Former President Donald Trump surrendered to authorities at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia last night to be booked on felony charges in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. In the process, he became the first president to ever have a mug shot taken. The shot of a glowering Trump instantly ricocheted around the internet and became an artifact of American history. “It is what it is,” Trump said in an interview with Newsmax. “I took a mug shot.” The arrest was Trump's fourth since April, but the first one in which a mug shot was taken. After he was booked, fingerprinted and photographed, Trump was released on $200,000 bond. Here's the latest.

The Kremlin denied it was behind the plane crash believed to have killed the Wagner Group's leader.

The Kremlin today denied that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a hit on Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who was believed to be killed in a plane crash Wednesday. Two months to the day after Prigozhin launched a brief armed rebellion against Putin, the mercenary chief and some of his top lieutenants were listed aboard a plane that crashed in the Tver region northwest of Moscow, killing all 10 people aboard. "Nobody for one second thought that this was an accident,” retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, former commander of U.S. Army forces in Europe, told NBC News. A Pentagon spokesman said at a briefing yesterday that Prigozhin was likely killed, but said there's no information to indicate a missile hit the aircraft like some reports suggested. In comments yesterday, Putin referred to Prigozhin in the past tense, saying he was "a man of difficult fate, and he made serious mistakes in life.” Here's the latest.

Tykesha Cross thought her life was "over" and stopped attending classes when she became pregnant with her first child in her senior year of high school. However, her guidance counselor, Yolanda Prim, was soon knocking on her door because she was not about to let Cross give up. Cross persevered to earn a college degree, but hit a rough patch in 2015 when she lost her job. Prim offered her work as a substitute teacher, and it inspired Cross to earn her teacher certification. This month, Prim came from her new home in Texas to surprise her old student on TODAY in Cross' classroom in Arkansas. “You saved my life," an emotional Cross told Prim. "You weren’t just a counselor. Wanting to be you is what pushed and motivated me.” See the heartwarming moment here.
