Concerns about the water quality in the Seine River led officials to call off the swimming portion of an Olympic triathlon training session for a second straight day Monday.

The swimming portion of a practice run for the Olympic triathlon was canceled Sunday because of concerns about water quality in the Seine River, but Paris officials said they’re confident that triathletes will be able to swim this coming week.

A special prosecutor who had a romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has withdrawn from the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. A judge had ruled Wade had to leave or Willis couldn’t continue to pursue the charges. Wade’s role in the prosecution had come under fire since an attorney representing one of Trump’s co-defendants alleged in early January that Wade and Willis were involved in an inappropriate relationship that resulted in Willis profiting improperly from the prosecution. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said Friday the allegations created an “appearance of impropriety” that infected the prosecution team.

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump say he will not seek to get his Georgia election interference case transferred to federal court. The revelation in a court filing Thursday comes three weeks after a judge rejected a similar attempt by Trump's White House chief of staff. Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges alleging he illegally sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election. A venue change would not have meant that a reelected Trump could have pardoned himself because any conviction would have still happened under state law. It would have, however, broadened the jury pool and meant that a trial would not be photographed or televised.

A special grand jury investigating efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results recommended indictments against a much larger group than prosecutors ultimately charged, including one current and two former U.S. senators. The grand jury report released Friday shows the jurors recommended charges against 39 people, compared to the 18 charged along with ex-President Donald Trump. Those not indicted include Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, former U.S. Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue of Georgia and former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. The report was released at the request of the special grand jury and provides insight into one of the most expansive investigations into Trump.

Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of participating in an illegal scheme to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, and he will not appear in court in Atlanta this week. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee had scheduled arraignment hearings for Wednesday for Meadows, former President Donald Trump, and the other 17 people charged last month in a sprawling indictment but, by Tuesday afternoon, all had pleaded not guilty in filings with the court and waived their rights to arraignment hearings. Meadows and four others are seeking to move the charges against them to federal court.

Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty and sought to sever his case from other defendants accused along with him of illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. Trump’s decision Thursday to waive arraignment means he won’t have to show up for the hearing at Fulton County Superior Court judge set for Sept. 6, averting the dramatic arraignments that accompanied Trump's other criminal cases. Trump's attorney also sought to separate his case from others who are seeking a speedy trial. The attorney says giving the Republican former president less than two months to prepare a defense against a 98-page indictment would violate his constitutional rights.

Rudy Giuliani has surrendered to authorities in Georgia to face an indictment alleging he acted as former President Donald Trump’s chief co-conspirator in a plot to subvert the 2020 election. The former New York City mayor is charged with Trump and 17 other people under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The 79-year-old Giuliani is accused of spearheading Trump’s efforts to compel state lawmakers in Georgia and other closely contested states to illegally appoint electoral college electors favorable to Trump. After his booking, on $150,000 bond, second only to Trump's $200,000, Giuliani called his case “a fight for our way of life.”
