Last Body Recovered From MD Bridge Collapse; Trump FL Trial Delayed

1 week ago Officials say the body of the last missing construction worker killed in the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in March has been recovered. Salvage divers located the remains of 37-year-old Jose Mynor Lopez on Tuesday. Demolition crews are preparing to use explosives to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed bridge. Officials say the controlled demolition is expected to take place in the coming days. The crew of the grounded Dali will remain aboard the ship while the explosives are detonated. Officials previously said they hoped to remove the Dali by May 10.

Donald Trump's trial in Florida on charges of illegally keeping classified documents after leaving office has been indefinitely postponed, a judge decided on Tuesday, greatly reducing the odds he will face a jury in either of the two federal criminal cases against him before the Nov. 5 U.S. election.

Trump, seeking to regain the presidency, previously had been scheduled to go to trial on May 20 in the documents case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, but the prosecution and defense had both acknowledged that date would need to be delayed.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump in 2020, said on Tuesday the trial would no longer begin May 20 but did not set a new date. Cannon scheduled pre-trial hearings to run through July 22.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to 40 federal counts accusing him of retaining sensitive national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office in 2021 and obstructing U.S. government efforts to retrieve them.
