18 passengers from a cruise ship tied to a deadly hantavirus outbreak are now being monitored at U.S. health facilities, with one person testing “mildly” positive. The suspect charged in last month’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting pleads not guilty, as his attorneys move to remove U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro and other Trump administration prosecutors from the case. Former President Biden is preparing to attempt to block the release of audio recordings from his 2017 memoir interviews, which became evidence in Special Counsel Robert Hur’s classified documents investigation - president of the Oversight Project Mike Howell weighs in. The undefeated national champion Indiana Hoosiers visited the White House to celebrate the program’s first title, though star quarterback Fernando Mendoza missed the event because of NFL rookie commitments.
