AP News, I'm Ed Donohue, 80 years after the D-Day invasion, President Biden is in Normandy. He likened what Allied forces had to deal with then to Ukraine's fight with Russia.

Federal prosecutors have argued that Hunter Biden was in the throes of heavy addiction when he bought the gun at the center of the case. They have accused him of lying on a government form. He's been charged with three felonies and pleaded not guilty. Hunter Biden has said the Justice Department is bending to political pressure from Republicans and that he's being unfairly targeted. I'm Haya Punjwani. Hallie Biden had a brief relationship with Hunter Biden after her husband's death and also testified she eventually started abusing crack herself.

Suzanne Collins will release a new book next year on her Hunger Games series. Here's the AP's Margie Zaraletta. Suzanne Collins is writing a book called Sunrise on the Reaping. It's set 24 years before the original Hunger Games novel and 40 years after her most recent book, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Collins says in a statement she was inspired by philosopher David Hume's concept of the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.
