An invitation to a Trump rally was part of a much more disturbing plan, investigators say. A 32-year-old Austin man is charged with online solicitation of a minor after allegedly discussing sex and a possible pregnancy with a 15-year-old Harris County girl—and inviting her and her parents to join him at a rally in San Antonio.

After the girl tried to end contact, her mother reported the messages to police and allowed investigators to take over her online identity. The man then discussed meeting the girl in a hotel room or rental car, according to records, but he did not show up for the planned meeting because of Hurricane Isaias. Court records also show he was arrested in Florida in 2022 in a separate case involving an allegation against a minor.

Katie Zacharia gets absolutely roasted on Fox News for cosplaying as an attorney. Her brilliant defense? She consulted "many people" who assured her that as long as she only called herself a lawyer and not an attorney, it was totally fine to skip passing the bar. Sure, Jan.

Alistair Bunkall: President Zelenskyy, Alistair from Sky News. President Trump is facing pretty difficult midterm elections. His personal popularity is very low. Diesel prices in the US are very high. And the war that he started in the Middle East is not going the way he wants it. Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for his own problems?

President Zelenskyy: [Smiles] This is my answer.

Alistair Bunkall: Thank you so much.
