NICE, France (AP) — France's prime minister says the man who drove a truck through crowds of revelers in Nice, killing at least 84 peple, is a "terrorist linked to radical Islam." But prosecutors say Mohamed Bouhlel (boo-LEL'), a Tunisian living in France, wasn't known to intelligence services. They say he was known to police for thefts and other crimes.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is denouncing calls to expel Muslims who believe in Sharia (shah-REE'-yuh) law from the United States. He calls it an "affront to everything we stand for as Americans." In the aftermath of yesterday's deadly attack in France, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said the U.S. should deport Muslims who believe in Sharia. He said it is "incompatible with Western civilization." Gingrich had been under consideration to be Donald Trump's running mate before Trump instead chose Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
WASHINGTON (AP) — As Donald Trump prepares to publicly introduce his new running mate tomorrow, Hillary Clinton has been holding meetings at her Washington home about her own running mate selection. That's according to a person familiar with today's meetings. Among the people Clinton is considering as her running mate are Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. And Warren was seen in a car that left Clinton's home this afternoon. It's at least the second private meeting she and Clinton have had since Clinton wrapped up the nomination last month.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that Bernie Sanders has offered his support to Hillary Clinton, the two campaigns are negotiating over the convention nominating process. Sanders is leaving open the possibility that Clinton could receive the nomination by acclamation — or unanimous nomination — at the end of a full roll call of the states. Sanders says he'll still press at the convention for changes in the Democratic Party's nominating system. He says there are too many super-delegates.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government has released a once-classified chapter of a congressional report about the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It questions whether Saudi nationals who were in contact with the hijackers after they arrived in the U.S. knew what they were planning. Later investigations found no evidence that the Saudi government or senior Saudi officials knowingly supported those who orchestrated the attacks. But lawmakers and relatives of victims, who don't believe all Saudi links to the attackers were thoroughly investigated, pushed for more than 13 years to get the pages released.
