Police have identified the motorcyclist who died in a crash east of Adamstown on Sunday afternoon, after the motorcycle hit a car head-on.
The House Oversight chairman says he plans to move forward with holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress. Rep. James Comer says a more-than-hourlong briefing he received Monday from FBI officials about an unverified law enforcement tip against President Joe Biden isn't enough to comply with a subpoena. Republicans are demanding a copy of a document that contains unverified allegations against President Biden and his family. Democrats say the FBI has already investigated the allegation and did not find it worthy of further investigation. The FBI says in a statement that the escalation to a contempt vote is “unwarranted.”
Lawyers for Donald Trump were meeting with Justice Department officials on Monday as a decision nears on whether to bring charges over the handling of classified documents at the former president’s Florida estate. The Trump lawyers two weeks ago requested a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland to raise concerns about what they alleged was prosecutorial misconduct and overreach by the team led by special counsel Jack Smith. But a defense attorney meeting with Justice Department officials is also often used as an opportunity to try to persuade them against bringing criminal charges.
A wealthy driver has been fined 121,000 euros ($129,544) for speeding in Finland, where such penalties are calculated on the basis of an offender’s income. The main newspaper for Finland's Aaland Islands quoted Anders Wiklöf as saying in an article published Monday, “I really regret the matter.” Wiklöf was driving 82 kilometers per hour (51 miles per hour) in a 50 kilometer per hour zone when police ticketed him Saturday. The Nya Aaland newspaper said that along with the fine, he had his driver’s license suspended for 10 days. It wasn’t the first time Wiklöf was caught driving too fast. He had to cough up 63,680 euros in 2018 and 95,000 euros five years earlier.

Three chemical manufacturing companies have reached a deal to resolve complaints of polluting many U.S. drinking water systems with compounds known as PFAS. DuPont and spinoff companies Chemours and Corteva said Friday they'll create a $1.18 billion fund that could compensate thousands of public water systems. PFAS chemicals are used widely in nonstick and water-resistant products, as well as some firefighting foams. Many water providers have sued the three DuPont companies and others that made or used the compounds. A federal judge must approve the settlement before it takes effect.
The Department of Justice has informed former Vice President Mike Pence’s legal team that it won't pursue criminal charges related to the discovery of classified documents at his Indiana home. The department sent a letter to Pence’s attorney on Thursday informing him that, after an investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information, no criminal charges will be sought. The news comes days before Pence plans to launch his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination for president. It's a campaign that would put him in direct competition with former President Donald Trump.
The Associated Press has obtained more than 4,000 pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s jail suicide from the federal Bureau of Prisons under the Freedom of Information Act. They include a detailed psychological reconstruction of the events leading to Epstein’s suicide, as well as his health history, internal agency reports, emails and memos and other records. The documents obtained Thursday provide the most complete accounting of Epstein’s detention and death, and its chaotic aftermath. The records help to dispel the many conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s suicide, underscoring how fundamental failings at the Bureau of Prisons — including severe staffing shortages and employees cutting corners — contributed to Epstein’s death.

Jury selection in the trial of an ex-sheriff's deputy charged with failing to confront the Parkland, Florida, school shooter has gotten off to a speedy start. Prosecutors and the attorney representing former Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson began choosing a jury Wednesday, concluding the preliminary phase in just one day. That is two days shorter than expected. Some 55 finalists will be brought back Monday for the final selection. Prosecutors says Peterson committed child neglect when he failed to enter a classroom building at Marjory Stoneman High School in February 2018 and confront shooter Nikolas Cruz. Peterson says he didn't know where the shots were coming from. Seventeen were killed in the Valentine's Day shooting.

A lawyer for the man charged in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history has acknowledged that he planned and carried out the massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue and made hateful statements about Jewish people. Defense attorney Judy Clarke told jurors Tuesday that Robert Bowers went to the Tree of Life synagogue and “shot every person he saw." Bowers went on trial Tuesday, more than four years after the attack that killed 11 worshippers. He could face the death penalty if he is convicted of some of the 63 counts he faces. The defense hopes to persuade the jury to spare his life.

The city of Portland, Oregon, will take steps to remove tents blocking sidewalks under a tentative settlement announced Thursday in a lawsuit brought by people with disabilities. The federal class action lawsuit alleged that the city violated the American with Disabilities Act by allowing tents to obstruct sidewalks. The plaintiffs included a caretaker and nine people with disabilities who use wheelchairs, scooters, canes and walkers to get around. They said the homeless encampments prevent them from navigating the city. The settlement still requires approval from the City Council and the U.S. District Court in Portland. The City Council last year voted to ban existing street encampments.
A federal lawsuit alleges that Tennessee’s decision to deny its employees gender-affirming care is unconstitutional and discriminatory. The legal challenge was brought by two people who were denied transgender medical services while working for the state. The lawsuit notes that Tennessee currently provides counseling and psychological treatment for gender dysphoria but does not cover treatment “for, or related to, sex transformations” even if such services are considered medically necessary. The lawsuit in Tennessee comes as the GOP-led Volunteer State has joined other red states around in the country in advancing anti-transgender policies.
Three people including two police officers have been killed in central Japan and a suspect with a rifle and knife is holed up inside a house. Police say two women later escaped from the house. A witness earlier told NHK public television that a woman fell while being chased by the suspect, who then stabbed her with a knife and shot at two police officers as they arrived at the scene. Police say the three were taken to a nearby hospital, where they were later pronounced dead. Kyodo News says a fourth person who was injured could not be rescued because he was near the suspect.
A 95-year-old Australian woman has died a week after a police officer shot her with a stun gun in a nursing home as she moved toward him using a walker and carrying a steak knife, in a tragedy that has outraged many Australians. Clare Nowland, who had dementia, had been hospitalized since her skull was fractured when she fell on May 17 after Constable Kristian White shocked her with a stun gun. Police announced her death hours after reporting that White has been ordered to appear in court on assault and other charges. The charges are likely to be upgraded following her death.
A federal prosecutor who President Joe Biden nominated to become a U.S. district judge in Kansas has withdrawn his name from consideration. Jabari Wamble cited a nearly two-year wait for action in a letter to the Democratic president on Tuesday. Wamble is a U.S. attorney in Kansas. The White House on Wednesday didn't offer an explanation for Wamble's withdrawal but called him "deeply qualified" and said Biden is proud to have nominated him. Wamble is Biden's second judicial nominee to drop out this month. Last week, attorney Michael Delaney backed out of consideration for the U.S. appeals court in Boston.

Authorities say a Missouri man rented a U-Haul truck Monday evening and crashed it into a security barrier across from the White House just a few hours later. A witness says he was finishing a run near Lafayette Square late Monday when he heard the loud crash of the truck hitting the barrier. The witness says the driver struck the barrier at least twice. A 19-year-old suburban St. Louis resident, Sai Varshith Kandula, identified as the driver has been arrested. Police say they believe the crash was intentional, but nobody was injured. Video posted by WUSA-TV shows a police officer inventorying evidence from the truck, including a Nazi flag.
Authorities say U.S. Border Patrol agents answering reports of gunfire shot and killed a man on a tribal reservation in southern Arizona after he threw something and abruptly raised his arm. The Thursday night death of Raymond Mattia is under investigation by the FBI and Tohono O’odham Nation. A statement Monday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection says tribal police had asked Border Patrol agents for help in responding to a report of shots fired near the home of a man in a tribal community near the U.S.-Mexico border. The statement says three Border Patrol agents opened fire after encountering a man who threw some kind of object and “abruptly extended” his arm.
Authorities say a 2-year-old boy shot in the head by a stray bullet while playing outside at day care in Utah is in stable condition. Spanish Fork police believe the bullet came from a pellet or air gun shot from a field across the street west of the facility. Day care workers don't know what happened, but saw the young boy bleeding from the face and stumbling. At a nearby hospital, scans revealed a small-caliber bullet lodged in the child’s head. The incident occurred Monday in Spanish Fork, Utah, about 52 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Donald Trump has made a video appearance in a New York courtroom, where the judge tentatively scheduled the former president’s criminal trial for March 25. That date that would fall in the heat of the presidential primary season. Trump had pleaded not guilty last month to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records at his family company, the Trump Organization. Trump glowered at the camera Tuesday as New York Judge Juan Manuel Merchan advised him to cancel all other obligations for the duration of the trial, which could last for several weeks. Trump has portrayed the New York case and the other investigations he faces as a coordinated effort to sully his reelection chances.
