WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats will hear from former CIA director John Brennan about the situation in Iran amid concerns over the Trump administration's actions in the region.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joe Biden says Democrats won't beat Donald Trump if they pick a nominee who channels the party's anger toward the president but does try to unify a deeply divided country.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Female lawmakers have been speaking out about being raped as Republican-dominated state legislatures seek strict abortion bans. Some of the lawmakers' recounts mark the first time they've spoken publicly about the assault. Many of those states' abortion restrictions provide no exception for women or girls who are victims of rape or incest. The #MeToo movement and a record number of elected women last year have empowered more women to detail their experiences to legislatures.
CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago-area hospital didn't alert authorities for weeks after determining that a bloodied woman who arrived with a gravely ill newborn had not just given birth to the baby boy, as she claimed.

Chicago police say she cut Ochoa-Lopez's baby out of her womb on April 23.
