Summary

Former President Donald Trump was indicted again this week. He's been charged alongside 18 other co-defendants by a grand jury in Georgia for conspiring to unlawfully keep himself in office in the wake of the 2020 election under the state's racketeering law.

Wildfires continue to ravage Maui. The death toll in the wildfires has reached 110, but is sure to climb in the coming days.

Meanwhile, the United Nations issued a warning over the situation in Sudan this week. More than 1 million people have fled the country since fighting broke out in April.

North Korea has officially confirmed U.S. soldier Travis King is in the country. North Korean officials are claiming King came to their country to escape unequal and inhumane treatment in the U.S. military.

We cover all this and more during this edition of the News Roundup.
