Combs' ex-girlfriend 'Jane' returns to witness stand
SUMMARY: Jane, the third alleged victim in Shaun Diddy Combmes’ federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, returned to the stand for her second day of testimony. She described a three-year relationship starting in 2021, marked by drugs, unwanted sex, and exploitation. Jane testified that Combmes coerced her into sex with male prostitutes, often under the influence and against her will, controlled by threats to withhold $10,000 monthly rent he paid. Emotional during questioning, she revealed feeling trapped and unable to refuse. Prosecutors emphasized details of the encounters, while the defense claims all were consensual. Combmes pleaded not guilty. The judge warned Combmes against courtroom behavior.
The hip-hop mogul is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice has asked federal courts to release more grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein, prompting bipartisan calls for greater transparency. Lawmakers remain skeptical about fully uncovering the truth, with some accusing the Trump administration of hiding information. President Trump urged supporters to move past the Epstein case despite ongoing public interest. Epstein’s former lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, said the grand jury files represent only a fraction of the evidence and called for Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s co-conspirator, to testify before Congress, calling her key to understanding the case. Congress may hold a symbolic vote urging DOJ to release the files.
Tennessee Republican Rep. Tim Burchett on Sunday again called for the release of the Department of Justice’s evidence against the late accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, part of a growing cadre of Republicans calling for transparency in the case.

Mobile treatment clinic providing easier access to opioid treatment
SUMMARY: North Carolina’s First Lady launched the Unashamed NC campaign to raise awareness and reduce stigma around substance use disorder while promoting medication treatments. Mobile clinics, like Dr. Eric Morse’s new service in Wake County, provide easier access to opioid treatment medications such as methadone, free of charge and without transportation barriers. Former addict Megan Peavy shares her journey from addiction and incarceration to recovery, now advocating for awareness. Morse’s mobile clinic launched recently in Raleigh, serving 49 patients so far, with plans to expand to Granville and Franklin counties and add more city stops, improving access and support for those battling opioid addiction.
There’s a new effort — on wheels — to get potentially life-saving care to people battling addiction.

Ask the Meteorologist: How does this summer's humidity rank with the past?
SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chris Michaels explains this summer’s humidity levels, highlighting Raleigh and Fayetteville as having the most humid summers on record, with Rocky Mount, Wilson, and Goldsboro experiencing their second most humid. This is based on dew point data from locations with over 50 years of records. The persistent high pressure near Bermuda has drawn tropical moisture into the southern and eastern U.S., combined with warm Gulf and Atlantic waters, increasing humidity. This moisture has caused nearly 3,200 flash flood warnings nationwide, including Orange County’s second wettest month on record. A humidity break is expected soon.
It’s been the most humid summer on record (so far) in the Triangle and Sandhills. But how does that humidity rank?
