violent crime.
The McMichaels armed themselves with guns and used a pickup truck to chase Arbery after he ran past their home on Feb. 23, 2020. Bryan joined the pursuit in his own truck and recorded cellphone video of Travis McMichael shooting Arbery with a shotgun. The McMichaels told police they suspected Arbery was a burglar, but investigators determined he was unarmed and had committed no crimes.
