King Charles

King Charles began his address to Congress by quoting President Donald Trump's own words during his visit to Britain last fall. He's the second British monarch to address a joint meeting of Congress. The King also referenced the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday evening.

'In his speech, Charles also praised NATO, the organization whose members President Trump has repeatedly criticized for not joining the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Relations between the U. S. And U.K. have been strained since the start of the war. After Trump criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer's refusal to offer substantial military assistance, the King Charles reaffirmed the relationship between the two nations as the U S. marks its 250th birthday this year.

America's words carry weight and meaning as they have since independence. The actions of this great nation matter even more. Let our two countries rededicate ourselves to each other in the selfless service of our peoples and of all the peoples of the world.

'The King didn't directly reference the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, survivors who had called for an in-person meeting with the monarch. His brother, former Prince Andrew, is being investigated by British authorities over his Epstein links, something the former prince has repeatedly denied. But King Charles made an oblique reference, saying the vibrancy and diversity of the U.S. and Britain provide strength to support victims of tragic ills.

The Justice Department has indicted former FBI Director James Comey for a second time.
Todd Blanche

While this case is unique and this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant, his alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that we will never tolerate and that we always investigate and regularly prosecute.

That's acting attorney general Todd Blanche. Comey was indicted over a photo he posted on social media last May of seashells on a beach forming out the numbers 8647, which critics said referred to killing President Trump. When used in slang, 86 can refer to getting rid of or tossing something out and Trump is currently the 47th president. Comey removed the post the same day and wrote he opposes violence and that he was unaware of the references. According to court documents, Comey faces charges of making a threat against the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. The charges come with a prison sentence of up to 10 years if Comey is convicted. Comey's attorneys declined to comment.

The FCC is ordering ABC to file early license renewals for their TV stations within 30 days. The order affects only the eight stations that Disney owns and not the 200 plus local ABC affiliates. And it's just the start of a protracted legal process. ABC has broad legal protections. The FCC says the license review is related to its ongoing investigation into Disney's diversity initiatives, but it's being widely viewed as a form of government retaliation for airing Jimmy Kimmel's show Monday night and resisting President Trump's pressure to fire him over a joke last week about First Lady Melania Trump. Disney responded to FCC's action by saying, quote, "that the company is confident that its record," quote "demonstrates our continued qualifications as licensees under the Communications Act and the First Amendment. And are prepared to show that through the appropriate legal channels.".

A federal official says 22 search warrants were executed in Minneapolis Tuesday morning. Most of the locations were businesses that received Medicaid funding, according to CNN affiliate CARE. One of the searched businesses was the Quality Learning Center. You may remember that was one of the facilities conservative activist and YouTuber Nick Shirley visited in his viral video that sparked outrage because of his claims of fraud. The facility's misspelled sign went viral. A Quality Learning Center representative said it was not engaged in any fraud after the video came out. The business closed in January, according to state records. So far, there haven't been any arrests announced as a result of those searches. Governor Tim Walz, who faced scrutiny and stopped his reelection campaign after multiple suspects were convicted of fraud in Minnesota, expressed support for the searches.

'Elon Musk has taken the stand to testify in his lawsuit against OpenAI, its executives, and Microsoft. Musk is on record alleging OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman betrayed him and OpenAI's mission to develop safe open source AI for public good by transforming from a nonprofit to a public benefit corporation last year. Musk's attorney told a jury that OpenAI its leaders and Microsoft quote, "stole a charity" when it transitioned away from a non-profit. OpenAI argued Musk was aware of his for-profit plans, and he's bringing the suit years later because his company XAI is a major rival. The judge in a lawsuit threatened a gag order and scolded Musk for his recent social media posts about the trial, such as one from this week referring to the OpenAI CEO as, quote, "Scam Altman."
