SUMMARY: CNN is under fire for not fact-checking false statements by former President Trump and President Biden during a presidential debate moderated by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Despite offering follow-up questions, the moderators did not correct misleading claims on crime, immigration, and the economy during the 90-minute event. Critics, including Keith Olbermann and Nicholas Kristof, slammed CNN for neglecting its journalistic duties. CNN defended its approach, prioritizing voters’ ability to hear candidates. The network’s fact checker, Daniel Dale, provided real-time checks online, but not on TV, leaving Biden’s allies dissatisfied with the debate’s handling.

SUMMARY: The Supreme Court is concluding its term unusually late, meeting into early July, with a highly anticipated decision pending. The case concerns whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. This case was argued on April 25, and its delayed resolution impacts the potential for Trump to stand trial before the November election. The timing of the court’s decision is crucial, as the delay means Trump is unlikely to face trial before the election, regardless of the ruling’s outcome. (© 2024 The Associated Press.
