WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 A former federal judge appointed to review the Justice Department\u2019s motion to dismiss criminal charges against President Donald Trump\u2019s former national security adviser Michael Flynn said there was evidence of a \u201cgross abuse\u201d of prosecutorial power and that the request should be denied. Former U.S. District Judge John Gleeson said in a filing Wednesday the government \u201chas engaged in highly irregular conduct to benefit a political ally of the President” and argued that Flynn had committed perjury.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Jacksonville, Florida, is the front-runner to host the celebration marking President Donald Trump\u2019s acceptance of his party\u2019s nomination for reelection. That’s according to Ronna McDaniel, who heads the Republican National Committee. She says reports of a final decision are \u201cpremature,\u201d but says in a radio interview that Jacksonville is the favorite now. The Democratic governor of North Carolina balked on promising Trump a full-blown convention in Charlotte without social distancing measures during the coronavirus pandemic. Hotel rooms across Jacksonville have been blocked off for late August, a week after the state\u2019s Aug. 18 primary, and that’s intensifying the speculation.<\/p>\n

LONDON (AP) \u2014 A scientist whose modelling helped set Britain\u2019s coronavirus strategy says the country\u2019s death toll could have been cut in half if lockdown had been introduced a week earlier. Britain has the world\u2019s second-highest number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths at more than 41,000. Including cases where the coronavirus was suspected but not confirmed, the total is over 50,000. Imperial College London epidemiologist Neil Ferguson said Wednesday that when key decisions were being made, scientists underestimated the virus’s spread in the U.K. Meanwhile, starting this weekend in England, adults living alone can form \u201csupport bubbles\u201d with another household, The change will allow grandparents to hug their grandchildren and couples who live apart to be intimate legally.<\/p>\n
