'Who did the body?' Brad Pitt's GQ magazine cover is 'very upsetting' to some people
The internet is flipping out over the latest cover of GQ Magazine, featuring Brad Pitt — or at least a figure that somewhat resembles him.
On Wednesday, GQ released its profile of the veteran movie star, who appears to be floating in a dark pool of flowers on the cover, his face frozen in a blank stare. The actor spoke with the publication to promote his forthcoming action film, "Bullet Train," which opens in August.
Social media reactions to the cover photo were not kind, to put it lightly. Some compared the actor's pale visage to that of a corpse. More than one person described the experience of encountering the photo on their Twitter timeline as a "jump scare." Another likened the image to a "wax figure."
Overall, people seemed to be of the opinion that GQ achieved a stunning feat by managing to make Pitt — someone who is famous for looking good — look anything but.
"Very upsetting that GQ killed Brad Pitt and displayed his corpse on their cover," tweeted Scott Russell, music editor at Paste Magazine.
"Whoever picked that cover for brad pitt's GQ issue is getting fireddddd," wrote @nicholasdante_.
"Everyone asking who did the body on that Brad Pitt GQ cover," tweeted @SoloChills.
whoever picked that cover for brad pitt's GQ issue is getting fireddddd

On Instagram, photographer Elizaveta Porodina, who shot the cover, said it was "a really surreal feeling to see a face that you have known so well throughout your whole life, reflected in the images of your own making.
"It's an even more surreal feeling to have Brad Pitt collaborating on your vision, going full in on any challenge with charm and humour, understanding the images to the core so quickly — and adding something of his own, something special — that would further enrich the story."
In his sprawling interview with the fashion magazine, Pitt discusses everything from his production company and film career to his dreams and COVID-19 pandemic hobbies. One particularly wild excerpt from the conversation involves a French vineyard at the center of a legal battle between Pitt and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
Earlier this year, Pitt filed a lawsuit accusing Jolie of illegally selling to a Russian vodka billionaire her shares in the estate where the former celebrity couple wed in 2014. But that's not all: The Oscar winner told GQ that someone tricked him a few years back into believing that millions of dollars' worth of gold was buried somewhere on the property.
“I got obsessed,” Pitt said. “For a year, this was all I could think about, just the excitement of it all. ... Maybe it has something to do with where I grew up, because in the Ozark Mountains there were always stories of hidden caches of gold.”
After failing to find any buried treasure, Pitt admitted the search was "pretty foolish in the end," but "exciting" nonetheless.
"A lot of people talking about how f— up Brad Pitt looks in that GQ cover but my fav part is in the article when he says a conman convinced him to spend a year digging up his French mansion hunting for millions of dollars in gold taken from the Levant during the Crusades," tweeted @aniceburrito.
Of course, Pitt also talked about his latest acting project, "Bullet Train," directed by his former stunt double, David Leitch. Among the supporting cast of the transportation thriller are Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Zazie Beetz, Karen Fukuhara, Michael Shannon, Brian Tyree Henry and Bad Bunny.
Even with a star-studded new movie coming soon to theaters, Pitt told GQ he's on the "last leg" of his acting career.
"This [is the] last semester or trimester," he said. "What is this section gonna be? And how do I wanna design that?”

Jorge Perez found not guilty in first degree felony murder case
Published: Jun. 23, 2022 at 7:11 PM CDT|Updated: 12 minutes ago
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Jorge Perez has been found not guilty on the charges of first degree felony murder and attempted armed robbery in the 2019 shooting death of Edward Ross.
Perez, 22, is charged in connection along with four others in the shooting and killing of Edward Ross, 30, at his dad’s home in Panama City Beach on December 29th, 2019, after state attorneys said it was a robbery gone wrong.
During the second day of the trial, Jorge Perez himself testified to say that he wasn’t present on December 29th and his phone was stolen.
Perez is the second defendant to face trial in the case. A jury found Abel Ortiz guilty of first-degree murder and attempted robbery back in April.

Palm Industrial Oil Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2022-2028
The biodiesel industry is expected to become a major source of revenue for industrial oil manufacturers in the next few years due to its reduced impact on the environment.

Man who ran over and killed schoolboy described himself as a ‘monster’ – inquest
A paranoid schizophrenic who drove his car into a crowd of children outside a school, killing a 12-year-old-boy, had recorded himself on a dictaphone saying ‘I’m an animal, I’m a monster and I will kill your children’, an inquest heard.
The voice recording device, found in Terence Glover’s car after he hit and killed Harley Watson in 2019, contained “horrendous, graphic and repetitive” content which ran to 107 pages once transcribed, the lawyer for Harley’s family told Monday’s hearing in Chelmsford.
Glover had also said in previous 999 calls to police “he might run some school children over”, Essex’s senior coroner Lincoln Brookes said.
The coroner said Harley was with friends when he was struck by a car which was driven onto the pavement outside Debden Park High School in Loughton , Essex after 3pm on December 2, 2019.
Harley was pronounced dead in hospital at 4.43pm the same afternoon.
Glover admitted to the manslaughter by diminished responsibility of Harley Watson at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
He also admitted to the attempted murders of one adult and nine children who were also injured in the attack.
He was sentenced last year, while aged 52, to be detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act.
Mr Brookes said: “I felt there was good reason to have an inquest because concerns have been raised about not just what happened on December 2, how it actually happened, but how it came to that in the first place.
I’m an animal, I’m a monster and I will kill your children
Dictaphone message“Whether arms of the state and government, whether their involvement in some way either by acts or their mistake or omission in some way caused or contributed to the death.
“There are concerns raised by the family about his contact for example with the police.
“You will hear that in fact he had been in contact with the police for some considerable time, not just that year.
He said Glover said he “felt persecuted by neighbours, their children or others” and made 999 calls to police, some of them “abusive”.
“It seems that he felt so seriously about it that if they didn’t act he might do something serious, in particular he mentioned several times he might run some school children over,” Mr Brookes said.
Detective Superintendent Rob Kirby, of Essex Police , said it was “established quite quickly” that Glover’s attack “was a deliberate act, by speaking to witnesses at the scene”.
Glover was arrested hours later in his car in a pub car park several miles away after a police appeal.
A dictaphone was found in his car when he was arrested
Jesse Nicholls, for Harley’s mother Jo Fricker, said a transcript of Glover’s recordings on the device ran to 107 pages and one said: “I’m an animal, I’m a monster and I will kill your children”.
In a statement read by the lawyer, Ms Fricker said: “I miss my boy beyond words and I would give my life for Harley to have his.”
The inquest, being heard by a jury and due to last seven days, continues. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642299489410/man-who-ran-over-and-killed-schoolboy-described-himself-as-a-monster-inquest | 2022-06-24T00:33:56Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642299489410/man-who-ran-over-and-killed-schoolboy-described-himself-as-a-monster-inquest | true | 10 |

On a few occasions, Rod Brown has been fortunate enough to see his Saint John Seadogs battle it out for the Memorial Cup, but this year, the season ticket holder is happy to have them back home.
“This is actually my third Memorial Cup because I’ve seen them play in Mississauga, I’ve seen them win it in Mississauga, and I’ve also seen them play in Windsor, Ont., where unfortunately they didn’t do as well,” said Brown, a Saint John resident.”
Brown is one of the many fans that have brought newfound energy to Uptown Saint John in recent days for the Memorial Cup.
Fans from across the nation have found themselves in the Port City for hockey. But, it’s the host city and its endless list of Memorial Cup events that have stolen the show.
Yoland Gilbert of Montreal came to support his Shawinigan Cataractes, and though he hasn’t had too much time to explore, first impressions are positive.
“Other than the game, the hockey games, no not yet, but right now I’m walking to Area 506 to visit the place to see how it looks — it looks great,” he said, while proudly donning a Cataractes hat.
Since Saint John earned the right to call itself the host of the 2022 Memorial Cup, organizers have made it known it would be about more than hockey.

Events beginning after the trophy was extravagantly delivered by helicopter have included activities, concerts and speakers.
Much of the action — outside of the games — has taken place at the recently-opened Area 506 Waterfront Container Village, where musicians have entertained fans before puck drop.
“We’ve seen lineups waiting to get in to see our performances that we have lined all the way down graffiti alley here in the waterfront container village, and that’s been a really great thing to see where people are really excited to get out, enjoy the weather, enjoy the sun and enjoy the Saint John hospitality,” said Ray Gracewood, a local event manager for the Memorial Cup and the founder of Area 506.
Even fans unable to attend the game have been able to watch the action from the screen in the container village concert venue, said Gracewood.
When asked about what’s made Saint John successful in its hosting duties, Gracewood credited their approach as a “multi-faceted event” that’s used all the region’s strengths to provide something for everyone.
Gracewood believes the tournament has not only aided to re-establish Saint John as a welcoming city, but it’s helped to showcase his venue.
“The feedback of the uniqueness of the venue and how cool it is, not just in the region, but right across Canada, is a great indicator of the reputation that we’re about to build,” Gracewood said.
Busy uptown streets have been a bonus for local businesses as well, who are thrilled by the opportunity to welcome residents and tourists.
David Duplisea is the CEO of the Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce.
“We still see every venue is crowded, but estimates are upwards of $10 million, which is significant economic impact for our region,” Duplisea said, adding those figures are based on how Halifax fared when it hosted the tournament.
The Memorial Cup is a catalyst, Duplisea said, which puts Saint John on the national stage, opening the door for future events of significance.
“Success breeds success and attention and attraction breeds attention and attraction, so the more successful events we have such as this, the easier it becomes to attract more of them as well.”
However, for many in Sea Dogs Nation, it’s all for not if the team can’t put another championship banner in the rafters. They will continue on their quest for the Memorial Cup Saturday with a matchup against Shawinigan. | https://globalnews.ca/news/8943658/memorial-cup-new-life-saint-john/ | 2022-06-24T00:38:25Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/8943658/memorial-cup-new-life-saint-john/ | false | 1 |
WASHINGTON — Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, was charged with two misdemeanors related to driving drunk after being arrested in California last month.
According to documents filed with the California Superior Court, Paul Pelosi, 82, faces one count of DUI causing injury and one count of driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% causing injury.
The documents, filed by the District Attorney's Office, say police responded to a crash on a road in Napa County and found Pelosi intoxicated after crashing his Porsche into another man's vehicle. The man, identified only as John Doe, declined medical treatment at the scene, as did Pelosi.
Records indicate both cars sustained major damage in the crash.
He was booked around 11:45 p.m. on the night of May 28 and booked into the Napa County jail in Northern California with two charges related to driving while intoxicated. His bail was set at $5,000. Pelosi was released the next day on bond.
Nancy Pelosi was in Rhode Island over the weekend to deliver a commencement speech at Brown University. She did not mention the arrest in her remarks Sunday.
Paul Pelosi married Nancy in 1963, and has made a conscious effort to remain distanced from his wife's high-profile political career. He is the founder of Financial Leasing Services, an investment firm based out of San Francisco.
Paul and Nancy Pelosi share a home in the city, and she represents the district that encompasses San Francisco.
If convicted, Paul Pelosi faces up to five years of probation, possible jail time and the installation of a blood-alcohol monitoring device in his car.
He is scheduled for arraignment on Aug. 3 at the Napa County Superior Court. | https://www.10tv.com/article/news/nation-world/paul-pelosi-dui-charge/507-7762a8da-9771-4c1b-a113-fcd5134e8fde | 2022-06-24T00:39:55Z | https://www.10tv.com/article/news/nation-world/paul-pelosi-dui-charge/507-7762a8da-9771-4c1b-a113-fcd5134e8fde | false | 15 |
You might normally associate fiery red hair with people of Irish descent, but the unique trait can also be found throughout a number of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
MORE: The Aboriginal Australians: The First Inhabitants Of Australia Were Black People
Africans and people from the Caribbean have also been known to don bright red hair due to a gene mutation in the melanocortin 1 receptor commonly referred to as MC1R. The special gene regulates melanin in skin pigmentation, the eyes, and hair. However, the distinctive trait only occurs in an individual when both parents carry the unique receptive gene. Scientists believe that the distinct gene mutation is more common in climates where there is little to no harmful sun exposure.
According to the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), about 35 percent of people in Ireland and Scotland carry the MC1R receptor and roughly 10 percent have red hair. Globally, only 1 to 2 percent of the population have red hair, which is why it’s quite rare to see Black people with the unique feature, but they do exist.
Migration may have played a role in spreading the unique gene mutation
Barry Starr, a geneticist from Stanford University told Vice that “Red hair carriers in the Caribbean and Africa are for the most part due to migration or gene flow.”
“The last evidence I saw, was that there was a strong selection pressure against changes in the MC1R gene that caused it not to work in regions with a lot of sunlight—think Africa,” Dr. Star explained. “This probably has to do with the pale skin that comes with red hair. This means that even if an MC1R mutation did spontaneously appear previously in African populations, as it did multiple times in Europe, it did not spread and eventually petered out.”
The red hair trait may have developed from historical interactions between Europeans and Africans in the Caribbean in the 1600s. Catholic Irish people were sent to the West Indies as indentured servants during that time period.
“This might also explain why you occasionally see red hair on a black Caribbean person who has two black parents. By chance alone, it might be that they are both carrying a European mutation which has come together in their child,” Dr. George Busby an expert from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, added to the publication.
Additionally, red hair can also occur in Black people as a result of Albinism, a genetic condition that reduces melanin in the skin. The rare trait usually occurs in people who have rufous Albinism, which, in addition to red hair, can cause an individual to have golden or bronze skin as well as blue eyes.

With B.C. wildfires fires only predicted to get worse in the coming years, a panel of University of B.C. experts is calling for a more proactive approach to wildfire management.
After the three worst fire seasons on record occurred over the last five years, learning to live with wildfires should be at the forefront of prevention efforts, the group said in a news release Thursday (June 23).
“This means changing our ways of thinking and recognizing that we should approach wildfire management the same way we approach preparing for other natural disasters like earthquakes or floods—we don’t try to fight them; we proactively plan for the eventuality,” said UBC forestry researcher Lori Daniels.
Planning strategies should include policy that prioritizes risk reduction like prescribed burning, a traditional Indigenous practice.
“We need to consistently and meaningfully support Indigenous-led land stewardship at all levels,” Daniels said. “This includes reintroducing cultural burns to establishing a national Indigenous fire stewardship group in Canada.”
Along with the disruption of Indigenous stewardship, policies of fire suppression and climate change have changed the forests so they burn stronger and hotter.
Since the start of 2022, there have been 170 wildfires in B.C., according to provincial stats.
The panel is recommending more investment from the government to build FireSmart infrastructure. This includes everything from fire-resistant roofing to diversifying landscapes to be less fire-prone.
The researchers caution that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions, but educating yourself can make all the difference.
“We are living in a new era of wildfires, and so we must think about how to co-exist with fire,” Daniels said. | https://www.northislandgazette.com/news/learning-to-live-with-wildfires-should-be-at-core-of-prevention-efforts-experts-urge/ | 2022-06-24T00:43:42Z | https://www.northislandgazette.com/news/learning-to-live-with-wildfires-should-be-at-core-of-prevention-efforts-experts-urge/ | false | 12 |

Below, read the full transcript from the June 23 hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The transcript was produced by CQ.
PANEL MEMBERS: REP. BENNIE THOMPSON (D-MISS.), CHAIRMAN REP. ZOE LOFGREN (D-CALIF.), REP. ADAM SCHIFF (D-CALIF.), REP. PETE AGUILAR (D-CALIF.), REP. STEPHANIE MURPHY (D-FLA.), REP. JAMIE RASKIN (D-MD.), REP. ELAINE LURIA (D-VA.), REP. LIZ CHENEY (R-WYO.)
REP. ADAM KINZINGER (R-ILL.)
BENNIE THOMPSON: The Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol will be in order. Without objection, the chair is authorized to declare the committee in recess at any point. Pursuant to House Deposition Authority Regulation 10, the chair announces the committee's approval to release the deposition material presented during today's hearing.
Good afternoon. In our previous hearings, the Select Committee showed that then President Trump applied pressure at every level of government, from local election workers up to his own vice president, hoping public servants would give in to that pressure and help him steal an election he actually lost. Today we'll tell the story of how the pressure campaign also targeted the federal agency charged with enforcement of our laws, the Department of Justice.
We already covered part of Mr. Trump's effort. We heard from Attorney General Bill Barr tell the story in the committee about the baseless claims Mr. Trump wanted the Justice Department to investigate, and that Mr. Barr viewed those claims as nonsense. Today we'll hear from Jeffrey Rosen, the person Mr. Trump appointed to run the Justice Department after Attorney General Barr resigned.
We'll hear from other senior Justice Department officials also. Together, these public servants resisted Mr. Trump's effort to misuse the Justice Department as part of his plan to hold on to power, and we will show that Trump's demands that the department investigate baseless claims of election fraud continued into January 2021. But Donald Trump didn't just want the Justice Department to investigate.
He wanted the Justice Department to help legitimize his lies, to basically call the election corrupt, to appoint a special counsel to investigate alleged election fraud, to send a letter to six state legislatures urging them to consider altering the election results. And when these and other efforts failed, Donald Trump sought to replace Mr. Rosen, the acting attorney general, with a lawyer who he believed would inappropriately put the full weight of the Justice Department behind the effort to overturn the election.
Let's think about what that means. Wherever you live in the United States, there's probably a local government executive, a mayor, or a county commissioner. There's also an official responsible for enforcing the laws, a district attorney, or local prosecutor. Imagine if your mayor lost a reelection bid, but instead of conceding the race, they picked up the phone, called the district attorney, and said I want you to say this election was stolen.
I want you to tell the Board of Elections not to certify the results. That's essentially what Donald Trump was trying to do with the election for president of the United States. It was a brazen attempt to use the Justice Department to advance the president's personal political agenda. Today my colleague from Illinois, Mr. Kinzinger, and other witnesses will walk through the Select Committees findings on these matters.
But first, I recognize our distinguished vice chair, Ms. Cheney, of Wyoming for any opening statement she'd care to offer.
LIZ CHENEY: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. At this point, our committee has just begun to show America the evidence that we have gathered. There is much more to come, both in our hearings and in our report, but I'd like to take just a moment to put everything we've seen in context. We have already seen how President Trump falsely declared victory on November 3rd, 2020, how he and his team launched a fraudulent media campaign that persuaded tens of millions of Americans that the election was stolen from him.
Donald Trump intentionally ran false ads on television and social media featuring allegations that his advisers and his Justice Department repeatedly told him were untrue. We have also seen how Donald Trump launched a fraudulent fundraising campaign that raised hundreds of millions of dollars, again based on those same false election fraud allegations.
We have seen how President Trump and his allies corruptly attempted to pressure Vice President Pence to refuse to count lawful electoral votes and obstruct Congress's proceedings on January 6th, and how he provoked a violent mob to pursue the vice president and others in our Capitol. We've seen how the president oversaw and personally participated in an effort in multiple states to vilify, threaten, and pressure election officials, and to use false allegations to pressure state legislators to change the outcome of the election.
We've seen how President Trump worked with and directed the Republican National Committee and others to organize an effort to create fake electoral slates and later to transmit those materially false documents to federal officials, again as part of his planning for January 6th. We have seen how President Trump persuaded tens of thousands of his supporters to travel to Washington DC for January 6th. And we will see in far more detail how the president's rally and march to the Capitol were organized and choreographed.
As you can tell, these efforts were not some minor or ad hoc enterprise concocted overnight. Each required planning and coordination. Some required significant funding. All of them were overseen by President Trump, and much more information will be presented soon regarding the president's statements and actions on January 6th. Today, as Chairman Thompson indicated, we turn to yet another element of the president's effort to overturn the 2020 election, this one involving the Department of Justice.
A key focus of our hearing today will be a draft letter that our witnesses here today refused to sign. This letter was written by Mr. Jeff Clark with another Department of Justice lawyer, Ken Klukowski, and the letter was to be sent to the leadership of the Georgia state legislature. Other versions of the letter were intended for other states.
Neither Mr. Clark nor Mr. Klukowski had any evidence of widespread election fraud, but they were quite aware of what Mr. Trump wanted the department to do. Jeff Clark met privately with President Trump and others in the White House and agreed to assist the president without telling the senior leadership of the department who oversaw him.
As you will see, this letter claims that the US Department of Justice's investigations have "Identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple states, including the state of Georgia." In fact, Donald Trump knew this was a lie. The Department of Justice had already informed the president of the United States repeatedly that its investigations had found no fraud sufficient to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The letter also said this. "In light of these developments, the department recommends that the Georgia General Assembly should convene in special session," and consider approving a new slate of electors. And it indicates that a separate "fake" slate of electors supporting Donald Trump has already been transmitted to Washington DC. For those of you who have been watching these hearings, the language of this draft Justice Department letter will sound very familiar.
The text is similar to what we have seen from John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, both of whom were coordinating with President Trump to overturn the 2020 election. When one of our witnesses today, Mr. Donoghue, first saw this draft letter, he wrote this. "This would be a grave step for the department to take, and it could have tremendous constitutional, political, and social ramifications for the country." This committee agrees.
Had this letter been released on official Department of Justice letterhead, it would have falsely informed all Americans, including those who might be inclined to come to Washington on January 6th, that President Trump's election fraud allegations were likely very real. Here is another observation about this letter.
Look at the signature line. It was written by Jeff Clarke and Mr. Klukowski, not just for Clark's signature but also for our witnesses today, Jeff Rosen and Richard Donoghue. When it became clear that neither Mr. Rosen nor Mr. Donohue would sign this letter, President Trump's plan necessarily changed. As you will hear today, Donald Trump offered Mr. Clark the job of acting attorney general, replacing Mr. Rosen, with the understanding that Clark would send this letter to Georgia and other states and take other actions the president requested.
One other point, millions of Americans have seen the testimony of Attorney General Barr before this committee. At one point in his deposition, the former attorney general was asked why he authorized the Department of Justice to investigate fraud in the 2020 election at all. Why not just follow the regular course of action and let the investigations occur much later in time, after January 6th? Here's what he said. [Begin videotape]
WILLIAM BARR: I felt the responsible thing to do was to be — to be in a position to have a view as to whether or not there was fraud. And frankly, I think the fact that I put myself in the position that I could say that we had looked at this and didn't think there was fraud was really important to moving things forward.
And I — I sort of shudder to think what the situation would have been if the — if the position of the department was we're not even looking at this until after Biden's in office. I'm not sure we would have had a transition at all. [End videotape]
LIZ CHENEY: I want to thank each of our witnesses before us today for your role in addressing and rebutting the false allegations of fraud at the root of January 6th, and thank you for standing up for the Constitution and for the rule of law. Of course, not all public officials behaved in the honorable way our witnesses did.
At the close of today's hearing, we will see video testimony by three members of Donald Trump's White House staff. They will identify certain of the members of Congress who contacted the White House after January 6th to seek presidential pardons for their conduct. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.
BENNIE THOMPSON: Without objection, the chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois, Mr. Kinzinger, for an opening statement.
ADAM KINZINGER: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you to our witnesses for being here. I'd like to start with a personal story. So, in May of 2009, I returned from service in Iraq and I announced my intention to run for Congress. A big reason I decided to run for Congress was my motivation to ensure freedom and democracy were defended overseas.
I remember making a commitment, out loud a few times and in my heart repeatedly even to today, that if we are going to ask Americans to be willing to die in service to our country, we as leaders must at least be willing to sacrifice our political careers when integrity and our oath requires it. After all, losing a job is nothing compared to losing your life.
Within the halls of power, in the face of a president, that commitment can easily be forgotten. Presidential pressure can be really hard to resist. Today we'll focus on a few officials who stood firm against President Trump's political pressure campaign. When the president tried to misuse the department and install a loyalist at its helm, these brave officials refused and threatened to resign.
They were willing to sacrifice their careers for the good of our country. The Department of Justice is unique in the executive branch. The president oversees the Department of Justice, yet the president's personal or partisan interests must not shape or dictate the department's actions. The president cannot and must not use the department to serve his own personal interest, and he must not use its people to do his political bidding, especially when what he wants them to do is to subvert democracy.
The president cannot pervert justice nor the law to maintain his power. Justice must, both in fact and law, be blind. That is critical to our whole system of self-governance. During this hearing, you'll hear time and time again about the president's request to investigate claims of widespread fraud. Our witnesses, Mr. Rosen, Mr. Donoghue, and Mr. Engle, stood firm in the face of overbearing political pressure because they understood that their oath was to the Constitution and not to the personal or political interest of the president.
The president and his allies became keenly aware that, with legal challenges exhausted and electoral votes certified, their only hope would be a last ditch scheme to prevent Congress from certifying the win, thus throwing the entire system into constitutional chaos. The president wanted the department to sow doubt in the legitimacy of the election, to empower his followers and members of Congress to take action.
If the Department could just lend its credibility to the conspiracies, people would have the justification they needed to spread the big lie. So, President Trump ultimately wanted the Department of Justice to say the election was "corrupt" and "leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen." As you will hear today, the department's top leadership refused.
Not surprisingly, President Trump didn't take no for an answer. He didn't accept it from Attorney General Barr and he wouldn't accept it from Mr. Rosen either, so he looked for another attorney general, his third in two weeks. He needed to find someone who was willing to ignore the facts. That is not the norm.
Let's look at what attorneys general, Democrats and Republicans alike, have said about upholding their oath to the Constitution. [Begin videotape]
JEFF SESSIONS: Attorney general ultimately owes his loyalty to the integrity of the American people and to the fidelity to the Constitution and the legitimate laws of the country. That's what he's ultimately required to do.
ERIC HOLDER: I will be an independent attorney general. I will be the people's lawyer. If, however, there were an issue that I thought were that significant that would compromise my ability to serve as attorney general in the way that I have described it, as the people's lawyer, I would not hesitate to resign.
MICHAEL MUKASEY: As you and I discussed, if the president proposed to undertake a course of conduct that was in violation of the Constitution, that would present me with a — a difficult but not a complex problem. I would have two choices. I could either try to talk him out of it or leave. Those other choices.
LORETTA LYNCH: The attorney general's position as a cabinet member is perhaps unique from all of the cabinet members. Yes, a member of the president's cabinet, but the attorney general has a unique responsibility to provide independent and objective advice to the president or any agency when it is sought, and sometimes perhaps even when it is not sought. [End videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Everyone in that video, from Eric Holder to Jeff Sessions, spoke as one about the independence of the department. It's a point of pride at Justice to apply the law without the president's political self-interest tainting its actions or dictating how it uses its authorities. But President Trump did find one candidate at Justice who seemed willing to do anything to help him stay in power.
Let's hear what President Trump's own lawyer, Eric Herschmann, had to say about Jeff Clark's plan to overturn the election. I'd like to advise viewers this video contains some strong language. [Begin videotape]
ERIC HERSCHMANN: And when he finished discussing what he planned on doing, I said good fucking — excuse me, sorry — effing A-hole, congratulations. You just admitted your first step or act you take as attorney general would be committing a felony and violating Rule 6E. You're clearly the right candidate for this job. [End videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: So, who's Jeff Clarke? An environmental lawyer with no experience relevant to leading the entire Department of Justice? What was his only qualification? That he would do whatever the president wanted him to do, including overthrowing a free and a fair democratic election. President Trump's campaign to bend the Justice Department to his political will culminated in a showdown on January 3rd. Today we will take you inside that early evening Oval Office meeting, where top Justice Department officials met with the president.
At stake, the leadership and integrity of the Department of Justice. [Begin videotape]
RICHARD DONOGHUE: The meeting took about another two and a half hours from the time I entered. It was entirely focused on whether there should be a DOJ leadership change. I was sitting directly in front of the president. Jeff Rosen was to my right. Jeff Clark was to my left.
JEFFERY ROSEN: He looked at me, and I underscored, well, the one thing we know is you're not going to do anything. You don't even agree that the concerns that are being presented are — are valid. And you're someone who has — has a different view. So, why shouldn't I do that? You know, that's how the discussion then proceeded.
ERIC HERSCHMANN: Jeff Clark was proposing that Jeff Rosen be replaced by Jeff Clark. And I thought the proposal was asinine.
UNKNOWN: What were Clark's purported bases for why it was in the President's interest for him to step in? And what would he do? What would — would things change according to Mr. Clark in the meeting?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He repeatedly said to the President that if he was put in the seat, he would conduct real investigations that would in his view uncover widespread fraud. He would send out the letter that he had drafted and that this was a last opportunity to sort of set things straight with this defective election and that he could do it. And he had the intelligence and the will and the desire to pursue these matters in the way that the President thought most appropriate.
ERIC HERSCHMANN: And he was making a pitch. And every time he'd get clobbered over the head, he would like say like, you know, he would call to order, you know the President, your decision, you get a chance to make this decision. And you know, you've heard everybody and you can make your determination. And then we jump back in. And no, no, they clobber him.
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I made the point that Jeff Clark is not even competent to serve as the Attorney General. He's never been a criminal attorney. He's never conducted a criminal investigation in his life. He's never been in front of a jury, much less a trial jury. And he kind of retorted by saying, well, I've done a lot of very complicated appeals in civil litigation, environmental litigation, and things like that.
And I said, that's right. You're an environmental lawyer, how about you go back to your office and we'll call you when there's an oil spill. And Pat Cipollone weighed in at one point. I remember saying, you know, that letter that this guy wants to send, that letter is a murder suicide pact. It's going to damage everyone who touches it. And we should have nothing to do with that letter.
I don't ever want to see that letter again. And so we went along those lines.
ERIC HERSCHMANN: I thought Jeff's proposal — Clark's proposal was nuts. I mean this guy, at a certain point, listen, the best I can tell is the only thing you know about environmental and elections challenges is they both start with E. And based on your answers tonight, I'm not even certain you know that.
RICHARD DONOGHUE: The President said, suppose I do this. Suppose I replace him, Jeff Rosen with him, Jeff Clark. What do you do? [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Well, we know these men before us did the right thing, but think about what happens if these justice officials make a different decision. What happens if they bow to the pressure? What would that do to us as a democracy as a nation? Imagine a future where the President could screen applicants to the Justice Department with one question, are you loyal to me or to the Constitution?
And it wouldn't take long to find people willing to pledge their loyalty to the man. We know many of President Trump's vocal supporters on January 6th, also wanted the Justice Department to do whatever he asked as long as it meant he could stay in power. They made sure Justice Department officials heard his message as they protested loudly in front of the department on their way to the Capitol on January 6th. [Begin Videotape]
UNKNOWN: Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Live in DC, we're marching to the Capitol. We are at the Department of Justice right now telling these powers to do their job! We're going to check the Capitol. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: I want to take a moment now to speak directly to my fellow Republicans. Imagine the country's top prosecutor with the power to open investigations, subpoena, charge crimes, and seek imprisonment. Imagine that official pursuing the agenda of the other party instead of that of the American people as a whole.
And if you're a Democrat, imagine it the other way around. Today, President Trump's total disregard for the Constitution and his oath will be fully exposed. Now, let's get this hearing underway so we can do our part to protect the freedoms that we often take for granted, so that we can see how close we came to losing it all.
I now yield back to the Chairman.
BENNIE THOMPSON: We're joined today by three distinguished witnesses who each served in the Trump administration in the months preceding January 6th. Mr. Jeffrey Rosen served at the Department of Justice from May 2019 until January 2021. With President Trump's nomination and the confirmation of the United States Senate, he became the United States deputy attorney general.
In December 2020, he took the mantle of acting attorney general. Mr. Richard Donoghue has served in the Department of Justice for over 14 years. Mr. Donoghue was a United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York, then became Mr. Rosen's principal associate deputy attorney general and finally acting deputy attorney general.
Mr. Donoghue also served more than 20 years in the United States military, including the 82nd Airborne and the Judge Advocate General Corps. We are also joined by Mr. Steven Engel, the former assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel. He was nominated by the former President and confirmed by the Senate during the Trump administration.
He served from November 2017 to January 2021 and has now returned to private practice. I will now swear in our witnesses. The witnesses will please stand and raise their right hands. Do you swear on form [ph] on the penalty of perjury that the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
So help you God.
UNKNOWN: [off-mic]
BENNIE THOMPSON: Thank you. You may be seated. Let the record reflect the witnesses all answered in the affirmative. I now recognize myself questions. First of all, gentlemen, thank you for being here today. All of you served at former Presidents Trump's pleasure at the Department of Justice and top leadership positions with tremendous responsibilities.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr told the select committee that before he left the department in December 2020, he told President Trump on at least three occasions there was no evidence of widespread election fraud that would have changed the results of the Presidential election and refuted numerous specific claims of election fraud the President was making.
Mr. Rosen, after Mr. Barr announced his resignation, did Donald Trump continued to demand that the Department of Justice investigate his claims of election fraud?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Yes, he — he asserted that he thought the Justice Department had not done enough.
BENNIE THOMPSON: Thank you. From the time you took over from Attorney General Barr until January 3rd, how often did President Trump contact you or the department to push allegations of election fraud?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: So between December 23rd and January 3rd, the President either called me or met with me virtually every day with one or two exceptions like Christmas Day. And before that because I had been announced that I would become the acting attorney general before the date I actually did, the President had asked that Rich Donoghue and I go over and meet with him I believe on December 15th as well.
BENNIE THOMPSON: So after you had some of these meetings and conversations with the President, what things did the President raise with you?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: So — so the common element of all of this was the President expressing his dissatisfaction that the Justice Department in his view had not done enough to investigate election fraud, but at different junctures other topics came up at different intervals. So at one point he had raised the question of having a special counsel for election fraud.
At a number of points, he raised requests that I meet with his campaign counsel, Mr. Giuliani. At one point, he raised the — whether the Justice Department would file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court. At a couple of junctures, there were questions about making public statements or about holding a press conference.
At one of the later junctures was this issue of sending a letter to state legislatures in Georgia or other states. And so there were different things raised at different parts or different intervals with the common theme being his dissatisfaction about what the Justice Department had done to investigate election fraud.
I will say that the Justice Department declined all of those requests that I was just referencing because we did not think that they were appropriate based on the facts and the law as we understood them.
BENNIE THOMPSON: Thank you. So, Mr. Donoghue, on December 15th, the day after Attorney General Barr announced his resignation, the President summoned you and Mr. Rosen to the White House. At this meeting with the President, what did he want to discuss?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: There were a number of topics of discussion that day, Mr. Chairman. Much of the conversation focused on a report that had been recently released relating to Antrim County in Michigan. I believe on December 13th, an organization called the Allied Security Group issued a report that alleged that the Dominion voting machines in that county had a 68 percent error rate.
The report was widely covered in the media. We were aware of it. We obtained a copy of it on the 14th of December, the day prior. We circulated to the US attorneys in Michigan for their awareness. And we had a number of discussions internally. But the conversation with the President on that day, the 15th, was largely focused on that.
And he was essentially saying, have you seen this report? He was adamant that the report must be accurate, that it proved that the election was defective, that he in fact won the election, and the department should be using that report to basically tell the American people that the results were not trustworthy.
And he went on to other theories as well, but the bulk of that conversation on December 15th focused on Antrim County, Michigan. And you saw the report.
BENNIE THOMPSON: Thank you. Mr. Engel, we know that Attorney General Barr announced on December 1st, 2020 that the Department of Justice had found no evidence of widespread fraud that could have changed the outcome of the election. So from December 1st, 2020 until today as you sit here, have you ever doubted that top line conclusion?
STEVEN ENGEL: No, I've never had any reason to doubt Attorney General Barr's conclusion.
BENNIE THOMPSON: Thank you. Pursuant to Section 5c8 of House Resolution 503, the Chair now recognizes the gentleman from Illinois, Mr. Kinzinger, for questions.
ADAM KINZINGER: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the weeks leading to January 6th, the Department of Justice was fielding almost daily requests from the President to investigate claims of election fraud. Each claim was refuted time and time again, an effort Attorney General Barr described as whack a mole. When each of the President's efforts failed, he resorted to installing a new attorney general to say the election was illegal and corrupt simply so he could stay in power.
President Trump started leaning on the Justice Department the first chance he got. On November 29th, his first television interview after the election. [Begin Videotape]
UNKNOWN: Where is the DOJ and the FBI in all of this, Mr. President? You have laid out some serious charges here. Shouldn't this be something that the FBI is investigating?
DONALD TRUMP: Missing in action.
UNKNOWN: Are they? Is the DOJ investigating?
DONALD TRUMP: Missing in action. Can't tell you where they are. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Republican Congressman echoed the President just two days later. They wrote a letter to Attorney General Barr laying into the Justice Department for a, quote, "shocking lack of action" in investigating the claims of election fraud. That same day Attorney General Barr stated publicly that President Trump's claims had no merit.
Ignoring the top law enforcement officer in the country, Republican Congressman amplified the stolen election message to the American public. Let's listen. [Begin Videotape]
LOUIE GOHMERT: And so there's widespread evidence of fraud cause people haven't done their jobs. Durham and Barr will deserve a big notation in history when it's written of the rise and fall of the United States. If they don't clean up this mess, clean up the fraud, do your jobs, and save this little experiment in self- government.
ANDY BIGGS: Again, I join my colleagues in calling on Attorney General Bill Barr to immediately let us know what he's doing.
PAUL GOSAR: We're already working on and challenging the certified electors. And then what about the courts? How pathetic are the courts?
MATT GAETZ: January 6th, I'm joining with the fighters in the Congress. And we are going to object to electors from states that did run clean elections. [Applause] Democracy is left undefended if we accept the result of a stolen election without fighting with every bit of vigor we can muster.
JIM JORDAN: The ultimate date of significance is January six. This is how the process works. The ultimate arbiter here, the ultimate check and balance is the United States Congress. And when something is done in an unconstitutional fashion, which happened in several of these states, we have a duty to step forward and have this debate and have this vote on the 6th of January.
MO BROOKS: Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Donoghue, on December 27th you had a 90 minute conversation with the President where he raised false claim after false claim with you and Mr. Rosen. How did you respond to what you called a quote, "Stream of allegations?"
RICHARD DONOGHUE: The December 27th conversation was in my mind an escalation of the earlier conversations. As the former acting AG indicated, there were a lot of communications that preceded that. As we got later in the month of December, the President's entreaties became more urgent. He became more adamant that we weren't doing our job.
We need to step up and do our job. And he had this arsenal of allegations that he wanted to — to rely on. And so I felt in that conversation that it was incumbent on — on me to make it very clear to the President what our investigations had revealed, and that we had concluded based on actual investigations, actual witness interviews, actual reviews of documents that these allegations simply had no merit.
And I wanted to try to cut through the noise. Because it was clear to us that there were a lot of people whispering in his ear, feeding him these conspiracy theories and allegations. And I felt that being very blunt in that conversation might help make it clear to the President these allegations were simply not true.
And so as he went through them and what for me was a 90 minute conversation or so, what for the former A — Acting AG was a two hour conversation. As the President went through them I went piece by piece to say no, that's false. That is not true. And to correct him really in — in a serial fashion as he moved from one theory to another.
ADAM KINZINGER: Can you give me an example of one or two of those theories?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: So, one that was very clear at that point was the Antrim County — the ASOG report that I mentioned earlier. Allied Security Operations Group released this report that said 60 percent error rate. There was in fact in Antrim County a hand recount. Had nothing to do with the Department. The Department did not request that.
That was pursuant to litigation brought by other parties, but there was a hand recount. So they were able to compare the hand recount to what the machines had reported. And for the ballots that were actually counted by machine, more than 15,000, there was one error, one ballot. And I did a quick calculation and came up with .0063 percent error rate, which is well within tolerance.
And so I made it very clear to the President because he was so fixated on the ASOG report in the December 15th conversation that in fact our investigation revealed that the error rate was .0063 percent. So that, Mr. President, an example of what people are telling you that is not true, and that you cannot and should not be relying on. So that was one very explicit one.
And I think you see that reflected in my notes. We went through a series of others. The truck driver who claimed to have moved an entire tractor trailer of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania. That was also incorrect. We did an investigation where the FBI interviewed witnesses at the front end and the back end of that — that trailer's transit from New York to Pennsylvania.
We looked at loading manifests. We interviewed witnesses including of course the driver, and we knew it wasn't true. Whether the driver believed it or not was never clear to me, but it was just not true. So that was another one that I tried to educate the President on. There were a series of others mostly in swing states of course.
He wanted to talk a great deal about Georgia, the State Farm Arena video which he believed for various reasons was as he said it — fraud staring you right in the face.
ADAM KINZINGER: Were any of the allegations he brought up found credible? Did you find any of them credible?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: No.
ADAM KINZINGER: So during this conversation, did — did you take handwritten notes directly quoting the President?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I did. And to make it clear, Attorney General Rosen called me on my government cell phone, said he'd been on the phone with the President for some time. The President had a lot of these allegations. I was better versed in what the Department had done just cause I had closer contact with the investigations.
And the AG asked me to go on the call. Of course I agreed. And I began taking notes only because at the outset the President made an allegation I had not heard. I had heard many of these things. I knew many of them were investigated. But when the President — at least when I came to the conversation when he began speaking, he brought up an allegation I was completely unaware of. And of course that concerned us. So I simply reached out and grabbed a notepad off my wife's nightstand and a pen and I started jotting it down.
That had to do with an allegation that more than 200,000 votes were certified in the state of Pennsylvania that were not actually cast. Sometimes the President would say it was 205, sometimes he would say it was 250. But I had not heard this before and I wanted to get the allegation down clearly so that we can look into it if appropriate.
And that's why I started taking those notes. And then as the conversation continued, I just continued to take the notes.
ADAM KINZINGER: Let's take a look at the notes if we could right now. As we can see on the screen, you actually quote President Trump asking where is DOJ just like we heard him say in his first television interview. How did you respond to that?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: So both the Acting AG and I tried to explain to the President on this occasion and on several other occasions that the Justice Department has a very important, very specific, but very limited role in these elections. States run their elections. We are not quality control for the states. We are obviously interested in and have a mission that relates to criminal conduct in relation to federal elections.
We also have related civil rights responsibilities. So we do have an important role. But the bottom line was if a state ran their election in such a way that it was defective, that is to the state or Congress to correct. It is not for the Justice Department to step in. And I certainly understood the President as a layman not understanding why the Justice Department didn't have at least a civil role to step in and bring suit on behalf of the American people.
We tried to explain that to him. The American people do not constitute the client for the United States Justice Department. The one and only client of the United States Justice Department is the United States government. And the United States government does not have standing as we were repeatedly told by our internal teams, OLC led by Steve Engle, as well as the Office of the Solicitor General researched it and gave us thorough clear opinions that we simply did not have standing.
And we tried to explain that to the President on numerous occasions.
ADAM KINZINGER: Let's take a look at another one of your notes. You also noted that Mr. Rosen said to Mr. Trump quote, "DOJ can't and won't snap its fingers and change the outcome of the election." How — how did the President respond to that, Sir?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He responded very quickly and said essentially that's not what I'm asking you to do. What I'm just asking you to do is to say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen.
ADAM KINZINGER: So let's now put up the notes where you — where you quote the President as you're speaking to that. He said the President — the President said just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen. So Mr. Donoghue, that's a direct quote from President Trump, correct?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: That's an exact quote from the President, yes.
ADAM KINZINGER: The next note shows that even the — even the — that the President kept pressing. Even though he had been told that there was no evidence of fraud, did the President keep saying that the department was quote, "Obligated to tell people that this was an illegal corrupt election."
RICHARD DONOGHUE: That's also an exact quote from the President. Yes.
ADAM KINZINGER: Let me just be clear. Did the Department find any evidence to conclude that there was anything illegal or corrupt about the 2020 election?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: There were isolated instances of fraud. None of them came close to calling into question the outcome of the election in any individual state.
ADAM KINZINGER: And how would you describe the President's demeanor during that call?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He was more agitated than he was on December 15th. The — the President throughout all of these meetings and telephone conversations was adamant that he had won and that we were not doing our job. But it did escalate over time until ultimately the — the meeting on January 3rd, which was sort of the most extreme of the meetings and conversations.
ADAM KINZINGER: So I want to make sure we don't gloss this over. Just say it was corrupt and leave the rest to us. The President wanted the top Justice Department officials to declare that the election was corrupt even though as he knew there was absolutely no evidence to support that statement. The President didn't care about actually investigating the facts.
He just wanted the Department of Justice to put its stamp of approval on the lies. Who was going to help him? Well, Jeff Clark. Mr. Rosen on Christmas Eve, your first official day as the Acting Attorney General, President Trump called you. What did he want to talk about?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: The same things he was talking about publicly. He — he wanted to talk about that he thought the — the election had been stolen or — or was corrupt and that there was widespread fraud. And I had told him that our reviews had not shown that to be the case. So we had an extended discussion, probably 15, maybe 20 minutes, something like that with — with him urging that the Department of Justice should be doing more with regard to election fraud.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did he mention Jeff Clark's name?
JEFFREY ROSEN: Yes. It was just in passing. He made what I regarded as a peculiar reference. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something about did I know Jeff Clark or did I know who he was or something like that. And I told him I did. And then re — the conversation just moved on. But when I — I hung up, I was — I was quizzical as to how does the President even know Mr. Clark?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: I was not aware that they had ever met or that the President had been involved with any of the issues in the civil division.
ADAM KINZINGER: So it was a bit of a surprise when he brought his name up?
JEFFREY ROSEN: Yes.
ADAM KINZINGER: So Mr. Clark was the Acting Head of the Civil Division and Head of Environmental and Natural Resources Division at the Department of Justice. Do either of those divisions have any role whatsoever in investigating election fraud, Sir?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: No. And — and to my awareness, Jeff Clark had had no prior involvement of any kind with regard to the work that the Department was doing that Attorney General Barr has talked about to this committee.
ADAM KINZINGER: So let's take a minute and explain why the President mentioned Jeff Clark's name to Mr. Rosen here on Christmas Eve. On December 21st, some Republican members of Congress met with President Trump in the White House to talk about overturning the 2020 election. Let's hear Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene talk about how this meeting got set up. [Begin Videotape]
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I was the only new member at the meeting. I called President Trump on Saturday and — and said we've got to have a meeting. There's many of us that feel like this election has been stolen. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: So on the screen you'll see that President Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows tweeted about that meeting right after it happened. He said quote, "Several members of Congress just finished a meeting in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump preparing to fight back against mounting evidence of voter fraud. Stay tuned."
On the same day he met with these Republican members of Congress, President Trump called in to a conservative political convention and he used the opportunity to pressure the Department of Justice to investigate his bogus claims. [Begin Videotape]
DONALD TRUMP: The problem is we need a party that's going to fight. And we have some great Congressmen and women that are doing it. And we have others, some great fighters. But we won this in a landslide. They know it. And we need backing from, like, the Justice Department and other people have to finally step up. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: The Select Committee obtained records from the National Archives that show that Scott Perry was one of the Congressmen who joined that meeting. We learned from White House records that you'll now see on the screen that the very next day Representative Perry returned to the White House. This time, he brought a Justice Department official named Jeffrey Clark.
Representative Perry provided the following statement to his local TV affiliate. He said quote, "Throughout the past four years I've worked with Assistant Attorney General Clark on various legislative matters. When President Trump asked if I would make an introduction, I obliged." But why Jeff Clark? Let's hear Mr. Giuliani explain the kind of person that he and the President wanted at the top of Justice. [Begin Videotape]
UNKNOWN: Remember ever recommending to anybody that Mr. Clark, meaning Jeffrey Clark at DOJ, be given election related responsibilities?
RUDY GIULIANI: You mean beyond the President?
UNKNOWN: Correct.
RUDY GIULIANI: Well, beyond the president, I do recall saying to people that somebody should be put in charge of the Justice Department who isn't frightened of what's going to be done to their reputation, because Justice Department was filled with people like that. [End videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Should put somebody that's not frightened of what's going to be done to their reputation. Mr. Donoghue, when you told the president that you wouldn't pursue baseless claims of fraud, was it because you were worried about your reputation?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: No, not at all.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Clark's name was also mentioned in the White House in late December and early January, as described by a top aide to Mark Meadows, Cassidy Hutchinson. [Begin videotape]
UNKNOWN: Was it your understanding that Representative Perry was pushing for a specific person to take over the department?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: He wanted Mr. Clark, Mr. Jeff Clark, to take over the Department of Justice. [End videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Rosen, after your call with President Trump on December 24th, you spoke with Mr. Clark on December 26th about his contact with the president. Can you tell us about that conversation?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Yes. Because I had been quizzical about why his name had come up, I called him and I tried to explore if he would share if there was something I ought to know. And after some back and forth, he acknowledged that shortly before Christmas he had gone to a meeting in the Oval Office with the president. That, of course, surprised me, and I asked him how did that happen.
And he was defensive. He said it — it had been unplanned, that he had been talking to someone he referred to as General Perry, but I believe is Congressman Perry. And that, unbeknownst to him, he was asked to go to a meeting and he didn't know it, but it turned out it was at the Oval — he found himself at the Oval Office.
And — and he was apologetic for that. And I said, well, you didn't tell me about it. It wasn't authorized, and you didn't even tell me after the fact. You know, this is not — not appropriate. But he was contrite and said it had been inadvertent and it would not happen again, and that if anyone asked him to go to such a meeting, he would notify Rich Donoghue and me.
ADAM KINZINGER: Is there a policy that governs who — who can have contact directly with the White House?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Yes. So, across many administrations for — for a long period of time, there's a policy that, particularly with regard to criminal investigations, restricts, at both the White House and in the Justice Department and those more sensitive issues, to the highest ranks. So, for criminal matters, the policy for a long time has been that only the attorney general and the deputy attorney general from the DOJ side can have conversations about criminal matters with the White House, or the attorney general and the deputy attorney general can authorize someone for a specific item with their permission.
But the idea is to make sure that the top rung of the Justice Department knows about it and is in the thing to control it and make sure only appropriate things are done.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Engel, from your perspective, why is it important to have a — a policy like Mr. Rosen just discussed?
STEVEN ENGEL: Well, it's critical that the Department of Justice conducts its criminal investigations free from either the reality or any appearance of political interference. And so, people can get in trouble if people at the White House are speaking with people at the department. And that's why the purpose of these policies is to keep these communications as infrequent and at the highest levels as possible, just to make sure that people who are less careful about it, who don't really understand these implications, such as Mr. Clark, don't run afoul of the — of those contact policies.
ADAM KINZINGER: Thank you. So, the Select Committee conducted an informal interview with the White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, and his deputy Pat Philbin about their contact with Mr. Clark, though neither has yet agreed to sit for transcribed and videotaped interviews. But Pat Cipollone told the Select Committee that he intervened when he heard Mr. Clark was meeting with the president about legal matters without his knowledge, which was strictly against White House policy.
Mr. Cipollone and Mr. Philbin, like Mr. Rosen, told Mr. Clark to stand down, and he didn't. On the same day Acting Attorney General Rosen told Mr. Clark to stop talking to the White House, Representative Perry was urging Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to elevate Clark within the Department of Justice. You can now see on the screen behind me a series of texts between Representative Perry and Mr. Meadows.
They show that Representative Perry requested that Mr. Clark be elevated within the department. Representative Perry tells Mr. Meadows on December 26th that "Mark, just checking in as time continues to count down. 11 days to January 6th and 25 days to inauguration. We've got to get going." Representative Perry followed up and says, "Mark, you should call Jeff.
I just got off the phone with him and he explained to me why the principal deputy won't work, especially with the FBI. They will view it as not having the authority to enforce what needs to be done." Mr. Meadows responds with, "I got it. I think I understand. Let me work on the deputy position." Representative Perry then texts, "Roger.
Just sent you something on Signal, just sent you an updated file. Did you call Jeff Clark?" Mr. Donoghue, Representative Perry called you the next day, on December 27th. Who — who told him to call you?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: My understanding is the president did. At the outset of the call, Congressman Perry told me that he was calling at the behest of the president.
ADAM KINZINGER: What did — what did he want to talk about?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He wanted to talk about Pennsylvania in particular. He gave me some background about, you know, why he in particular doesn't trust the FBI and why the American people don't necessarily trust the FBI. And then he went into some allegations specific to Pennsylvania, which included, amongst others, this allegation that the secretary of state had certified more votes than were actually cast.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did you direct that local — the local US attorney's office to investigate that claim?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: So, Mr. Perry said that he had a great deal of information, that investigations had been done, that there was some sort of forensic type report that would be helpful to me. And I didn't know Congressman Perry, had never heard of him before this conversation. But I said, sir, if you've got something that you think is relevant to what the Justice Department's mission is, you should feel free to send it to me. And he did, and I was in route from New York to Washington.
I got it. I looked at it on my iPhone. Obviously, I couldn't read the whole thing in that — in transit like that. But I looked at it to get a feel for what it was, and then I forwarded to the United States attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did they get back to you? What did they conclude?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Scott Brady looked at it. He was the Western District Pennsylvania US attorney. Took him a couple days, but he got back in relatively short order with a pretty clear explanation for why there was no foundation for concern. The Secretary of State had not certified more votes than were actually cast. The difference between the 5.25 that was actually certified by the Secretary of State and the 5 million that was on a public facing website was that the information on the website was incomplete because four counties had not uploaded their data.
ADAM KINZINGER: So, no credibility to that claim. There was zero to that, right. During that call, did Scott Perry mention Mr. Clark? And what did he say about him, if so?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He did. He mentioned Mr. Clark. He said something to the effect of I think Jeff Clark is great, and I think he's the kind of guy who could get in there and do something about this stuff. And this was coming on the heels of the president having mentioned Mr. Clark in the afternoon call earlier that day.
ADAM KINZINGER: I'd like to yield to the gentlewoman from Wyoming, Vice Chair Cheney.
LIZ CHENEY: Thank you very much, Mr. Kinzinger. I thank the gentleman for yielding. As we discussed earlier, at the center of Mr. Clark's plan to undo President Trump's election loss was a letter. Mr. Donoghue, on December 28th, Mr. Clark emailed you and Mr. Rosen a draft letter that he wanted you to sign and send to Georgia state officials.
You testified that this could have "grave constitutional consequences." Mr. Donoghue, can you tell us what you meant by that?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Well, I had to read both the email and the attached letter twice to make sure I really understood what he was proposing, because it was so extreme to me I had a hard time getting my head around it initially. But I read it and I did understand it for what he intended. And I had to sit down and sort of compose what I thought was an appropriate response.
I actually initially went next door to the acting AG's office, but he was not there. We were both on that email. I knew we would both have probably a very similar reaction to it. He was not in his office. So, I returned to my office and I sat down to draft a response, because I thought it was very important to give a prompt response rejecting this out of hand.
There were — in my response, I explained a number of reasons. This is not the department's role to suggest or dictate to state legislatures how they should select their electors. But more importantly, this was not based on fact. This was actually contrary to the facts as developed by department investigations over the last several weeks and months.
So, I respond to that. And for the department to insert itself into the political process this way, I think would have had grave consequences for the country. It may very well have spiraled us into a constitutional crisis. And I wanted to make sure that he understood the gravity of the situation, because he didn't seem to really appreciate it.
LIZ CHENEY: And what was Mr. Clark's reaction when you sent this email to him?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He didn't respond directly to the email, but we met shortly after that, after I sent the email. The acting AG returned. I went to his office. He had just read it. He had a very similar reaction to me. He was exasperated, and he told me that he had told one of his administrative assistant to get Jeff Clark up here.
We wanted to talk to him face to face about this. And so, the three of us then had a meeting, probably around 1800 that night, in the deputy attorney general's conference room.
LIZ CHENEY: And one of the things that you said to Mr. Clark is "What you are doing is nothing less than the United States Justice Department meddling in the outcome of a presidential election." And I assume you conveyed that to him as well in your meeting that evening.
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Yes, in those very words. It was a very contentious meeting. But yes, that was said, amongst other things.
LIZ CHENEY: And despite this contentious meeting and your strong reaction to the letter, did Mr. Clark continue to push his concept in the coming days?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He did, yes. We had subsequent meetings and conversations. The acting AG probably had more contact with him than I did. But between the 28th and the 2nd, when we had another in-person meeting, he clearly continued to — to move down this path. He began calling witnesses and apparently conducting investigations of his own, and he got a briefing from DNI about purported foreign intelligence interference.
And we thought perhaps, once it was explained to him that there was no basis for that part of his concern, that he would retreat. But instead, he doubled down and said, well, Ok. So, there's no foreign interference. I still think there are enough allegations out there that we should go ahead and send this letter, which shocked me even more than the initial one, because you would think after a couple of days of looking at this he, like we, would have come to the same conclusion, that it was completely unfounded.
LIZ CHENEY: And when you learned that he had been calling witnesses and conducting investigations on his own, did you confront him?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Yes.
LIZ CHENEY: And what was his reaction?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He got very defensive. You know, as I said, there were a series of conversations through that week. I — I certainly remember very specifically the conversation in the meeting on January 2nd. That got even more confrontational. But he was defensive. And, you know, similar to his earlier reaction when I said this is nothing less than Justice Department meddling in an election, his reaction was I think a lot of people have meddled in this election.
And so, he kind of clung to that, and then spewed out some of these theories, some of which we'd heard from the president, but others which were floating around the Internet and media, and just kept insisting that the department needed to act and needed to send those letters.
LIZ CHENEY: The committee has also learned that Mr. Clark was working with another attorney at the department named Ken Klukowski, who drafted this letter to Georgia with Mr. Clark. Mr. Klukowski had arrived at the department on December 15th with just 36 days left until the inauguration. He was specifically assigned to work under Jeff Clark.
And Mr. Klukowski also worked with John Eastman, who we showed you at our hearing last week, was one of the primary architects of President Trump's scheme to overturn the election. The Georgia letter that we've been discussing specifically talks about some of Dr. Eastman's theories, including "The purpose of the special session the department recommends would be for the General Assembly to determine whether the election failed to make a proper and valid choice between the candidates, such that the General Assembly could take whatever action is necessary to ensure that one of the slates of electors cast on December 14th will be accepted by Congress on January 6th." The committee has also learned that the relationship between Dr. Eastman and Mr. Klukowski persisted after Mr. Klukowski joined the Justice Department.
Let's take a look at an email recommending that Mr. Klukowski and Dr. Eastman brief Vice President Pence and his staff. Other recipients of this email included the chief of staff to Congressman Louie Gohmert. And the email says, as stated last week, I believe the vice president and his staff would benefit greatly from a briefing by John and Ken. As I also mentioned, we want to make sure we don't overexpose Ken, given his new position.
This email suggests that Mr. Klukowski was simultaneously working with Jeffrey Clark to draft the proposed letter to Georgia officials to overturn their certified election and working with Dr. Eastman to help pressure the vice president to overturn the election. I want to thank all of our witnesses for being here today and — and for answering our questions about this letter and other issues.
We asked Mr. Clark some of the same questions that we've asked you and here's how he answered. [Begin videotape]
UNKNOWN: Did you discuss this draft letter to Georgia officials with the president of the United States?
JEFFREY CLARK: Fifth and executive privilege. Again, just restated for the abundance of caution.
UNKNOWN: Ok. If you look again at this draft letter, in the first paragraph, second sentence, it says the department will update you as we are able on investigatory progress. But at this time, we have identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election in multiple states, including the state of Georgia.
Isn't that in fact contrary to what Attorney General Barr had said on December 1st, 2020?
JEFFREY CLARK: Fifth. [End videotape]
LIZ CHENEY: Mr. Chairman, I yield back.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Chairman, I reserve.
BENNIE THOMPSON: Pursuant to the order of the committee of today, the chair declares the committee in recess for a period of approximately 10 minutes. The committee will be in order. The chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois.
ADAM KINZINGER: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, around the time Mr. Clark was pushing for the department to send the Georgia letter, the president and his supporters were pressuring the Justice Department to take other actions to change the outcome of the 2020 election. Mr. Engel, were — you were the head of the Office of Legal Counsel.
Can you first off explain your role? What is that?
STEVEN ENGEL: Sure. One of the attorney general's most important responsibilities is to provide the legal advice to the president and to the executive branch.
STEVEN ENGEL: As a practical matter, given the responsibilities of the attorney general, the assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel exercises that — that job on a day to day basis. And so in — in addition the head of OLC often functions as a — a general counsel essentially to the Attorney General. And so he's often, you know, the chief legal advisor to the AG as well as, you know, the — the White House and the executive branch more broadly.
ADAM KINZINGER: So given that role, can you describe your relationship with the President?
STEVEN ENGEL: Well, I, you know, in connection with my role at OLC, over the course of my tenure there there were a number of instances in which folks at the White House would — would seek to bring me in to provide legal advice to the President sometimes discussing the legal options that could be pursued among various policy to — to reach various policy objectives.
Sometimes to advise the President that I — a course of action that they had been discussing was not legally available.
ADAM KINZINGER: So I want to ask about two things the President asked you and the Department to do. The first is reflected in this email that we're going to put on the screen. The President sent a draft lawsuit to be filed by the Department in the Supreme Court. He wanted you, Mr. Rosen, and Mr. Cipollone specifically to review it. You and the Department opposed filing it. We see on the screen here that the tal — the talking points that you actually drafted on that.
So you stated that there is no legal basis to bring this lawsuit. Anyone who thinks otherwise simply doesn't know the law much less the Supreme Court. Why was this the Department's position?
STEVEN ENGEL: Well, I mean, I think the — it was — the memo sort of speaks to this, but essentially this was a draft lawsuit that apparently was prepared by people outside the Department. It would be styled as brought by the United States and by the — the Acting Solicitor General as an original jurisdiction matter in the Supreme Court.
It — it was a meritless lawsuit that was not something that the Department could or — or would bring. You know, somebody obviously prepared it to the — handed it to the President and he — he forwarded it on for our review. But that memo explains why the Department of Justice, as Mr. Donoghue said earlier, doesn't have any standing to bring such a lawsuit.
The lawsuit would have been untimely. The states had chosen their electors. The electors had been certified. They'd cast their votes. They'd been sent to Washington, DC. Neither Georgia nor any of the other states on December 28th or whenever this was was in a position to change those votes. The — essentially the election had happened.
The only thing that hadn't happened was the formal counting of the votes. And so obviously, you know, the person who drafted this lawsuit didn't really understand in my view, you know, the law and or how the Supreme Court works or the Department of Justice. So it was just not something we were going to do. And the Acting Attorney General asked me to prepare a memo with talking points so that he could explain our reasons when he spoke with the President about this.
ADAM KINZINGER: So would you say it was a unusual request?
STEVEN ENGEL: It was certainly an un — you said the — the request that — that the Department file a lawsuit from — drafted by outside lawyers was certainly an unusual request.
ADAM KINZINGER: There was another issue you were asked to look into. In mid-December did the White House ask Attorney General Barr to consider whether a Special Counsel could be appointed to look into election fraud issues?
STEVEN ENGEL: I — yes. I mean, the — the — I mean, I think the President was probably vocal at the time that he believed that Special Counsel was something that should be considered to look into election fraud. And there is a specific, you know, request where the Attorney General sought my legal advice in — in the middle of December.
ADAM KINZINGER: And what was your conclusion? What conclusion did you reach?
STEVEN ENGEL: So — so this — this request was whether the — whether the Attorney General could appoint as a Special Counsel a — a state Attorney General to conduct an investigation. I mean, as — as a legal matter, under federal law the Attorney General actually has fairly wide discretion to delegate prosecutorial authority including to state prosecutors which happens to assist the Department.
You know, and not uncommonly, obviously a state Attorney General exercising prosecutorial authority on behalf of the Department of Justice would be fairly uncommon. When we looked at the issue what we saw is actually that the state law — the state was Louisiana — that the state law precluded the Louisiana Attorney General from accepting any position — any official position on behalf of the United States government.
So that — that answered the question that it was not legally available.
ADAM KINZINGER: So during your time at the Department, was there ever any basis to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate President Trump's election fraud claims?
STEVEN ENGEL: Well — well neither Attorney General Barr nor Acting Attorney General Rosen did appoint a Special Counsel. We — you would appoint the Special Counsel when the Department — when there's a basis for an investigation and the Department essentially has a conflict of interest. It's important to get someone who's independent outside the Department to handle such an investigation.
Neither Attorney General Barr nor Acting Attorney General Rosen ever believed that that was appropriate or necessary in this case.
ADAM KINZINGER: In fact, Attorney General Barr had already told the President that there was no need for this Special Counsel. He actually stated that publicly. And we'll see that here in a video from December 21st. [Begin Videotape]
WILLIAM BARR: To the extent that there's an inve — investigation, I think that it's being handled responsibly and professionally. Currently within the — the Department and to this point I have not seen a reason to appoint a Special Counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: So remember that December 21st was the same day President Trump met with Republican members at the White House to strategize about how to overturn the election while his Attorney General is out telling the public again that there was no widespread evidence of election fraud.
And yet two days later we have President Trump tweeting again publicly pressuring the Department to appoint a Special Counsel. He said, quote, "After seeing the massive voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential election, I disagree with anyone that thinks a strong, fast, and fair Special Counsel is not needed immediately." "This was the most corrupt election in the history of our country and it must be closely examined." The Select Committee's investigation revealed that President Trump went as far as to promise the job of Special Counsel to now-discredited former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell at a late night meeting on December 18th. [Begin Videotape]
SIDNEY POWELL: I know on — on Friday he had asked me to be Special Counsel to address the election issues and to collect evidence. And he was extremely frustrated with the lack of, I would call it law enforcement, by any of the government agencies that are supposed to act to protect the rule of law in our republic. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: So let's think here. What would a Special Counsel do? With only days to go until election certification it wasn't to investigate anything. An investigation led by a Special Counsel would just create an illusion of legitimacy and provide fake cover for those who would want to object including those who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. All of President Trump's plans for the Justice Department were being rebuffed by Mr. Rosen, Mr. Donoghue, Mr. Engel, and others.
The President became desperate entering into the new year with January 6th fast approaching. President Trump rushed back early from Mar a Lago on December 31st and called an emergency meeting with the Department's leadership. Here's Mr. Donoghue describing the last minute meeting held at the White House on New Year's Eve. [Begin Videotape]
RICHARD DONOGHUE: The President was a little more agitated than he had been on the meeting — in the meeting on the 15th. He discussed a variety of election matters. He did say this sounds like the kind of thing that would warrant appointment of a Special Counsel. There was a point at which the President said something about why don't you guys seize machines?
[End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Rosen, the President asked you to seize voting machines from state governments. What was your response to that request?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: That we had — we had seen nothing improper with regard to the voting machines. And I told him that the — the real experts that had been at DHS and they had briefed us, that they had looked at it and that there was nothing wrong with the — the voting machines. And so that was not something that was appropriate to do.
ADAM KINZINGER: There would be no factual basis to seize machines. Mr. Donoghue --
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: — I — I don't think there was legal authority either.
ADAM KINZINGER: Yeah. Mr. Donohue can you explain what the President did after he was told that the Justice Department would not seize voting machines?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: The President was very agitated by the Acting Attorney General's response. And to the extent that machines and — and the technology was being discussed, the Acting Attorney General said that the DHS, Department of Homeland Security, has expertise in machines and certifying them and making sure that the states are operating them properly.
And since DHS had been mentioned, the President yelled out to his Secretary get Ken Cuccinelli on the phone. And she did in very short order. Mr. Cuccinelli was on the phone. He was the number two at DHS at the time. It was on the speakerphone, and the President essentially said, Ken, I'm sitting here with the Acting Attorney General.
He just told me it's your job to seize machines and you're not doing your job. And Mr. Cuccinelli responded.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Rosen, did you ever tell the President that the Department of Homeland Security could seize voting machines?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: No, certainly not.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Donoghue during this meeting did the President tell you that he would remove you and Mr. Rosen because you weren't declaring there was election fraud?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Toward the end of the meeting the President again was getting very agitated and he said people tell me I should just get rid of both of you. I should just remove you and make a change in the leadership. Put Jeff Clark in, maybe something will finally get done. And I responded as I think I had earlier in the December 27th call, Mr. President you should have the leadership that you want.
But understand, the United States Justice Department functions on facts, evidence, and law, and those are not going to change. So you can have whatever leadership you want, but the Department's position is not going to change.
ADAM KINZINGER: The President's White House Counsel Pat Cipollone was also present. Do you remember what his position was?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Pat was very supportive. Pat Cipollone throughout these conversations was extremely supportive of the Justice Department. He was consistent. I think he had an impossible job at that point, but he did it well and he always sided with the Justice Department in these discussions.
ADAM KINZINGER: So let's pause for a second. It's New Year's Eve. President Trump is talking about seizing voting machines and making the same demands that had already been shot down by former Attorney General Barr on at least three occasions and by Mr. Rosen and Mr. Donoghue on multiple other occasions. Claim after claim knocked down.
But the President didn't care. The next day, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows sent a flurry of emails to you, Mr. Rosen, asking that the Department look into a new set of allegations. We're going to put those emails here on the screen. Here we see three requests made on January 1st. One e-mail is a request from Mr. Meadows to you, Mr. Rosen, to send Jeff Clark to Fulton County.
What did you — what did you do with this request?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Well, really — really nothing. Certainly didn't send Mr. Clark to Fulton County. But that email was the first corroboration I had seen of — Mr. Clark had told me at that point that the President was considering making the change by Monday, January 4th. So Mr. Meadows' email was something of a corroboration that there were discussions going on that I had been — not been informed about by Mr. Clark or anybody else.
ADAM KINZINGER: Interesting. The second request that you have is to have the Department of Justice lawyers investigate allegations of fraud related to New Mexico. Mr. Rosen, did you have concern about these emails?
JEFFREY ROSEN: Yes. Really two concerns about that one. One was that it was coming from a campaign or political party.
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: And it was really not our role to function as — as, you know, an arm of any campaign for any party or any campaign. That wasn't our role. And that's part of why I had been unwilling to meet with Mr.
Giuliani or any of the — the campaign people before. And the other part was it was another one of these ones where lots of work had already been done.
And I thought it was a rehash of things that had been debunked previously.
ADAM KINZINGER: So the final email here included a completely baseless conspiracy theory that an Italian defense contractor uploaded software to a satellite that switched votes from Trump to Biden. The Select Committee investigation found that this wild, baseless conspiracy theory made it from the recesses of the internet to the highest echelons of our government.
On December 31st, Mr. Meadows received this internet conspiracy theory from Representative Perry. On the screen now is the text that Representative Perry sent to Mr. Meadows copying a YouTube link with the message quote, "Why can't we just work with the Italian government?" The next day the President's Chief of Staff sent the YouTube link to Mr. Rosen who forwarded it to Mr. Donoghue.
Mr. Donoghue, did you watch this video?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I did, Congressman.
ADAM KINZINGER: How long was the video?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Approximately 20 minutes.
ADAM KINZINGER: Let's just take a look at a excerpt of that video, if we may. [Begin Videotape]
BRADLEY JOHNSON: What's being said out of Rome, out of Italy is that this was done in the US embassy. That there was a certain State Department guy whose name I don't know yet. I guess this is probably going to come out
in Italy at some point. And he was the mastermind — not the mastermind, but the — but the — anyway, the guy running the operation of changing the votes.
And that he was done — doing this in conjunction with some support from MI6, the CIA, and this Leonardo group. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Donoghue, what was your reaction when you watched that entire 20 minute video?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I emailed the acting attorney general and I said pure insanity, which was my impression of the video which was patently absurd.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Rosen, you were asked by Mr. Meadows to meet with Mr. Johnson, who is the person in that video, what was your reaction to that request?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: So ordinarily I'd get an email like this and there was no phone call. It would just come over the transom. But this one he — he called me, Mr. Meadows, and asked me to meet with Mr. Johnson. And I told him this whole thing about Italy had been debunked and that should be the end of that. And I certainly wasn't going to meet with — with this person.
And he initially seemed to accept that. He said, you know, why won't you meet with them? I said because if — if he has real evidence which this video doesn't show, he can walk into an FBI field office anywhere in the United States, there's 55 of them. And he said, Ok. But then he called me — me back a few minutes later and complained, and said, I didn't tell you, but this — this fellow Johnson is working with Rudy Giuliani.
And Mr. Giuliani is really offended that you think they have to go to a FBI field office. That's insulting. So couldn't — couldn't you just have the FBI or you meet with these guys? And by then I was somewhat agitated and told them that there was no way on Earth that I was going to do that. I wasn't going to meet with Mr. Johnson.
I certainly wasn't going to meet with Mr. Giuliani. I'd made that clear repeatedly. And so that's — that's the end of that. You know, don't — don't raise this with me again. And so, because Mr. Donoghue and I had been exchanging our views about this, I think it was, you know, 7:13 on a Friday night of New Year's Day, I had run out of patience.
And I sent the email that you're — you're talking about where I — I made pretty clear that I had no interest in doing anything further with this.
ADAM KINZINGER: Just to button this up, Mr. Donoghue, did you receive a follow up call from a Department of Defense official about this conspiracy?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I did. I believe it was that same day.
ADAM KINZINGER: Can you give details on that at all?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I received a telephone call from Kash Patel, who I know was a DOD official at that time, worked for, I believe, Acting Secretary of Defense Miller. And he didn't know much about it. He basically said, do you know anything about this Italy thing and what this is all about? And I informed him that the chief of staff had raised the issue with us in his office on December 29th, that we had looked into it a little bit, we had run the name that was provided to us by the chief of staff.
I learned that that individual is in custody in Italy. He had been arrested for a cyber offense of some sort in Italy. The allegation was that he had been exfiltrating data from his company. He was either an employee or a contractor of that company and he was in custody, that the whole thing was very, very murky at best, and the video was absurd.
But that we — we — the department were not going to have anything to do with it. And DOD should make up its own mind as to what they're going to do. But I made it clear to him that I didn't think it was anything worth pursuing.
ADAM KINZINGER: So you called the video absurd and despite the absurdity of that conspiracy theory, we learned that Mr. Meadows discussed it frequently in the White House and Mr. Meadows didn't let the matter go. The request went from the Department of Justice to the Secretary of Defense, Christopher Miller. As you'll hear, Secretary Miller actually reached out to a high ranking official based in Italy to follow up on this claim. [Begin Videotape]
CHRISTOPHER MILLER: The ask for him was can you call out the defense attache Rome and find out what the heck's going on? Because I'm getting all these weird crazy reports and probably the guy on the ground knows more than anything. [End Videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: The Select — Select Committee confirmed that a call was actually placed by Secretary Miller to the attache in Italy to investigate the claim that Italian satellites were switching votes from Trump to Biden. This is one of the best examples of the lengths to which the President — President Trump would go to stay in power, scouring the Internet to support his conspiracy theories shown here, as he told Mr. Donoghue in that December 27th call, quote, "you guys may not be following the Internet the way I do". President Trump's efforts to this point had failed.
Stonewalled by Mr. Rosen and Mr. Donoghue, President Trump had only one option, he needed to make Clarke acting attorney general Mr. Rosen, during a January 2nd meeting with Mr. Clark, did you confront him again about his contact with the President? And if so, can you describe that?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: So at this point, Mr. Clark had told us that the President had asked him to consider whether he would be willing to replace me supposedly on a timetable by Monday the fourth. And so I had told Mr. Clark, I thought he was making a colossal error in judgment, but I also hoped to persuade him to be more rational and to understood what we had understood that there's not a factual basis for the fraud assertions that are being made.
So at this meeting, Mr. Donoghue and I met with Mr. Clark. And I guess my — my hopes were disappointed and that Mr. Clark continue to express the view that he thought there was fraud even though he had not been a participant in the department's review of that. And that he was dissatisfied that we knew what we were doing.
So — but he had acknowledged that he had had further, I don't know if it was meeting or phone calls or what, but further discussion with the President despite having, you know, a week earlier said that if he, A, wouldn't do that and if he did, he — if he got an invitation to do that. He would let Richard Donoghue or me know.
So we had a — it was a contentious meeting where we were chastising him that he was insubordinate. He was out of line. He had not honored his own representations of what he would do. And he raised again that he thought that that letter should go out. And we were not receptive to that.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did he tell you in that the President had offered him the job of acting attorney general?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: That was a day later on — on the second. He said that the President had asked him to let him know if he'd be willing to take it. Subsequently, he told me that on the Sunday, the third, he told me that the timeline had moved up and that the President had offered him the job and that he was accepting it.
ADAM KINZINGER: Well, that's what that — what was your reaction to that?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Well, you know, on the one hand I wasn't going to accept being fired by my subordinate. So I wanted to talk to the President directly. With regard to the reason for that is I wanted to try to convince the President not to go down the wrong path that Mr. Clark seemed to be advocating. And it wasn't about me. There's only 17 days left in the administration at that point.
I would have been perfectly content to have either of the gentlemen on my left or right replace me if — if anybody wanted to do that. But I did not want for the Department of Justice to be put in a posture
where it would be doing things that were not consistent with the truth, were not consistent with its own appropriate role, or were not consistent with the Constitution.
So I did four things as soon as Mr. Clark left my office on that Sunday, the third. Number one, I called Mark Meadows and said I need to see the President right away And he was agreeable and set up a meeting for 6:15 that Sunday, so about 2 hours away. Two, I called Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel.
I told him what was going on and he said he would go into the White House to make sure he was at the meeting and he would be supporting the Justice Department's position as he had been doing consistently. Three, I called Steve Engel, who was — I was at the department. It was a Sunday, but there had been some reasons I needed to be there.
Mr. Engel, I called at home and asked him if he would come in and go to the meeting which he did and proved to be quite helpful. And then number four, I asked Rich Donoghue and Pat Hovickmeon [ph], who had previously been my chief of staff to get the department's senior leadership on a call and let them know what was going on and — which they did.
And then Eric Herschmann called me to tell me that he was going to go to the meeting and that he would be supporting the Department of Justice position as well. So I knew that the meeting was on course and that I would have a number of people supportive of the Department of Justice's approach and not supportive of Mr. Clark's approach.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did Mr. Clark ask you to continue to stay at the department?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: At that Sunday meeting, when he told me that he would be replacing me, he said that he had asked to see me alone because usually he had met with me and Mr. Donoghue because he thought it would be appropriate in light of what was happening to at least offer me that I could stay on as his deputy. I thought that was preposterous.
I told him that was nonsensical and that there was no universe where I was going to do that to stay on and support someone else doing things that were not consistent with what I thought should be done. So I — I didn't accept that offer, if I can put it that way.
ADAM KINZINGER: And during that meeting did Mr. Clark ask you to sign the Georgia letter?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: That was on the — the Saturday meeting, January 2nd that Mr. Donoghue and I had with him. He again raised with both of us that he wanted us to both to sign that letter actually.
ADAM KINZINGER: So in that meeting did Mr. Clark say he would turn down the President's offer if you reversed your position and signed the letter?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Yes.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did Mr. Clark — so you still refuse to sign and send that letter, I take it?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: That's right. I think Mr. Donoghue and I were both very consistent that there was no way we were going to sign that letter. And it didn't matter what Mr. Clark's, you know, proposition was in terms of - - of his own activities. We were not going to sign that letter as long as we were in charge of the Justice Department.
ADAM KINZINGER: Thank you for that. By the way, Mr. Donoghue, were you expecting to have to attend a meeting at the White House on Sunday, January 3rd?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: No. As the acting AG indicated, we had a meeting that afternoon that related to preparations for January 6th. So I was at the department, but I had no expectation of leaving the department. It was a
Sunday afternoon and I was there in civilian clothes, as we both were, and expected to have that meeting, do some other work, but I had no expectation of going to the White House that day.
ADAM KINZINGER: So let's ask, so prior to that Oval Office meeting, did you set up a conference call with senior leadership at the department. And if so, tell us about that call?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Yes. So obviously it was a bit of a scramble that afternoon to prepare for the Oval Office meeting. We had discussed on several occasions, the acting attorney general and I, whether we should expand the circle of people who knew what was going on. It was very important that Steve Engel know and that's why I reached out to Steve on December 28th because if Mr. Rosen were removed from the seat and the President did not immediately appoint someone else to serve as Attorney General, just by function of the department's chain of succession, Mr. Engel would be in the seat.
We wanted to make sure he knew what was going on should that occur. So the three of us knew. We also brought — brought Pat Hovickmeon [ph], so the four of us now, but no one else aside from Jeff Clark of course knew what was going on until late that Sunday afternoon. We chose to keep a close hold because we didn't want to create concern or panic in the Justice Department leadership.
But at this point, I asked the acting AG, what else can I do to help prepare for this meeting at the Oval Office? And he said, you and Pat should get the AAGs on the phone and it's time to let them know what's going on. Let's find out what they may do if there's a change in leadership because that will help inform the conversation at the Oval Office.
Pat Hovickmeon [ph] subsequently set up that meeting. We got most — not all, but most of the ages on the phone. We very quickly explain to them what the situation was. I told them I don't need an answer from you right now. I don't need an answer in this phone call. But if you have an answer, I need it in the next few minutes.
So call me, email me, text me, whatever it is. If you know what you would do if Jeff Clark is put in charge of the department and immediately Eric Dreibend, who was the AAG of the Civil Rights Division said I don't need to think about it, there's no way I'm staying. And then the other AAGs began
to chime in and in turn it all essentially said they would leave, they would resign in mass if the President made that change in the department leadership.
ADAM KINZINGER: Incredible. I'd like to look at the assistant attorney generals on the screen if we can pull that, have their pictures. Did every assistant attorney general you spoke to, as you said, agree to resign?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Makan Delrahim was not on the call only because we had some difficulty reaching him. But yes, the other people on the screen were on the call and all without hesitation said that they would resign.
ADAM KINZINGER: So as part of the Select Committee's investigation, we found that while Mr. Rosen, Mr. Donoghue, and Mr. Engel were preparing for their meeting at the White House, Jeff Clark and the president were in constant communication beginning at 7:00 AM. White House call logs obtained by the committee show that by 4:19 PM on January 3rd, the White House had already begun referring to Mr. Clark as the acting attorney general. As far as the White House was concerned, Mr. Clark was already at the top of the Justice Department.
Two hours later, DOJ leadership arrived at the White House. The select committee interviewed every person who was inside the room that — was inside the room during this Sunday evening Oval Office meeting. Mr. Cipollone told the committee that he was "unmistakably angry" during the meeting and that he, along with Eric Herschmann and Mr. Donoghue, "forcefully challenged Mr. Clark to produce evidence of his election fraud theories." Mr. Rosen, can you describe how that meeting started?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Yes. So, after some preliminaries, so we — we — Mr. Meadows had ushered us all in and then he left. So, Mr. Cipollone did some introductions and things. So, after some preliminaries, the president turned to me and he said, well, one thing we know is you, Rosen, you aren't going to do anything. You don't even agree with the — the claims of election fraud, and this other guy at least might do something.
And then I said, well, Mr. President, you're right that I'm not going to allow the Justice Department to do anything to try to overturn the election. That's true. But the reason for that is because that's what's consistent with the facts and the law, and that's what's required under the Constitution. So, that's the right answer and a good thing for the country, and therefore I submit it's the right thing for you, Mr. President.
And that kicked off another two hours of discussion, in which everyone in the room was in one way or another making different points but supportive of my approach for the Justice Department and critical of Mr. Clark.
ADAM KINZINGER: So, at some point, Mr. Donoghue comes in the room. Can you explain what led to him coming in the room?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Oh, I forgot about that. So, initially, in part I think because he was underdressed, we — and we had not arranged — we had not yet told the president that he was going to come in — the White House had had a list of who would be there. That did include Mr. Engel and the White House counsel and the deputy White House counsel, Mr. Herschmann.
We went in, and then we told the president, you know, maybe 10 minutes into the meeting or something, I forget how far in, that Mr. Donoghue was outside. And he said, well, bring him in. And then — then Mr. Donoghue came in and joined the meeting.
ADAM KINZINGER: So, Mr. Donoghue, you — you enter that room. Can you set the scene for us and describe the tone you walked into?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Yes. But if I could just back up one moment, Congressman, because you put the pictures up on the screen of the AAGs. I just want to make clear, one of the AAGs who was not on the screen was John Demers. John was the National Security Division AAG. John was on the call, but I prefaced a call by saying, John, we need you to stay in place.
National security is too important. We need to minimize the disruption. Whether you resign is entirely up to you, obviously, and we'll respect your decision either way. But I'm asking you, please stay in place, and he did. So, I don't want to leave the impression that he was not willing to resign, because I think he was.
ADAM KINZINGER: Great. Thank you. Thank you for that.
RICHARD DONOGHUE: So, with regard to entering the Oval Office, I was sitting in the hallway. An administrative assistant passed by. She asked me are you supposed to be in this meeting with the president? I said no, I'm simply here in case questions come up that other people don't have the answer to. And she walked away, and then came back probably 30 seconds later and said the president wants you in the meeting.
I proceed into the Oval Office. I took probably two or three steps in and I stopped because I was, as the AG said, not exactly properly attired. I was wearing jeans and muddy boots and an Army t-shirt, and I never would arrive in the Oval Office this way. I said Mr. President, I apologize. I'm sorry, I didn't know I was going to be here.
And he said no, no, no, just come in, come in, come in. And so, I went in. I attempted to take a seat on one of the couches that are behind the chairs arrayed in front of the president's desk. And he said, oh, no, no, no, you're going to be up here. And everyone kind of laughed and they moved the chairs a little bit.
Someone from the White House counsel's office picked up a spare chair and put it directly in front of the president, and I took that seat.
ADAM KINZINGER: Was it — was there discussion about Mr. Clark? Can you — can you kind of enlighten some of what that discussion was?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Yes. So, the conversation at this point had moved beyond the specific allegations, whether it was State Farm Arena or Antrim County or Pennsylvania or whatever. We had discussed those repeatedly and the converse — that was backdrop to the conversation. But the conversation at this point was really about whether the president should remove Jeff Rosen and replace him with Jeff Clark.
And everyone in the room I think understood that that meant that letter would go out. So, that was the focus. It was about a two and a half hour meeting after I entered. And so, there were discussions about the pros and cons of doing that. Early on, the president said what do I have to lose? And it was actually a good opening because I said, Mr. President, you have a great deal to lose.
And I began to explain to him what he had to lose and what the country had to lose and what the department had to lose, and this was not in anyone's best interest. That conversation went on for some time. Everyone essentially chimed in with their own thoughts, all of which were consistent about how damaging this would be to the country, to the department, to the administration, to him personally.
And at some point, the conversation turned to whether Jeff Clark was even qualified, competent to run the Justice Department, which in my mind he clearly was not. And it was a heated conversation. I thought it was useful to point out to the president that Jeff Clark simply didn't have the skills, the ability, and the experience to run the department.
And so, I said, Mr. President, you're talking about putting a man in that seat who has never tried a criminal case, who has never conducted a criminal investigation. He's telling you that he's going to take charge of the department, 115,000 employees, including the entire FBI, and turn the place on a dime and conduct nationwide criminal investigations that will produce results in a matter of days.
It's impossible. It's absurd. It's not going to happen and it's going to fail. He has never been in front of a trial jury, a grand jury. He's never even been to Chris Wray's office. I said at one point, if you walked into Chris Wray's office, one, would you know how to get there? And two, if you got there, would he even know who you are?
And do you really think that the FBI is going to suddenly start following your orders? It's not going to happen. He's not competent. And that's the — the point at which Mr. Clark tried to defend himself by saying, well, I've been involved in very significant civil and environmental litigation. I've argued many appeals in appellate courts and things of that nature.
And then I pointed out that, yes, he was an environmental lawyer, and I didn't think that was appropriate background to be running in the United States Justice Department.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did anybody in there support Mr. Clark?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: No one.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Rosen, it was you he was going to replace. So, what was your view about the president's plan to appoint Mr. Clark?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Well — well, as I alluded to earlier, the issue really wasn't about me. It was — it would have been fine, as I said, to have had Rich Donoghue replace me. I would have said great, I — I get 17 days vacation or something. But the issue was the use of the Justice Department, and it's just so important that the Justice Department adhere to the facts and the law.
That's what it's there to do, and that's what our constitutional role was. And so, if the Justice Department gets out of the role that it's supposed to play, that's really bad for our country. And I don't know of a simpler way to say that. And when you damage our fundamental institutions, it's not easy to repair them.
So, I thought this was a really important issue, to try to make sure that the Justice Department was able to stay on the right course.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Donoghue, did — did you eventually tell the president that mass resignations would occur if he installed Mr. Clark and what the consequences would be?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Yes. So, this was in line with the president's saying what do I have to lose? And along those lines, he said, so suppose I do this. Suppose I replace him, Jeff Rosen, with him, Jeff Clark? What would you do? And I said, Mr. President, I would resign immediately. I'm not working one minute for this guy, who I had just declared was completely incompetent.
And so, the president immediately turned to — to Mr. Engel. And he said, Steve, you wouldn't resign, would you? And he said absolutely I would, Mr. President. You leave me no choice. And — and then I said, and we're not the only ones. No one cares if we resign. If Steve and I go, that's fine. It doesn't matter.
But I'm telling you what's going to happen. You're going to lose your entire department leadership. Every single AAG will walk out on you. Your entire department leadership will walk out within hours. And I don't know what happens after that. I don't know what the United States attorneys are going to do. We have US attorneys in districts across the country, and my guess would be that many of them would have resigned.
And that would then have led to resignations across the department in Washington. And I said, Mr. President, within 24, 48, 72 hours, you could have hundreds and hundreds of resignations of the leadership of your entire Justice Department because of your actions. What's that going to say about you?
ADAM KINZINGER: Wow. Mr. Engel, what was — can you describe what your reaction was to that?
STEVEN ENGEL: Yeah. No, I — I think when the president — my recollection is that when the president turned to me and said, Steve, you wouldn't leave, would you, I said, Mr. President, I've been with you through four attorneys general, including two acting as attorney general, but I couldn't be part of this. And then the other thing that I said was that, you know, look, all anyone is going to sort of think about when they see this — no one is going to read this letter.
All anyone is going to think is that you went through two attorneys general in two weeks until you found the environmental guy to sign this thing. And so, the story is not going to be that the Department of Justice has found massive corruption that would have changed the result of the election. It's going to be the disaster of Jeff Clark.
And I think at that point Pat Cipollone said, yeah, this is a murder suicide pact, this letter.
RICHARD DONOGHUE: And I would — I would note too, Congressman, that it was in this part of the conversation where Steve pointed out that Jeff Clark would be left leading a graveyard, and that — that comment clearly had an impact on the president. The leadership will be gone. Jeff Clark will be left leading a graveyard.
STEVEN ENGEL: Again, the — the premise that — which, as Mr. Donohue has said, was that Mr. Clark could come in and take over the Department of Justice and do something different was just an absurd premise. And all he was doing, Mr. Clark, by putting himself forward was blowing himself up. And, you know, if the president were to have gone that course, you know, it would have been a grievous error for the president as well.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Cipollone, the White House counsel, told the committee that Mr. Engel's response had a noticeable impact on the president, that this was a turning point in the conversation. Mr. Donohue, towards the end of this meeting, did the president ask you what was going to happen to Mr. Clark?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: He did. When we finally got to the — I would say the last 15 minutes of the meeting, the president's decision was apparent. He announced it. Jeff Clark tried to scrape his way back and — and asked the president to reconsider. The president doubled down, said no, I've made my decision. That's it. We're not going to do it. And then he turned to me and said, so what happens to him now, meaning Mr. Clark.
And he understood that Mr. Clark reported to me. And I — I didn't initially understand the question. I - - I said Mr. President? He said, are you going to fire him? And I said I don't have the authority to fire him. He's a Senate confirmed assistant attorney general. And he said, well, who has the authority to fire him?
And I said only you do, sir. And he said, well, I'm not going to fire him. I said Alright. Well, then we should all go back to work.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did you get a call from the president later that night?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I did, I don't know, probably 90 minutes later or something like that.
ADAM KINZINGER: What was that about?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: The president — at this — at this point, we left the White House, reconvened at the department. I left the department. I was back in my apartment. My cell phone rang. It was the president, and he had information about a truck supposedly full of shredded ballots in Georgia that was in the custody of an ICE agent whose name he had.
I told him that ICE was part of Department Homeland Security. I hadn't heard about this. If Department of Homeland Security needed our assistance, we of course would provide it. But it was really up to DHS to make a call if their agent was involved. And he said fine, I understand. Can you just make sure that Ken, meaning Ken Cuccinelli, knows about this?
I said fine, I would pass that along to him. I eventually contacted Ken Cuccinelli later that evening. And I said this is what the president told me. If you guys have anything you think should be brought to our attention, let me know. And he said thank you, and that was it.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Cipollone left the meeting convinced the president would not appoint Mr. Clark, but he didn't think the president had actually accepted the truth about the election. Sure enough, all the same debunked theories appeared in his speech at the Ellipse three days later. [Begin videotape]
DONALD TRUMP: In the state of Arizona, over 36,000 ballots were illegally cast by non-citizens. 11,600 more ballots than votes were counted, more than there were actual voters. You see that? In Wisconsin, corrupt Democrat run cities deployed more than 500 illegal, unmanned, unsecured drop boxes, which collected a minimum of 91,000 unlawful votes. [End videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Donohue, Mr. Rosen, Mr. Engel, and others stopped President Trump's efforts at least temporarily. Yet the message President Trump and his Republican allies pushed throughout December made its way to his supporters anyway, and they keep up the pressure campaign on the way to storming the Capitol on January 6th? Mr. Rosen, were you at the Department of Justice on January 6th?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Yes, I was there all day.
ADAM KINZINGER: Once the Capitol was under attack, I understand that you communicated with fellow Cabinet members and Capitol Hill leadership. Can you tell us who you spoke to?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Yeah, I was basically on the phone virtually nonstop all day, some calls with our own DOJ folks, some with cabinet counterparts at DHS and — and Defense and Interior, some with senior White House officials and with a number of Congressional leaders. I received calls from Speaker Pelosi, from Leader McCarthy, from Leader Schumer.
I believe Leader McConnell's chief of staff called, a number of other members of Congress as well. And the — you know, the basic thrust of the calls with the members of Congress was there's a, you know, dire situation here and — and can you help? And I reported to them that we were, on a very urgent basis, sending help from the department.
We — we wound up sending over 500 agents and officers from FBI, ATF, and the U.S. Marshals to assist with restoring order at the Capitol. So, had a number of calls. As I say, it was more or less nonstop all afternoon.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did you speak to the vice president that day?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Yes, twice. The --
ADAM KINZINGER: No. Please, go ahead.
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: Well, I was gonna say, the — the first call was a one on one discussion, somewhat akin to the Congressional leadership calls, updating him on what we were doing to assist. And the — the second call was a conference call around 7:00 with the vice president, Congressional leaders, senior White House staff, some other cabinet officials to address that order appeared to be close to being restored, or restored but security still being determined, and the question being what time could the Congress reassemble.
And the answer was 8:00. And thankfully, Congress did reassemble and complete its constitutional duty. There was one highlight of that second call with the vice president, which is Mr. Donoghue had gone to the rotunda of the Capitol to be able to give firsthand account, and was able to tell the — the folks on the call, including the vice president, that we thought 8:00 would work.
ADAM KINZINGER: Did you speak to the president on January 6th?
JEFFREY A. ROSEN: No. I spoke to a number of senior White House officials, but not the president.
ADAM KINZINGER: Mr. Donoghue, on January 6th, we know from Mr. Rosen that you helped in the effort to reconvene joint session — the joint session. Is that correct?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: Yes, sir.
ADAM KINZINGER: We see here in a video that we're going to play now you arriving with your security detail to help secure the Capitol. Mr. Donohue, 30 minutes after you arrived at the Capitol, did you lead a briefing for the vice president?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I'm not sure exactly what the timeframe was, but I did participate in the call and participate in briefing the vice president, as well as the Congressional leadership that night, yes.
ADAM KINZINGER: Where'd you conduct that call at?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I was in an office. I'm not entirely sure where it was. My detail found it because the acoustics in the rotunda were such that it wasn't really conductive to having a call, so they found an office. We went to that office, and I believe I participated in two phone calls, one at 1801 and one at 1900 that night from that office.
ADAM KINZINGER: What time did you actually end up leaving the Capitol?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: I waited until the Senate was back in session, which I believe they were gaveled in a few minutes after 8:00 PM. And once they were back in session and we were confident that the entire facility was secured and cleared, that there were no individuals hiding in closets or under desks, that there were no IEDs or other suspicious devices left behind, I left minutes later.
I was probably gone by 8:30.
ADAM KINZINGER: And Mr. Donoghue, did you ever hear from President Trump that day?
RICHARD DONOGHUE: No. Like the AAG — the acting AG, I spoke to Pat Cipollone and Mark Meadows and the vice president and the Congressional leadership, but I never spoke to the president that day.
ADAM KINZINGER: So, in today's hearing, we've showcased the efforts of the Americans before us to stand up for democracy. Mr. Rosen, Mr. Donohue stayed steadfastly committed to the oath they take as officials in the Department of Justice. On January 6th itself, they assisted during the attack while our commander in chief stayed silent.
Their bravery is a high moment in the sorted story of what led to January 6th. My colleagues and I up here also take an oath. Some of them failed to uphold theirs, and instead chose to spread the big lie. Days after the tragic events of January 6th, some of these same Republican members requested pardons in the waning days of the Trump administration.
Five days after the attack on the Capitol, Representative Mo Brooks sent the email on the screen now. As you see, he emailed the White House "Pursuant to a request from Matt Gaetz, requesting a pardon for Representative Gaetz himself and unnamed others." Witnesses told the Select Committee that the president considered offering pardons to a wide range of individuals connected to the president.
Let's listen to some of that testimony. [Begin videotape]
UNKNOWN: And was Representative Gaetz requesting a pardon?
ERIC HERSCHMANN: I believe so. The — the general tone was we may get prosecuted because we were defensive of, you know, the president's positions on these things. The pardon that he was discussing requesting was as broad as you can describe, from beginning — I remember he's — from the beginning of time up until today for any and all things.
Then he mentioned Nixon. And I said Nixon's pardon was never nearly that broad.
UNKNOWN: And are you aware of any members of Congress seeking pardons?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: I guess Mr. Gaetz and Mr. Brooks, I know, have both advocated for there'd be a blanket pardon for members involved in that meeting, and a — a handful of other members that weren't at the December 21st meeting as the presumptive pardons. Mr. Gaetz was personally pushing for a pardon, and he was doing so since early December.
I'm not sure why Mr. Gaetz would reach out to me to ask if he could have a meeting with Mr. Meadows about receiving a presidential pardon.
UNKNOWN: Did they all contact you?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: Not all of them, but several of them did.
UNKNOWN: So, you mentioned Mr. Gaetz, Mr. Brooks.
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: Mr. Biggs did. Mr. Jordan talked about Congressional pardons, but he never asked me for one. It was more for an update on whether the White House was going to pardon members of Congress. Mr. Gohmert asked for one as well. Mr. Perry asked for a pardon, too. I'm sorry.
UNKNOWN: Mr. Perry? Did he talk to you directly?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: Yes, he did.
UNKNOWN: Did Marjorie Taylor Greene contact you?
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON: No, she didn't contact me about it. I heard that she had asked White House Counsel's Office for a pardon from Mr. Philbin, but I didn't frequently communicate with Ms. Greene.
UNKNOWN: Are you aware of any conversations or communications regarding the possibility of giving Congressman Matt Gaetz a pardon?
JOHN MCENTEE: I know he had asked for it, but I don't know if he ever received one or what happened with it.
UNKNOWN: How do you know that Congressman Gaetz asked for a pardon?
JOHN MCENTEE: He told me.
UNKNOWN: Tell us about that.
JOHN MCENTEE: He told me he'd asked Meadows for a pardon.
UNKNOWN: Were you involved in or did you witness any conversations about the possibility of a blanket pardon for everyone involved in January 6th?
JOHN MCENTEE: I had heard that mentioned, yeah.
UNKNOWN: Do you know whether the president had any conversations about potentially pardoning any family members?
JOHN MCENTEE: I know he had hinted at a blanket pardon for the January 6th thing for anybody. But I think he had for all the staff and everyone involved not with January 6th, but just before he left office. I know he had talked about that. [End videotape]
ADAM KINZINGER: The only reason I know to ask for a pardon is because you think you've committed a crime. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.
BENNIE THOMPSON: I want to thank our witnesses for joining us today. The members of the Select Committee may have additional questions for today's witnesses, and we ask that you respond expeditiously in writing to these questions. Without objection, members will be permitted ten business days to submit statements for the record, including opening remarks and additional questions for the witnesses.
Without objection, the Chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois for a closing statement.
ADAM KINZINGER: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Justice Department lawyers are not the president's personal lawyers. We count on them to be on the side of the law and to defend the best interest of the United States, not the best interest of any political campaign. That's how it's been since the department was founded soon after the Civil War. Justice Department lawyers are supposed to play it 100 percent straight.
President Trump tried to erase his loss at the ballot box by parachuting an unqualified man into the top job at Justice. It was a power play to win at all costs with no regard for the will of the American people. It was about ignoring millions of votes, ignore them, throw them out, label them fraudulent, corrupt, illegal, whatever.
Facts were clearly just an inconvenience. From the Oval Office, President Trump urged others to bring his big lie to life. He begged just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican Congressmen. He didn't care what the department's investigations proved. What good were facts when they would only confirm his loss?
And it's no surprise that all the far out, fully fabricated whack job conspiracy theories collapsed under even the slightest scrutiny. That insanity went from the Internet to the highest levels of government in no time. The bottom line, the most senior leadership of the Justice Department, from Attorney General Bill Barr to Jeff Rosen, his successor, and his deputy, Rich Donoghue, everyone except Jeff Clark was telling President Trump the very same thing.
The conspiracy theories were false. The allegation of a stolen election was a lie. The data left no room for doubt, nothing to question, and the Constitution left no room for President Trump to change the outcome of the election. But we're here today because the facts were irrelevant to President Trump. It was about protecting his very real power and very fragile ego, even if it required recklessly undermining our in — our entire electoral system by wildly casting baseless doubt upon it. In short, he was willing to sacrifice our republic to prolong his presidency.
I can imagine no more dishonorable act by a president. We owe a great debt of gratitude to these men you've heard from here today, real leaders who stood for justice when it was in grave peril, who put their country first. When the leader of the free world demanded otherwise, they threatened to resign rather than corrupt our democracy.
And thanks largely to each of them, President Trump's coup failed. Contrast that to Jeff Clark, who would do exactly what the president wanted, say there was massive fraud, forget the facts and leave the rest to President Trump's Congressional friends. Mr. Clark refused to cooperate with this committee. He pled the fifth over 125 times.
Why risk self in criminal — in — incrimination? And President Trump's Congressional friends, some of them are angling for pardons? They knew that every bit of what they did was a lie and it was wrong. That's all the more reason to respect those who came here to testify today. We thank them for their unflinching service in the face of incredible pressure.
As it's said, the only thing necessary for evil to succeed is good men to do nothing. Thankfully, there were good people in the Department of Justice. You heard from other good people too on Tuesday. They too defended us. But I'm still worried that not enough has changed to prevent this from happening again.
The oath that we take has to mean something. It has to cut to the core of who we are and be the driving force of our service to this nation. We on this committee, we may be able to shine light on the darkness, but that is not enough.
ADAM KINZINGER: It's now up to every American, now and in the future, to stand for truth, to reject the lies wherever we conront them. And our towns, and our capitals, and our friendships, and our families, and at the ballot box, and within our own minds and hearts. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.
BENNIE THOMPSON: Without objection, the Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Wyoming, Ms. Cheney, for a closing statement.
LIZ CHENEY: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And — and I again want to thank the witnesses for being here today. After today, I suspect that there will be some who label you agents of the Deep State or something else conspiratorial or nonsensical meant to justify ignoring what you said today. ignoring the facts. That maybe the short term cost of acting honorably and telling the truth.
But your actions should have an important long term impact. They will help keep us on the course set by the framers of our Constitution. Let me paraphrase the words of John Adams and others: whether ours shall continue to be a government of laws and not of men is ultimately for the American people to decide.
And let me also today make a broader statement to millions of Americans who put their trust in Donald Trump. In these hearings so far, you've heard from more than a dozen Republicans who've told you what actually happened in the weeks before January 6th. You will hear from more in the hearings to come. Several of them served Donald Trump in his Administration, others in his campaign.
Others have been conservative Republicans for their entire careers. It can be difficult to accept that President Trump abused your trust, that he deceived you. Many will invent excuses to ignore that fact. But that is a fact. I wish it weren't true, but it is. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.
BENNIE THOMPSON: Again, I thank our witnesses and thank my colleagues for this hearing. As we conclude our fifth hearing in this series, I want to remind the American people of a few things the committee has shown. Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Top Republican officials who supported Trump knew that he lost and told him he lost.
Trump knew he lost. Those who say the election was affected by widespread voter fraud are lying. They were lying in 2020, they were lying in 2021, and indeed they are lying today. Donald Trump went to court. That's the right any candidate seeking to challenge the outcome of an election must do. Donald Trump lost in court dozens and dozens of [times]. He lost in part because there was no evidence that voter fraud had any impact on the results of the election.
To borrow a phrase from our witness earlier this week, Mr. Bowers, all he had was theories and no evidence. As I've said, if you're running for office in the United States that's the end of the line. You accept the court's judgment, you concede the race, you respect the rule of law and the will of the voters.
But for Donald Trump that wasn't the end of the line. Not even close. The voters refused to keep him in office. The courts refused to keep him in office. But he continued to lie. And he went in search of anyone who would go along with his scheme. And we have shown today he pressured the Justice Department to act as an arm of his reelection campaign.
He hoped law enforcement officials would give the appearance of legitimacy to his lies so he and his allies had some veneer of credibility when they told the country that the election was stolen. Earlier this week we showed how Donald Trump brought the weight of the presidency down on local and state officials who were trying to do their jobs and ultimately did.
They investigated his claims and found them to be false. In the end, they endured Trump's pressure campaign at great risk to themselves and their loved ones. And of course there was a scheme to get the former Vice President, Mike Pence, to violate the law and the Constitution by rejecting the Electoral College votes on January 6th and blocking the peaceful transfer of power.
I mentioned the former Vice President last because as we showed, when he refused to bow to the pressure in those critical moments on January 6th, there was a backup plan for stopping the transfer of power: the mob and their vile threats. Up to this point, we've shown the inner workings of what was essentially a political coup, an attempt to use the powers of the government from the local level all the way up to overturn the results of the election.
Find me the votes. Send fake electors. Just say the election was corrupt. Along the way we saw threats of violence. We saw what some people were willing to do. In the service of the nation? The Constitution? No. In service of Donald Trump. When the Select Committee continues this series of hearings, we're going to show how Donald Trump tapped into the threat of violence, how he summoned the mob to Washington, and how after corruption and political pressure failed to keep Donald Trump in office, violence became the last option.
Our investigation is ongoing. Those hearings have spurred an influx of new information that the committee and our investigators are working to assess. We are committed to presenting the American people with the most complete information possible. That will be our aim when we reconvene in the coming weeks.
The Chair, however, requests those in the hearing room remain seated until the Capitol Police have escorted members from the room. Without objection, the committee stands to adjourned.

A creepy stalker has been showing up at the same Brooklyn subway station to harass an MTA employee who works there, police said Thursday.
The man paid several visits to the 33-year-old woman between April 3 and 11 while she was working on the mezzanine level of the Parkside Avenue Q train station in Prospect Leffert Gardens, cops said.
Cell phone video shows the man walk up to what appears to be a clerk’s both and leer at the woman as he presses his hand against the glass and points at her.
His visits were meant to “intentionally and repeatedly” put the woman in fear for her safety, according to an NYPD statement.
“Stalking transit workers is unacceptable and endangers their safety. Incidents like this are why we appreciate Mayor Adams’ and Police Commissioner (Keechant) Sewell’s commitment to having visibly deployed law enforcement in the subway system keeping riders and MTA workers safe,” MTA spokesman Sean Butler said Thursday.
Police describe the man as about 40 years old, 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, with a medium build, a dark complexion, brown eyes and short black hair. He wore dark clothing and a black winter hat.
Cops are asking anyone with information about the man to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Oakland starter Frankie Montas took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning, then reliever A.J. Puk threw a pair of run-scoring wild pitches with two outs in the ninth that gave the Seattle Mariners a 2-1 win over the Athletics on Thursday.
The Mariners loaded the bases with three walks and rallied on Puk’s wayward tosses to complete a three-game sweep. Seattle won with two hits, both in the eighth.
“It’s not the best win, not the cleanest win. But it’s a win,” Mariners first baseman Ty France said.
Before the wild ninth, it seemed the 29-year-old Montas would be the story of the day.
Montas didn’t allow a hit until Adam Frazier lined a clean single to left field with two outs in the eighth. Montas gave up another hit and was pulled after the inning.
Montas struck out eight in a season-high eight innings, and exited with a 1-0 lead — he has received either one or zero runs of support in 11 of his 15 starts. He is expected to be among the starting pitchers available as the Aug. 2 trade deadline approaches.
With regular closer Dany Jimenez out with a shoulder injury, Zach Jackson (1-2) entered for the ninth and walked two before Puk entered with two outs and two on.
Puk walked pinch-hitter Kevin Padlo to load the bases before throwing wild pitches that allowed Dylan Moore and Jesse Winker to score.
“He came in and couldn’t find the zone,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “It’s uncharacteristic so far this year. He’s been throwing strikes. Unfortunately today, he couldn’t find the fastball.”
Paul Sewald retired the A’s in order in the bottom of the ninth for his fifth save. The Mariners have won 11 of their past 12 at the Oakland Coliseum.
The A’s are 3-16 in June and have the AL’s worst record at 23-48.
Montas hit 98 mph with his fastball and said he had a good feel for his cutter too. He did not second-guess Kotsay’s decision to pull him after the eighth at 102 pitches.
“I felt like I did my job (finishing) the eighth,” Montas said. “I had 102 pitches. That’s kind of a lot.”
Seattle ace Robbie Ray limited the A’s to four hits and struck out six over six innings. Oakland scored in the first when Christian Bethancourt hit an RBI single to snap a 0-for-12 slump.
Reliever Diego Castillo (4-1) got the win.
France, enjoying an All-Star caliber first half of the season, left the game in the bottom of the fifth with an injured left elbow when he collided with Oakland’s Sheldon Neuse while taking a throw at the bag.
France’s left hand bent back and his glove came off as he made contact with Neuse, causing France to fall to the ground in pain.
After the game, he said X-rays on his elbow came out clean and that he’s hoping to avoid the injured list.
“We did all the tests, the strength was there,” France said. “We’ll see how it feels in the morning.”
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: Seattle announced that C Tom Murphy (dislocated left shoulder) will have surgery and miss the rest of the season. He’s been sidelined since getting injured May 7 on a play at the plate. “He tried to do everything he could to get back,” manager Scott Servais said. “He did a PRP injection, he did a number of different treatments to try to get it back and going. It just wasn’t taking.”
Athletics: OF Stephen Piscotty (strained left calf) will play a third rehab game Friday for Triple-A Las Vegas. Kotsay said reports have been good but did not give a timetable for Piscotty’s return to the active roster.
ROSTER MOVE

The president just mettled with animal farmers in California, but, maybe more significantly, with animal rights activists in the state. According to the Chronicle, the Biden administration asked the Supreme Court to reinstate pork producers’ lawsuit against Proposition 12, a law setting minimum cage standards for pigs, chickens, and veal calves. The companies who brought the suit— the National Pork Producers Council and the National Farm Bureau Federation — argue the law interferes too greatly with transnational commerce. The administration, for what it’s worth, is arguing courts should not have dismissed the suit, not that the law itself is unconstitutional. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642404549588/kfbk-morning-news-show-recap-monday-june-20th | 2022-06-24T00:54:50Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642404549588/kfbk-morning-news-show-recap-monday-june-20th | false | null |
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642434656319/area-boys-volleyball-rankings-final | 2022-06-24T00:56:58Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642434656319/area-boys-volleyball-rankings-final | false | null |
NEW YORK — The Houston Rockets selected Auburn's Jabari Smith Jr. with the No. 3 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.
The Magic took Duke's Paolo Banchero first overall and the Thunder took Chet Holmgren, from Gonzaga, No. 2.
Smith Jr. was one of three first-round picks the Rockets had in this year’s draft. Houston also had the 17th pick, which the team received as part of the trade for James Harden, and the 26th pick but whoever is drafted in that slot will go to the Dallas Mavericks once the trade for center Christian Wood is official.
The Rockets have finished with the NBA’s worst record the last two seasons after reaching the playoffs in each of the previous eight seasons. After trading Harden and the rest of their established stars, Houston went all in on the rebuild, looking to develop young draft picks to bring the team back into contention.
Smith Jr. comes to Houston after the power forward averaged 16.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and two assists per game to win SEC freshman of the year, All-SEC first-team and second-team All-America honors.
Green had a solid rookie year, starting 67 games and averaging 17.3 points, 2.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds last season. Green was one of four first-round picks the Rockets had last season, as they also added Alperen Sengun at 16, Usman Garuba with the 23rd pick and Josh Christopher at 24.
Houston is counting on Sengun to be its long-term solution at center after dealing Wood. He played mostly a reserve role last season, appearing in 72 games with 13 starts. The Turkish player averaged 9.6 points and 5.5 rebounds as a rookie.
Christopher also contributed off the bench last season, averaging 7.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and two assists. Garuba played in just 24 games as a rookie after missing significant time with a broken wrist.
The Rockets will expect Smith Jr. to play immediately as they move on from Wood, who led the team in scoring in each of the last two seasons. If the 19-year-old starts as expected, the team will field an extraordinarily young starting lineup with four players under 22. | https://www.khou.com/article/sports/nba/rockets/rockets-pick-jabari-smith-jr-2022-nba-draft/285-5051b80b-8901-4c2b-b70f-54ff88428bf0 | 2022-06-24T01:00:04Z | https://www.khou.com/article/sports/nba/rockets/rockets-pick-jabari-smith-jr-2022-nba-draft/285-5051b80b-8901-4c2b-b70f-54ff88428bf0 | true | 3 |

Brattleboro Museum & Art Center is among six institutions in Vermont and New York awarded a total of $800,000 in grants from the Wolf Kahn Foundation and the Emily Mason | Alice Trumbull Mason Foundation (the distinct organization devoted to the legacy of Emily and her mother).
Following the $8.1M single-seller Christie’s sale of works from the couple’s art collection in May 2021, the gift round marks the first joint philanthropic initiative of the two sister foundations and pays homage to Emily Mason and Wolf Kahn’s personal experiences and collective passions across five intersecting themes: New York City, access to arts education, Vermont, gardens and the natural world, and printmaking.
The grant recipients’ focus areas reflect the life that Mason and Kahn built together as prolific, academically influential artists living between New York City and Vermont, from their 1956 introduction until Mason’s 2019 death.
The Vermont landscape is pervasive in Kahn’s work and the basis for some of his most vibrant compositions.
“Wolf Kahn is to Southern Vermont what Georgia O’Keeffe is to the New Mexico high desert and Claude Monet is to the French countryside,” said Danny Lichtenfeld, director of Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, in a news release.
The other winners, announced Wednesday, are Vermont Studio Center, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop), New York Botanical Garden, International Printing Center New York and Hunter College (Advanced Curatorial Certificate Program). | https://www.reformer.com/arts_and_culture/wolf-kahn-emily-mason-foundations-award-800k/article_68c0f8c6-f277-11ec-9f92-bf1ab0b0c09e.html | 2022-06-24T01:05:59Z | https://www.reformer.com/arts_and_culture/wolf-kahn-emily-mason-foundations-award-800k/article_68c0f8c6-f277-11ec-9f92-bf1ab0b0c09e.html | false | 1 |
Inaugural festival 'aims to inspire a new generation'
- Credit: Mick Howes
Award-winning, best-selling authors and illustrators will all converge on a market town next month as a "spectacular" festival takes centre stage.
The inaugural Dog-Eared Children’s Book Festival will be held at the Fisher Theatre in Bungay on July 2 - with organisers encouraging visitors to "come curious - go home inspired!"
With the festival hosted by Dog-Eared Creatives - a new arts hub, focussed on children’s book illustration - it has been co-founded by Pam Smy and James Mayhew, who both live in Bungay.
An array of prize-winning, best-selling speakers have been lined up for the festival - from BBC Radio 4’s Zeb Soanes, who hails from Lowestoft and is author of Gaspard the Fox, to popular illustrator Polly Dunbar, who lives in Beccles, and Matt Robertson.
Joining them in the line up are Rosie Haine, Vicci Crossman, James Mayhew, Pam Smy and musician Chris Warner.
Mr Mayhew said: “The name 'Dog-Eared' is a little reference to the famous Black Dog of Bungay - while a dog-eared book is a much loved book.
“Suffolk and Norfolk are rich both in folklore and legend - the perfect place to launch a festival of stories, illustrations and books, and we hope to inspire a new generation of readers, writers and would-be illustrators, with this fantastic opportunity to meet some truly inspirational and internationally renowned talents”.

Specialist book sellers from the Norfolk Children Book Centre will also provide a pop-up book shop on the day - so your favourite authors and illustrators will be able to autograph a book.
There are five talks during the day, which starts at 10am.
Pam Smy said: “The festival will feature live drawings of dinosaurs, a talk about some of the most powerful queens in history, celebrations of bodies in all their variety, a performance of Gaspard the Fox with live music and art - plus you’ll also discover the secrets of how a book is made, and what inspires authors and illustrators today.
"We’re so excited to welcome such renowned speakers to Bungay.”
Tickets cost £4 for children and £6 for adults and can be purchased from the Fisher Theatre website. Access to the bookshop is free.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators have accused Harley-Davidson and Westinghouse of imposing illegal warranty terms on customers and ordered them to fix their warranties and ensure that their dealers compete fairly with independent repair-makers.
The companies have imposed illegal warranty terms that voided customer warranties if they used anyone other than the companies and their authorized dealers to get parts or repairs — restricting their options and costing them more money, the Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday in actions against the Milwaukee motorcycle maker and MWE Investments, which makes Westinghouse-brand outdoor power generators and related equipment.
Under a proposed consent agreement with the agency, the companies will be prohibited from telling customers that their warranties will be voided if they use third-party services or parts, or that they should only use branded parts or authorized service providers.
The companies also will be required to add specific language to their warranties recognizing consumers’ right to repair: “Taking your product to be serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of (company name) will not void this warranty. Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty.”
The companies must send and post notices telling customers that their warranties will remain in effect even if they buy aftermarket parts or get service from independent repair-makers. They must direct their authorized dealers to remove deceptive display materials, train employees, and not promote branded parts and dealers over third parties.
Last year, the FTC adopted a policy statement supporting the “right to repair” that pledged beefed-up enforcement efforts and opened the way to new regulations. The regulators maintained that anti-competitive restrictions have steered consumers into isolated repair networks or led them to replace products before the end of their useful lives. The idea was to make Americans freer to repair their broken cellphones, computers, videogame consoles or even tractors themselves, or to use independent repair shops.
“Consumers deserve choices when it comes to repairing their products, and independent dealers deserve a chance to compete,” Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s consumer protection bureau, said in a prepared statement Thursday. “These orders require Harley and Westinghouse to fix their warranties, come clean with consumers and ensure fair competition with independent providers. Other companies that squelch consumers’ right to repair should take notice.”
Unavailable parts, instruction manuals and diagnostic software and tools, product design restrictions and locks on software embedded in devices have made many consumer products harder to fix and maintain, regulators and industry critics say. Do-it-yourself repairs often require specialized tools, hard-to-obtain parts and access to diagnostic software that’s guarded by manufacturers.
“The rubber is hitting the road on the FTC’s new focus on protecting your right to repair,” Nathan Proctor, senior right-to-repair campaign director for U.S. Public Interest Research Group, said in a statement. “Harley-Davidson and Westinghouse are not the only companies that use the threat of a voided warranty to restrict repair. The FTC’s actions … send a clear signal that it’s time to stop violating consumer rights and honor right-to-repair protections.”
Spokespeople for Harley-Davidson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment; Westinghouse spokespeople couldn’t be reached.
The proposed consent agreement will be opened to public comment for 30 days, after which the FTC will decide whether to make it final.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un doubled-down on his nuclear arms buildup to overwhelm “hostile forces” at a key meeting where military leaders approved unspecified new operational duties for front-line army units.
Members of the ruling Workers’ Party’s Central Military Commission decided to supplement an “important military action plan” on the duties of front-line troops and further strengthen the country’s nuclear war deterrent, state media said Friday.
North Korea hasn’t specified the new operational duties for front-line army units, but analysts say the country could be planning to deploy battlefield nuclear weapons targeting rival South Korea along their tense border.
While North Korea's pursuit of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles that could reach the U.S. mainland gets much of the international attention, it is also developing a variety of nuclear-capable short-range missiles that can target South Korea. Experts say its rhetoric around those missiles communicates a threat to proactively use them in warfare to blunt the stronger conventional forces of South Korea and the United States. About 28,500 U.S. troops are stationed in the South to deter aggression from the North.
Kim during the military commission's three-day meeting that ended Thursday called for his entire army to “go all out” in carrying out the plans to bolster the nation’s military muscle and consolidate “powerful self-defense capabilities for overwhelming any hostile forces and thus reliably protect the dignity of the great country.”
The report by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency did not include any direct criticism toward Washington or Seoul amid a prolonged stalemate in nuclear negotiations.
Jolting an old pattern of brinkmanship, North Korea has already set an annual record in ballistic testing through the first half of 2022, firing around 30 missiles in over 18 launch events, including its first tests involving intercontinental ballistic missiles in nearly five years.
Kim has punctuated his recent tests with repeated comments that North Korea would use its nuclear weapons proactively when threatened or provoked, which experts say portend an escalatory nuclear doctrine that may create greater concerns for neighbors.
North Korea’s apparent push to deploy battlefield nuclear weapons at front-line units had been predicted since April, when Kim supervised a test of a new short-range missile that state media said would “drastically” improve the firepower of front-line artillery units and “enhance the efficiency in the operation of tactical nukes.”
Experts say North Korea’s unusually fast pace in testing activity this year underscores Kim’s dual intent to advance his arsenal and pressure Washington over long-stalled nuclear diplomacy. Talks have stalled since early 2019 over disagreements in exchanging the release of crippling U.S.-led sanctions against the North and the North’s disarmament steps.
Kim has shown no intentions to fully give away an arsenal he sees as his strongest guarantee of survival. His pressure campaign is aimed at forcing the United States to accept the idea of the North as a nuclear power and negotiating economic and security concessions from a position of strength, experts say.
The military meeting came amid signs that North Korea is preparing to conduct its first nuclear test explosion since September 2017, when it claimed to have detonated a thermonuclear weapon that could be tipped on its ICBMs.
Experts say North Korea may use its next nuclear test to claim that it has acquired the ability to build a small nuclear warhead to fit its short-range missiles or other weapons it recently tested, including a purported hypersonic missile and a long-range cruise missile. Smaller warheads would also be necessary for the North’s stated pursuit of a multiwarhead ICBM. | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/N-Korea-approves-new-front-line-army-duties-amid-17262110.php | 2022-06-24T01:18:07Z | https://www.darientimes.com/news/article/N-Korea-approves-new-front-line-army-duties-amid-17262110.php | false | 11 |

NEW YORK, June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This press release provides shareholders of Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: RNP) (the "Fund") with information regarding the sources of the distribution to be paid on June 30, 2022 and cumulative distributions paid fiscal year-to-date.
In December 2017, the Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The managed distribution policy seeks to deliver the Fund's long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. The policy gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis to shareholders. The Board of Directors of the Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares.
The Fund's monthly distributions may include long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income and/or return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Return of capital includes distributions paid by the Fund in excess of its net investment income and net realized capital gains and such excess is distributed from the Fund's assets. A return of capital is not taxable; rather, it reduces a shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. In addition, distributions from the Fund's investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) may later be characterized as capital gains and/or a return of capital, depending on the character of the dividends reported to the Fund after year-end by REITs held by the Fund. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions.
At the time of each monthly distribution, information will be posted to cohenandsteers.com and mailed to shareholders in a concurrent notice. However, this information may change at the end of the year because the final tax characteristics of the Fund's distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the calendar year. Final tax characteristics of all of the Fund's distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar year.
The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year-to-date from the sources indicated. All amounts are expressed per common share.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's managed distribution policy. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates, are likely to change over time, and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The amounts and sources of distributions year-to-date may be subject to additional adjustments.
*THE FUND WILL SEND YOU A FORM 1099-DIV FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO REPORT THESE DISTRIBUTIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES
The Fund's Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return for fiscal year 2022 (January 1, 2022 through May 31, 2022) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return with the Fund's Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2022. In addition, the Fund's Average Annual Total Return for the five-year period ending May 31, 2022 is set forth below. Shareholders should note the relationship between the Average Annual Total Return with the Fund's Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2022. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table is based on the Fund's net asset value per share (NAV). The Fund's NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.
Fund Performance and Distribution Rate Information:
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expense of the Fund carefully before investing. You can obtain the Fund's most recent periodic reports, when available, and other regulatory filings by contacting your financial advisor or visiting cohenandsteers.com. These reports and other filings can be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR Database. You should read these reports and other filings carefully before investing.
Shareholders should not use the information provided here in preparing their tax returns. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year indicating how to report Fund distributions for federal income tax purposes.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Sacramento Kings selected Iowa forward Keegan Murray with the fourth overall pick in the NBA draft.
A first-team All-American as a sophomore, Murray was the Big Ten's leading scorer at 23.5 points a game and averaged 8.7 rebounds while playing alongside twin brother Kris.
The 6-foot-8, 225-pound Murray gives Kings first-year coach Mike Brown a versatile wing player to complement a core group anchored by point guard De’Aaron Fox and 6-foot-11 power forward Domantas Sabonis.
Murray’s value vaulted after a stellar sophomore season at Iowa. He improved his scoring more than 16 points from his freshman year and made 66 3-pointers — 50 more than he had the previous season with the Hawkeyes.
The Kings have not made the playoffs in an NBA-record 16 consecutive seasons.

‘The Gray Man’ Scenery Will Be Chewed On By Chris Evans, and There’s Nothing We Can Do About It
Published on June 23rd, 2022 | Updated on June 23rd, 2022 | By FanFest
Evans is always going to be most recognized for his decade-long run as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is only natural when you consider how many of the highest-grossing films ever created he was a part of. Of course, there are several more strings to his bow; when The Gray Man debuts on Netflix in a few weeks.
The most expensive production Netflix has ever produced is a $200 million globe-trotting espionage thriller in which Ryan Gosling’s Court Gentry is on the run from his old government employers, with mustachioed Lloyd Hansen sent in to track him down and take him out.
With its opening sequence, the trailer fully delivered on this promise, with Joe and Anthony Russo noting that Evans’ uncommon foray into outright villainy is destined to leave bite marks on every object of scenery he comes into touch with.

The financial services company will raise 79.65 billion Japanese yen ($584.6 million) from the share sale and will use the proceeds to repay debt.
The filing confirms a report by Japanese newspaper Nikkei on Tuesday that SMFG was in discussions to purchase a stake in SBI to strengthen its securities businesses.

The story of the "West Memphis Three," whose decades-long murder case was the source for a noted documentary trilogy, returned to court Thursday, with a judge denying one of the men access to evidence he wants tested for DNA, according to his defense team.
The hearing was requested by attorneys for Damien Echols, one of three teenagers convicted in 1994 of the brutal murder of three Cub Scouts in West Memphis, Arkansas. A year earlier, the bodies of 8-year-olds Steve Branch, Chris Byers and Michael Moore had been left in a ditch, hogtied with their own shoelaces.
Prosecutors argued that Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. killed the boys as part of a satanic ritual and that Echols had been the ringleader.
The killings were the subject of the "Paradise Lost" documentary trilogy that raised questions about the evidence in the case. The films, released in 1996, 2004 and 2011, drew attention from musicians including Eddie Vedder, Tom Waits and Henry Rollins, who pushed for a review of the case. The third film was nominated for an Academy Award.
The men were released from prison in 2011 after signing Alford pleas, in which they maintained their innocence but acknowledged that prosecutors have evidence to convict them. As part of a plea deal, they were given time served as their sentences.
This January, Echols' attorneys filed the petition for new DNA testing, saying it "might serve to identify the killer(s)" and bring justice to the case. Echols' petition asked the judge to approve testing with an M-Vac wet vacuum system. Such testing was not available previous times the evidence was tested.
"No one knows, of course, whether additional testing of the ligatures (shoelaces) with the new M-Vac DNA collection technology will lead to the recovery of new DNA samples for testing or not," the petition says. "But one thing for certain is that such evidence will definitely not be found if testing with this new technology is not done."
Keith Chrestman, the prosecuting attorney for the 2nd Judicial District of Arkansas, argued in a court document that finding someone else's DNA on the evidence would not prove Echols innocent given other evidence shown in trial.
Chrestman also argued the new technology, "rather than preserving physical evidence -- (it) is a one-shot deal that forever alters it."
On the M-Vac website, the company says: "It is a sterile wet-vacuum. Collection solution is sprayed onto the surface while simultaneously being vacuumed off of the surface." DNA material is collected in a bottle.
Baldwin and Misskelley are not party to the petition.
"If (Echols') request is granted and the physical evidence is tested, the remaining defendants could be prejudiced," the prosecutor argued. "If the testing reveals nothing worthwhile, the physical evidence would still be forever altered. And -- with neither notice nor an opportunity to be heard -- the remaining defendants would be denied future Act 1780 habeas corpus relief."
The decision was not posted on the court docket Thursday. But in a statement to CNN, Echols' defense team said the judge ruled with the prosecution that only those who are incarcerated request a DNA test of the evidence.
"We are extremely disappointed in the Judge's decision which was based upon a narrow interpretation of the law and one that failed to allow justice to be served," said Lonnie Soury, a member of Echols' defense team. "All we asked is for the right to seek to identify the DNA of the real killer(s)."
Soury said they plan to appeal.
No prior DNA links to the suspects
DNA tested between December 2005 and September 2007 failed to link the men to the crime, and the state Supreme Court ruled in November 2010 that all three could present new evidence to the trial court in an effort to clear them, something pre-empted by the plea deals.
The material included hair from a ligature used to bind Moore and a hair recovered from a tree stump near where the bodies were found, court documents said.
The hair found in the ligature was consistent with Branch's stepfather, Terry Hobbs, while the hair found on the tree stump was consistent with the DNA of a friend of Hobbs', according to the documents.
Police have never considered Hobbs a suspect and he maintains that he had nothing to do with the murders.
Three witnesses who resided next to one of the victims filed affidavits in October 2009 with the Arkansas Supreme Court saying they saw the second-graders with Terry Hobbs the night before the bodies were found by police.
The statement from the witnesses contradicted Hobbs' statements to police and in court that he never saw his stepson, Steve, on the day of the murder.
Prosecutors said at trial punctures and cut marks on the victims showed the crimes were part of a sadistic ritual. After the three were convicted, some forensic examiners argued those marks were from animal bites.
The prosecution relied on the confession of Misskelley, a 17-year-old with learning disabilities and an IQ of 70. He confessed after an untaped, three-hour interrogation by police without his parents or an attorney present. Misskelley, who was tried separately, later recanted his confession.
Echols and Baldwin said that at the time, they were targeted for being different from the rest of their peers in the small town where they lived. They read different books, wore different clothes and had different haircuts.
"The evidence against us was our personal preferences in music," Baldwin said. "I remember at one point during the trial, they lifted up a record, a Blue Oyster Cult record, and I think (prosecutor) John Fogleman said this was found in Damien's girlfriend's mother's house."
Critics of the case against the men argued that no direct evidence tied them to the killings, and that a knife recovered from a lake near the home of one of the men could not have caused the boys' wounds.

During his junior year at Calaveras High School, Braeden Orlandi truly made a name for himself. Orlandi was the main weapon for Calaveras on the gridiron and helped lead Calaveras to a share of the Mother Lode League championship on the hardwood. In both sports, he finished the season with one of the top league awards.
In the fall, Orlandi was a two-way standout football player. On offense, he was a scoring machine. Of Calaveras 18 touchdowns scored in the 2021 season, Orlandi was responsible for 12 of them.
In the first game of the season, Orlandi came out of the gates hot by scoring four touchdowns and rushing for 181 yards on 21 carries in a home victory over McNair. As a running back, Orlandi rushed for 777 yards on 132 attempts with eight touchdowns in only eight games.
Not only was Orlandi dangerous as a running back, but he also was Calaveras’ leading receiver. He caught 17 passes and four of them went for touchdowns. In a home loss to Sonora, Orlandi was used primarily as a receiver, and he didn’t disappoint. The junior had 11 receptions for 170 yards and three scores.
“Having a player like Braeden is something that any coach wants,” Calaveras head football coach Doug Clark said. “He can score on any given play on either side of the ball. He just has a vision and knowledge of the game and obviously his skill speaks for itself. He has an understanding and knowledge and a vision of the game that you just can’t coach. That’s all on Braeden.”
In the winter, Orlandi was a key member of Calaveras’ basketball team. He averaged 6.7 points per game, 1.9 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals. Orlandi scored a season-high 14 points in a road victory over Summerville, and he also pulled down a season-high 11 rebounds in a win over Dixon. Orlandi finished the season third on the team in scoring and first in rebounds.
Orlandi was named as the Mother Lode League Offensive Player of the Year in football and was the co-Most Valuable Player in basketball.
In the spring, Orlandi joined the track and field team and took part in the 100- and 200-meter dash, along with the long jump and the 4x100-meter relay. | http://www.calaverasenterprise.com/sports/article_44e244c0-f1a8-11ec-9c53-b30bc6ab6b9d.html | 2022-06-24T01:44:03Z | http://www.calaverasenterprise.com/sports/article_44e244c0-f1a8-11ec-9c53-b30bc6ab6b9d.html | false | 1 |
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — As a Florida judge determines whether a civil lawsuit filed against Brian Laundrie’s parents will proceed to trial, an increasing amount of attention is being focused on the 23-year-old’s last words.
The FBI announced in January that a notebook found near Laundrie’s remains at the Carlton Reserve contained written statements where he claimed responsibility for Gabby Petito’s death.
The FBI collected the notebook, along with a backpack and the revolver Laundrie used to fatally shoot himself, from the scene on Oct. 20, 2021. Since then, it is believed to have remained with the FBI, despite the agency announcing the closure of their investigation on Jan. 21.
Chris and Roberta Laundrie, Brian’s parents, have not received their son’s notebook from the FBI, according to their attorney Steve Bertolino. They were briefly shown the note containing Brian’s confession but did not read it, Bertolino says.
“[Chris and Roberta] were too upset at the time,” Bertolino told WFLA. “That’s all there was to it.”
The notebook has remained an object of fascination with the public. To this day, the motive for Petito’s death remains unknown, as does whether the notebook contains Brian’s reasoning for killing his fiancée.
Pat Reilly, the attorney for Gabby’s parents, says he and Bertolino are meeting with the FBI in Tampa on Friday to receive belongings of Laundrie and Petito that were collected over the course of the investigation. It is unknown whether the notebook is among the items being given back.
“Some of those materials are Gabby’s, some of those are Brian Laundrie’s,” said Reilly. “Most of them we’ve agreed on how they should be split. There’s a few we just want to see before we decide who they really belong to.”
Reilly says Gabby’s parents, Joe Petito and Nichole Schmidt, are aware of “some of the content” within Laundrie’s confession, but he couldn’t say whether they’ve seen the notebook or a copy of it for themselves.
The collection of the evidence does not have any connection to this week’s pre-trial hearing in the civil lawsuit filed by Petito and Schmidt against the Laundries, Reilly adds, but the notebook could have significant relevance to his case going forward.
“Let’s hope that the confession has a date when [Gabby’s murder] occurred,” said Reilly. “That date would hopefully and likely coincide with when we think he called his parents and told his parents he murdered Gabby.”
Former FBI agent and federal law enforcement expert Jennifer Coffindaffer says there are likely multiple reasons the FBI has remained in possession of the notebook for this long, including the time necessary for laboratory work on the evidence, as well as determining who the owner of the notebook actually is.
“There could be a question as to whose notebook that actually was in totality,” said Coffindaffer. “Yes, we know Brian Laundrie wrote in it, but did Gabby Petito write in it? Are there Gabby Petito writings or artwork, or does it belong to Brian Laundrie? I’m not so sure those questions have been answered.”
Coffindaffer believes it’s likely the public learns the contents of the notebook someday, especially if the civil lawsuit against the Laundries proceeds to a jury trial.
“If this goes to a civil court setting, I think we’re going to see a lot of evidence none of us thought we’d ever be able to see.”
Judge Hunter W. Carroll has announced he expects to reach a decision on the Laundrie’s motion to dismiss the civil lawsuit filed by Petito and Schmidt within two weeks. | https://www.wsav.com/news/national-news/what-happened-to-brian-laundries-notebook-after-gabby-petito-murder/ | 2022-06-24T01:48:52Z | https://www.wsav.com/news/national-news/what-happened-to-brian-laundries-notebook-after-gabby-petito-murder/ | true | 21 |

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Rockets selected Auburn freshman Jabari Smith Jr. with the third overall pick in the NBA draft Thursday night, adding a skilled player to join last year’s second pick Jalen Green as the team continues its rebuild.
Smith was one of three first-round picks the Rockets had in this year’s draft. Houston also had the 17th pick, which the team received as part of the trade for James Harden, and the 26th pick but whoever is drafted in that slot will go to the Dallas Mavericks once the trade for center Christian Wood is official.
The Rockets have finished with the NBA’s worst record the last two seasons after reaching the playoffs in each of the previous eight seasons. After trading Harden and the rest of their established stars, Houston went all in on the rebuild, looking to develop young draft picks to bring the team back into contention.
Smith comes to Houston after the power forward averaged 16.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and two assists per game to win SEC freshman of the year, All-SEC first-team and second-team All-America honors.
Green had a solid rookie year, starting 67 games and averaging 17.3 points, 2.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds last season. Green was one of four first-round picks the Rockets had last season, as they also added Alperen Sengun at 16, Usman Garuba with the 23rd pick and Josh Christopher at 24.
Houston is counting on Sengun to be its long-term solution at center after dealing Wood. He played mostly a reserve role last season, appearing in 72 games with 13 starts. The Turkish player averaged 9.6 points and 5.5 rebounds as a rookie.
Christopher also contributed off the bench last season, averaging 7.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and two assists. Garuba played in just 24 games as a rookie after missing significant time with a broken wrist.
The Rockets will expect Smith to play immediately as they move on from Wood, who led the team in scoring in each of the last two seasons. If the 19-year-old starts as expected, the team will field an extraordinarily young starting lineup with four players under 22.

The resident involved in the confrontation, a 31-year-old Corio man, was interviewed by homicide detectives and released pending further inquiries.
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton told Melbourne radio station 3AW further investigation was necessary and it was 'too early to say' whether the man with the bat would be charged.
'We have to investigate the matter fully, given the life-threatening circumstances of that person who is in hospital,' Mr Patton said before the man had died.
'We have the Homicide Squad investigating. They will be stepping through all of the circumstances, all of the forensic evidence and, as I understand, they interviewed the other male who is involved.'
He urged anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward in what was a 'complex' investigation.

TEXARKANA, Ark. - The Texarkana Regional Airport is moving forward on the purchase of 8-acres of land that could attract more business to the area.
Both cities have approved a resolution authorizing the airport authority to purchase the land, which is just south of the new terminal building. The 8-acres of undeveloped land is located between the airport's property and some land owned by the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce.
A new business on the land would not only have access to the runway but also easy access to Interstate 49.
Airport Director Paul Mehrlich hopes to start conversations with potential companies this fall about leasing the piece of property. He says the real estate could possible bring in a maintenance repair or cargo company.
"It's a win for the airport because it creates a new tenant that helps make more revenue, but we can also bring more jobs. A lot of the jobs bring around $50,000 a year, which can have a significant impact on our local economy," said Mehrlich.
The cost of the land is about $82,000. Both cities, which own the airport, will not have to pay for it. Instead, they're using federal funding as well as money from other airport property sales to cover the cost.
The new terminal building is expected to open in the summer of 2024. | https://www.ktbs.com/news/texarkana/airport-leaders-hope-new-property-will-boost-texarkana-economy/article_63b0ae74-f323-11ec-8e76-b703732429c6.html | 2022-06-24T01:56:18Z | https://www.ktbs.com/news/texarkana/airport-leaders-hope-new-property-will-boost-texarkana-economy/article_63b0ae74-f323-11ec-8e76-b703732429c6.html | false | 1 |

Afghanistan earthquake: ‘What do we do when another disaster hits?’ Afghans face crises on all fronts
The slow response, exacerbated by international sanctions and decades of mismanagement, concerns people working in the humanitarian space, like Obaidullah Baheer, lecturer in Transitional Justice at the American University of Afghanistan. “This is a very patchwork, band-aid solution for a problem that we need to start thinking (about) mid to long term… what do we do when (another disaster) hits?” he told CNN by phone.
The magnitude 5.9 quake struck during the early hours of Wednesday near the city of Khost by the Pakistan border and the death toll is expected to rise as many of the homes in the area were flimsily made out of wood, mud and other materials vulnerable to damage.
Humanitarian agencies are converging on the area, but it might be days before aid reaches affected regions, which are among the most remote in the country.
UNICEF Afghanistan’s Chief of Communications Sam Mort told CNN that critical aid it has dispatched to help affected families is expected to only reach villages by Saturday. Teams deployed by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have yet to arrive, according to Anita Dullard, ICRC’s Asia Pacific spokesperson.
“The challenges that we’re facing, first and foremost, are geographical, logistical challenges because the area is so remote and rural and mountainous. Already yesterday we’d had a lot of rain here and the combination of the rain and the earthquake has lead to landslides in some areas, making roads difficult to pass by,” UNICEF’s Mort told CNN from Kabul.
The quake coincided with heavy monsoon rain and wind between June 20 and 22, which has hampered search efforts and helicopter travel.
As medics and emergency staff from around the country attempt to access the site, help is expected to be limited as a number of organizations pulled out of the aid-dependent country when the Taliban took power in August last year.
Those that remain are stretched thin. On Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it had mobilized “all of the resources” from around the country, with teams on the ground providing medicine and emergency support. But, as one WHO official put it, “the resources are overstretched here, not just for this region.”
The international community’s hesitancy to deal with the Taliban and the group’s “very messy bureaucracy where it becomes difficult to gain information from one source” has led to a communication gap in the rescue efforts, Baheer — who is also the founder of aid group Save Afghans from Hunger — said.
“At the core of everything is how the politics has translated into this gap of communication, not just between countries and the Taliban, but international aid organizations and the Taliban as well,” he added.
Baheer gives an example of how he has been acting as a conduit of information with the World Food Program and other aid organizations, informing them that Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defense were offering to airlift aid from humanitarian organizations to badly hit areas.
In the meantime, some people spent the night sleeping in makeshift outdoor shelters, as rescuers scoured for survivors by flashlight. The United Nations says 2,000 homes are thought to have been destroyed. Pictures from the badly hit Paktika province, where most of the deaths have been reported, show homes reduced to dust and rubble.
Officials say aid is reaching the affected areas.
The government has so far distributed food, tents, clothing, and other supplies to the quake-hit provinces, according to Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defense’s official Twitter account. Medical and relief teams deployed by the Afghan government are already present in the quake-hit areas, and attempting to transport the wounded to medical facilities and health centers by land and air, it added.
‘Carpet sanctioning a whole country and a whole people’
Although the economic crisis in Afghanistan has loomed for years, the result of conflict and drought, it plunged to new depths after the Taliban takeover, which prompted the United States and its allies to freeze about $7 billion of the country’s foreign reserves and cut off international funding.
The US no longer has a presence in Afghanistan following the hasty withdrawal of its troops and collapse of the previous US-backed Afghan government. Like nearly all other nations, it does not have official relations with the Taliban government.
The move has crippled the Afghan economy and sent many of its 20 million people into a severe hunger crisis. Millions of Afghans are out of work, government employees haven’t been paid, and the price of food has soared.
Baheer says sanctions “are hurting us so much” that Afghans are struggling to send money to families affected by the earthquake.
“The fact that we barely have a banking system, the fact that we haven’t had new currency printed or brought into the country in the past nine to 10 months, our assets are frozen… these sanctions don’t work,” he said.
He added: “The only sanctions that make moral sense is targeted sanctions on specific individuals rather than carpet sanctioning a whole country and a whole people.”
While “sanctions have affected a lot of the country, there’s an exemption for humanitarian aid so we’re getting it in to support those most in need,” Mort, from UNICEF, told CNN.
The Taliban “isn’t preventing us from distributing anything like that, on the contrary they are enabling us,” she added.
Experts and officials say the most pressing immediate needs include medical care and transportation for the injured, shelter and supplies for the displaced, food and water, and clothing.
The UN has distributed medical supplies and sent mobile health teams to Afghanistan — but warned that it does not have search and rescue capabilities.
Pakistan has offered to help, opening border crossings in its northern province of Khyber Pakhtunkwa and allowing injured Afghans to come into the country visa-free for treatment, according Mohammad Ali Saif, a regional government spokesperson.
“400 injured Afghans have moved into Pakistan this morning for treatment and a stream of people is continuing, these numbers are expected to rise by the end of day, Saif told CNN.
Pakistan has kept a tight limit on Afghans entering the country via the land border crossing since the Taliban took power.

Derogatory comments in a First Nations workplace has resulted in discipline against a Vernon nurse.
An inquiry committee approved a consent agreement June 21 between the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives and Barbara Liesch to address practice issues that happened from March to June 2021 in a First Nations community.
Liesch made two discriminatory and derogatory comments in the workplace, one about a BIPOC coworker’s hair, and one about sterilization of First Nations women.
She was asked to complete six remedial courses but had not begun the course work more than seven weeks after she was asked.
Liesch voluntarily agreed to a five-week suspension for her discriminatory and derogatory comments, a six-month limit prohibiting her from being in a supervisory position, and a four-month workplace mentorship focused on communication, remedial education on anti-racism and sensitivity training.
“The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will protect the public,” said a news release on the BCCNM website.
Another Vernon nurse had his registration suspended for six months by the BCCNM earlier in June. In that case the nurse
was suspended for issues relating to accessing medical records of individuals with whom the nurse had no professional
relationship or reason to access their files; not documenting all client interactions; not working scheduled hours; and
displaying disrespectful behaviour toward colleagues.

The Bulls entered Thursday’s NBA Draft looking to add depth to a nucleus that they feel can be a threat when healthy, and did just that by selecting Arizona guard/forward Dalen Terry with the No. 18 pick overall.
Terry was considered a high-effort player that had a no-nonsense attitude to his game. An edge that the Bulls seemed to lack at times last season.
According to multiple sources, the Bulls were busy behind the scenes throughout the 24 hours leading up to the draft, exploring options to move up in a draft that had a very equal landscape after the top three picks.
A top three that even had some late surprise movement to it.
Auburn’s Jabari Smith Jr. was atop most draft boards through mid-week, but heavy money started moving in the sports books late Wednesday night in Paolo Banchero jumping up to the Magic and that No. 1 spot. Following that money proved to be a good decision, as Banchero did in fact become the first overall player selected.
Oklahoma City was always in on the 7-foot unicorn that is Chet Holmgren, and landed the Gonzaga product with the No. 2 pick, while Smith went No. 3 to the Houston Rockets.
After the top three went off the board all bets were off, as the Thunder and Pistons each made big swings with trades, as OKC acquired Ousmane Dieng from the Knicks at No. 11, while Detroit acquired Jalen Duren from Charlotte at 13. | https://chicago.suntimes.com/bulls/2022/6/23/23181051/bulls-take-arizona-pg-dalen-terry-with-18th-pick | 2022-06-24T02:05:46Z | https://chicago.suntimes.com/bulls/2022/6/23/23181051/bulls-take-arizona-pg-dalen-terry-with-18th-pick | false | 1 |

A studio, along with the engineers within the studio, can make or break records. Finding a great studio to cultivate one’s sound can be extremely difficult, and the search can be disheartening. However, once that state-of-the-art studio is found, a music artist can have their music greatly enhanced in quality and will see their music flourish. Matthew DeFreitas (aka Formatt) has created such a studio in the heart of Miami Beach.
Bay Eight Recording Studios was founded in 2015 by Mattew DeFreitas. DeFreitas’ career beginnings started in Boston, in 2004, at a studio called, “Boston Skyline Studio.” During his time at Boston Skyline Studio, he was able to develop his skills and learn the tools of the trade. He eventually landed an internship in Miami, then went onto do freelance audio engineering work. In true go-getter fashion, Matthew DeFreitas branched out and created the iconic Bay Eight Recording Studios.
Bay Eight Recording Studios is a three-room facility with comfortable interiors in an uber-creative atmosphere. All three of its studio rooms are acoustically designed to capture high-quality recordings. The software used and equipment that is equipped in the studio’s rooms are next level. Some of the equipment are as follows: a renowned SSL AWS 900 console, two Tube-Tech CL 1B’s, two Neve 1073’s, and two API 512C’s in the studio’s SSL Room and Apollo Room.
In 2021, Bay Eight went through a renovation, enlisting Ross Alexander of Synergetic Services to handle the re-design of the SSL Room. The SSL Room now brandishes a brand new custom pair of Augspurger Duo 18 monitors flush-mounted in the walls, Barefoot MM27 Micro Mains, Genelec 8361A monitors, a vintage Pultec EQP-1A and Pultec MEQ-5, and a mint Sony C-800G microphone. The latest additions have thoroughly enhanced the already perfect sound the studio is known for.
Similar to Bay Eight Recording Studios’ owner, Formatt – who is a multi-platinum audio engineer, Bay Eight Recordings Studio has won several awards including the coveted GRAMMY Award. Bay Eight Recording Studios has also worked with countless household names and companies. Formatt’s Bay Eight Recording Studios has only been around for less than a decade, and it already has had legendary clients and results. Bay Eight Recording Studios is a studio that will likely stand the test of time and impact the music world for generations to come. Learn more about Bay Eight Recording Studios here.

Hamster Returns Alive After Daring Balloon Ride to Earth’s Stratosphere
Future tests have been planned to extend the maximum altitude to 25 kilometers (15 miles), the height at which humans begin to see the curvature of Earth. The Sapporo-based space venture hopes to build off the recent momentum and carry out a manned mission before the year’s end.
The record-setting rodent’s maiden test flight was deemed a success after the hamster’s balloon reached an altitude of
23 kilometers (
14 miles) and returned back to Earth, where it was then retrieved by
Iwatani Giken off Japan’s Miyako Island.
The Sapporo-based company was founded in 2016 and serves clients within the aerospace sector. Iwatani Giken specializes in space balloons, space travel research, remote sensing, and other space experiments.
The airtight, company-developed cabin was measured at 60 centimeters in height and 50 centimeters in diameter, and lifted off from the Miyakojima, Okinawa Prefecture, on June 9.
The cylindrical aircraft is said to have maintained the same atmospheric pressure and temperature as the ground as it climbed at an average of 6.3 meters (20.7 feet) per second.
A camera fixed to the inside of the aircraft cabin snapped a photograph of the hamster peering out the window while approximately 12 kilometers (7 miles) above Earth.
Maximum altitude was achieved within an hour of the balloon’s liftoff.
The company, which hopes to introduce manned space flights to the commercial market,
confirmed to the Hokkaido Shimbun Press that the hamster is in good health following the venture.
Iwaya Giken told the outlet that it plans to conduct additional experiments to demonstrate the safety of traveling to the stratosphere, where folks can begin to “feel outer space.”
"We will continue to carry out experiments so that people can get on board and return safely,” a spokesperson told the outlet. | https://sputniknews.com/20220624/hamster-returns-alive-after-daring-balloon-ride-to-earths-stratosphere--1096610339.html | 2022-06-24T02:11:09Z | https://sputniknews.com/20220624/hamster-returns-alive-after-daring-balloon-ride-to-earths-stratosphere--1096610339.html | true | 1 |
This summer is chock-full of epic moments for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, between the theatrical release of Thor: Love and Thunder and the debut of the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, I Am Groot, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The latter series won't be premiering until mid-August, and fans are definitely eager to see what the series has in store, especially after the first trailer was released last month. While previous rumors have indicated that Marvel Studios might not have a presence at next month's San Diego Comic-Con, a new banner for the convention has surfaced in San Diego — and it happens to show She-Hulk. The banner, which was discovered by SDCC Blog!, uses She-Hulk: Attorney at Law's teaser poster with the SDCC logo, alongside a note that the convention is "celebrating the popular arts." | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642706374729/dc-readers-attend-a-free-early-screening-of-the-black-phone | 2022-06-24T02:12:15Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642706374729/dc-readers-attend-a-free-early-screening-of-the-black-phone | false | null |

Which Eero Wi-Fi system is best?
As working from home becomes more commonplace, it’s more important than ever to have fast, reliable Wi-Fi throughout your home. A Wi-Fi system from Eero, utilizing technology more advanced than that of traditional router networks, can help prevent connectivity issues in your home office. The Eero Whole Home System is the top choice for an Eero Wi-Fi system that provides reliable coverage.
What to know before you buy an Eero Wi-Fi system
There are a few key things to consider when buying an Eero Wi-Fi system, which employs the company’s patented TrueMesh technology.
How mesh networks work
Prior to the creation of mesh networks, traditional routers were the main option for Wi-Fi connectivity. However, the traditional router could not always reach every room in your home or business with enough signal strength, especially if your rooms were spread far apart.
You could add extenders to your router network to help boost the Wi-Fi signal from the router for better coverage, but depending on their location and other factors, these extenders didn’t always work well. On the other hand, extenders in a mesh network each offer the same signal strength, ensuring that your Wi-Fi network is consistent throughout your home.
How Eero systems work
Mesh networks such as the Eero systems use software to manage the Wi-Fi network. You simply put Eero devices in various parts of your home or space to get full Wi-Fi coverage.
What to look for in a quality Eero Wi-Fi system
Full coverage
All of the Eero systems are designed to provide full Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home. The Eero Pro 6 offers up to 6,000 square feet of coverage using three devices in the system, while both the Eero 6 and the original Eero cover up to 5,000 square feet with three devices.
Dual-band and tri-band technology
The Eero Pro 6 employs tri-band technology, which means that it routes your wireless device’s signal to one of three frequency bands, enabling faster connections. The original Eero and the Eero 6 both use dual-band technology.
High ISP speeds
The Eero Pro 6 works with internet service provider (ISP) speeds of up to 1,000 megabits (1 gigabit) per second. The Eero 6 works well with ISP speeds of up to 500 megabits per second, and the original Eero works with ISP speeds of up to 350 megabits per second.
Eero app
The Eero app gives you more control by allowing you to view your network speed, make sure that each of your devices is working properly and figure out which of your devices are connected.
How much you can expect to spend on an Eero Wi-Fi system
The original Eero router, for up to 1,500 square feet of coverage, is $79, while the top-of-the-line Eero Pro 6 router, for coverage of up to 2,000 square feet, is $229. An Eero Wi-Fi system using the company’s older technology will range from $125-$350, depending on the number of Eero extenders included, while kits employing its newer technology will range from $200-$600.
Eero Wi-Fi system FAQ
What are the Eero Wi-Fi system’s security features?
A. With an Eero Wi-Fi system, the hardware automatically receives security patches and regular upgrades. The Eero app also offers helpful statistics and warnings about any network threats.
Do I need Wi-Fi 6 technology?
A. It’s recommended to buy an Eero mesh network with Wi-Fi 6 technology, since it offers dramatically faster transmission speeds compared to Wi-Fi 5 and older technology. Wi-Fi 6 technology also allows you to support dozens of device connections at the same time without sacrificing performance. Your mobile devices will also need less battery power to use Wi-Fi 6 technology.

Veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara opened up on his comeback to the national team after a missing out on the last couple of Test series. The Indian Test specialist has been going through a patch with India as his last international century came way back in 2019. After an underwhelming show on South Africa tour, Pujara was dropped from the Indian team alongside other Test veterans – Ajinkya Rahane and Ishant Sharma.
However, Pujara bounced back by performing exceptionally well in Ranji Trophy and County Cricket. He scored a couple of half-centuries in Ranji Trophy and then went to the UK to play for Sussex in County Cricket. The 34-year-old displayed his talent on English soil and scored four centuries out of which he converted two into double centuries.

Pujara said playing first-class games was the important thing for him after getting dropped from the Indian team.
“The most important thing was playing so many first class games. I was preparing for this when I was playing back home before I joined Sussex,” said Pujara in an interview on BCCI.tv.

The veteran batter said that playing in Ranji Trophy helped him to get back into the rhythm which was missing in his batting.
“In the three games I played for Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy, I found my rhythm, knew that I was batting well. It was about getting a big score and so when I had that in my first game, I knew that everything is back to normal now. (I was) finding my footwork, the back lift was coming along well,” he added.
“After that I just wanted to enjoy my game and contribute to the team’s success. The most important thing is having a good time on the field. I love this game, enjoy playing cricket, so whenever I am on the field I want to try and make the most of it,” he said.
His imperious form in county cricket helped him make a comeback in the Indian Test side for the England tour.
Meanwhile, India currently leads the Test series 2-1. The fifth Test match, which was supposed to be held at Old Trafford in Manchester last year, was cancelled due to COVID-19.
Meanwhile, Team India will also play a four-day warm-up match against Leicestershire from June 24 to June 27 to be in the groove for the fifth Test.

Hank Williams Jr. Explains ‘Rich White Honky Blues’ Album Title
Hank Williams Jr. says it was nothing but love that inspired the title of his new album, Rich White Honky Blues. Love, and a popular 1970s NBC sitcom.
Rich White Honky Blues (June 17) is a collection of blues covers, most of them recorded in a single take with producer Dan Auerbach (the Black Keys) and a legendary band of blues musicians.
There are three original songs that Williams Jr. tells Taste of Country he had no trouble writing for the project: "S--t, no. I am a Williams, you know?"
Songs from Lightnin' Hopkins, R.L. Burnside, Muddy Waters and more form the core of the album, and while some themes and lyrics would certainly surprise country fans today — ".44 Special Blues," for example, is about shooting an unfaithful woman — the man who goes by Thunderhead Hawkins when he's singing the blues says the songs definitely hold the test of time.
"The hell they won't," Williams says with an icy glare. "You say, 'I can't help it if I'm still in love with you'? That's forever. You say, 'You better get some insurance on my baby'? That's forever. 'Georgia women, shake 'em on down'? That's forever. My a-- culture s--t. Good music is good music. That's one of the greatest things in here. There's no political s--t, zero! None! Thunderhead don't sing about political s--t. Don't give a s--t about it. This ain't Hank Jr., this is Thunderhead Hawkins, brother."
The full Taste of Country Nights, On Demand interview with Hank Jr. can be found below (or anywhere great podcasts are found).
As for what inspired the album name? Williams flatly credits actor and comedian Redd Foxx, whom he refers to as Redd Sanford as a sort of hat tip to his most famous role (as Fred Sanford) in the sitcom Sanford and Sons. The two men met in Las Vegas one time. Williams says he was only a teenager.
"He sat down at the table and he started telling my mother how he knew and loved all of daddy's songs and his mother had them all," the country icon, now 73, tells host Evan Paul. "It just blew my mind ... It's something I never forgot and then when I wrote this song I thought about him on that show and, (impersonating) 'Lamont! Why you hanging out with all those old rich white honkies for?'"
"That's exactly where it came from, folks. It's love. It ain't nothing but pure love."
Highlights — including an unbelievable Johnny Cash story — and more from Willliams' interview can be found in the video above. | https://tasteofcountry.com/hank-williams-jr-rich-white-honky-blues-album-title-interview/ | 2022-06-24T02:19:05Z | https://tasteofcountry.com/hank-williams-jr-rich-white-honky-blues-album-title-interview/ | false | 3 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. health regulators on Thursday ordered Juul to pull its electronic cigarettes from the market, the latest blow to the embattled company widely blamed for sparking a national surge in teen vaping.
The action is part of a sweeping effort by the Food and Drug Administration to bring scientific scrutiny to the multibillion-dollar vaping industry after years of regulatory delays.
The FDA said Juul must stop selling its vaping device and its tobacco and menthol flavored cartridges. Those already on the market must be removed. Consumers aren’t restricted from having or using Juul’s products, the agency said.
To stay on the market, companies must show that their e-cigarettes benefit public health. In practice, that means proving that adult smokers who use them are likely to quit or reduce their smoking, while teens are unlikely to get hooked on them.
The FDA noted that some of the biggest sellers like Juul may have played a “disproportionate″ role in the rise in teen vaping. The agency said Thursday that Juul’s application didn’t have enough evidence to show that marketing its products “would be appropriate for the protection of the public health.”
Juul said it disagrees with the FDA’s findings and will seek to put the ban on hold while the company considers its options, including a possible appeal and talking with regulators.
In a statement, the FDA said Juul’s application left regulators with significant questions and didn’t include enough information to evaluate any potential risks. The agency said the company’s research included “insufficient and conflicting data” about things like potentially harmful chemicals leaching from Juul’s cartridges.
“Without the data needed to determine relevant health risks, the FDA is issuing these marketing denial orders.” Michele Mital, acting director of the FDA’s tobacco center, said in the statement.
Joe Murillo, Juul’s chief regulatory officer, said in the company’s statement that Juul submitted enough information and data to address all issues raised by regulators. He noted that the company’s application, submitted more than two years ago, included comparisons to combustible cigarettes and other products.
He said it also included information on potential harmful effects of the company’s products.
Since last fall, the FDA has given the OK to tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes from R.J. Reynolds, Logic and other companies. But industry players and anti-tobacco advocates have complained that those products account for just a tiny percent of the $6 billion vaping market in the U.S.
The agency said Thursday that people who use Juul products or smokers who want to move away from cigarettes and cigars could switch to the FDA-authorized e-cigarettes.
Regulators repeatedly delayed making decisions on devices from market leaders, including Juul, which remains the best-selling vaping brand although sales have dipped.
Last year, the agency rejected applications for more than a million other e-cigarettes and related products, mainly due to their potential appeal to underage teens.
Anti-tobacco groups applauded the FDA’s move, with the American Lung Association calling it “long overdue and most welcome.” The American Vapor Manufacturers Association said it was a “shameful decision.”
E-cigarettes first appeared in the U.S. more than a decade ago with the promise of providing smokers a less harmful alternative. The devices heat a nicotine solution into a vapor that’s inhaled, bypassing many of the toxic chemicals produced by burning tobacco.
But studies have reached conflicting results about whether they truly help smokers quit. And efforts by the FDA to rule on vaping products and their claims were repeatedly slowed by industry lobbying and competing political interests.
The vaping market grew to include hundreds of companies selling an array of devices and nicotine solutions in various flavors and strengths.
The vaping issue took on new urgency in 2018 when Juul’s high-nicotine, fruity-flavored cartridges quickly became a nationwide craze among middle and high school students. The company faces a slew of federal and state investigations into its early marketing practices, which included distributing free Juul products at concerts and parties hosted by young influencers.
In 2019, the company was pressured into halting all advertising and eliminating its fruit and dessert flavors. The next year, the FDA limited flavors in small vaping devices to just tobacco and menthol. Separately, Congress raised the purchase age for all tobacco and vaping products to 21.
But the question of whether e-cigarettes should remain on the market at all remained.
The FDA has been working under a court order to render its decisions; anti-tobacco groups successfully sued the agency to speed up its review.
Kenneth Warner, a tobacco expert at the University of Michigan’s school of public health, suspects political pressure from those groups played a role in the FDA’s decision.
“I think they would have had a hard time coming to any other conclusion,” said Warner, who had not seen Juul’s application. He added that he does not take tobacco money.
In response, an FDA spokesman said the company didn’t provide enough information for a full risk assessment of its products, and that alone would prevent the agency from finding in favor of Juul.
While Juul remains a top seller, a recent federal survey shows that teens have been shifting away from the company.
Overall, the survey showed a drop of nearly 40% in the teen vaping rate as many kids were forced to learn from home during the pandemic. Still, federal officials cautioned about interpreting the results given they were collected online for the first time, instead of in classrooms.
The brainchild of two Stanford University students, Juul launched in 2015 and within two years rocketed to the top of the vaping market. Juul still accounts for nearly 50% of the U.S. e-cigarette market. It once controlled more than 75%.
Tobacco giant Altria, which makes Marlboro cigarettes, paid nearly $13 billion for a 35% stake in Juul in 2018.
On Tuesday, the FDA also laid out plans to establish a maximum nicotine level for certain tobacco products to reduce their addictiveness. In that announcement, the agency also noted that it has invested in a multimedia public education campaign aimed at warning young people about the potential risks of e-cigarette use.

Into the Breach is one of the greatest turn-based tactics games of all time, so it was an absolute joy earlier today to hear that it is about to be updated with all kinds of new stuff.
With Netflix about to release a mobile version of the game — a blessing for public transit users everywhere — every edition of Into the Breach, regardless of platform, will be updated to the Advanced Edition.
The news was announced in an oddly-worded tweet from developers Subset Games:
Big Into the Breach news!
— Subset Games (@subsetgames) June 23, 2022
– The new Advanced Edition free content update will be coming to all platforms!
– A mobile version will be available through @Netflix!
Both will be available on July 19th!
Plus one more surprise announcement below!
Info in thread! 🧵 1/5 pic.twitter.com/U6PNcYQeG8
So, a mobile edition is coming out on July 19 for anyone with a Netflix subscription, and it’ll have all the Advanced Edition content included already. And on the same day the Advanced Edition will be released as an update for all the other platforms, making sure everyone gets to be playing the same game.
What’s actually included in this update? Loads of stuff (see above). There are 40 new weapons, five new mech squads, new bosses, new enemies, new music, new pilots, new mission objectives and an “Unfair” difficulty mode, which sounds downright ominous. Oh, and the mobile version is getting an interface tweak so that it works better on smaller touchscreens. Here’s a trailer for the Advanced Edition:
If you’ve never played it, here’s Riley’s wonderful review of the game from 2018:
Into the Breach requires thinking through the consequences of your actions, not just one turn or round but across the whole game. It lets you see into the future, knowing what each enemy will do. With its fluctuating power grid, it lets you see into the past, to remember what you’ve done. But the present — my present, my mindset, rather than the state of the game — always remained murky and unpredictable. Not knowing what you’ll do is part of the fun, the teasing-out of possibilities of a strategy game. But I also didn’t know what I would do to mess it up, what mistakes I’d make, what consequences I’d overlook. You can undo moves before you commit to an action, and once every round you can reset an entire turn. These options seem like a machine’s affordance to your own human nature, but they never quite erased the reminder of my mistakes.
And it’s a game that very comfortably made it into my “Best of 2018″ list:
A puzzle game with turn-based tactical trappings, Into the Breach has the most agonising “end turn” button in all of video games. It’s a wonder how it’s able to distill both genres down to their essence, with narrative and rewards that encourage endless replays. | https://www.kotaku.com.au/2022/06/oh-yeah-into-the-breach-is-back-baby/ | 2022-06-24T02:28:47Z | https://www.kotaku.com.au/2022/06/oh-yeah-into-the-breach-is-back-baby/ | true | 1 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a major expansion of gun rights after a series of mass shootings, the Supreme Court said Thursday that Americans have a right to carry firearms in public for self-defense, a ruling likely to lead to more people legally armed. The decision came out as Congress and states debate gun-control legislation.
About one-quarter of the U.S. population lives in states expected to be affected by the ruling, which struck down a New York gun law. The high court’s first major gun decision in more than a decade split the court 6-3, with the court’s conservatives in the majority and liberals in dissent.
Across the street from the court, lawmakers at the Capitol sped toward passage of gun legislation prompted by recent massacres in Texas,New York and California. Senators cleared the way for the measure, modest in scope but still the most far-reaching in decades.
Also Thursday, underscoring the nation’s deep divisions over the issue, the sister of a 9-year-old girl killed in the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, pleaded with state lawmakers to pass gun legislation. The Republican-controlled legislature has stripped away gun restrictions over the past decade.
President Joe Biden said in a statement he was “deeply disappointed” by the Supreme Court ruling. It “contradicts both common sense and the Constitution, and should deeply trouble us all,” he said.
He urged states to pass new laws. “I call on Americans across the country to make their voices heard on gun safety. Lives are on the line,” he said.
The decision struck down a New York law requiring people to demonstrate a particular need for carrying a gun in order to get a license to carry a gun in a concealed way in public. The justices said that requirement violates the Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the majority that the Constitution protects “an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.” That right is not a “second-class right,” Thomas wrote. “We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need.”
California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island all have laws similar to New York’s. Those laws are expected to be quickly challenged.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., said the ruling came at a particularly painful time, with New York mourning the deaths of 10 people in a shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo. “This decision isn’t just reckless. It’s reprehensible. It’s not what New Yorkers want,” she said.
Gun control groups called the decision a significant setback. Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice and an expert on the Second Amendment, wrote on Twitter that the decision could be the “biggest expansion of gun rights” by the Supreme Court in U.S. history.
Republican lawmakers were among those cheering the decision. Tom King, president of the plaintiff New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, said he was relieved.
“The lawful and legal gun owner of New York State is no longer going to be persecuted by laws that have nothing to do with the safety of the people and will do nothing to make the people safer,” he said. “And maybe now we’ll start going after criminals and perpetrators of these heinous acts.”
The court’s decision is somewhat out of step with public opinion. About half of the voters in the 2020 presidential election said gun laws in the U.S. should be made more strict, according to AP VoteCast, an expansive survey of the electorate. An additional one-third said laws should be kept as they are, while only about 1 in 10 said gun laws should be less strict.
About 8 in 10 Democratic voters said gun laws should be made more strict, VoteCast showed. Among Republican voters, roughly half said laws should be kept as they are, while the remaining half closely divided between more and less strict.
In a dissent joined by his liberal colleagues, Justice Stephen Breyer focused on the toll from gun violence.
Since the beginning of this year, “there have already been 277 reported mass shootings — an average of more than one per day,” Breyer wrote. He accused his colleagues in the majority of acting “without considering the potentially deadly consequences” of their decision. He said the ruling would “severely” burden states’ efforts to pass laws “that limit, in various ways, who may purchase, carry, or use firearms of different kinds.”
Several other conservative justices who joined Thomas’ majority opinion also wrote separately to add their views.
Justice Samuel Alito criticized Breyer’s dissent, questioning the relevance of his discussion of mass shootings and other gun death statistics. Alito wrote that the court had decided “nothing about who may lawfully possess a firearm or the requirements that must be met to buy a gun” and nothing “about the kinds of weapons that people may possess.”
“Today, unfortunately, many Americans have good reason to fear they will be victimized if they are unable to protect themselves.” The Second Amendment, he said, “guarantees their right to do so.”
Justice Brett Kavanaugh, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, noted the limits of the decision. States can still require people to get a license to carry a gun, Kavanaugh wrote, and condition that license on “fingerprinting, a background check, a mental health records check, and training in firearms handling and in laws regarding the use of force, among other possible requirements.”
Backers of New York’s law had argued that striking it down would lead to more guns on the streets and higher rates of violent crime. Gun violence, on the rise during the coronavirus pandemic, has spiked anew. Gun purchases have also risen.
In most of the country gun owners have little difficulty legally carrying their weapons in public. But that had been harder to do in New York and the handful of states with similar laws. New York’s law, in place since 1913, says that to carry a concealed handgun in public, a person applying for a license has to show “proper cause,” a specific need to carry the weapon.
The state had issued unrestricted licenses where a person could carry a gun anywhere and restricted licenses allowing a person to carry the weapon but just for specific purposes such as hunting and target shooting or to and from their place of business.
The challenge to the New York law was brought by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, which describes itself as the nation’s oldest firearms advocacy organization, and two men seeking an unrestricted ability to carry guns outside their homes.
The Supreme Court last issued a major gun decision in 2010. In that decision and a ruling from 2008 the justices established a nationwide right to keep a gun at home for self-defense. The question for the court this time was just about carrying a gun outside the home. Thomas, who turned 74 on Thursday, wrote in his opinion that: “Nothing in the Second Amendment’s text draws a home/public distinction with respect to the right to keep and bear arms.”

BREAKING: Charlotte Hornets Draft C Jalen Duren
Moments ago, the Charlotte Hornets selected Jalen Duren out of Memphis with the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.
Fits the bill of a high-ceiling NBA big. However, he's not fully developed at this time and is still considered a bit raw. Arguably the best rebounder in the draft; a natural at it. Duren should have no trouble averaging 10 rebounds per game at the next level. Solid on the defensive and has a tendency to be a gamechanger at the rim. Offensively, still has some room to grow, but the potential is there.
Fit with the Hornets: Duren would compete right away for some serious minutes, although I do not believe he would be in the starting lineup to begin his career. The hope would be that over time, he could develop into that solid two-way center that makes an impact on both ends of the floor. Depending on who the other bigs are on the roster, Duren could slide into a starting role toward the back half of his rookie campaign.

I’ve found different trimmers work well for different purposes. For instance, one that works best on sideburns might not be as effective for manscaping. This is why I own several.
Unfortunately, my bathroom cabinet is overflowing with personal grooming accessories, along with other products such as beard combs and various beard balms. Since Wahl has a comprehensive beard trimming kit, I wanted to see if I could make some space using the Wahl Groomsman Battery-Operated Beard Trimmer as my all-in-one trimming solution.
What is the Wahl Groomsman beard trimmer?
The Wahl Groomsman Beard Trimmer is an affordable trimming kit that comes with everything you need to groom your beard and maintain your trimmer. It has an ergonomic design, a battery-powered option and self-sharpening stainless steel blades. It includes three fixed guards and one adjustable guard, creating 10 different trimming lengths.
How does a Wahl Groomsman beard trimmer work?
You need two AA batteries to power the Groomsman. To operate, choose a trimming length and install a fresh battery. Then, press the red travel-lock button down to slide the power switch up into the “on” position. When finished, press the red travel-lock button down and slide the power switch down into the “off” position. To clean, simply remove the guard and brush off all clippings.
What you need to know before purchasing a Wahl Groomsman beard trimmer
This battery-powered trimmer is ideal for beard grooming and spot trimming. I was a little worried that it wouldn’t be as effective since it didn’t feel very sturdy in my hand. However, it operated as expected, with its performance being comparable to my other, higher-priced trimmers.
There are a lot of accessories included with this kit. This increases its versatility, potentially making it the only trimmer you require. On the downside, you need space to store these parts.
If you plan to regularly use the Groomsman trimmer on other parts of your body, it will work fine. However, since this model is battery-powered and it only lasted for about 30 minutes, the cost of replacing batteries might become prohibitive. The rechargeable Groomsman is a better option for this purpose.
Where to buy a Wahl Groomsman beard trimmer
The Wahl Groomsman battery-operated beard trimmer is available on Amazon for just $12. The rechargeable model is available on Amazon for $24.00.
Other beard trimmers worth considering
Remington MB4700 Smart Beard Trimmer
If you want a high-end beard trimmer, this Remington is a solid option. It has a digital touchscreen that lets you choose from 175 shaving lengths (in 0.1-millimeter increments) for unparalleled precision. It has a recall setting for convenience, so the trimmer wakes to the last length you used most recently.
Sold by Amazon
The dial-up design of this beard trimmer lets you quickly select between 10 trimming lengths. The blades have a rounded, skin-friendly edge that lessen irritation and mean fewer scratches. You can detach the blade for quick and easy cleaning.
Sold by Amazon
The Gillette Styler is a beard trimmer and ProGlide Razor combination that comes with three comb attachments. The razor is compatible with most of Gillette’s five-blade razor refills, and the trimmer is shower-safe.

LIVERMORE — An innovative new scholarship program at Las Positas College (LPC) is calling on the ‘best of the best’ to enhance their educational experience while securing a brighter future.
Called the President’s Scholars Program, the scholarship is modeled after curriculum found at a number of four-year universities in California and across the country. Students selected will have their full tuition at LPC and fees paid for up to two years. They will also receive an annual $1,000 stipend for books and materials, personal use of a laptop computer for two years and a complimentary parking permit each term.
“The President’s Scholars Program is a comprehensive scholarship program that offers outstanding opportunities in academics, leadership, service and mentorship for our students,” said Foster. “To my knowledge, there are only a handful of community colleges in California that have similar programs.”
Qualifying students must be graduating seniors from a public high school within the Livermore, Dublin and Pleasanton school districts with a 2.5 or higher grade point average (GPA). They must also have applied for admission to Las Positas College for the fall 2022 semester and enrolled full time (at least 12 units) each term, while pursuing an associate degree with plans to transfer to a four-year college or university.
Chosen by a small selection committee comprised of college employees and chaired by Foster, 20 students will be inducted into the program for the 2022-23 academic year. Selections will be based on the students’ personal statement, which asks them to describe their unique background (personal, cultural, family, community, extra-curricular, or other experiences) and any personal obstacles they’ve overcome to achieve academic success; explain why they want to be a President’s Scholar and how it will enhance their experience at LPC; and describe their dreams and goals in terms of future career goals.
“This program demonstrates LPC’s commitment to address the financial barriers that come with attending college by allowing us to support the families in our community by alleviating the cost of attendance, while allowing us to further highlight the amazing students who attend our college,” said Foster.
Students accepted will also have the opportunity to participate in the Las Positas Honors Transfer Program, which is designed to prepare highly motivated students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities and to build the intellectual and social skills needed for their success. In addition, President’s Scholars are expected to serve as ambassadors for the college; attending various events throughout the year as they represent the college on campus and within the community.
“These outstanding students, who will serve as our ambassadors, can certainly help by sharing their experiences with our community,” said Foster. “We want more students to take advantage of all of the wonderful opportunities that we have to offer.”
The deadline to apply for the President’s Scholar Program is July 15. Applicants can reach out to LPC Foundation Chairman, Kenneth Cooper at: kcooper@laspositascollege.edu. | https://www.independentnews.com/news/education_news/las-positas-launches-scholars-program/article_a3ed2070-f2ed-11ec-8548-7b128101d8e6.html | 2022-06-24T02:40:07Z | https://www.independentnews.com/news/education_news/las-positas-launches-scholars-program/article_a3ed2070-f2ed-11ec-8548-7b128101d8e6.html | false | 1 |

Arsenal Face Competition In Race For Ajax Star
According to Mike Verweij of the Telegraaf in the Netherlands, Arsenal face competition from Manchester United in the race for Ajax centre-back Lisandro Martinez.

A striking and unusual species has come a knocking on Cape Cod this month, a bird we rarely see. Adults of this mystery species have been seen in Provincetown last month and Falmouth last week. Another has seemingly settled in for the summer over at Nickerson State Park in Brewster. When I say the name, I guarantee that a lot of you will say “Come on, I see those all the time!” But I’m, in fact, talking about the rarest woodpecker in the region, the Red-headed Woodpecker. If you are confused, then you are likely thinking of the fairly common Red-bellied Woodpecker, which also has a red head, and not much of a red belly, if we’re being honest. So it’s ok, I’m not mad at you – my mom used to confuse them, too. You’re just another victim of terribly named birds. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642263670856/surrogate-turkey-families-being-sought-on-cape-cod | 2022-06-24T02:46:39Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2642263670856/surrogate-turkey-families-being-sought-on-cape-cod | true | 1 |

Keegan Murray gives the Sacramento Kings a better chance of making the playoffs right away then Jaden Ivey does.
Jaden Ivey has the higher ceiling, but not by much. And based on college production, Keegan Murray is BPA.

SAN FRANCISCO: U.S. San Francisco Mayor London Breed on Thursday announced the opening of the city’s first drug sobering center.
The SoMa RISE (Recover, Initiate, Support, and Engagement) Center in the South of Market neighborhood, is a safe indoor space for people who are intoxicated with opioids, methamphetamines, or other substances to come in off the streets, rest and stabilize, and get connected to care and services, the announcement said.
The South of Market and Tenderloin neighbourhoods have the city’s highest overdose rates, predominantly among individuals who are experiencing homelessness.
SoMa RISE is part of the city’s response to the drug overdose crisis and aims to save lives from overdose deaths and reduce public drug use, while prioritizing support for people experiencing homelessness who have substance use dependency.
The center will support up to 20 participants at a time with some flexibility. Most individuals seeking care are anticipated to stay 4 to 12 hours, during which time they can rest, stabilize, and access basic services like bathrooms, showers, beds, and a meal, according to the announcement.
“Our city is experiencing a substance use and mental health crisis that is sadly affecting far too many residents,” said Breed. “The opening of the SoMa RISE Center will not only provide a safe space for individuals in need, but it brings us one step closer to making a difference in these people’s lives and the lives of all San Franciscans.”

Jon Cooper backtracked and shifted a possible missed call to the rearview mirror with the expertise of a coach who has been here before. Counterpart Jared Bednar, on the verge of his first NHL championship, sought to settle the issue once and for all and move on.
Still, the Stanley Cup Final is roaring toward a conclusion full of uncertainty about the officiating, which is in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after Nazem Kadri’s overtime goal put the Colorado Avalanche up 3-1 in the best-of-seven series.
The goal came with what Cooper and his Tampa Bay Lightning thought was too many men on the ice. No penalty was called, and now the Avalanche are one victory away from knocking off the back-to-back defending champions.
“Will one call make the difference in the series? No,” Hall of Fame goaltender Grant Fuhr said in a phone interview. “Colorado was the better team in overtime, there’s no question. Do you hope it doesn’t end on a play like that? Yeah. You hope that it’s something nice and clean and simple because instead of talking about what a good hockey game it was, everybody’s talking about the play.”
The play in question involved Kadri — playing his first game of the final after injuring his right thumb — jumping on the ice for a line change early, with teammate Nathan MacKinnon still roughly 40 feet from the bench. When Kadri scored, MacKinnon still had a skate on the ice, and the joining player isn’t supposed to even touch the puck in that situation.
“Players, we’re looking for every inch to get an advantage and try and jump in the play when you know your change is coming,” Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh said Thursday. “It’s impossible to say what’s the right decision there. It’s so fast, and it probably happens a million more times a game more than we think.”
There’s some leeway for officials to judge too many men on the ice, and Tampa Bay technically had seven, though the players changing for each other were much closer to the home bench.
“You’re changing on the fly, everything happens,” Bednar said. “I count 7-6 at one point, so that is what it is. That’s the way the game is played. I don’t see it as a break or a non-break. I actually see it as nothing.”
In a statement sent to The Associated Press after Colorado’s 3-2 victory, the league’s Department of Hockey Operations deemed it a judgment call.
“In discussing the winning goal, each of the four officials advised that they did not see a too many men on the ice situation on the play,” the statement read. “This call is not subject to video review either by Hockey Ops or the on-ice officials.”
Should it be?
The NHL expanded video review in 2015 to coach’s challenges for offside and goaltender interference. Incidents in the 2019 playoffs led to more situations that coaches and officials can take an extra look at in the name of getting it right, though it’s limited to potential stoppages like a hand pass or the puck hitting the protective netting above the glass.
But at a time when video reviews put a drag on games in all sports and leagues are working to trim those extra minutes of precious time, there’s hardly an appetite for the NHL to make EVERYTHING subject to replay.
General managers will undoubtedly discuss this at the draft in Montreal next month, and perhaps the long-debated, so-called “eye in the sky” third referee concept will pick up steam. That could address at least the most obvious missed calls that might be seen and caught better from atop an arena than in the middle of all the action on the ice.
“They’ve got the hardest job in sport,” Fuhr said of NHL officials. “The game’s gotten bigger, faster and they have to keep up and there’s going to be missed calls along the way. That’s just hockey.”
Hotly debated calls have long been a part of hockey, and many New York Islanders fans were quick to point out the Lightning appeared to have too many men on the ice for the only goal in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final last year. Philadelphia Flyers fans still bring up the “Leon Stickle Game” when the linesman of that name missed an obvious offside on an Islanders goal in the 1980 clinching game of their first of four Stanley Cup championships in a row.
Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier, a star of that Islanders dynasty who won his seventh Cup title as an Avalanche assistant in 2001 and is coaching in the new 3ICE 3-on-3 league with Fuhr, said winning is about managing “the lucky bounce, the fortuitous bounce, the referee call: the something that can happen that’s out of your control that just kind of goes against you.”
READ MORE: Avs 1 win away from Stanley Cup after Kadri’s OT tally in Game 4 versus Lightning
“Those things, they can go for you or against you,” Trottier said. “You’ve got to take advantage when they go for you, and you’ve got to just move on when they go against you.”
Another judgment call earlier in the Game 4 allowed a Lightning goal to count after the puck shot at Avalanche goaltender Darcy Kuemper knocked his mask off, with officials deciding not to stop play because the rulebook states it should continue if a scoring chance is in progress.
Before flying to Denver for Game 5 on Friday with his team down 3-1, Cooper tried to move on. Little more than 12 hours since he was nearly speechless, he called hockey “an inexact science” and sought to distance himself — sort of — from how Game 4 ended.
“What’s great about today is that it’s not yesterday,” Cooper said. “Nothing we can do to turn back. They missed it. It’s unfortunate, but it’s water under the bridge now. Let’s go get ready.”

“Those things, they can go for you or against you,” Trottier said. “You’ve got to take advantage when they go for you, and you’ve got to just move on when they go against you.”
Another judgment call earlier in the Game 4 allowed a Lightning goal to count after the puck shot at Avalanche goaltender Darcy Kuemper knocked his mask off, with officials deciding not to stop play because the rulebook states it should continue if a scoring chance is in progress.
Before flying to Denver for Game 5 on Friday with his team down 3-1, Cooper tried to move on. Little more than 12 hours since he was nearly speechless, he called hockey “an inexact science” and sought to distance himself — sort of — from how Game 4 ended.
“What’s great about today is that it’s not yesterday,” Cooper said. “Nothing we can do to turn back. They missed it. It’s unfortunate, but it’s water under the bridge now. Let’s go get ready.”

A Green Valley man who was booted from a local gathering of Republicans earlier this month will not be charged with assault but he faces a third-degree trespassing charge.
Peter Jackson, 73, recorded a video June 4 of an incident at an open candidate meet-and-greet hosted by United Republicans Green Valley and Sahuarita at Continental Shopping Plaza. The footage has since gone viral and has been used as political fodder in current campaigns.
The video shows Jackson — wearing a mask, sunglasses and a Black Lives Matter t-shirt — refusing to leave the event after being asked by attendees. Jackson was then surrounded and appeared to be struck twice by a woman in the crowd before appearing to push her away, according to the video.
Jackson was then jolted backward by GOP U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters and tossed out of the room by several people. Jackson, who has no ties to local Democratic groups, laid on the ground until sheriff's deputies arrived: He kept the video rolling during his 911 call.
After reviewing footage from the woman's phone and hearing from several witnesses who said Jackson struck the woman, Pima County Sheriff’s Department deputies cited Jackson for simple assault and trespassing.
They did not review Jackson's GoPro footage until a day later; the Sheriff's report makes no mention of the woman striking him.
During his arraignment in Green Valley Justice Court Thursday, the lead prosecutor in the case moved to dismiss the assault charge without prejudice, meaning the charge could be refiled.
Jackson pled not guilty to the trespassing charge, a Class 3 misdemeanor.
If found guilty, he faces a maximum $500 fine, 30 days in jail, or one year of probation, although the prosecution said Thursday they do not plan to seek jail time. There are no mandatory minimum penalties.
Judge Fred Klein heard the arraignment as pro tem for Green Valley Justice Court Presiding Judge Raymond Carroll, who was out of town.
A pre-trial conference for the trespassing case was set for July 27 in Green Valley.
Because of increased media attention surrounding the case, Green Valley court administrators drafted security protocol and limited attendance inside the courtroom on Thursday for safety reasons.

Which kitchen island stools are best?
In today’s kitchens, islands are not only work spaces, but also gathering spots for eating, drinking and socializing. Stools provide casual seating for friends and family to gather around your island. Like their barstool cousins, kitchen island stools come in many sizes and shapes and have a variety of features.
If you’re looking for stools with back and foot rests, take a look at the Leopard Modern Adjustable-Height Swiveling Kitchen Counter Bar Stools. The air-lift handle easily adjusts the height through a seven-inch range so your legs are supported in every position.
What to know before you buy kitchen island stools
The first kitchen islands were rollabout carts that provided additional counter and storage space wherever you needed it. When freestanding islands became part of modern kitchen design, they got bigger and people found another use for them. Built-in kitchen islands have overhangs on one or more sides so you can pull stools up to them for casual eating and drinking.
As the kitchen is the hub of most households, you want a kitchen island stool that lets you rest your arms comfortably on the counter, so you can eat without straining to reach your food.
Size
The best stools let you sit at a comfortable height for eating, drinking and socializing. No matter how good they might look, stools that are too tall or short will be uncomfortable.
Kitchen islands are typically around 42 inches tall, the same height as a pub table or bar. Standard barstool heights are about 30 inches, allowing enough space for your thighs between the top of the seat and the underside of the counter. Make sure to measure from the bottom of your counter, not the top, to determine what height stool you will need.
Materials
The frames of most island stools and barstools are made of wood, metal or plastic. Some have fabric or vinyl cushions or even woven cane seats. Look for stools whose design goes well with your kitchen’s decor.
Legs and arms
Four legs are more stable than three. and wider pedestals are more stable than narrower ones. Some stools have arms for greater comfort, but you may run into trouble getting them to fit under your kitchen island’s counter.
What to look for in quality kitchen island stools
Bare-bones stools for your kitchen island are the cheapest, but if you want to be able to eat, drink and socialize in maximum comfort, look for stools with features that help you relax.
Backrests
Traditional barstools are backless, which some find uncomfortable. If you want back support as you sit around your kitchen island, choose from stools with mild to full backs, padded or not.
Foot rests
Horizontal cross pieces that connect the legs of a stool add to its strength and stability. They also serve as foot rests, and are much more comfortable than stools where your legs dangle without support. Foot rests are also great for making laps.
Swivels
Stools that swivel let you turn easily in any direction, a handy feature to have in social spaces where people are coming and going. With more expensive stools, mechanisms that let the stool swivel are height-adjustable, too.
How much you can expect to spend on kitchen island stools
Plan on spending from $100-$600 for a set of four. Basic stools cost from $25-$50 each, depending upon the materials and the design. Cushioned stools with arms and backs cost $75-$150 each.
Kitchen island stools FAQ
Are adjustable stools worth the extra cost?
A. Because they can accommodate different-sized people in comfort, adjustable stools will provide enjoyment long after you’ve forgotten the extra cost.
Can I assemble my stools myself?
A. Assembly is a simple process for experienced do-it-yourselfers. Every assembly process goes easier if you have help, particularly someone who is skilled at using basic household tools.
Are kitchen island stools different from patio stools?
A. Patio stools and island stools share many of the same design features. The big difference is that patio stools are made of waterproof materials that are resistant to rust, moisture, fading and chipping. You can use an outdoor stool inside, but not the other way around.

NSW train drivers will drive slower and refuse to operate foreign-built trains as part of four days of industrial action next week.
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union says the action comes after the government cancelled a planned meeting on Friday.
RTBU secretary Alex Claassens said he was contacted late on Thursday night and told the meeting with transport officials and government ministers was cancelled, after already being postponed multiple times.
"It's beyond disappointing that the NSW government is continuing to play political games at the expense of workers and commuters," Mr Claassens said.
He said workers have been acting with good faith during the long-running negotiations for a new enterprise bargaining agreement after the old one expired over a year ago.
"All we want is for the government to deliver on the basic safety and workforce issues that we've been talking about for many months," Mr Claassens said.
The industrial action is slated to being Tuesday with a go-slow movement were drivers will not exceed 60 km/h.
On Wednesday, members would be indefinitely banned from moving back to the rail operations centre, and would only work from their current depot on Thursday, while also placing an indefinite ban on work relating to Sydney Metro.
On Friday members would refuse to drive foreign built trains, taking new trains introduced since 2011 out of service. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/transport/nsw-rail-union-continues-industrial-action-c-7284212 | 2022-06-24T03:19:03Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/transport/nsw-rail-union-continues-industrial-action-c-7284212 | true | 5 |

ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) — Deputies arrested a Florida man after they said he tried to bring a gun and extra magazines into Disney Springs on May 27. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said they were called to Disney Springs after they got a call about someone carrying a gun.
When deputies arrived, they said they took a black and bronze 9 millimeter Glock 19 with no assigned serial number, two extra magazines loaded with 17 rounds of ammo each, a small box with 14 more rounds of ammo inside and a waistband holster.
OCSO said they then took 35-year-old Aaron Josue Lopez into custody.
An arrest affidavit said Disney’s security system alerted staff when Lopez walked through it. He was taken to a bag checkpoint where he told security he had a folding knife in his bag.
After security told him they would still need to search his bag, he allegedly told them, “Oh there’s something else in here besides a knife that I want to put back in my car,” and tried to walk away.
The document states a Disney cast member stopped him and took him to an Orange County deputy. The guns and ammo were found in Lopez’s backpack.
Deputies said Lopez told them the gun didn’t have a serial number because he didn’t submit the paperwork to get one assigned yet. Deputies also could not find a valid conceal firearm license in any databases, though Lopez claimed he had one.
Lopez was charged with carrying a concealed firearm without a license. He was also trespassed from all Disney properties. | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/florida-man-tried-to-bring-gun-extra-ammo-into-disney-deputies-say/ | 2022-06-24T03:29:53Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/florida-man-tried-to-bring-gun-extra-ammo-into-disney-deputies-say/ | false | 23 |

(NewsNation) — U.S. Senators passed bipartisan gun legislation Thursday night, in a move to show the country it is willing to act quickly in the wake of mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde.
The Senate passed the bill 65-33, getting the 60 votes necessary in the evenly divided body. It will now move to the House.
Senators came to a bipartisan agreement on the 80-page gun bill earlier this week, voting 64-34 to advance the bill. Thursday’s procedural vote will prevent a filibuster from possibly blocking the legislation from moving to the House.
The legislation would toughen background checks for the youngest firearms buyers, require more sellers to conduct background checks and beef up penalties on gun traffickers. It also would disburse money to states and communities to improve school safety and mental health initiatives.
The legislation would also prevent people convicted of domestic abuse, but are not married to their partners, from owning a firearm.
Aides told The Associated Press the move would cost $15 billion.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Arizona sophomore Bennedict Mathurin figures he has a lot to bring to the Indiana Pacers.
“I feel like I'm a winner," said Mathurin, who was taken No. 6 overall by the Pacers in the NBA draft Thursday night. “I'm a really competitive guy. Off the court, I feel I'm a pretty funny guy.. I like doing a lot of fun stuff."
The Pacers could use some fun. This was the first time the Indiana had a single-digit draft pick since drafting George McCloud with the No. 9 draft pick in 1989, and it followed a 25-57 finish in the first season of coach Rick Carlisle’s second stint with Indiana. It was the Pacers’ fewest wins since 1984-85 when they finished 22-60.
Mathurin, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard/small forward, averaged 17.7 points. 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season, when he was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year. He shot 45% from the field, including 36.9% from 3-point range in helping the Wildcats reach the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
Mathurin was born and raised in Montreal and the Pacers added another Canadian at No. 31 in Gonzaga guard Andrew Nembhard.
“We have a pretty good team and I'm looking forward to having an impact right away,” Mathurin said. “The staff was really good to me when I went there for my team workout. I feel like they believe in me. Having people trust in my game is great.”
Mathurin, who turned 20 June 19, said the workout went well.
“This is a player that we have targeted for quite some time because we believe he has the ability to contribute immediately and become a key part of our foundation moving forward," Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard said. “As I mentioned after the NBA Draft Lottery, we intend to aggressively and proactively explore all options that we feel are in the best interest of our team, both in the short- and long-run. "
The 6-foot-5 Nembhard averaged 11.8 points and 5.8 assists last season. Nembhard, who started all 32 games for Gonzaga, made 45.2% of his shots last season, including 38.3% from 3-point territory.
The Pacers also held the No. 58 pick from Phoenix late Thursday.
Pritchard began a rebuild of the team after guards Malcolm Brogdon and T.J. McConnell, forward T.J. Warren and center Myles Turner all had lengthy absences because of injuries.
Warren missed the entire season with a foot injury. Brogdon played in just 36 games while Turner played in 42. McConnell played in 27 games. Both might have been able to play later in the season but were shut down with Pacers’ season going nowhere.
The Pacers traded two-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis to Sacramento in February, acquiring Tyrese Halliburton and Buddy Hield and and Jalen Smith.
With Halliburton, the Pacers appear to finally have a playmaking ball-handler.
“It's great to have a guy like Tyrese, who is a leader who likes to pass the ball,” Mathurin said. “Me being around him every day and learning every day will be a great thing.”
Indiana’s 2021 first-round pick Chris Duarte had a solid rookie season, averaging 13.1 points.
The Pacers traded Caris LeVert to Cleveland with the main prize being the the 2022 lottery protected first-round pick. Since Cleveland faded and didn’t make the playoffs, that pick will now be lottery protected for 2023.

Johnny Depp’s Defamation Trial Lawyer Camille Vasquez Will Represent the Actor in Court for Assault Case
Johnny Depp will once more be teaming up with Camille Vasquez. The lawyer will represent him in an upcoming trial.
According to new documents obtained by Insider, Vasquez is named as one of Depp's attorneys in an assault case brought against the Pirates of the Caribbean actor by Gregg "Rocky" Brooks.
Brooks was a location manager for Depp's 2018 movie, City of Lies.
Brooks filed a civil complaint against Depp, in which he alleges Depp hit him twice in the ribs and then yelled, "I'll give you $100,000 to punch me right now!" while on the set of the film.
The amount he is suing for remains undisclosed. However, it is related to 10 counts, including assault, emotional distress, wrongful termination and retaliation.
The complaint states that on April 13, 2017, Brooks informed Depp about filming limitations for the set of the movie. He alleges Depp then became irate and abused him both verbally and physically.
Brooks claims Depp's breath smelled of alcohol during the incident and that Depp's bodyguards had to restrain him from continuing his assault on Brooks. Brooks also claims he was fired from the film because he did not remain silent about the incident.
Previously, Vasquez represented Depp in his defamation case against Amber Heard. At the end of the trail, the jury found both Depp and Heard liable, but Depp was awarded the larger sum of money.
During the trial, Vasquez became a social media sensation after fans of the actor supported her. After the trial, she was promoted to partner at her law firm. | https://popcrush.com/johnny-depps-lawyer-camille-vasquez-will-represent-in-court-for-assault/ | 2022-06-24T03:48:12Z | https://popcrush.com/johnny-depps-lawyer-camille-vasquez-will-represent-in-court-for-assault/ | true | 5 |

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (WTAJ) — A Philadelphia judge dropped third-degree murder charges against a woman who was involved in a DUI crash that killed two state troopers and a civilian in March.
During a preliminary hearing Wednesday, June 22, Municipal Court Judge Karen Simmons dismissed murder of the third degree charges against Jayana Webb, 22 of Eagleville. She still faces 18 charges that include homicide by vehicle while DUI, manslaughter of a law enforcement officer in the second degree and recklessly endangering another person.
Webb’s bail was also set at $600,000 and a bail hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, June 29.
News of the dismissed charges reached the Pennsylvania State Troopers Association (PSTA) who are voicing their disapproval of the judges decision. PSTA President David Kennedy addressed the decision in a written statement released Thursday saying it is a blow against law and order.
“Our investigators did an amazing job. There was absolutely no testimony during yesterday’s hearing that should’ve led to the dismissal of the most serious charges. Judge Simmons struck another blow against law and order in Philadelphia,” Kennedy said. “Dismissing these charges sends another message to criminals that you can literally get away with murder. Once these charges are refiled by the district attorney’s office, it’s our hope a top prosecutor will be assigned to this case. Everything must be done to ensure justice is served for these brave troopers and their grieving families.”
State troopers Martin Mack, 33 and Branden Sisca, 29 were dispatched to Interstate 95 near milepost 18 in the city on March 21 at 12:40 a.m. for reports of a man walking in the southbound lanes.

A food drive hosted by Arkansas Valley Humane Society amassed 500 pounds of food from donations during its operation in Buena Vista and received $500 from High Country Bank.
The food drive was held June 17 to support AVHS operations and help feed kenneled animals.
The food drive began in Salida on June 10 where it collected 1,327 pounds of dry pet food from donators. The food drive continued its journey at High Country Bank in Buena Vista.
High Country Bank matched $1 to each pound of food the event received up to a maximum of $500 during the Salida event and the same for the Buena Vista drive.
Volunteers Chuck and Denise Washer, who help walk dogs for AVHS, ran the counter for the food drive in BV.
“This county is really amazing,” Denise said.
“Yeah, they really love and support their animals,” Chuck added.
Within 45 minutes of being set up, the drive had received close to 80 pounds of dry food and several boxes of wet food.
Included with the pet food, the drive collected $100 in donations throughout the day. By the end of the day, AVHS reached its goal of 500 pounds of food.
“We’re so thankful to the BV community for helping us reach our goal of 500 pounds of pet food donated. High Country Bank is graciously matching your contributions with a $500 donation to the animals of AVHS. Special thanks to our amazing volunteers who helped out at both of these events, we couldn’t have done it without you,” Ark-Valley Humane Society outreach manager Emy Luebbering said | https://www.chaffeecountytimes.com/community/avhs-pet-food-drive-piles-up-at-bank/article_7663fc24-f30a-11ec-a4d7-0783207245f2.html | 2022-06-24T04:14:47Z | https://www.chaffeecountytimes.com/community/avhs-pet-food-drive-piles-up-at-bank/article_7663fc24-f30a-11ec-a4d7-0783207245f2.html | false | 2 |
Which NutriBullet blender is best?
No home kitchen is complete without a blender. And while there are many makes to choose from, few can compare with the power and convenience offered by NutriBullet blenders. They make short work out of nearly any type of ingredient, and most are affordably priced.
NutriBullet makes both full-size and personal blenders. The former is better for making several servings, while the latter is best for making individual shakes and smoothies. Another option is to choose a model like the NutriBullet Rx, which is available with up to three containers of different sizes.
What to know before you buy a NutriBullet blender
Why choose a NutriBullet blender?
NutriBullet blenders hit the market in 2012 and have been popular with consumers ever since. For most people, they offer just the right balance of convenience and performance, without being exorbitantly expensive. NutriBullet blenders are powerful, with some models having a 1,700-watt motor to puree hard foods such as nuts and seeds, which is something that many other blenders can’t do. They also don’t have a large footprint, making them ideal for small and large kitchens alike.
Types of NutriBullet blenders
NutriBullet full-size blenders are akin to most common home kitchen blenders. They are large enough to make several servings and often have multiple speed settings and modes. NutriBullet’s full-size models also feature measurement markings on the blending container.
Personal blenders are ideal for making one or two servings. These have a very small footprint, so they won’t take up much space on a counter, yet are still very powerful and can puree most ingredients to a smooth consistency in seconds. They may or may not have an upside-down design and often come in a variety of eye-catching colors.
Immersion blenders, sometimes referred to as hand blenders, are very different from traditional kitchen blenders. They lack a blending jar and instead are designed to be held in the hand and placed into a bowl or pot containing the ingredients you want to puree.
What to look for in a quality NutriBullet blender
Capacity
NutriBullet blenders range in capacity from 24 to 64 ounces. Those between 24 and 32 ounces are considered personal blenders and have the brand’s telltale bullet shape. The full-size 64-ounce blenders are a better option if you want to make multiple servings for several people, while the smaller models are best for making yourself a smoothie to go.
Speed settings
NutriBullet’s personal blenders have a single speed setting, so there is no guesswork when blending your ingredients into shakes, smoothies and soups. Conversely, its full-size blenders usually have at least three speed settings and sometimes a few different blending modes.
Pulse button
A pulse button is helpful for those times you want precision control of your blending, or when you just need an extra second or two to crush some ice or make your shake a little smoother. You hold it down manually to initiate blending, and the blades will stop as soon as you release the button.
Heated blending
If you plan on making soups and sauces in your NutriBullet blender, choose a model with heated blending. This eliminates the need to separately heat up your food after blending it, which also means there will be one less dish to clean.
Vented lid
Hot ingredients release a lot of steam when blending them. To ensure this steam doesn’t cause the top to pop off and make a mess, some NutriBullet blenders have a vented lid.
Travel lid
Most NutriBullet personal blenders come with a travel lid so you can easily take your creation on the go and drink directly from the blending container, rather than having to use a separate travel mug.
Tamper
Sometimes you need to move around the ingredients in a blender a little bit to make sure everything blends evenly. That is where a tamper comes in handy. They stick through the lid and don’t go all the way down to the blades, so you can safely move around the ingredients during the blending process.
Multiple blending containers
Some NutriBullet blenders come with two or more blending containers in different sizes. This allows you to make larger servings when needed, or allows for two people in the same household to each make themselves a shake.
How much you can expect to spend on a NutriBullet blender
The smallest and most basic NutriBullet blenders start at $50. Larger or more advanced models cost between $85 and $125.
NutriBullet blender FAQ
Are NutriBullet blenders difficult to clean?
A. Most NutriBullet blenders are designed to be easy to clean. You just twist off the blade and rinse it in warm soapy water. The blending container can be placed in the dishwasher.
If my NutriBullet blender is leaking, does that mean it is broken?
A. Not necessarily. The most common reason a NutriBullet blender is leaking is due to user error. Check to make sure the gaskets are still seated correctly and that you have firmly and properly tightened the lid. It is also important not to fill it past the maximum fill line.

The question for weeks leading into the NBA draft was whether the first pick would be Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren or Jabari Smith Jr.
The answer finally came Thursday night in New York — and even Banchero didn’t know it until moments before the announcement of the Orlando Magic’s selection.
“I had a feeling from the information I was being told is that it was just kind of up in the air,” Banchero said. “Orlando wasn’t really sure yet, and just to be ready for whatever,
“I didn’t find out, though, that I was actually getting picked until about 20 seconds before the commissioner got on the stage. I didn’t even have time to really think about it or anything. It just kind of happened. I can’t believe it, but I’m ready. I’m ready.”
After leading the Blue Devils to the Final Four in coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final season, the 6-foot-10 forward was called first by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to begin the draft, beating out fellow first-year forwards Smith and Holmgren.
The order had been debated throughout the process, with Smith often considered the player who would go No. 1.
Instead, he wasn’t even second, falling behind Holmgren to Houston at No. 3.
“Definitely added a chip, but God makes no mistakes, so I’m happy to be here,” Smith said. “I’m happy to be where I’m wanted. I’m happy to get to Houston and just show them, give them what they picked. Just happy to be here.”
All the players picked looked thrilled, with Banchero among those crying or coming close as they hugged friends and family.
Wearing a purple suit full of bling, he received a loud ovation inside Barclays Center, where Duke lost in the ACC Tournament final.
The Magic were picking first for the fourth time and they’ve done well with their previous choices. They took Shaquille O’Neal in 1992, traded the rights to Chris Webber for Penny Hardaway the next year, and went with Dwight Howard in 2004.

All eventually reached the NBA Finals with the Magic.
Holmgren went second to the Oklahoma City Thunder after the 7-footer led the West Coast Conference in blocked shots, rebounding and shooting percentage at Gonzaga. He looked sharp in his black suit but may need it to eventually be a bigger size for success in the NBA, as he’s listed at just 195 pounds.
He’s not worried about that talk.
“I wake up every day with a plan on how to make myself a better person, better basketball player,” Holmgren said. “I put so much effort into executing that, that it doesn’t really leave room to put effort into things that, one, I can’t control, and two, don’t help make me better.”
The Rockets were happy to end up in Smith who has the skills to go higher. The 6-10 forward from Auburn is a natural fit in the current NBA game, able to defend all three frontcourt positions and with a shooting stroke that allowed him to hit 42% behind the arc.
Forward Keegan Murray, after a huge leap in his second season in Iowa, jumped all the way to the No. 4 pick by the Sacramento Kings. The Detroit Pistons, a year after taking Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick, took athletic Purdue guard Jaden Ivey fifth.
Before the selections began, Silver congratulated the Golden State Warriors on their recent NBA championship and reminded fans that their core of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green was built through the draft.
All the teams at the top of this draft need help and have recent high picks already on their rosters, so will hope the Warriors way works for them as well.
Bennedict Mathurin, a Canadian who played at Arizona, went to Indiana with the No. 6 pick. The Portland Trail Blazers followed with Kentucky’s Shaedon Sharpe, Dyson Daniels of the G League Ignite was taken eighth by New Orleans, Baylor’s Jeremy Sochan stayed in Texas with San Antonio at No. 9, and Washington rounded out the top 10 with Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis.

He was paid just over $2,000 for the haul. The church renovation is currently at a standstill as construction permits were never taken out and the copper elements cannot be replaced. The church, which was built in 1911, is on the National Register of Historic Places, although in 2017 it was named one of the most endangered buildings by Preservation Iowa.

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – Freetown-Port Rico could be seeing major developments near downtown. This comes as the Lafayette Community Development and Planning Department plans to re-zone the area.
The project will create better, safer, more pedestrian friendly streets along Johnston Street near downtown, Freetown, and UL’s campus. The city plans to do this by downzoning the areas of Freetown from a commercial heavy to a commercial mixed zone. Most residents are in support of the idea.
“Anyone in the neighborhood knows that we need more walkable streets, better bikeable streets, safer spaces for our UL students, safer spaces for the kids in our neighborhood, better walkability into downtown. It’s a simple premise,” Freetown Coterie Gabe Griffin said at a town hall meeting about the project Thursday. Griffin is one of many residents in support of downzoning the area.
Mary Sliman, who helped spearhead the project, says properties between Garfield Street and General Mouton along Johnston Street are zoned commercial heavy. By downzoning the area to commercial mixed, she says they can make Johnston Street more pedestrian friendly and connect Freetown-Port Rico with the downtown area.
“By doing this downzoning, doing our study, and seeing what are the opportunities along Johnston Street to give that feel, that’s what we’re working on with the rezoning and also some future projects once we see what our studies come back with,” Director of the Community Development and Planning Department Mary Sliman said.
Sliman says she hopes the downzoning would help people who want to redevelop properties. While some property owners say the plans would hinder their ability to develop, most business owners and Freetown residents welcome the change.
“We as residents don’t feel like our business owners are giving up much. That’s what we’re really here to do tonight was listen, hear anybody else’s point of view on this, if there was anything different that I hadn’t heard before, we wanted to hear it. But overall, we have residents that want safer streets and most of our business owners and residents seem to be in line with those visions of how do we make this UL, downtown, fabric of Freetown come together. So that’s what we’re here for,” Griffin added. The downzoning plans will be placed on the city council meeting for a final decision on July 19. | https://www.klfy.com/local/lafayette-parish/plans-to-rezone-freetown-to-create-better-walkability-along-johnston-street/ | 2022-06-24T04:47:33Z | https://www.klfy.com/local/lafayette-parish/plans-to-rezone-freetown-to-create-better-walkability-along-johnston-street/ | false | 1 |
