On today's Midday Report with host Terry Haines:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski deflects when asked how she'll vote on President Trump's pick for attorney general. The Trump Administration is again threatening cuts to the federal Essential Air Service program, which provides funding for flights to and from rural Alaska. And firefighters are battling a wildland fire that broke out north of Haines over the weekend.
