AP reports that the Justice Department has come
to a tentative agreement with families and victims
of the mass shooting that took place at First Baptist
Church of Sutherland Springs, TX, in 2017.

should have prevented him from legally buying a gun, but it was never put into the FBI's database.

Air Force was "60% liable" for the massacre.
The settlement offered by the DOJ
must first obtain court approvals.

Federal prosecutors will pursue the death penalty if Luigi Mangione is convicted of Murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione is accused of killing the executive to send a political message and ignite widespread opposition to the healthcare industry. The DOJ has filed a formal “notice of intent to seek the death penalty,” backed by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Prosecutors say Mangione deliberately targeted a high-profile victim to maximize impact. His defense calls the government’s move “barbaric” and politically motivated. Mangione will plead not guilty to a four-count indictment, including firearm-related Murder.

Trump’s administration has referred New York AG Letitia James for criminal prosecution, alleging she committed mortgage fraud by misrepresenting her primary residence and falsely listing her father as her husband. The explosive claims come as James continues to pursue legal action against Trump. Critics call it poetic justice, pointing out James previously charged Trump for similar offenses. Legal experts say the documents appear “damning,” raising questions about whether James followed the same legal standards she holds others to. The DOJ has not yet responded.
