SUMMARY: US Senator Roger Wicker has claimed that he and his committee colleagues were not briefed about a recent international conflict in Russia. The conflict involved Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin of the Wagner Group, a private network of mercenaries, who turned against Russian forces and appeared to be threatening an armed rebellion. Prigozhin eventually backed down after negotiations with President Vladimir Putin. Wicker expressed concern that intelligence officials and leaders in the Biden administration kept the committee in the dark about this issue, which falls under their scope of influence. He believes Prigozhin was trying to oust Putin but failed. Wicker speculates that Prigozhin is now in Belarus.

SUMMARY: Bricen Rivers has pleaded not guilty to capital murder, vehicle theft, and tampering with evidence related to the death of his ex-girlfriend, Lauren Johansen, whose body was found in a car trunk in Mississippi. Rivers fled the scene before his capture during a manhunt. The murder is believed to have occurred in Forrest County, and the case was transferred there. Rivers had previously been imprisoned for beating and kidnapping Johansen but was out on bond due to an administrative mistake. Johansen’s father, Lance, is advocating for “Lauren’s Law” to prevent bond eligibility for violent offenders. Rivers’ trial is set for June 25, 2025.
