Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
President Trump is said to have secretly changed planes as he left a NATO summit in
“Turkey last month, taking a military jet home instead as a security precaution.”
This amount of threats. Trump boarded the old Air Force One, and the Washington Post says he was then smuggled off the plane in a catering truck to a military jet. That contradicts what the White House told the press traveling with Trump leaving reporters vulnerable.
Here's Tamara Keith has more. It's pretty remarkable to look back at the statement the White House put out that day from communications director Stephen Chang, quote, "As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal including distraction and misdirection to address those threats."
Little did we know just how much distraction and misdirection was hidden in plain sight.
In Piers' Tamara Keith, NPR has not verified the report.
Wisconsin and Minnesota are holding primary elections today. In Minnesota, there are two well-known names running for U.S. Senate and governor on the Republican ballot.
“From Minnesota Public Radio, Molly Castle work reports.”
My pillow founder, Mike Lindell, is running for governor against two well-established candidates and is endorsed by President Trump, which earned him the vote of Phil Connett. He's a business man, he knows how to run things, he gets things done, and hopefully he'll do the same for our state." The Republican race for Senate features former sports broadcaster Michelle Tafoya,
while Democrats chose between Congresswoman Andrew Craig and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan. Isaiah Wayne Davis voted for Flanagan. She's great, no APAC money, all individual donations, so love that she's representing the people's interests. The winners advance the November General Election.

More than 6 million acres of land, mostly in the Western U.S. has been burned by wildfires
so far this year. And here in Piers' Kirk Sigler reports, fire managers are warning the traditional summer fire season as barely halfway through. Half of the some 100 out of control wildfires in the U.S. right now are burning in the northwest, the top priority for firefighters are 2 100,000 acre plus fires in Oregon and
Washington. Washington's Public Lands Commissioner Dave Up the Grove says crews are making progress in Spokane where whole neighborhoods were leveled last week. We have a long way to go. That's why I need your help.
Don't be the spark that starts the next fire. Please follow the burn bands. Please be extra careful with anything that could cause a spark. The wildfires in the northwest are believed to have largely been ignited by lightning, except authorities have arrested a man suspected of arson in connection with Spokane's
most destructive wildfire. Kirk Sigler and PR News. This is NPR News from Washington. Former Marine Robert Gilman has been released from years of detention in Russia on humanitarian grounds.
The U.S. citizen will be medically and psychologically assessed at a hospital in Texas. The 32-year-old has been detained since 2022. He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison after being accused of fighting a Russian police officer at a train station which he denies. His family claims Russia wrongfully detained him because he's American.
Dallas County, Texas has released the autopsy report for an Afghan immigrant who died in ice custody in March, classifying the man's death as an accident. Houston Public Media's Andrew Schneider reports the county had earlier declined to release the report, citing an ongoing federal criminal investigation. The medical examiner said Muhammad Nazir Paktiowal died because of anaphylaxis complicating
acute asthma exacerbation. He also said methemphetamine was in Paktiowal's system. The autopsy report does not explain how Paktiowal might have obtained methemphetamine during the brief time use in ice custody. It is not addressed whether or how his asthma was being treated, nor does it identify the substance
that triggered the fatal allergic reaction. Paktiowal served alongside U.S. Army Special Forces and Afghanistan for more than a decade before being resettled in Texas in 2021 after Kabul felt to the Taliban. He was seized by ice outside his home near Dallas on March 13th and was dead less than 24 hours later.
