The Justice Department has initiated a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault, focusing on possible perjury in her civil lawsuits against him. This follows previous jury awards to Carroll, which Trump is appealing. In international news, strikes between the US and Iran have raised concerns about a fragile ceasefire, occurring just as Trump aims for a favorable deal to conclude the conflict. Domestically, Trump declared his health as 'PERFECT' following an annual physical, although questions regarding his medical transparency remain. Furthermore, Republicans are poised to gain a significant advantage in the midterm elections due to aggressive redistricting efforts that could yield a 10-seat lead. In Laos, cave divers are cautiously optimistic about rescuing five of the seven villagers trapped in a flooded cave, with the rescue operation ahead being high-stakes.
