1)  From ABC News, I’m Richard Cantu. In a long-telegraphed move, President Trump has fired David Shulkin, Veterans Affairs Secretary, says he will nominate White House position Ronny Jackson to the job. “President Trump made it a campaign promise to reform the Department of the Veterans Affairs, saying he would make the VA great again. David Shulkin was given a mandate to take aggressive steps to bring reform. Last summer the President signed the bill that would make it easier for the department leaders to cut through bureaucracy and quickly fire federal employees at the VA who were underperforming. At the signing ceremony, the President referenced ‘You’re fired’ catchphrase from his “Apprentice.” He told Shulkin that he would never have to use those words on him. Karen Travers, ABC News at the White House.

 

2) The lawyer for adult entertainer Stormy Daniels wants President Trump to sit down for a deposition in her bid to be freed from a nondisclosure agreement covering hush money she was paid. Daniels’ lawyer claims brief testimony by the President is needed for her to prove her case, but Trump will say the deal she signed, says her case may only be hushed out in a secret arbitration, so before the judge can decide if the President has to sit for deposition, he will first rule if the arbitration Trump wants should go forward. ABC News, legal analyst Royal Oakes.

 

3) A federal jury in Orlando has begun delivering the case of Noor Salman. Prosecutors say the widow of Pulse nightclub massacre shooter Omar Mateen knew what he was up to but did nothing.

 

4) About 40 Wisconsin students completed a 50-mile march supporting gun control from the capital Madison to Janesville, a hometown of House Speaker Paul Ryan, reminding. “Come November, if the politicians do not make the change, then we will change the politicians. Thank you.” Organizers with challenging students across the country hold their own marches.

 

5) One person dead in San Francisco, four others hospitalized after someone involved in a street fight got into their car and ran down the group of people. A person has been detained.

 

6) A down day on Wall Street with the Dow closing off 9 points and the NASDAQ losing 60. You’re listening to ABC News.
