| 0:00.0 | An official report was released on Donald Trump's election interference case. |
| 0:07.5 | Strong winds in Los Angeles are making fire conditions worse, and Brazil is taking phones away from its students. |
| 0:15.8 | That's some of what we'll get to on the seven from the Washington Post. |
