Live from NPR news on child Snyder during his prime time speech to the nation...
President Trump revived his long-running allegations about U.S. election security, focusing
“heavily on China, and here's Daniel Kursleyman.”
Well, he said he's declassifying and releasing documents regarding the security of U.S. elections. And he talked about those documents as covering any number of theories about how he says U.S. elections have been interfered with, including by foreign actors like China. Now to be upfront, we're being careful how we talk about this, because like you said,
Trump has spread disinformation and lies about elections for years. So I'm claim that Beijing improperly acquired data about millions of U.S. voters saying that presents an unprecedented election security nightmare. His remarks contradict U.S. intelligence findings and a spokesperson for the Chinese
embassy in Washington said China has never and will never interfere in the U.S. presidential
election. Trump's remarks about China come two months before leaders Xi Jinping is due in Washington for a summit. While Trump focused mostly on his election security claims he did mention the war with Iran, saying the U.S. is winning amid escalating back and forth attacks.
“U.S. military says it has completed its latest wave of attacks that have expanded to”
include strikes on bridges inside Iran. With those renewed strikes in Iran, oil prices rising again in Paris, Julia Simon reports that some U.S. lawmakers want to tax oil company profits. Sheldon White House, Democratic Senator from the state of Rhode Island, proposed the windfall oil profit tax bill earlier this year.
Here's how he says it would work. You look at the average price of a barrel of oil before the war. You compare that to the price spikes today. You look at the resulting profits. And then you split the difference. We're actually somewhat generous about letting him keep
half of the excess profits. The government would distribute the money to lower income Americans in the form of tax rebates. About a dozen senators have signed on to the bill.
They goil companies are expected to announce higher second quarter profits later this month.

Epstein. The meeting at the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, DC lasted for about an
“hour and followed a demand from a Republican senator who's support is crucial to Blanch's”
nomination to lead the Justice Department. After word Blanch told reporters that the meeting was not all cordial. The home land security department is changing its rules for foreign students. NPR is a listen-ad warning reports that a department is adding fixed limits to how long international students can stay in the U.S.
Historically, international students could remain in the states as long as they were making progress in their academic program. Under the new rule, most foreign students will be admitted to the U.S. for a fixed period of time, up to four years. If they need more time to finish, which many students do, they will now have to apply
for a formal extension. Fantaaw, the Executive Director and CEO of NASA, the Association of International Educators, called the move misguided and unnecessary, a solution in search of a problem. Universities worry, this could impact programs with variable durations, such as graduate programs, medical schools, and PhDs.
Already, international student enrollment for graduate programs is down compared with last year. Alyssa Admourney and Pernus.
