A key grand jury witness in a case against a former Olympic canoeistaccused of tampering with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool testified that the area was already damaged and would have required repairs regardless, lawyers said in a court filing today
David “Davey” Hearn was indicted this monthand accused of damaging the liner of the long, shallow pool near the Washington Monument. Hearn, who has pleaded not guilty, previously told NBC News that “the condition of the Reflecting Pool was the same after I stepped away from the water as it was before I got there.”

Trump speech ends
Trump’s remarks in Michigan ended at 4:15 p.m. ET. He spoke for about one hour and five minutes. The crowd stayed very engaged throughout his remarks, cheering and chanting throughout
Trump gave a freewheeling campaign-style address, ticking through various policy actions his administration has taken in his second term. He warned against communism again, claiming Democrat-run cities are “dirty,” and called for the passage of the SAVE America Act
There were at least three protest disruptions during his remarks

Thune rejects Trump’s calls to cancel August recess to pass SAVE America Act
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., did not seem keen to keep the Senate in town in August to acquiesce to calls from Trump and a group of Senate Republicans who say they should not adjourn for the August recess until the SAVE America Act is passed
“For me, it’s all about: Show me a path to passage,” Thune told reporters this afternoon. “What’s your picture of victory at the end on this? Because if the endgame is we actually get an outcome or a result, we could stay here till Christmas.”
Thune has repeatedly said there are not enough Republican senators to pass the SAVE America Act or vote to get rid of the 60-vote filibuster threshold
Thune said he’s “not ruling it out” to stay longer than scheduled to take care of legislative priorities, but he was dubious about calls to stay to take up the SAVE America Act
“Republicans are not getting rid of the legislative filibuster,” he said. “This is not an open question; it’s just a fact, and the facts don’t change now.”

Trump boosts GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers
Trump pulled Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers onstage, once again boosting the candidacy of the former representative, whom he has endorsed to fill the seat of the retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters
Trump joked that Rogers won his last race, when he unsuccessfully ran for the Senate against Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. Rogers lost to Slotkin by less than half a percentage point
“I happen to think he won last time. OK, he’s a great guy, and he’s all over Washington. He’s one of the best candidates we have anywhere. He’s smart. He’s tough. He’s fair. His name is Mike Rogers, and he will be a great senator,” Trump said
Rogers pledged to help Trump pass the SAVE America Act if he is elected
Moderate Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., and progressive Abdul El-Sayed will debate each other tonight on WJBK-TV of Detroit as they both seek the Democratic nomination. Whoever wins the primary next week will face off with Rogers in November

Rep. John James falsely says Trump won Michigan ‘3 times’
Trump called Rep. John James, a Republican contender for governor in Michigan, to the stage along with other GOP candidates at his rally moments ago
James, in brief remarks at the microphone, indulged in Trump’s repeated false claims that he won Michigan in the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden
“Well, thanks, Mr. President for coming back to Michigan, where you’ve won three times,” James said. “We very much appreciate your leadership.”
James faces self-funded businessman Perry Johnson in next week’s Republican primary. Trump has endorsed James but has expressed concern about his candidacy in the past, specifically worrying that James’ decision to seek higher office risks putting his competitive House district in play
Trump welcomed James to the stage this afternoon with a blunt assessment
“You have to win, John James,” Trump said. “You have to win.”

Trump spends speech largely blasting Democrats
Trump has spent his nearly 45 minutes onstage thus far broadly criticizing Democrats, comparing them to communists and claiming Democratic-run cities are dirty
He has mentioned the words “communist” or “communism” more than 10 times, claiming, “Communism is the greatest threat to our country in history, including even World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor or 9/11.”

Trump asks Supreme Court to allow implementation of his election executive order
Trump has asked the Supreme Court to allow him to implement his executive order that seeks to exert control over mail ballots submitted in state-run elections
A federal judge last month blocked parts of the proposal that sought to create a federal list of voters and ordered the U.S. Postal Service to deliver ballots only to certain people
Lower courts declined to put the ruling on hold, leading the administration to turn to the Supreme Court
Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in the filing that it was premature for courts to rule on the issue, as neither the Postal Service nor other agencies have determined how they will implement the executive order
Trump has frequently railed against the widespread use of mail-in ballots as part of his broader complaints, offered without evidence, that the election system is plagued with fraud

Protests breaks out at Trump speech
An anti-data center protest just broke out at Trump’s event at the General Motors proving ground in Milford. The protesters unfurled yellow banners emblazoned with the slogan “STOP DATA CENTERS” before they were escorted out
It was the second protest at the speech so far. The first protester was a man who appeared to be yelling something about previous elections. He continued to yell and resist as police took him out of the room. Noticing the commotion, Trump said: “He’s a communist. We’re running against communists.”

Trump says tariffs are ‘amazing’ for GM
Trump said GM is thriving because of his tariff policies
“They’ve come a long way. It’s amazing what tariffs will do for General Motors and what the election has done,” Trump said during his tour of a GM facility before his remarks
“They’re doing great. General Motors is doing fantastically, the best year they’ve ever had, and I won’t get into it. But there’s a reason,” he said

Despite Trump’s claims, GM is not having its best year ever, and tariffs have cost it billions of dollars. It did collect a $500 million refund after the Supreme Court overturned some of Trump’s tariffs this year
Trump levied tariffs of 10% to 12% on60 countries last week and hit Canada with tariffs as high as 50%, charging it has been unfairly discriminating against various U.S. industries, including the auto industry
“We’ve been very good to General Motors, and the rest of the world doesn’t love me, but that’s OK. It’s called America First. It’s been amazing,” Trump said
GM CEO Mary Barra told NBC News last month that she wanted a level playing field between the U.S. and China, which she defined as “equivalent tariffs and not being subsidized.”

Citing ‘common sense,’ James Comey’s team urges judge to toss seashells case
Attorneys for James Comey have moved for the dismissal of the seashells-based prosecution of the former FBI director, arguing that “dictionaries, context, precedent, and common sense” gut the Trump administration’s claim that a photo he posted on Instagram could possibly constitute an actual threat against Trump
If the Comey seashells case manages to survive legal challenges, it would go to trial in October. Federal prosecutors had convinced a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina to return the indictment back in April when they claimed that the photo of seashells in the formation of the numbers “86 47” was a threat to do harm to the president. Matthew Petracca, a rookie federal prosecutor and former Republican official who first brought the case, has since moved off the case.

Trump expresses confidence in Hegseth amid pause in Iran strikes
Trump expressed confidence in Pete Hegseth while en route to Michigan today, saying he thinks his defense secretary “has done a great job” when asked by a reporter whether he is frustrated with Hegseth’s advice on Iran early on in the war
“They want to meet, and we’re meeting,” Trump said, referring to Iran, adding, “Without what we did, they wouldn’t even be talking to us.”
“They would not have requested the meeting if we were doing poorly,” Trump said. “The only reason they want to meet is because we’ve been hitting them very hard.”
Trump also said he is not concerned about the state of the U.S. weapons stockpile. NBC News has previously reportedthat U.S. military commanders are allowing some Iranian attacks through U.S. defenses as part of an effort to preserve the Pentagon’s weapons supply
“We’re building that up,” Trump said. “But we have a lot. We have a lot of the mid-level stuff, too. I mean, more than we could ever use no matter what. But we have a lot. I’d like to have more, to be honest, but so much was given to Ukraine by Biden.”
The president added that he would like the U.S. to have more of the “more sophisticated stuff.”
Trump was asked by a reporter about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s allegation that Russia was providing satellite surveillance of U.S. military facilities to Iran
“Well, we’ll find out if that’s true,” Trump said, adding that he would ask Russian President Vladimir Putin
If that is the case, Trump said, “It hasn’t had much impact, because we’ve knocked the hell out of them.”

Voters show division over Michigan candidates for governor ahead of Trump’s visit
On the drive to Trump’s rally at the General Motors proving ground, two men stood along the side of the road covering signs for the Trump-endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate, Rep. John James, with signs for his primary opponent, businessman Perry Johnson
Trump’s event comes just a week before Michigan Republicans head to the polls to choose their nominee for governor, testing the power of that endorsement in one of the state’s most high profile races. Michigan backed Trump in both 2016 and 2024 but has continued to elect Democrats statewide
At the sprawling venue, NBC News spoke with Ron Soyk, 58, of Lincoln Park, who said he planned to back Johnson over James. Soyk criticized James as a fixture of the party establishment
Soyk said of Johnson, “He’s like Trump, he’s a businessman. I’ve had enough of career politicians.”
Trump is expected to take part in a drag race and vehicle demonstration before his remarks this afternoon, and will appear alongside James and others, including former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, who is running for Senate after a narrow loss last cycle

Trump urges Senate GOP leader to delay August recess until they advance his elections agenda
Trump pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune to prevent senators from leaving Washington, D.C., until they pass the president’s elections overhaul bill or do away with the filibuster
“John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to ‘leave town’ until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post this morning
Thune, R-S.D., has said there are not enough votes in the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill that would require ID at the polls and proof of citizenship to register to vote
The Senate’s monthlong recess is currently scheduled to start in early August
On getting rid of the filibuster, Trump wrote that Democrats “will do it on day one” if they get a majority in Congress
“Remember, stupidity always brings LOSING & DEATH!” Trump wrote in the post
Senate Democrats have soughtto weaken the filibuster rule in recent years, but were unsuccessful in the effort

Trump makes third visit to Michigan ahead of next week’s primaries
Today marks Trump’s third visit to Michigan during this term and his second this year
The president is traveling to Milford, in Oakland County, where he will tour and make remarks at the General Motors’ proving ground
Milford is in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District — a swing district where a crowded field of Democrats are competing to challenge incumbent Republican Tom Barrett, whom Trump has endorsed, but who has broken with the presidentover the war in Iran
Trump’s visit comes just a week before the state’s Aug. 4 primaries — with a number of hotly contested races expected to influence the balance of power in Washington
Progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed and moderate Rep. Haley Stevens are competing in the Senate Democratic primary to challenge Trump-endorsed Republican Rep. Mike Rogers this fall
The GOP candidate for governor will also be decided in next week’s primary. Trump recently endorsed GOP Rep. John James in that contest
The president’s visit also comes on the day that the Gordie Howe International Bridge — connecting Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit — officially opens to vehicle traffic. As Trump has been threatening — and imposing — new tariffs on Canada, Canadian officials disinvited U.S. officials from the ribbon cutting of the bridge last week

Trump border czar Tom Homan says ICE is reviewing officer’s vetting after fatal Maine shooting
Trump’s border czar said yesterday that the vetting of an immigration officer involved in the deadly shooting of a Colombian native in Maine is under internal review after relatives revealed to The Associated Press that he had a history of serious mental health struggles and violent behavior
Tom Homan said if the allegations against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer are true, “I don’t think he should ever have cleared vetting.”

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed says a win for him could pave way for a John Fetterman primary in 2028
Abdul El-Sayed, the former public health official locked in a tense battle for Michigan’s Democratic Senate nomination, told donors on a recent call that a victory for him could reverberate into 2028
El-Sayed, who faces Rep. Haley Stevens in next week’s primary, specifically fixated on Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who will be up for a second term that year
Fetterman won his seat in 2022 with strong ties to populist and progressive voters, but he has taken a more moderate tack since being elected and often stokes speculations that he will switch parties or become an independent
“So, you know, a big pickup for us could be that John Fetterman seat, right?” El-Sayed told donors, according to audio obtained by NBC News. “They’re going to eff around and give me carte blanche to go take them out. Like, that’s the best thing about the way they’re doing this … if I win, you’re just like, ‘Well, y’all came at me, so now I get to come at you.’”
El-Sayed added that “primarying people like John Fetterman” is something he is “looking forward to” doing
“And people are like, ‘Ah, we don’t primary the Senate.’ I’m like, ‘Watch me do it,” El-Sayed said. “You know what I mean? Like, tell me, tell me why I should stop. You know what I mean? You’re going to spend $60 million to beat me. OK, two can play at that game. And then what happens is, ideally, you put one ogre on a pike, and then everyone else gets the message, and all of a sudden it starts to sound a lot different.”
Politico first reported on the call
The “ogre” remark prompted a swift reaction from Stevens’ campaign in a race where the congresswoman’s speaking style and appearance have been critiqued online to the point where El-Sayed has asked his supporters to not partake in the meanspirited sniping
“Abdul continues with personal insults and making this race about his personal political ambitions and the other 49 states,” said Arik Wolk, a Stevens campaign spokesperson. “Haley is focused on getting things done for Michigan, and only Michigan.”
El-Sayed has used the word “ogre” to describe Fetterman in the past, including in a social media video posted May 12
Fetterman, in a responsele invoking a Michigan city and comparing El-Sayed to Graham Platner, the populist scandal-plagued former Senate candidate in Maine who shared a consulting firm with El-Sayed. “I pick being Senator Shrek over being the Pontiac Platner any day,” Fetterman said
Asked about El-Sayed’s comments on the donor call, a spokesperson for his campaign said: “Abdul was clearly speaking metaphorically about the fact that he fully intends to support a primary against John Fetterman, who despite being elected to support the values Abdul fights for has sold out his voters and votes with Trump more than any other Democrat.”

Judge says the DOJ can release Biden’s conversations with ghostwriter to the House Judiciary Committee
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled today that the Justice Department can release transcripts and audio of Biden’s conversations with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer to the House Judiciary Committee
Biden dropped the lawsuit he had filed against the Trump administration in an effort to block the release of the information to the committee. Last week,a federal appeals court rejected Biden’s request to prevent the release
NBC News has reached out to the House Judiciary Committee and the Justice Department for comment
Zwonitzer interviewed Biden for his memoir “Promise Me, Dad” before he served as president. Former special counsel Robert Hur had previously obtained the recordings during the investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents

“I want to be crystal clear: The U.S. military, and I’ve verified this every which way, has everything that it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be,” he said. “And I have to tell you, the people that are leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail.”

Pentagon’s official Iran war death toll no longer lists 4 troops killed during renewed fighting
The four American troops killed during renewed fighting between the U.S. and Iran in recent weeks are no longer listed as part of the Iran war death toll in the Defense Department’s official casualty count but have been placed in a new, separate category
It is raising questions about properly counting the impact to U.S. service members as the Trump administration has escalated strikes on Iran in a bid to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while providing little indication of how it intends to wind down a conflict that is unpopular with many Americans

Trump is set to defend his economic policies in Michigan, where new Canadian tariffs may sting
Trump plans to tout his handling of the economy during a visit to suburban Detroit today, defending sweeping tariffs in a swing state where their effects have hurt many businesses as midterm election season heats up
Trump is visiting a General Motors facility in Milford, home to tracks and proving grounds for new models and vehicles. Early voting is underway for Michigan’s Aug. 4 primary, which features fierce nomination fights in both major political parties
Republican Mike Rogers is unopposed in the Senate primary, but the GOP gubernatorial contest pits Trump-backed Rep. John James against Perry Johnson, a businessman turned politician who has launched unsuccessful campaigns before, including for president in 2024
Meanwhile, the Democratic Senate primary between Rep. Haley Stevens and progressive Abdul El-Sayed has drawn national attention for the right to face Rogers, who was narrowly defeated by Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin in 2024
Michigan was one of the 2024 battlegrounds Trump flipped after it backed Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. But the state has also seen parts of its economy affected by the president’s tariffs, including on imported cars and auto parts
A new round of steep import levies is taking effect on dozens of U.S. trading partners. But Trump has singled out Canada with tariffs as high as 50% on a wide array of its products, including cars
The president is visiting Oakland County, which encompasses much of Detroit’s northern suburbs. Once a Republican stronghold, it has increasingly leaned Democratic, backing Biden against Trump in 2020 and then-Vice President Kamala Harris against Trump four years later
The White House says Trump will talk up having generated manufacturing jobs and foreign investment in the U.S. while making the case that his policies and leadership have boosted the auto industry
Michigan’s economy relies heavily on Canada, however, meaning the new tariffs — coupled with inflation still running high and gas prices rising again as the already unpopular war in Iran escalates — have created additional economic concerns statewide
