Judge in Trump classified docs case questions government about funding for special counsel
During a two-hour hearing Monday morning, the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case pressed government attorneys to provide more information about the funding of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation, at one point remarking that the funding presents a "separation of powers concern." The hearing, conducted by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, was a continuation of Friday's hearing in which defense attorneys sought to have the documents case dismissed on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed as special counsel. Trump pleaded not guilty last year to 40 criminal counts related to his handling of classified materials after leaving the White House, after prosecutors said he repeatedly refused to return hundreds of documents containing classified information and took steps to thwart the government's efforts to get the documents back.

1st Biden-Trump debate: What to know and how to watch
When President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump face off in Thursday's presidential debate, it will be a replay of 2020, but at the same time, much different now in 2024.

ABC News spoke with experts on how that could help, or hurt, each candidate -- and what difference it could make for American voters watching the showdown. The two rivals will face off in a studio at CNN's Atlanta headquarters in prime time on Thursday for the first presidential debate of the 2024 election. While it won't be the first time Biden and Trump have gone toe-to-toe on policy (the two sparred twice in 2020) it will look a lot different from debates past because of the guidelines established by CNN and agreed upon by both campaigns.

Blaming Trump for 'combustible atmosphere,' prosecutors to push for gag order in classified docs case
The judge overseeing Donald Trump's federal classified documents case will hear arguments this afternoon to consider imposing a limited gag order that would prohibit the former president from making statements that pose a "significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger" to law enforcement agents. The request for a gag order by the special counsel follows a month of escalating rhetoric from Trump about federal agents' use-of-force policy during their August 2022 search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate for classified documents, including a Trump campaign message that President Joe Biden was "locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger."

'A prayer answered': American detained for ammo in Turks and Caicos says of flight home
As Ryan Watson, an American tourist who had been charged with bringing ammunition to Turks and Caicos in April, boarded a plane after his release, he had only one thought on his mind. A judge last week fined Watson $2,000 for four bullets discovered in his luggage as he landed in the country in April, with the judge citing "exceptional circumstances" to avoid a potential minimum sentence of 12 years in prison. Watson would face 13 weeks imprisonment if he commits a crime in Turks and Caicos in the next nine months, the court said.

J.B. Pritzker-backed abortion-focused group launches first paid ad campaign on 2024 cycle
Think Big America, a nonprofit organization affiliated with Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, on Monday starts running its first paid advertising campaign of the 2024 election cycle across three “reproductive rights battleground states” where the group is supporting ongoing abortion access ballot initiative campaigns. The spot, part of the group's six-figure spending targeting and aimed at independent voters, will run on YouTube and connected television platforms in Arizona and Nevada, two states where measures related to protecting abortion will likely be on their November ballots, and in Florida, where an abortion-related ballot initiative is confirmed to appear in front of voters. “Two years ago, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court not only ripped away abortion access for tens of millions of women, they turned the clock back 50 years on reproductive healthcare,” said Pritzker in a statement.

Special counsel probed Trump Mar-a-Lago trip that aides 'kept quiet' weeks before FBI search: Sources
A trip to Mar-a-Lago taken by former President Donald Trump that aides allegedly "kept quiet" just weeks before FBI agents searched the property for classified materials in his possession raised suspicions among special counsel Jack Smith's team as a potential additional effort to obstruct the government's classified documents investigation, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The previously unreported visit, which allegedly took place July 10-12 in the summer of 2022, was raised in several interviews with witnesses, sources familiar with the matter said, as investigators sought to determine whether it was part of Trump's broader alleged effort to withhold the documents after receiving a subpoena demanding their return. At least one witness who worked closely with the former president recalled being told at the time of the trip that Trump was there "checking on the boxes," according to sources familiar with what the witness told investigators.

Where do legal challenges to abortion bans stand 2 years after Roe v. Wade was overturned?
In the two years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, litigation has been critical in restoring access to abortion care -- but it has not been a successful path in all states. At least 14 states have ceased nearly all abortion services and seven other states have restrictions in effect, limiting access to the procedure. State courts around the country have been the site of battles over how to regulate abortion care -- with abortion rights advocates making a number of different arguments in their efforts to restore access to care.
