Police say he's suspected of misconduct in public office, a crime that carries up to life in prison. Lauren Freyer, NPR News, London.
President Trump says his policies are helping ease high prices as he works to persuade voters frustrated by the cost of living. Speaking at a Steele distributor in Georgia tonight, Trump touted a rising stock market, his tariff policy on foreign goods, and increased foreign investment in the U.S. economy.
Thanks to the fact that we got elected on November 5th, and thanks to what I call the Trump tariffs, business at Cusa Steele is booming again. We just spoke, it's booming again. And in October, you received your first large order for Tire Rack since 2014. It was a big, massive order.
The administration is working to counter public frustrations with the economy as Republicans look to strengthen their position heading into November.
Chapter 3: What emergency has been declared in Washington, D.C. regarding sewage?
The mayor of Washington, D.C., has declared an emergency over the Potomac River sewage spill the worst of its kind in the nation's history. Justin O'Neill from member station WAMU reports.
The emergency declaration enables President Trump to direct federal funds to cover repair costs and needed improvements to water treatment infrastructure that serves residents of D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Deputy Mayor Lindsay Appiah says it's uncertain how much the repairs will ultimately cost.
Because the repair is ongoing, and we would all love to believe that in any repair, it only costs the amount we budgeted or say. But I think that we've all been around long enough to know that there are always unanticipated costs.
Today marks one month since the pipe burst, spilling an estimated 243 million gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River. DC Water says the spill has been contained to a nearby canal, but complete repair of the broken sewage pipe is still weeks away. For NPR News, I'm Justin O'Neill.

human feces. The use of especially animal fecal matter was once considered a potent treatment for infections and inflammation. The team also found aromatic compounds, perhaps to mask the odor.
