MILITARY PLANE CRASHES IN MISSISSIPPI; 5 DEAD
A C-130 crashed Monday afternoon in LeFlore County, claiming at least five lives, officials said.
Sheriff Ricky Banks said there were five confirmed dead as of 6:15 p.m. CT and that there were supposed to be nine people aboard the aircraft.
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency Director Lee Smithson said the plane crashed on the Sunflower-Leflore county line in central Mississippi.
Smithson said it also was unclear if the plane belonged to the Tennessee National Guard or if it was active duty Air Force. The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop aircraft used primarily for military transportation. TRUMP ACCUSES COMEY OF LEAKING CLASSIFIED INFO
Two days after returning from an international summit, President Trump kicked off his week back in Washington by renewing his attack on the FBI director he fired in the midst of the Russia investigation — this time, accusing him of leaking classified information to the press.
“James Comey leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media. That is so illegal!” Trump tweeted early Monday.
Comey has discussed the content of his memos publicly during congressional testimony and addressed the general sensitivity with which he treated their contents.
In an earlier post, Trump tweeted a Fox News report that appears to be based on a story in
The Hill newspaper. Citing anonymous sources, The Hill reported that “more than half of the memos former FBI chief James Comey wrote as personal recollections of his conversations with President Trump about the Russia investigation have been determined to contain classified information.” BRITISH PARENTS TO PRESENT NEW EVIDENCE ON ILL BABY
A British court decided Monday to allow the parents of 11month-old Charlie Gard to present new evidence that their terminally ill baby should receive experimental treatment.
Judge Nicholas Francis gave the couple until Wednesday afternoon to present the evidence and set a new hearing for Thursday.
Great Ormond Street Hospital, which had intended to turn off the baby’s life support systems, applied for the court hearing because of “new evidence relating to potential treatment for his condition.”
