Good morning. Itās Monday, August 11.
President Trump on Monday announced plans to place the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and to deploy several hundred National Guard troops and more than 100 FBI agents to the streets of Washington, D.C., to assist local law enforcement in fighting crime.
āIām announcing a historic action to rescue our nationās capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, squalor and worse,ā Trump said during a press conference on Monday. āThis is liberation day in D.C., and weāre going to take our capital back.ā
āOur capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged out maniacs and homeless people,ā he said.
A federal judge on Monday denied the Department of Justiceās request to unseal grand jury materials in Ghislaine Maxwellās criminal case.
In his 31-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, a Barack Obama appointee, says that the grand jury materials do not identify anyone other than Epstein or Maxwell as having had sexual contact with a minor.
The DOJ request came as supporters of President Donald Trump have pushed for more disclosures related to Maxwell and her co-conspirator Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased financier and accused sex trafficker.
The government of Haiti announced Saturday that it will implement a three-month state of emergency in the countryās central region due to gang violence.
The measure will cover Haitiās West, Artibonite, and Center departments āto continue the fight against insecurity and respond to the agricultural and food crisis,ā the government said in a statement.
Weāre sure the Clintons and pal Laura Silsby could help by ārescuingā 33 more Hatian children (children only) from said state of emergency.
Antisemitic graffiti has been found in multiple locations across Jerusalem, including at the Western Wall complex and the Great Synagogue, on Monday.

Miguel Uribe Turbay, a Colombian senator and presidential hopeful who was hospitalized after being shot at a campaign event more than two months ago, has died, his wife announced on Monday.
Uribe, 39, a potential presidential candidate from the right-wing opposition, was shot in the head during a rally in Bogota, Colombiaās capital, on June 7.
The hospital where Uribe was being treated, the Santa Fe de Bogota Foundation, said the senator died in the early hours of Monday morning. On Saturday, it had warned that he was in ācritical conditionā due to a āhemorrhagic episode in the central nervous system.ā
Paramount has agreed a $7.7bn deal to become the exclusive US broadcaster of Ultimate Fighting Championship, the largest agreement since David Ellison took the helm of the group.
Under the seven-year contract, which has an average annual value of $1.1bn and is weighted towards higher payments in later years, Paramount will stream all 13 of UFCās marquee numbered events and 30 Fight Nights annually on its streaming platform from 2026, with selected bouts also cast on CBS.
The UFC deal by Ellison, who took over as chair and chief executive last week following Skydanceās takeover of the Hollywood studio, highlights the 42-year-oldās willingness to invest heavily in reviving Paramount after years of struggle under its previous ownership.
