Today’s Headlines: Luigi Mangione, charged with second-degree murder for killing United CEO Brian Thompson, was denied bail in Pennsylvania and is contesting extradition to New York. He has also been charged with forgery and gun-related crimes and plans to plead not guilty. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had another health scare, falling on Capitol Hill but reportedly being cleared to continue his schedule. Donald Trump’s Defense Secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, met with senators to push his nomination forward, earning a chance at a confirmation hearing. Across the media world, Rupert Murdoch faced a setback in his bid to alter his family trust to secure control for his son Lachlan, inspired, ironically, by an episode of Succession. A DOJ report revealed Trump’s administration secretly obtained phone records of congressmen and reporters, a concerning echo of surveillance overreach. Finally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu testified in his corruption trial, dismissing charges as trivial while decrying a media-led witch hunt. His testimony continues in a grueling multi-week schedule.
