A federal grand jury has indicted former President Donald Trump on seven criminal charges in connection with his mishandling of more than 100 classified documents that were discovered last year at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. He is the first former president to face federal charges. Trump said last night on his social media platform that his attorneys were informed that he had been indicted "seemingly over the Boxes Hoax." His indictment was confirmed to NBC News by two sources familiar with the matter. The sources said the charges include false statements and conspiracy to obstruct. This is the second indictment against Trump since he left office. In April, he was charged in Manhattan with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. James Trusty, a member of Trump's legal team, joined TODAY this morning to weigh in the indictment. Here's the very latest. |

Jeff Bolle was in the middle of his fourth round of a six-week schedule of chemotherapy for stage 4 bile duct cancer last month when he was given worrisome news. A nationwide shortage of the chemotherapy drug cisplatin, as well as other drugs, meant the high school football coach and guidance counselor from Milwaukee had to halt his treatment. FDA officials said the reason for the shortage is that there's little profit in making these drugs, so they are now allowing imports from China. Rolle, 60, and his wife hope to bring attention to the issue to help other patients waiting desperately for treatment. "I hope I get it for myself, but we also need to try and get it for other people," he told TODAY.com. Read the full story. |

A woman from Connecticut is showing what happens to the house when Mom decides to go on strike. Lindsay Donnelly, 33, shared a TikTok video of the aftermath when her grumpy husband accused her of "doing nothing around the house." In response, she refused to make any beds or wash any dishes before going away for a girls weekend. Her video shows laundry piled up on the couch, the dining room table covered with dirty plates, toys and mail, and towels strewn on the bathroom floor. "Somebody commented on my video that this is how you make invisible labor visible," Lindsay told TODAY.com. "I'm constantly tidying — I'm picking up shoes, I'm doing all these things that go unnoticed but add up to a lot." Her husband apologized in a follow-up video. See the videos here. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Twins Becca Lawrence and Tina Keefer, 23, do everything together — including having babies. The sisters each welcomed children only hours apart on May 25 at WellSpan Gettysburg Hospital in Pennsylvania. Becca (above, left) had daughter Raylnn in the morning and, hours later, Tina gave birth to son Xavian that afternoon. Tina actually went into labor while watching Becca be induced, and then Becca was by Tina's bedside when Tina became a first-time mom. "No way was I going to miss it!" Becca told us.
