The FBI raided former President Trump's Florida home. |
Unclear. But Trump's son, Eric, says the FBI executed a search warrant as part of its investigation into Trump allegedly taking classified documents from the White House. In February, the National Archives and Records Administration accused Trump of moving 15 boxes to his private golf club in Palm Beach, FL. Taking classified documents is a crime that could disqualify Trump from holding office ever again — a position many believe Trump has been eyeing in 2024. But the FBI and Justice Dept have yet to confirm the reason behind the search warrant. |

Executing a search warrant on senior gov officials is rare — and unprecedented for a former president. It's still unclear what this was about — and what, if anything, was found. |

What has a community shaken up… |
The killings of four Muslim men. Over the span of two weeks, three men were shot and killed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And police believe the deaths could also be connected to the killing of another Muslim man in November. Police have not identified a suspect or motive — and have yet to label the killings a hate crime. But they are asking for the public's help in finding a "vehicle of interest." |
Ahmaud Arbery's. Yesterday, his killers — Gregory McMichael and son Travis McMichael — were sentenced to life in prison. Both were given another life sentence plus several years for committing federal hate crimes against the 25-year-old Black man they chased and shot in 2020. Their neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan — who cornered Arbery and recorded the shooting — was also sentenced to 35 years. |
Who people are remembering… |
Olivia Newton-John. Yesterday, the singer, songwriter, and actress died at the age of 73 after a battle with cancer. The British-Australian star dominated an era of pop culture, from her iconic role as Sandy in the beloved movie musical "Grease" to topping the charts in the 1970s and '80s with songs like "Physical" and "I Honestly Love You." |
Earth. In June, scientists say Earth's rotation was 1.59 milliseconds short of the normal 24-hour day — making it the shortest day since the invention of the atomic clock. |
