results in 2020 when the president falsely claimed fraud in his loss to President Joe Biden.

For NPR News, I'm Alex Helmick in Atlanta. >> Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA are expected at

for the U.S. men's team in this World Cup. Australia was the underdog. Turkey has more players in Europe's top tier leagues, including bonafide stars like Real Madrid's Art of Guller and the Juventus attacker, Kenan Yildas. But the Sakaruz stunned Turkey by winning two nil.

That sets up next Friday's USA Australia game to be a big one. If the Americans win, they will be in the driver's seat for their group and a great position in the knockout bracket.
