Summary

Officer who shot Black man outside of Wendy's charged with felony murder and could face the death penalty if convicted. The attorney for the second officer says officer has not agreed to testify as a state witness. This contradicts the district attorney who said he would be a state witness. Meanwhile, protests grow as officers are charged in the death of Rayshard Brooks. Prosecutors say that officers did not render aid after Rayshard Brooks was shot and one can be seen in a video kicking the Black man, after he had been shot. District attorney says that the officer charged in the killing of Rayshard Brooks declared "I got him" after firing shots. Trump administration is ignoring reality of the coronavirus pandemic. 21 states are seeing an increase in coronavirus cases amid more reopenings and 10 states are seeing their highest average of daily new coronavirus cases. The Tulsa Health Department director is recommending that Trump's rally be "postponed until it's safer" as coronavirus cases rise. No social distancing is required and wearing masks are optional at Trump's Tulsa rally, even as Tulsa sets daily record for coronavirus cases. Fauci speaks on whether he would attend Trump's Tulsa rally, "of course not." To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
