1 DOJ Tells Judge Trump Team Likely Concealed Classified Documents At Mar-a-Lago

The Department of Justice says prosecutors got a search warrant for former President Donald Trump's Florida home after receiving evidence of a "likely" effort to hide classified documents in defiance of a grand jury subpoena. The DOJ made that argument in a late night 36-page filing last night, one that serves as the government's most detailed account yet of its evidence of obstruction of justice. It’s the DOJ's response to Trump's request for a so-called special master, to review documents and papers FBI agents seized. It’s also their argument against the necessity for it. Trump has until tonight to respond to the government's filing – and what that response will be remains to be seen…as he hasn’t spoked about it on Truth Social

2 Jackson Water Supply Unsafe After Crisis Caused by Flooding

The water supply in Jackson, Mississippi, remained unsafe for its 150,000 residents to drink or brush their teeth Tuesday after water-treatment pumps failed a day earlier, exacerbating a persistent water crisis in the city. Excessive rainfall and flooding of the Pearl River caused pumps to fail at a Jackson plant, officials said. "Do not drink the water," said Gov. Tate Reeves, who issued a state of emergency. "The city cannot produce enough water to fight fires, to reliably flush toilets and to meet other critical needs." Officials planned to distribute water to residents in the city and surrounding areas. The city had been under a boil-water notice since late July.

3 NASA Will Try Again To Launch Artemis One Moon Mission Saturday

NASA will make a second attempt to launch its Artemis One mission on Saturday. As you might recall, technical problems with one of the four main engines forced NASA to scrub Monday morning's attempt. The good news? It was a faulty sensor – not an issue with the engine. Mission managers say they will change their schedule and procedures to chill the engines before ignition, making them ready for liftoff. Artemis One will test NASA's new SLS rocket and the uncrewed Orion capsule by sending it on a six-week mission around the moon and back. Still, it’s all about weather – and Mark Berger, a launch weather officer with the U.S. Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron, says the latest forecasts (which show potential showers or even thunderstorms in the area on Saturday) give the mission a 60% chance “ weather violation” during the launch window. Still, hopes are high for everything to come together – and for Artemis One to get liftoff.
