Donald Trump Jr. got so worked up speaking about the FBI’s search to recover confidential documents from his father’s home last week that it even caused critics of the former president’s namesake to wonder about his well-being.
The Atlantic writer Molly Jong-Fast posted the 44-year-old scion’s rapid-fire rant, which included a nonstop stream of loosely connected grievances running the gamut from Hillary Clinton to Hunter Biden and everything in between. That included implying the FBI was part of some kind of deep-state plot.

Jimmie Johnson added ovals to his IndyCar schedule this season and the circuits have been his strength. Now as IndyCar races its final oval of the year Saturday night at Gateway outside St. Louis, Johnson is hoping to at last notch his first series victory. Johnson finished a career-best fifth on the Iowa Speedway oval last month. He's also raced at Gateway three times in his career, all in NASCAR but not since 2001.
Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters says he hopes Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will back his close campaign in Arizona. Masters on Friday struck a magnanimous tone toward the GOP leader he fiercely criticized during the primary. Masters has softened the harder edges of his confrontational style and moved toward the center on key issues since emerging atop a crowded GOP field in this month’s primary. He’s relying on deep-pocketed donors and national Republicans to make up for a severe financial deficit against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly. Masters spoke to The Associated Press a day after McConnell suggested that Republican efforts to win control of the Senate could be imperiled by lackluster candidates
A Mexican immigrant was sentenced to 38 years in prison in the fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk during a 2015 robbery in Arizona. Prosecutors had initially sought the death penalty against Apolinar Altamirano in the attack on Grant Ronnebeck. But a court later ruled prosecutors couldn’t pursue his execution because Altamirano is intellectually disabled. The 21-year-old clerk was fatally shot over a pack of cigarettes at the store in Mesa. His death was cited by former President Donald Trump and other Republicans in complaints about crimes being committed by immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Studies suggest immigrants are less likely to commit crime than people born in the U.S.
The Chicago White Sox have signed Elvis Andrus for the remainder of the season, adding a veteran shortstop with All-Star Tim Anderson sidelined by a finger injury. Andrus, who turns 34 next week, recently cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Oakland Athletics. Andrus gives the White Sox experience with Anderson expected to be out until late September after having surgery for a torn ligament in his left middle finger on Aug. 11. Chicago also optioned infielder Lenyn Sosa to Triple-A Charlotte before its game at Cleveland.
Javier Bardem is confident that audiences in America will enjoy “The Good Boss” as much as those in Spain when the film arrives in the U.S. later this month. The satire on corporate corruption opens August 26 in New York and Los Angeles before a nationwide rollout, after winning six Goya Awards — Spain's equivalent to the Oscars — and shortlisted to the Academy Award for best international feature film. Bardem plays the owner of an industrial scales manufacturing business that goes to great lengths to solve any problems from his workers. He says the story's global appeal has been apparent by audience reactions during its Oscar campaign and its theatrical run in Spain.

Experience is No. 25 BYU’s biggest strength entering its final season as an independent before joining the Big 12 in 2023. The Cougars return 18 starters from a team that posted 10 wins and finished in the AP Top 25 for a second consecutive season. Several key veteran playmakers will lead the offense, including quarterback Jaren Hall, tight end Isaac Rex, and receivers Gunner Romney and Puka Nacua. BYU used the transfer portal to find a capable successor for Tyler Allgeier in the backfield, bringing in Cal's Christopher Brooks. BYU opens the season at South Florida on Sept. 3.
ATLANTA — Fulton County prosecutors pushed back Friday against U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who is seeking to delay his testimony before the special purpose grand jury studying interference in Georgia’s 2020 elections as he appeals a recent ruling from a federal judge.

Several boats, buildings and vessels were destroyed by a large fire at a Massachusetts boatyard. Aerial video taken by WCVB-TV on Friday showed several boats and vehicles at the boatyard in Mattapoisett either burned out shells or being consumed by flames. People who picked up the phones at the Mattapoisett fire and police departments said no one was available to comment. It was unclear if anyone was hurt. The area of the fire was part of a National Weather Service warning Friday of elevated fire risk due to drought and high winds. It sent a plume of dense black smoke over southeastern Massachusetts.
New Orleans has quietly moved a cannon owned by a unit that fought for the Confederacy out of a French Quarter park to a Louisiana National Guard museum. The pocket park overlooks Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral. It was renamed last year from Washington Artillery Park to Oscar Dunn Park — honoring a lieutenant governor who took office in 1868 as the nation’s first Black elected executive. The renaming proposal did not get any opposition in two online forums.
Friends and fellow authors have spoken out on Salman Rushdie's behalf during a rally on the steps of the main branch of the New York Public Library. Friday's rally came a week after Rushdie was attacked onstage in western New York and hospitalized with stab wounds. His literary agent says he has been removed from a ventilator. Jeffrey Eugenides, Tina Brown and Kiran Desai were among those who shared wishes for a full recovery and read passages from his books, essays and speeches. Other readers included Gay Talese, Andrew Solomon and Reginald Dwayne Betts.

Roglic’s teammate Robert Gesink ended with the leader’s red jersey in his ninth participation in the Grand Tour race.
There was some pushing, shoving and a couple of swings between the New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons. And also some practice. The teams got together Friday for the first of two joint sessions at the Jets’ practice facility and the tempers matched the sultry heat early on. New York’s defensive line and Atlanta’s offensive line got into two shoving matches during positional drills that were quickly diffused. During 11-on-11 team drills Jets defensive lineman Bradlee Anae got into it with a Falcons player and appeared to throw some punches. The team drills on that field were paused for a few minutes before practice ran clean the rest of the way.
Pakistani officials say an aide of former Prime Minister Imran Khan who was recently arrested on treason charges for alleged anti-military remarks was hospitalized this week after complaining of breathing difficulties. Shahbaz Gill, who is also the chief of staff at Khan’s opposition party, was arrested after appearing earlier this month on the private ARY TV station where he allegedly incited troops and officers to mutiny. Officials say Gill was taken from his jail cell to hospital on Wednesday. He appeared briefly before a court in Islamabad on Friday, in a wheelchair and using an oxygen tank, after police demanded they be allowed to question him further. However, the court ordered that Gill remain in hospital till Monday.
Boise State finished last season with seven wins for its lowest total since 1998. The Broncos responded with a renewed focus on the roots of the program’s success. For the first time since 2016, Boise State did not end last season in the Mountain West Conference championship game. The Broncos finished third in the Mountain Division — their lowest finish since joining the conference. The Broncos feel they are poised for a rebound. They bring back quarterback Hank Bachmeier and running back George Holani and should be very good on defense.
LOS ANGELES — Drummer Travis Barker has COVID-19, contracting the virus nearly two months after he was hospitalized for pancreatitis.

Abortion opponents and abortion rights advocates together spent more than $22 million on a ballot question this month in Kansas, and famed film director and producer Steven Spielberg contributed to the successful effort to affirm abortion rights. The campaign was over a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would have allowed the Republican-controlled Legislature to further restrict or ban abortion. Finance reports filed by 40 groups and individuals with the state showed that abortion rights supporters spent $11.3 million on their campaign to defeat the measure. Abortion opponents who pushed the measure spent nearly $11.1 million. Spielberg and his actress wife Kate Capshaw each contributed $25,000 to the no campaign.
Tevin Campbell is opening up about his sexuality, coming out to the world this week as a gay man in an interview with the People magazine podcast "People Every Day."
The operators of a Tucson nightclub have won a $1.6 million settlement against the landlord who locked them out of their business during the pandemic. The Arizona Daily Star reported Thursday that a jury in Pima County Superior Court sided earlier this month with Congress Street Clubs, the owners of Zen Rock nightclub. They awarded money to cover value of the terms left on the lease and for renovations and equipment costs. An attorney for the landlord declined to comment. In the lawsuit, the owners say they closed in March 2020 per Gov. Doug Ducey’s executive order. They could not pay rent for several months because of pandemic restrictions.
A divided Louisiana Supreme Court says a north Louisiana mayor can run for reelection, despite providing incorrect information about his voting address in his qualifying papers. Friday's 4-3 ruling reverses two lower courts that had ruled against Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins, who owns two residences in the city. A Shreveport resident had sued to knock Perkins off the Nov. 8 ballot because his qualifying papers falsely indicated that he is registered to vote at the address where he claims a homestead tax exemption. The majority held that state law does not provide for disqualification of a candidate under that circumstance.
Charlene Curtis, the first Black women’s head basketball coach in the ACC, has died. She was 67, and died after a battle with cancer, the conference announced. Curtis was the head coach at Wake Forest from 1997-2004, after head coaching stops at Radford and Temple, where she also was the first African-American head women’s basketball coach. She worked in the ACC league offices for 11 years, retiring in 2019 as the supervisor of officials for women’s basketball. Curtis played basketball at Radford shortly after the passage of Title IX in 1972 and become that school’s first 1,000-point scorer and a member of its Hall of Fame.
Helio Castroneves will return next year for a 26th full season in IndyCar. He has signed a one-year contract extension with Meyer Shank Racing. The additional season was announced ahead of Saturday night's race outside of St. Louis on the final oval on this year's IndyCar schedule. Castroneves has been outstanding at World Wide Technology Raceway and is hoping for a big finish to mark what has been an inconsistent season with MSR. But the results haven't mattered so much as Castroneves has proven to be a sponsor's dream and gives the team an automatic shot to win the Indianapolis 500.
Singer Loudon Wainwright III has been writing about aging before he had any real concept of what that meant. Now he's turned 75, and the songwriter's first collection of new compositions in eight years is loosely themed on hitting that milestone and the wisdom the years offer. Of course, the man Rolling Stone magazine once called the “poet laureate of family dysfunction” can't resist writing about family, too. He does so most prominently in a laugh-out-loud funny song about a man who craves a vacation from, not with, his family. The folk patriarch, looking back on a half-century of making music, says "it’s been great.''

A Florida grand jury empaneled after a deadly mass shooting at a Parkland high school has recommended that four members of that school board be fired. The grand jury in a report released Friday called on Gov. Ron DeSantis to suspend Broward County school board members Patricia Good, Donna Korn, Ann Murray and Laurie Rich Levinson. It also criticized former Superintendent Robert Runcie and former board member Rosalind Osgood, who is now a state senator. The grand jury has been investigating circumstances surrounding the 2018 shooting at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 dead. The board members did not immediately respond to requests for comment nor did DeSantis.
The New York Giants have had a rash of injuries at center in training camp. Since camp opened in late July, New York has seen five centers hurt at some point. Coach Brian Daboll says the Giants will not have starter Jon Feliciano and backups Ben Bredeson, Garrett McGhin, Jamil Douglas and Shane Lemieux for Sunday's preseason game against Cincinnati. The injuries will force Max Garcia, who had been running with the first team at left guard, to move to center.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is telling airlines to do a better job of helping stranded travelers or they will face new regulations. Buttigieg wants airlines to provide lodging for passengers stranded overnight. He also says they should give out meal vouchers when flights are delayed three hours or longer. That's if the disruption is caused by something in the airline’s control. Buttigieg wrote to the CEOs of most leading U.S. airlines in letters that the Transportation Department released Friday. Airline trade groups did not comment immediately. Buttigieg has been sparring with the airlines since late spring over high numbers of canceled and delayed flights. The airlines and federal agencies have blamed each other for the flight disruptions.
Walmart, the nation’s largest employer, is expanding its abortion coverage for employees after staying largely mum on the issue for months following the Supreme Court ruling that scrapped a nationwide right to abortion. In a memo sent to employees on Friday, the company said its health care plans will now cover abortion for employees “when there is a health risk to the mother, rape or incest, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or lack of fetal viability.” In Arkansas, where Walmart is based, abortion is banned under all circumstances unless the procedure is needed to protect the life of the mother in a medical emergency. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.
Authorities say three people were killed after two small planes collided in Northern California while trying to land at a rural airport. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Friday that the names of those killed Thursday at the Watsonville Municipal Airport will be released once their families have been notified. Federal Aviation Administration officials said that there were two people aboard a twin-engine Cessna 340 and only the pilot aboard a single-engine Cessna 152 during the crash. The city-owned airport does not have a control tower to direct aircraft landing and taking off. The airport accounts for about 40% of all general aviation activities in the Monterey Bay area, according to the City of Watsonville’s website.
