1A - A podcast by NPR
The fallout from the FBI investigation into what classified documents former President Donald Trump kept at Mar-a-Lago continues to unfold. A Department of Justice court filing says classified documents were likely "moved and hidden." That filing also noted that FBI agents found twice as many documents as had been initially turned over by Trump. The FDA authorized additional Pfizer and Moderna booster shots. The approvals have many Americans wondering how many booster shots citizens will need to be safe, and what the next wave of COVID vaccines will look like. Meanwhile, Asian countries are feeling the effects of climate change. Flooding in south Pakistan has claimed the lives of at least 1,191 people. China is trying to stay cool amid its longest heat wave on record. In Russia-related news, the European Union suspended a visa program with Russia, but hasn't banned Russian visas altogether. Former USSR politician Mikhail Gorbachev died at the age of 91. We cover all this and more during this week's News Roundup. Want to support 1A?
