[Music] good morning I'm Taylor Wilson and today is Thursday August 29th 2024 this is the excerpt today what happened with Donald Trump at Arlington National Cemetery plus the CEO of telegram has been arrested and charged in France and the Supreme Court rejects the Biden administration's request to allow a student debt relief plan to remain in effect we're learning more about an incident at Arlington National Cemetery this week involving Donald Trump after the former president's team turned his gravide visit into a video slamming the Biden Harris Administration the visit has angered veterans former Army under secretary and former Pennsylvania Representative Patrick Murphy said the Trump campaign's insistence on using the setting to shoot campaign material is a new low and Fred Wellman a 22-year army combat veteran said that Trump quote has no right to use our most Hallowed Ground for his political aims unquote so what exactly happened here I spoke with USA Today Trump campaign reporter Zach Anderson for more Zach thanks for hopping on glad to be here so Zach what happened this week with Donald Trump at arlingon National Cemetery so it's a pretty unusual incident there was a report of an altercation between the Trump campaign staff and an official at the cemetery that they filed a report with a local police agency apparently according to the statement from the cemetery they confirmed that there was an incident and they cited a law that said that a campaign cannot film in certain parts of the cemetery an area known as section 60 where newly buried Graves of American servicemen are so the cemetery it sounds like somebody at the cemetery tried to stop the Trump campaign from from filming there and there was an altercation although the Trump campaign is denying that there was a physical altercation in the way that was described by somebody to NPR and why was Trump at the cemetery in the first place act so he was there for a wreath Lane ceremony to honor 13 American Service members who were killed in a well publicized event in Afghanistan during the troop withdrawal there was an attack on service members at Abby gate near the airport in Cabell and so he was there for that event and this is when that happened you touched on this a bit but have we heard from either the cemetery officials or Trump campaign officials following this incident so the cemetery just put out a statement confirming that there was an incident and that a report had been filed I talked to a police agency who said that they got a report from the cemetery but they refused to release it at this time I have to request a as a public public record they basically said that at this point no charges have been filed the Trump campaign they also confirmed there was some type of incident they said that somebody tried to physically block somebody with their campaign from part of the cemetery but they deny that it was sort of a physical assault as described by an individual to NPR and Zach are we hearing from veterans or say family members of those buried at Arlington speaking out here some of the family members of those who were killed have voiced support for the Trump campaign filming there the Trump campaign put out some statements from some of the family members who said that they were happy to have the campaign there the statement was from five family members representing two of the 13 people who were killed there's been some response from various veterans and Veterans groups expressing concerns about what happened here one individual even told USA Today that it was nauseating that what happened was disrespectful to the people who were buried there Zach Anderson covers Donald Trump and Republicans for USA Today thank you Zach hey thanks a lot there continued to be reverberations and while USA Today has asked Arlington if they will file an official Complaint with federal agencies we've yet to hear a [Music] response telegram CEO pavl durov has been charged and put under formal investigation in France as part of a probe into organized crime on the messaging app a Paris prosecutor said in a statement that the judge found there were grounds to formally investigate him on all the charges he was arrested for on Saturday those charges include suspected complicity and running an online platform that allows illicit transactions images of child sex abuse drug trafficking and fraud and the refusal to communicate information to authorities along with money laundering and giving cryptography to criminals du Rob's arrest has sparked a free speech debate telegram has some 1 billion users and is used for a variety of messaging more than just criminal activity the app allows encrypted messages that cannot be traced or viewed by others in the US extremist groups particularly on the far right have flocked to the app as traditional social media sites ramped up their content [Music] moderation the Supreme Court yesterday rejected the Biden administration's request to allow a student debt relief plan to remain in effect while its legality is challenged by republican-led States so what's this mean for an issue Weighing on millions of Americans I spoke with USA Today Supreme Court correspondent maren grappy to learn more maren thanks for hopping on thanks for having me so maren what did the Supreme Court decide here over Biden's student debt relief plan well the court left Biden's debt relief plan on hold as it's being challenged by Republican Le States a lower court had agreed with those states that the plan should be paused during the litigation and the Biden administration had asked the Supreme Court to overturn that decision and the court did not yes so what exactly led up to this moment in the courts well this is a continuation of the legal battles that started when the administration first tried to ease student debt burdens the Supreme Court struck down that first plan last year so the administration came up with a new approach the court last year said that the administration had overstepped its Authority with the first plan and the challengers of the latest plan are making similar argument and for folks who aren't familiar maybe with this plan what does it really mean practically for Americans Marine can you help us understand what's at stake here sure it could lower monthly payments for millions of Americans and it does that in part by modifying how the government calculates your income to determine how much you have to pay it also says the interest owed can't be more than the monthly payment and it lets those with no more than $12,000 in debt have their debt forgiven after a decade and going forward what's next do we expect an appeals process say on this while the underlying challenge to the plan continues in the lower courts once one of the appeals courts that have been hearing those challenges rules on the legality of the plan then the losing side can appeal that decision to the Supreme Court since an appeals court has already put the plan on hold during the litigation that's a good indication that they are going to end up siding with the challengers on the merits of the case and then the education department can ask the Supreme Court to review that decision but if there's a change in the administration after after the November election the new Administration may not want to continue to defend the program all right great insight as always Marine grappy covers the Supreme Court for USA Today thank you Marin thank [Music] you two foreigners from Romania and Serbia have
