Opening statements in the trial of a suburban Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Daunte Wright during a traffic stop are expected Wednesday in the same courtroom where another ex-cop was convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd.
Officer Kimberly Potter, 49, faces first- and second-degree manslaughter charges in a homicide her lawyers have suggested resulted from her mistaking her gun for a Taser in April. Potter has pleaded not guilty and faces at least a decade in prison if convicted.

It remains to be seen just how lasting and severe President Donald Trump’s turn against Vladimir Putin will be.

But he’s also given Putin plenty more time – 50 days – before really dropping the hammer with economic punishment.

As President Donald Trump hardens his position toward Moscow and seeks new ways to bring the conflict to an end, he is leaving open the prospect of allowing shipments of longer-range missiles to the country that would allow it to strike deeper into Russia, according to officials familiar with the matter.
