Why an attorney tasked with prosecuting Trump’s critics resigned

from Apple News Today

Over the weekend Trump urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute some of his political enemies, in a social-media post. The order came days after the U.S. attorney tasked with doing the same thing resigned under pressure. NBC News reports. The CDC’s advisory panel on vaccines gathered last week for a chaotic two-day meeting. Stat reporter Elaine Chen joins to discuss the changes that were made and how the board is moving away from its traditional science-backed approach. The Washington Post’s Maria Sacchetti breaks down what family separations look like in Trump’s second term, as enforcement ramps up. Plus, tens of thousands of people attended a memorial for Charlie Kirk; the U.K., Canada, and Australia formally recognized Palestine as a state, and and swimmers took part in the Chicago River’s first organized open-water swim in nearly 100 years.
