1) From ABC News, I’m Daria Albinger. Ten years in prison,
that’s the sentence the Dallas jury handed a former police officer, Amber Guyger, for the murder of her neighbor.
“Amber Guyger could have gotten life in prison for the killing of Botham Jean last year. This jury deliberated
for less than an hour and a half before deciding that she should spend ten
years behind bars. It took six hours for the same panel to find her guilty of
murder. Guyger stared straight ahead as the verdict was read, turned very briefly
to look toward the gallery, and then quickly walked out of the court room. She’d
be required to serve at least half of her sentence before she is eligible for
parole. Jim Ryan, ABC News, Dallas.

President Trump and the President of Finland held a joint news conference at
the White House today, but most of the questions President Trump fielded were
focused on a whistleblower complaint, which says he pressed the Ukraine’s
leader to investigate the family of rival Joe
Biden. “President Trump calling the Ukrainian phone-call investigation a
hoax but says he will cooperate with House investigators. “Well, I will always
cooperate. This is a hoax. This is the greatest hoax. This is just a continuation.”
But the President’s Secretary of State is already resisting letting staffers testify
or hand over documents related to that call, for the President asking to
investigate rival Joe Biden. Andy Field,
ABC News, Washington.

In an exclusive interview, House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi tells ABC News she heard a surprise in President Trump’s voice when
they talked before she launched an impeachment inquiry based on a whistleblower
complaint. “I think the President knows the argument that can be made against
him and he’s scared, and so he’s trying to divert attention from that.” The New
York Times is reporting that former House Intelligence Committee Chair, that,
rather, that House Intelligence
Committee Chair Adam Schiff
learned about the outlines of the whistleblower complaint concerns before any
former complaint was filed.
