In a twist in the Hunter Biden saga, the embattled first son pleads guilty to federal tax evasion charges, sparing the family a lengthy and potentially embarrassing trial.

Judges in two of Trump's four criminal cases may test the bounds of his Supreme Court presidential immunity victory.

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are gearing up for the ABC presidential debate on Tuesday. In a moment, we'll bring in two senators to discuss the stakes, Texas Republican John Cornyn and Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy.

Trump outlines plans for the economy, including raising tariffs, securing the border, and ending the war in Ukraine. He touts his VP pick, Senator J.D. Vance, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suspended his campaign to endorse Trump.

Harris thanks Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz Cheney for their endorsement, calling it an important statement that putting country above party is okay.

The Harris campaign says they're not happy with some of ABC's debate rules, including muted microphones, which it claims will benefit Donald Trump.

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn discusses the upcoming debate and the GOP's fundraising gap, saying that "panic is starting to set in."

Cornyn says that the American people are not undertaxed and that the federal government spends too much.

Cornyn expresses concern about the debt and the fact that the federal government is now spending more money on interest on the national debt than on defense.

Cornyn says that the Biden-Harris administration has dismantled all of the Trump border security policies that produced a far better outcome at the border.

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, a Harris-Walz campaign surrogate, discusses Harris' economic plans and whether she's breaking from President Biden.

Murphy says that the Vice President has rolled out several very important detailed policy proposals, including a massive tax cut for small businesses, a massive investment in housing, and an expansion of the child tax credit.

Murphy says that the contrast between Harris and Trump's economic agendas is striking, with Harris focused on investing in the middle class and Trump focused on tax cuts for the wealthy.

Murphy says that under the Biden-Harris administration, we have seen record job growth, manufacturing booming, and unemployment at a record low.

Murphy says that inflation has come down faster in the United States than in other high-income nations.

Murphy says that the Joint Committee on Taxation's analysis of Harris' corporate tax rate increase is wrong and that raising taxes on billionaires will not ruin the economy.

Former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina and GOP communications consultant Brett O'Donnell offer their advice to Trump and Harris on how to prepare for the debate.

The debate will have no live audience, no opening statements, no props allowed, and candidates' microphones will be muted when their opponent is on the clock, a stipulation that has created controversy in recent days. The two teams are fighting about this.

"USA Today" Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page, Mary Katharine Ham, Juan Williams, and Guy Benson discuss the stakes of the debate and the potential impact of the candidates' economic plans on voters.

The debate could be a game-changer for Harris, who has not debated in four years.

A new "New York Times" poll shows Trump leading Harris by 48 to 47 percent.

Both candidates have rolled out economic plans this week. Goldman Sachs predicts that under a Republican sweep, or even with a divided government led by Donald Trump, economic output would take a hit next year, mostly from increased tariffs on imports and tighter immigration policies.

Harris is trying to cast herself as the challenger and Trump as the incumbent, but a recent poll suggests that people are starting to see Trump as an agent of change.

The economy is better now than it was when Trump was in office, but Republicans continue to argue that it would be even better under Trump.

Anti-Israel protests are starting to pop up again on college campuses as students head back to school.

Police clashed with protesters and made arrests at Columbia University in New York City this week.

Democrats are concerned that anti-Israel protests could hurt the Harris campaign.

Republicans are concerned about anti-Semitism within their own party, pointing to recent comments made by Tucker Carlson.

Thousands of people gathered in the streets of Tel Aviv to demand a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says that Gaza must be demilitarized and that the Philadelphi Corridor must remain under firm control.

A ceasefire is unlikely due to actions on both sides. Hamas has put new conditions on Israel, and Netanyahu has not been willing to make the compromises that the Biden administration wanted him to do.

The Israeli government conducted multiple air strikes against Gaza since Friday, killing at least a dozen people.

Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at Israel, resulting in daily exchanges of fire along the Israel-Lebanon border.

Three Israelis were killed when a gunman crossed from Jordan along Israel's eastern border.
