What are the latest developments in President Trump's Georgia election interference case?
The 2020 election interference case against President Trump in Georgia has a new prosecutor, Peter Skandalakis, taking over from Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis, who was disqualified because of an appearance of impropriety stemming from an intimate relationship with a lead investigative prosecutor. Skandalakis, executive director of Georgia's Prosecuting Attorneys Council, says he decided to assume responsibility for the case rather than allow it to be dismissed. The new prosecutor says he is going through mounds of evidence related to the investigation into state charges Trump unlawfully led others in a conspiracy to overturn the Georgia results of the 2020 presidential vote. In a statement, Skondelakis says he will then decide how best to proceed.
Trump has consistently rebuked cases against him, including in Georgia and New York, as Democratic and media-fueled witch hunts. His lawyers have fired back with appeals, including to the U.S. Supreme Court. A North Carolina sheriff says Customs and Border Protection agents will soon be deployed in Charlotte. Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary McFadden says agents could arrive by Saturday. At a press conference this morning, Democratic State Representative Ayesha Du questioned the need for the CBP's presence.
We do not want ICE here. We do not need to have Border Patrol. As I've already said, I'm not quite sure what border we're patrolling here.
Member Station WFAE reports in a message to parents of children in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School District, school officials said they had not been told about immigration enforcement on education campuses. CMS cites federal and state laws that protect a student's right to a public education. It says procedures include not asking about a student's immigration status and not giving law enforcement access to students or campuses without a valid search warrant or subpoena. The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved a new policy that could limit curriculum related to race and gender identity. Houston Public Media's Kyle McClanagan has the latest.
The new policy effectively gives campus presidents veto power over race and gender courses. Robert Shibley, special counsel for the Foundation of Individual Rights and Expression, says the policy amounts to academic censorship.
This is really a prescription for a huge amount of interference. It makes one stop shopping for people who would like to put political pressure on these colleges to change what they are willing to teach.
James Hallmark, vice chancellor for academic affairs for the Texas A&M system, said the new policies are not meant to introduce new limitations on scholarly inquiry. He argued the policy reinforces the balance between academic freedom and academic responsibility. I'm Kyle McClinigan in Houston.
At last check on Wall Street, the Dow is down 150 points. This is NPR News. The United States and South Korea have finalized the terms of an economic and military agreement that was recently announced during President Trump's trip to Asia. NPR's Anthony Cunha has more from Seoul.
President Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung agreed on the outlines of the deal at a summit in South Korea last month. The U.S. gets $350 billion in South Korean investment, big purchases of U.S. weapons, and more money to host the U.S. military presence in the South. Seoul gets lower tariffs, plus the right to enrich uranium, reprocess nuclear fuel, and build nuclear submarines in South Korean shipyards.
NPR's Anthony Kuhn reporting. Music superstar Bad Bunny took home the biggest award at the Latin Grammys album of the year. It was a Puerto Rican artist's first win in one of the main categories.
NPR's Isabella Gomez-Admiento reports. Bad Bunny won five awards during the 26th annual Latin Grammys in Las Vegas. But he seemed most moved by Album of the Year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, an homage to his home island. He dedicated the award to all the young people of Latin America, and Puerto Rico in particular.
