Summary

President Biden visits Michigan, one of the biggest battleground states on the path to reelection. New reporting shows Trump’s legal bills are skyrocketing, and he is using political fundraising and PACs to pay them. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said there will be consequences for the deaths of three U-S soldiers in Jordan, involving military strikes and cyber operations that could last weeks. Then, Michigan prosecutors are trying Jennifer Crumbley for involuntary manslaughter after her son’s deadly school shooting rampage. Peter Baker, Symone Sanders-Townsend, Amanda Carpenter, Ben Rhodes, Danny Cevallos, Geoffrey Canada, and Alec Macgillis join.
