| 0:00.0 | Live from NPR News in Washington, on Corva Coleman, a federal grand jury in Virginia has indicted former FBI director James Comey on two criminal counts. |
| 0:10.1 | NPR's Kerry Johnson reports, Comey faces obstruction of justice and false statement counts. |
| 0:15.8 | The charges against Jim Comey come after days of pressure from President Trump, who urged the Justice Department |
| 0:22.2 | to hurry up and build a criminal case against him. The statute of limitations had been set to expire |
| 0:27.9 | next week. The charges stem from Senate testimony Comey gave in September 2020 about the FBI investigation |

| 1:29.5 | where Israel has just started a new ground offensive. On his flight to New York, Netanyahu took a |
| 1:34.6 | slight detour to avoid much of European airspace because he also faces an arrest warrant |
| 1:39.1 | from the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes. Now Netanyahu is set to walk into the UN headquarters |
| 1:45.5 | and deliver a speech that Israeli media says will lambast Western countries which have recognized |
| 1:51.0 | Palestinian statehood in recent days. Emily Fang and Pierre News, Tel Aviv. President Trump says |
| 1:56.1 | he will not allow Israel to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Trump would not say whether he had discussed |
