What is the Trump administration’s claim linking acetaminophen to autism?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Shay Stevens. The Trump administration is linking autism to acetaminophen, a key ingredient in Tylenol. As NPR's Yuki Nagucchi reports, the administration is also suggesting pregnant women should not use the painkiller.
President Trump cautioned pregnant women against the common painkiller.
So take in Tylenol. Is uh Not good. All right, I'll say it. It's not good.
Many physicians' groups and autism advocates call the administration's claims potentially dangerous, saying research is far from conclusive and that fever during pregnancy can also be dangerous.
How does the administration plan to change FDA labeling for acetaminophen use in pregnancy?
But the administration is forging ahead, saying it will direct the Food and Drug Administration to change labeling to discourage the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy. It will also change labeling to use filinic acid to treat autism, despite scant scientific support for that claim too. Yukina Gucci and PR News.

The defense has rested its case in the trial of Ryan Ruth. He's the man charged with the attempted assassination of then candidate Donald Trump last year. Ruth, who's representing himself, called just three witnesses to testify that And PR's Greg Allen has more.
Prosecutors presented 38 witnesses who detailed what they say was Ruth's assassination attempt against the then presidential candidate while he was golfing at his West Palm Beach Club. Ruth's main defense witness, a former Marine sniper, testified that when he test fired the SKS style rifle left at the scene several months later, it malfunctioned. Prosecutors attributed that to the effects of acid used by investigators to recover the gun's obliterated serial numbers. When Ruth asked his witness whether the rifle would be able to hit a target three hundred and seventy five yards away, the former Marine sniper said, depending on the skill of the shooter, yes.
