  Speaker 1: from the Black Effect podcast Network. I Memi Brown. This
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: is front page and here are the day's biggest stories.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Stay with me. And armed man in California is facing
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: charges after investigators say he was found carrying weapons and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: tactical gear at President Trump's golf course just day before
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the president was scheduled to visit. Federal prosecutor say thirty
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: eight year old Jeanine John Tally was arrested Saturday at
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Trump's National Golf Course in Ranchell. Pally's vertice. According to investigators,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: plain clothed FBI agents saw Tally walking around the property
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: taking photos and videos and monitoring what appeared to be
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: security operations.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: That somebody was on the golf course during the security
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: meeting that they had for Trump's arrival and was found
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: with all kinds of weapons.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Deputies say they found a loaded magazine filled with polopoint
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: ammunition in his pocket. A search of his vehicle uncovered
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a loaded handgun with a roundup already chambered, and another
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: loaded magazine. The next day, investigators searched his home, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: they say they found an illegally modified AR style rifle,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: another handgun, body armour, high capacity magazines, thousands of rounds
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of ammunition, radio signal devices, and notebooks containing what authorities
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: describe as concerning statements. The investigation now involves the Los
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and the Secret Service. Authorities say Tally was already under
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department in an unrelated
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: robbery case. Officials have not identified a credible threat to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the public and have not publicly said what they believe
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Tally was intending to do. President Trump was scheduled to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: appear at the golf course Tuesday evening for a Republican
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: National Committee fundraiser. In a case the Trump administration once
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: called vandalism has now completely fallen apart. Federal prosecutors have
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: now dropped every charge connected to alleged damage at the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after newly uncovered evidence suggests that
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the damage may have been caused by a construction problem,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: not vandals. Last week, prosecutors dismissed the felony case against
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Olympian days Hearn, who had been accused of destroying government
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: property and was facing up to ten years in prison.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Court filing say investigators could no longer prove Hern caused
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the damage after new evidence pointed to problems with how
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the pool's protective liner have been installed. Prosecutor cited what
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they described as a botch installation that caused the liner
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to separate from the surface. President Trump is sharply criticizing
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the decision, saying he still believes the reflecting pool was vandalized.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And I was disappointed with Janee Pierro, really disappointed with
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Janeine Pierrot. She folded like an umbrella. No, Janine Piro
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: made a mistake.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: It was vandalism.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: We have photographs or tapes like moving cameras, right, we
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: have them where people are on the side cutting it
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: with a box knife. It's a little hard to say
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: who it exactly was, but it was people cutting this
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: very expensive material, proofing material. Anyway, it looked beautiful, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: then they cut it and they vandalized, and we weren't
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: necessarily thrilled with the contractor, but they did a job
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and they were fixing any problems. But then I got
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: carried away because the judge was extremely unfriendly to Janine,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: and frankly, I think she'd choked.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And now prosecutors have dropped all the remaining misdemeanor cases.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: That means all four defendants are now cleared, and David
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Herne's attorneys say the case cost him his job and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they're considering legal action against the federal government. The contractor
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: responsible for installing the liner has not yet publicly been identified.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And lastly, federal investigators have arrested a third person accused
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of threatening witnesses connected to the investigation into the death
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of Nolan Xavier Wells. According to federal court records, forty
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: year old Edward James Porter is charged with transmitting threatening
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: communications in interstate commerce. Prosecutors say Porter threatened to kill
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a witness and the witness's family before sending the witness
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: their own home address, allegedly to show he knew where
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they lived. He is now the third person charged in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: connection with alleged threats surrounding the case. Last week, authorities
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: arrested a California man accused of sending Judge Ashley Pull
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a Facebook message claiming he had mailed her a package
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that would quote blow you away. And earlier, an Ohio
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: woman was arrested after prosecutors say she repeatedly called a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Mississippi courthouse making a bomb threat tied to the case.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Officials also say Nolan's parents have received numerous threats during
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the investigation, but so far no arrests have been made
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in those cases. Meanwhile, the state Medical Examiner has completed
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Nolan's autopsy, but the findings have not yet been released
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to the public, and attorney Ban Krump says the family
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: still has not been allowed to review the report. No
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: one has been charged in connection to the death of
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Nolan Wells. We will continue to follow the investigation. That's
