AP News, I'm Ben Thomas, President Biden's planning dispute shortly on a Supreme Court ruling involving his predecessor, Mark Sherman has details. The Supreme Court ruled former presidents can be immune from prosecution for acts they took while in office. But in the case of former President Trump, it is leaving to a lower court to decide whether he can be prosecuted on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election. The outcome makes it unlikely that a trial could be held before the November election. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's insisting President Biden can still win her state, as many Democrats question his candidacy after a shaky debate performance last week at Donahue has the latest. Whitmer says she is 100 percent behind the president. The statement comes after Politico reported Whitmer called Biden campaign chair General Malley Dillon the day after the debate. It cited a source who said Whitmer declared Michigan was no longer winnable for the president. An aide to the governor says the reported comment was false. In her statement, Whitmer says not only does she believe Biden can win Michigan, she knows he can because he's got the receipts and is committed to restoring the reproductive freedom women lost under Donald Trump.

The latest on a murder case against a Boston police officer's girlfriend, Jackie Quinn has the story. A Massachusetts jury was unable to reach a verdict in the second degree murder case against Karen Reed accused of running down her boyfriend with an SUV. The Boston area judge declared a mistrial after jurors sent another note they were hopelessly deadlocked as they were last week. Reed's lawyer back in April told the jury she wasn't responsible for Boston police officer John O'Keefe's death after he was found outdoors unresponsive. In January 2022, Karen Reed was framed. The defense suggested another officer had killed O'Keefe at a gathering at a home in Canton and planted evidence to make it look like Reed was guilty. I'm Jackie Quinn and I'm Ben Thomas, AP News, thanks for listening.
