SUMMARY: A grand jury investigation is underway into the origins of the Russia collusion probe, with predictions of indictments against former Obama officials. Trump officials accuse past intelligence members of legal violations and bias favoring Hillary Clinton, while documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard name figures like Susan Rice and James Comey as part of a conspiracy against Trump. Former officials deny politicizing intelligence or assessing collusion. Experts highlight potential legal risks if officials lied to Congress and note the five-year statute of limitations as a key factor in the Justice Department’s case.

On links between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia, current Trump officials are once again accusing former members of the intelligence community of “aggressive violations of the law.”

In an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Vice President JD Vance said, “They would take something that supported a Hillary Clinton campaign talking point, and they would overemphasize it and exaggerate it. They took anything that actually contradicted that narrative, and they buried it deep,” he said. He added, “and through that they actually laundered Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign talking points through the American intelligence services. That’s a violation of the people’s trust. That’s a violation of what our intelligence services should be doing, and I absolutely think they broke the law. You’re going to see a lot of People get indicted for that.”

SUMMARY: Severe weather is impacting the U.S. from the East Coast to Alaska. A state of emergency was declared in southeastern Tennessee due to flash flooding that stranded drivers and trapped residents in waist-high water. In Chicago, storms caused flooding and downed trees. Alaska faces a potential glacial outburst flood in Juneau as warming temperatures threaten to release billions of gallons of water from the Mendenhall Glacier basin. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Erin threatens the East Coast, potentially becoming the season’s first major hurricane, causing dangerous rip currents and high surf. Authorities urge caution and preparedness amid these escalating weather threats.

This fueled optimism for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September to support economic growth, despite inflation risks from tariffs. The Fed remains cautious, balancing inflation control with job market health. Internationally, Australia cut rates again, and Asian markets reacted to tariff delays with mixed moves. Key stocks showed volatility amid mixed earnings and economic forecasts.
