Judge Apology to WHCD Suspect, GOP Push to Flip Fetterman, Britney Spears Plea Deal: AM Update 5/5
5/5/202620 min
A DC magistrate judge apologizes in court to the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump, raising concerns about his jail conditions as the case moves forward. A search and rescue operation is underway off the coast of Morocco for two missing U.S. Army soldiers believed to have fallen into the ocean during a recreational hike. Republicans and President Trump are quietly working to flip John Fetterman as he increasingly breaks with Democrats, though he publicly insists he is staying in the party. Britney Spears pleads guilty to a reduced reckless driving charge in her DUI case, avoiding jail time while agreeing to probation, treatment, and strict new driving conditions.
