Trump Calls Omarosa a ‘Crazed’ ‘Lowlife’ ‘Dog’

Once again, President Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to continue his ongoing tirade against former adviser and reality-TV star Omarosa Manigault-Newman. “When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out,” he wrote. “Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!” Manigault-Newman was paid the maximum salary of $179,700 during her time in the White House as an assistant to the president. She released an audio tape on Monday that appeared to show Trump surprised about her firing last year. Her book, Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House, was released today.

2. ‘IMMENSE TRAGEDY’
Dozens Feared Dead as Highway Bridge Collapses in Italy

Dozens are feared dead after a huge section of a highway bridge in Genoa, in northern Italy, collapsed onto buildings and streets below during a violent storm. Italian police posted images showing that the bridge collapsed over houses and a railway, and the Associated Press cited a firefighter saying 20 vehicles were on the collapsed section of the bridge. An image tweeted by Italian firefighters showed a truck teetering on the edge of the collapsed area—the bridge is believed to be some 300 feet high. Italian Transport Minister Danilo Toninelli said: “I’m following with great apprehension what has happened in Genoa, which appears to be an immense tragedy.” Italy’s Adnkronos news agency cited an emergency ambulance service spokesman estimating dozens had died in the disaster.

3. ‘APPEARED DELIBERATE’
Car Smashes Into U.K. Parliament Barrier, Pedestrians Hurt

A number of pedestrians have been injured after a car crashed into a security barrier at the U.K. Parliament building in London. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening. Armed police, ambulances, and firefighters responded to the incident at the Palace of Westminster that happened at around 7:30 a.m. local time (2:30 ET). Police said a man in his late 20s has been arrested on terrorism offenses. An eyewitness told the BBC that it appeared the driver crashed deliberately. A BBC reporter described the scene: “They are wrapped in silver blankets. One eyewitness, who declined to give his name, said he saw a small hatchback drive into a group of cyclists and then into the barrier outside the Palace of Westminster. The man said that the driver’s action appeared deliberate.” Hours after the incident, President Trump tweeted: “Another terrorist attack in London...These animals are crazy and must be dealt with through toughness and strength!”

4. FIND HIM
U.S. Reporter Austin Tice Missing in Syria for 6 Years

It’s been six years to the day since American journalist Austin Tice was kidnapped in Syria. Tice went missing on Aug. 14, 2012, while he was traveling by taxi from the Damascus suburb of Daraya to the Lebanese border after wrapping up his reporting in Syria. His parents and U.S. officials still believe he’s alive—but appeals for information have repeatedly turned up no results. Tice’s parents say, six years into their son’s disappearance, they’re struggling to get media coverage. “Many journalists stay in touch with us, but without a new development, their organizations seem more and more reluctant to devote space to the fact that one of their own continues to be held against his will,” Austin’s father, Marc, told the Columbia Journalism Review. In April, the FBI offered a $1 million award for information leading to Austin’s safe recovery and return.

6. EXTRAORDINARY
West Virginia Pols Impeach All State Supreme Court Justices

West Virginia lawmakers have impeached all four justices on the state’s Supreme Court of Appeals. They’re accused of lavish spending—including more than $1 million in renovations to their individual offices—and failing to develop rules for working lunches and the personal use of state vehicles and office computers. Justices Allen Loughry, Elizabeth Walker, Robin Davis, and Margaret Workman were all deemed to have abused their authority. Loughry also faces 23 federal counts of fraud, witness tampering, lying to a federal agent, and obstruction of justice. If convicted, he could be sentenced to more than 400 years in prison and fined as much as $5.75 million—he pleaded not guilty and was suspended without pay in June. The charges for the four justices now go to trial in the state senate, where a two-thirds vote is required for conviction. Republicans control 22 of 34 seats in the chamber.

7. BANNED
Turkish President Starts Boycott of U.S. Electronic Goods

The president of Turkey urged his countrymen to swap their iPhones for Samsung devices as he announced a boycott of America electronic goods. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is locked in a dispute with Donald Trump over U.S. sanctions imposed as a punishment for the detention of an American evangelical pastor. Last week, Trump announced he was doubling tariffs on Turkey’s steel and aluminum. Responding angrily Tuesday, Erdoğan said: “We will boycott U.S. electronic products. If they have iPhone, the other side has Samsung. In our country there is Venus, Vestel [the Turkish smartphone brands].” He went on to say: “They do not refrain from using the economy as a weapon against us, as they tried in the areas of diplomacy, military, or efforts for social and political instability.” U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson, whose jailing over spying allegations sparked the latest crisis, said through his lawyer Tuesday that he was appealing his house arrest and travel ban.

LAPD Investigates Video of Man Spanking a Hippo at L.A. Zoo

It might sound like it, but this isn’t a euphemism. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating a video of a man who appeared to spank a hippo at the Los Angeles Zoo. The footage shows the man cautiously approaching the hippopotamus—a 4-year-old named Rosie—before reaching out and slapping her on the buttocks, then running away to dance in jubilation at the feat. The hippo wasn’t injured, so it isn’t being investigated as animal cruelty, but the man may have broken trespassing laws. Zoo officials said in a statement: “The Zoo would like to remind everyone that it is never acceptable for a guest to enter the habitat of any animal at the Zoo, excluding our staff-supervised animal encounters. It is a privilege to observe these rare and endangered species, but they are still wild animals and their space must be respected at all times.” Bear that in mind next time you’re thinking of spanking a hippo.

9. ‘TROUBLING’
Adults Arrested at NM Kids Compound to Be Released on Bail

The adults accused of keeping 11 children in squalid conditions at a New Mexico compound are set to be released pending trial. The court has heard accusations that the five defendants trained children in firearms use, that one child died at his father’s hand during a religious ritual, and 11 others were found malnourished on the property. But the judge was unconvinced of allegations that the children were being trained for an anti-government mission. Judge Sarah Backus set a $20,000 bond for each defendant and ordered that the two men and three women wear ankle monitors and have weekly contact with their lawyers. “The state alleges there was a big plan afoot but the state has not shown to my satisfaction by clear and convincing evidence what in fact that plan was,” Backus said. The judge added, however, that the allegations she’d heard were “troubling.”

10. ‘REMOVAL BUSINESS’
Report: Federal Agencies Set ‘Traps’ to Arrest Immigrants

Two federal agencies lured unauthorized immigrants into traps by setting up interviews regarding their legal residency at government offices only to arrest them, The Boston Globe reports. Emails between Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services staffers reportedly show the agencies coordinating to mitigate negative publicity over the arrests by spacing out interviews. In one, an ICE official reportedly wrote that agents were “en route” for an arrest as USCIS was finishing an interview. “At the end of the day we are in the removal business,” the official allegedly wrote. The emails were filed in court Monday as part of an ACLU lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security. Thomas Brophy, the former head of Boston’s ICE field office, told a judge in May that agents would stop arresting immigrants at immigration offices, but he was succeeded by a new director, who reinstated the policy.
