Fauci To Testify Before Senate Committee

A U.S. Secret Service agent and two other men are facing felony charges in connection with an alleged fraternity hazing incident in Florida that left two pledges with life-threatening injuries. Prosecutors say the victims were repeatedly beaten with canes and paddles during pledging activities, suffering severe injuries that required emergency medical treatment. Authorities allege the hazing was part of an organized initiation ritual. The Secret Service says the agent has been placed on administrative leave while the criminal case proceeds. If convicted, the defendants could face significant prison time under Florida's anti-hazing laws.

NBC's Savannah Guthrie is making an emotional public appeal for the safe return of her mother, who has been missing for nearly six months. Authorities believe 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her Arizona home in February. Investigators say the FBI is analyzing multiple ransom notes as the search for her continues. Guthrie has announced a $1 million reward for information leading to her mother's safe recovery, urging anyone with knowledge of the case to come forward. Law enforcement says the investigation remains active and continues to follow every available lead.

The Trump administration is proposing a major investment aimed at countering China's growing influence in the Western Hemisphere. A new plan submitted to Congress includes nearly $176 million to replace undersea communications cables in the Caribbean and Central America. Officials say the project is designed to strengthen secure communications infrastructure while reducing China's expanding technological and strategic presence in the region. The proposal is part of a broader effort by the administration to compete with Beijing through infrastructure, technology and regional partnerships.

Authorities say a deadly shooting at Seattle's Bite of Seattle festival may have been gang-related, as investigators continue searching for additional suspects. Police believe at least three people exchanged gunfire during the shooting, leaving three people dead and four others injured. A 15-year-old suspect is in custody, but investigators say at least one other gunman remains at large. Detectives are reviewing surveillance video, interviewing witnesses and working to determine what led to the gunfire at the popular festival. Officials are asking anyone with information or cellphone video from the scene to contact Seattle police as the investigation continues.

President Donald Trump is meeting Tuesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, just hours before both leaders attend the funeral for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham in Washington. The meeting is expected to focus on the war in Ukraine, additional sanctions on Russia, and growing concerns over Russia's support for Iran as the conflict in the Middle East continues. It marks the second meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy this month. Following the talks, Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are both expected to attend Graham's funeral at Washington National Cathedral, where President Trump is also scheduled to deliver remarks honoring the longtime South Carolina senator.

Washington is paying tribute to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham as two days of memorial services begin in the nation's capital. Graham's remains will lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol before a funeral service Tuesday afternoon at Washington National Cathedral. President Donald Trump is expected to deliver remarks honoring the longtime South Carolina senator, who died earlier this month. Among those expected to attend are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reflecting Graham's long-standing role in U.S. foreign policy and national security. Salem News Channel will provide live coverage of the funeral beginning at 2 p.m. Eastern on SNC.TV.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Tuesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their first face-to-face talks since the war with Iran began. The meeting is expected to focus on the ongoing conflict, regional security concerns, and diplomatic efforts across the Middle East. The two leaders are also expected to discuss a proposed framework agreement with Lebanon aimed at easing tensions along Israel's northern border. The high-level talks come as both Trump and Netanyahu face increasing political pressure at home while navigating the expanding regional conflict and ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.

Florida is scheduled to carry out two executions Tuesday, marking the first time in nearly a decade that a state has planned two executions on the same day. James Aren Duckett and 80-year-old Dominick Occhicone are both set to receive lethal injections just hours apart. If carried out, the executions would be among the oldest and closest-timed executions in recent Florida history. Both inmates have appeals pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, and any last-minute rulings could affect the execution schedule. If no stays are granted, Florida will become the first state since 2017 to complete two executions in a single day.
