AFTER A BOMBSHELL RESIGNATION…SPECULATION ON BRITAIN’S NEXT PRIME MINISTER BEGINS.
THE PENTAGON PAYING TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR ABORTIONS.
AND THE JURY IN KEVIN SPACEY’S TRIAL DELIVERS A VERDICT.
GOOD MORNING I’M KARAH RUCKER. AND HERE’S YOUR DAILY RUNDOWN.
LIZ TRUSS ANNOUNCED SHE IS LEAVING HER POSITION AS BRITAIN’S PRIME MINISTER AND BUZZ OVER WHO WILL LEAD THE COUNTRY HAS ALREADY BEGUN.
ON THE SHORT LIST OF CANDIDATES…IS CONTROVERSIAL POLITICAL FIGURE BORIS JOHNSON…THE FORMER PRIME MINISTER WHO RESIGNED —
AS TRUSS TOOK THE REIGNS.
IT’LL BE A HASTY PROCESS WITH A PARTY VOTE TAKING PLACE MONDAY —
FOR A COUNTRY DESPERATE FOR ‘LEADERSHIP’ AND A ‘PLAN’ TO CLIMB OUT OF SEVERAL CRISES.
THE PENTAGON WILL NOW COVER THE COSTS FOR A SERVICE MEMBER TO TRAVEL FOR AN ABORTION.
THE PROCEDURE ITSELF IS NOT COVERED BUT TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR THOSE STATIONED IN STATES WITH ABORTION RESTRICTIONS WILL BE REIMBURSED.
AND SINCE OUR MILITARY IS FEDERALLY FUNDED…IT’S TAXPAYER MONEY TO BE USED FOR SUCH EXPENSES.
40 PERCENT OF WOMEN IN THE MILITARY ARE STATIONED IN STATES WITH ABORTION BANS.
AND FINALLY…THE JURY IN KEVIN SPACEY’S TRIAL RETURNS A QUICK VERDICT…
FINDING HE DID NOT SEXUALLY ABUSE A FELLOW ACTOR ALMOST FORTY YEARS AGO.
IT MARKS ANOTHER VICTORY FOR SPACEY WHO HAS FACED SCRUTINY FOR SEVERAL SEXUAL-MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS.
CHARGES IN ANOTHER CASE WERE DROPPED BY PROSECUTORS.
BUT HE STILL HAS ANOTHER TRIAL IN LONDON THAT WILL BEGIN NEXT JUNE.
