President Trump apparently secretly switched to a different plane as he left a NATO summit
“in Turkey last month due to security concerns, contradicting public statements from the White”
House. Dan Lamoth was part of the Washington Post's reporting team that broke the story. The President walked up the external steps to the old Air Force 1, waived to the cameras, and then almost immediately, we're told, walked off the plane on the opposite side of the aircraft, onto an elevated airport caring truck that truck then lowers back to ground
level, drives over to a smaller plane, a C32, and gets back on that other smaller plane. Secretary P. Heggseth walks up the external stairs to that C32, making it look like he's
the senior official board, and then in sequence those planes fly to Britain with the larger
plane, carrying the Air Force 1 call sign, despite the President not being a board. Dan Lamoth speaking there to NPR's all things considered, NPR hasn't independently verified the report.
“In Boston, a federal judge has expanded a court order blocking a key part of President”
Trump's executive order to limit voting by mail in the midterm election. And here's Hansi Lowong, has more. The latest ruling by U.S. District Judging dear to Lani bands the U.S. Postal Service I'm trying to finish carrying out President Trump's directives in every state, not just the 23-mainly Democratic-led states plus Washington, he sees that suit over the order.
The judge was a nominee of former President Barack Obama found the voting rights groups that made this request are likely to prove in their lawsuit that Trump's order oversteps the President's authority under the Constitution and increases confusion among voters. Trump's order calls for U.S. P.S., which is financial support of NPR, to get lists of eligible voters from states and deliver mail in bounds only to people on those lists. The president
has said he issued this sort of stop illegal voting by non-U.S. citizens, which many studies have found to be extremely rare on Zee Lowong and P.R. News. The man accused of killing the CEO of United Health Care was back in state court today and Manhattan for what's expected to be a final hearing for Luigi Mangione before his murder trial next month.
If here's Ryan Man reports, the judge says the jury in the case will be anonymous. The attorney's accused of gunning down insurance executive Brian Thompson on New York City Street in 2024 because of the national debate over health care access and insurance costs, Mangione has drawn significant support online with fans and supporters showing up at the courthouse for each hearing. During this session, Judd Gregory Carrow said jury selection
will begin September 8. He signaled that jurors' identities will be kept from the press and the public. This comes as Mangione's defense team has argued for more media access
to the trial. A second trial in federal court is expected to get underway in January,
Brian Man and P.R. News, New York. You're listening to NPR News. Senator Darling Graham will advance to a Republican special primary runoff election for U.S. Senate in South Carolina scheduled for later this month, as according to a race call by the Associated Press. South Carolina Republicans voted today to decide who will be the
party's nominee this November, following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham last month. President Trump is backing Senator Darling Graham, who was appointed by South Carolina's governor last month to complete her late brother's term. It's already been a record year for a cyclist for ISIS outbreaks. Now the CDC is warning that jalapenos grown in Mexico are sickening more than 300 people in 27 states with
Samanella, which also causes diarrhea. His impairs U.P. Neguchi reports. Feedborn outbreaks are often under-reported in challenging for state health departments to manage. But Dr. Anne Zing, former chief medical officer for the state of Alaska, says
“cuts to federal funding of key health agencies hurt operations this year.”
Ecodemiologists and team reach out to CDC regularly to understand what they're seeing in a larger contact nationally, which is really important. And when those personnel are gone, the positions are unfilled. It really slows not only the reporting, but the disease investigation. The number of cyclists for ISIS cases reported by Missouri shot up to nearly 1,600 recently. Michigan, the epicenter, has over 12,000 cases. You can neguchi NPR news.
