  • November 4, 2021: Chip Franklin - David Farenthold
    The Washington Post’s David A. Fahrenthold reports that the Manhattan DA has convened a second long-term grand jury to hear evidence about the Trump Organization’s financial practices, and potentially to vote on criminal charges.
    The new grand jury will meet three days a week over six months.
    One person familiar with the matter said the second grand jury was expected to examine how former president Donald Trump’s company valued its assets. The second grand jury’s term indicates that it could outlast District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. (D) — who leaves office at year’s end — and extend into the term of newly elected District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D).
    The seating of the new grand jury does not signal that any other Trump entities or executives will be charged. The second grand jury could end its term without indicting anyone.

  • November 4, 2021: Chip Franklin - 100 Million Vaxed by January 4th
    Andy Field - ABC Correspondent in Washington DC 
    Nearly 100 million U.S. workers will be required to get the COVID vaccine by Jan. 4, with some workers allowed to test weekly instead, under sweeping federal rules released today by the Biden administration that identifies COVID-19 as an occupational hazard.  The regulations are aimed at health care workers and businesses with 100 or more employees, covering two-thirds of the nation’s workforce. Businesses that don’t comply could be fined $14,000 per infraction, and hospitals could lose access to Medicare and Medicaid dollars.  Once divided on how to address the pandemic, Republican governors have united against the plan, insisting it represents dangerous federal overreach and would cripple business owners already dealing with worker shortages.  Supporters counter that many large businesses have already embraced vaccine mandates to both entice employees who want a safe workplace and end a pandemic that has hobbled the economy. They argue too that whenever employers have enacted mandates, the vast majority of workers comply. (The Walt Disney Company, the parent of ABC News, requires all of its new, salaried and non-union hourly employees to get vaccinated before heading to work.)
