Description
Today’s Headlines: The recent Republican primary debate aired on Fox News, featuring 8 candidates. Trump, however, didn't attend and instead had a pre-taped interview with Tucker Carlson on Twitter. In Georgia, more figures related to the 2020 election overthrow attempt, including Giuliani and Powell, turned themselves in to the Fulton County jail. They were booked, photographed, and released on bail. Giuliani's bail was set at $150,000. Meanwhile, the South Carolina Supreme Court upheld a 6-week abortion ban, citing the interest of the unborn child over women's privacy rights. This contradicted a previous ruling and raised debates about women's autonomy. In a tragic turn, Yevgeny Prigozhin, associated with Russia's Wagner Group, died along with 9 others in a private jet crash near Moscow. The Wagner Group confirmed no survivors.
