4 early takeaways from William Barr’s tense hearing

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/05/01/early-takeaways-william-barrs-tense-hearing/

1) Barr is unrepentant
If you thought Barr might bend to criticism that he had been too favorable to Trump and change his approach, you’d be wrong.

2) Barr explains his allegedly misleading testimony
In addition to the Mueller letter’s rebuke of Barr, it also called into question his past testimony. Barr testified to the House last month — after receiving the letter — and suggested he wasn’t familiar with how the Mueller team perceived his actions.

3) Graham’s misleading preamble
Graham has turned into one of Trump’s most loyal allies on Capitol Hill. And true to form, he started the hearing on a very pro-Trump foot, using a series of misleading statements.

4) Digs at Mueller?
Barr and Mueller are reported to be friends, but one comment in particular suggested there might be some tension between them. When discussing Mueller’s letter and their conversations, Barr suggested Mueller could have headed this whole thing off before it ever happened and failed to.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

Two people have died and four people are hurt after a shooting on UNC Charlotte's campus, Medic confirmed.

Medic said the two deceased were pronounced dead at the scene. Two people have been treated for life-threatening injuries and two have been treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Sources tell NBC Charlotte that students were giving a presentation in a classroom when the shooting occurred. The two dead are reportedly two white males, but their ages and names have not yet been released.

CMPD said the scene is secure and one person is in custody. Police say there is no reason to believe anyone else is involved.
