Spokesperson Ian Sams says Biden was voluntarily interviewed at the White House on Sunday and Monday. The investigation is being led by special counsel Robert Hur, who is looking into the improper retention of classified documents from Biden's time as vice president. The documents were found in his Delaware home and a private office he used after he left public office. Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this year appointed Hur to oversee the politically sensitive matter to avoid conflicts of interest.Nation &amp; WorldIsrael has bombarded downtown Gaza City and expanded a massive mobilization of reservists, vowing punishing retaliation against the Hamas militant group that increasingly left residents of the tiny Palestinian territory with nowhere to go. Four days after militants stormed into Israel, bringing gunbattles to its streets for the first time in decades, Israel's military said Tuesday morning that it had regained effective control over its south and the border. The war has already claimed at least 1,600 hundred lives on both sides. Israel has also said that Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza are also holding more than 150 soldiers and civilians hostage.Nation &amp; WorldTens of thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are packed into U.N. shelters as Israeli warplanes pound the tiny territory of 2.3 million people after their Hamas militant rulers launched an unprecedented attack on Israel. Israel says it takes pains to avoid civilian casualties as it targets Hamas sites. But its military has also bombed multi-story family homes in crowded residential neighborhoods. Palestinians say there is no real escape in Gaza, which has been under a suffocating 16-year blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. When war breaks out, as it has four times since Hamas seized power in 2007, even U.N. facilities that are supposed to be safe zones risk becoming engulfed in the fighting.The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.73 billion after no one matched the game’s six numbers and won the giant prize. The winning numbers announced Monday night are: 16, 34, 46, 55, 67 and the Powerball 14. There has been no winner for 35 consecutive drawings. The scarcity of Powerball jackpot winners reflects the game’s long odds of 1 in 292.2 million. The $1.73 billion prize is for a sole winner who is paid through an annuity, with annual checks over 30 years. Most jackpot winners opt for cash, which for the next drawing Wednesday night would be an estimated $756.6 million.Government-politicsPresident Joe Biden’s second attempt at student loan cancellation is moving forward as a group of negotiators meets to debate what a new proposal might look like. In a process known as negotiated rulemaking, 14 people chosen by the Biden administration will meet Tuesday for the first of three hearings on student loan relief. Their goal is to guide the Education Department toward a proposal after the Supreme Court rejected Biden’s first plan in June. The negotiators all come from outside the federal government and represent a range of viewpoints on student loans.Nation &amp; WorldEvidence shown at former President Donald Trump's New York civil business fraud trial shows that he signed a 1994 document that gave the true size of the New York penthouse that was listed later as far larger on his financial statements. The evidence appeared in an email attachment shown during testimony Tuesday from Allen Weisselberg, the former finance chief of Trump’s company. James’ lawsuit alleges that Weisselberg engineered Trump’s financial statements to meet his demands that they show increases in his net worth and signed off on lofty valuations for assets despite appraisals to the contrary. Trump denies any wrongdoing.Government-politicsRepublicans have no clear idea who will be U.S. House speaker, leaving an unprecedented power vacuum in Congress. The Republicans met Monday evening at the Capitol as anger spilled out, with no clear path forward. The vacancy severely limits America’s ability to quickly respond to the crisis in Israel. The ousted former speaker, Kevin McCarthy, has quickly jumped into the void, positioning himself as a de facto Republican leader. But it’s not at all clear if McCarthy could seriously make a comeback — or if one of the other Republicans seeking the gavel, Steve Scalise or Jim Jordan, can be elected speaker as their majority stumbles into infighting.BusinessGeneral Motors and the union representing Canadian auto workers have reached a tentative contract agreement, ending a strike that began just after midnight. About 4,300 striking workers at two GM factories and a parts warehouse will return to work Tuesday afternoon and will vote on the three-year deal later. Lana Payne, president of the Unifor union, said in a statement that, when faced with the strike, GM had no choice but to follow a pattern agreement reached earlier with Ford. GM said it reached the three-year agreement around 1 p.m. Tuesday after workers went on strike at the Ontario facilities. GM said the deal recognizes employee contributions with significant pay and benefit increases and additional job security.Nation &amp; WorldProsecutors seeking a conviction of two Colorado police officers in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain have implored a jury during closing arguments to remember that he was just trying to walk home on the night of the fatal encounter. McClain was put in a neck hold and and pinned down by officers before paramedics injected him with a powerful sedative. Witnesses testified that an overdose of the sedative killed McClain. But prosecutors say his restraint by officers triggered a series of health problems that made it hard for McClain to breathe and more vulnerable to a fatal overdose. Defense attorneys countered Tuesday that the officers had no choice but to subdue McClain after he resisted them.Three teams are one win from the World Series heading into Monday’s playoff doubleheader. First, the Philadelphia Phillies look to close out Arizona at home when they send Aaron Nola to the mound with a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven NL Championship Series. Then it’s a decisive Game 7 in the ALCS as three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and the Texas Rangers face Cristian Javier and the defending champion Astros in Houston. Road teams are unbeaten in this Lone Star State showdown, only the second time in baseball history the home side has dropped the first six games in a best-of-seven postseason series.ProfessionalRobert Spillane intercepted Green Bay’s Jordan Love twice, Amik Robertson made a game-sealing pick in the end zone, and the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Packers 17-13 to stop a three-game skid. The Raiders’ offense did just enough, with Jimmy Garoppolo completing 22 of 31 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown while throwing his NFL-high seventh interception. Jakobi Meyers caught seven passes for 75 yards and a TD. Love was 16 of 30 for 182 yards and the three picks. Both offenses struggled. The Raiders gained 279 yards and the Packers finished with 285. Las Vegas ended an eight-game skid against the Packers.***$100 billionThat’s how much the federal government could collect this year in student loan payments, according to a recent report. This month marks the first time in more than three years that federal student loan borrowers will be required to make monthly repayments after the Biden administration ended its pandemic-related pause.***Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | Omny Studio“Together we were able to accomplish what many said was impossible only six months ago.”— Meredith Stiehm, President of the Writers Guild of America West, issuing a statement on Monday after the WGA ratified its new contract with Hollywood and TV studios.
