News Wrap: Former Trump adviser John Bolton to plead guilty over classified information

Amna Nawaz:

President Trump's former National Security Adviser turned critic John Bolton has reportedly agreed to plead guilty to one felony count of illegally retaining classified information.

The deal would settle a criminal case that burst into public view when FBI agents raided his Maryland home and Washington, D.C., office. Officials say he held onto sensitive diary-like notes that he planned to use for a memoir. If the deal is approved by a judge, Bolton could either face no prison time or up to five years in custody, plus more than $2 million in fines.

U.S. officials said today there is no threat of mass infestation from a flesh-eating insect that's been detected in livestock in Texas. Authorities say the New World screwworm was found in a 3-week-old calf in South Texas, but that no other cases have been confirmed so far. It's the first time in decades it's been detected in the U.S.

At a hearing on Capitol Hill, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins stressed the threat to livestock production did not mean a threat to the food supply.

Brooke Rollins:

We are using every tool at our disposal to eliminate this threat to our livestock producers and to our national security, and we will actively keep you updated. Thankfully, this pest does not represent any sort of challenge to our food safety, and that's a really important message.

Amna Nawaz:

The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly that affects livestock, pets, and wildlife, and, in rare cases, people, though officials say there's no current threat to humans.

Hezbollah rejected the latest cease-fire agreement between Israel and Lebanon today, and instead called for a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. Smoke billowed from Israeli strikes in Southern Lebanon today that killed at least four people. A U.N. peacekeeper was also killed in the crossfire.

The attacks came just hours after Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their truce during talks in Washington that did not include Hezbollah. But, speaking to reporters today, President Trump said he believed Hezbollah wanted to find an end to the fighting.

President Donald Trumps:

I think Hezbollah, I will tell you, they called us and they said, how about stopping? And I think you're going to see things happen over there. That's been like a little bit of a different world, but it's interconnected with Iran. And it would be really nice if Lebanon could have some peace.

Amna Nawaz:

Meantime, in Gaza, health officials say a series of Israeli airstrikes killed at least 10 people over the last day. One strike hollowed out entire floors of an apartment building in Gaza City. Families began burial preparations today. The victims included two women and two children.

A court in Colorado reversed the homicide convictions today for two paramedics who'd been sentenced in the overdose death of Elijah McClain. The 23-year-old Black man had been forcibly restrained by police as he walked home from a convenience store in 2019. The paramedics injected him with ketamine and were found guilty of criminally negligent homicide after a trial in 2023.

Today's ruling sends their cases back to a lower court. McClain's final words, "I can't breathe," foreshadowed those of George Floyd a year later and helped fuel public anger over police tactics across the nation.

Tens of thousands of people have been getting a sneak peek at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. The facility officially opens on Juneteenth, but friends, students and journalists have been strolling the nearly 20-acre campus this week. The $850 million project reflects the life and legacy of the nation's 44th commander in chief and first Black president.

It includes a replica of the Oval Office from his time in office, a collection of former first lady Michelle Obama's gowns, and a full-size basketball court, reflecting one of Mr. Obama's favorite pastimes.

Stocks on Wall Street ended mixed today amid a fall in oil prices. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped nearly 900 points, but the Nasdaq posted a modest loss of about 20 points. In the meantime, the S&P 500 rose for a 10th time in 11 sessions.

And the French-Iranian author and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi has died. She was best known for her graphic novel series "Persepolis" based on her own coming of age in Tehran after the Islamic Revolution. It was later adapted into an Oscar-nominated film directed by Satrapi.

She spoke with the "News Hour"'s Jeffrey Brown in 2012 on telling complex stories about Iranian people.

Marjane Satrapi:

Unfortunately, Iran is reduced to veil and beard and nuclear weapons. The problem when we reduce people to -- or a country to a notion, then they become abstract, and from the second they stop being human beings, then we can go and bomb them and kill them.

Amna Nawaz:

She also wrote the graphic novel "Chicken With Plums" directed the Marie Curie biopic "Radioactive" starring Rosamund Pike.

French President Emmanuel Macron called Satrapi an artist devoted to freedom whose work carried a universal message. Her family said she died of sadness after the death of her husband last year. Marjane Satrapi was 56 years old.
