Prosecutors have asked for South Korea's former president Yoon Suk Yeol to be handed a death sentence if he is found guilty over his botched attempt to impose martial law. A court in Seoul heard closing arguments in Yoon's trial, in which he was accused of being the "ringleader of an insurrection". The charge stems from Yoon's attempt in December 2024 to impose military rule in South Korea - an act that lasted just hours but plunged the country into political turmoil. He was later impeached by parliament and detained to face trial.
Several Republicans, including South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, have been busted casting doubt on President Donald Trump's claims of fraud in the 2020 election. A new report from The New York Times uncovered grand jury testimony from several senior Republican members in which they criticize the president and reveal the lengths he would go to believe the election was indeed stolen. The testimony was taken in 2022 and released after an order was lifted by judge Scott McAfee of Fulton County Superior Court, who ruled over the Georgia case. In his testimony, Graham described the president's claims as "unnerving." He also told the grand jurors, "I have told him more times than we can count that he fell short," and "if you told him Martians came and stole votes, he'd be inclined to believe it."

Yesterday, we wrote roughly 5,000 words on the shooting in Minneapolis, and didn't even get to half of the things we intended to discuss. That's the price of admission around here, we suppose; everyone knows that if you're someone who needs 10,000-20,000 words to say what you want to say, the punishment is that you either have to: (1) go to grad school in history or (2) go to law school.
The Minneapolis shooting is still a big story, and we've been collecting material for this item for 4 days. So, we're going to break it into sections. Buckle up, because it's going to be a bumpy ride.
