Special counsel Jack Smith released a 165-page document in the 2020 election conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump, arguing that Trump's actions were as a candidate, circumventing Supreme Court protections for presidential actions. Meanwhile, President Biden and Vice President Harris assessed damage from Hurricane Helene in the South, with Biden planning further visits. Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas indicated that FEMA has immediate funding but lacks resources for the entire hurricane season. Biden also stated he wouldn't support an Israeli air strike on Iranian nuclear sites amid G7 discussions on new sanctions against Iran. Additionally, Trump indicated he would veto a federal abortion ban if reelected, asserting the decision should rest with the states.
