Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort tried to convince witnesses in his criminal case to lie about the extent of his work with Ukrainian political interests, federal prosecutors alleged in a court filing late Monday.

The historic summit with North Korea is back on, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Friday just minutes after meeting with Kim Jong Un’s emissary at the White House. The much-anticipated event will take place June 12 in Singapore, as originally planned. “We’re going to deal,” Trump told reporters after sitting down with Kim Yong Chol, North Korea’s former intelligence chief. Kim is the highest-ranking North Korean official to visit the United States in 18 years. He first met with U.S.

An Iowa judge on Friday temporarily blocked the state’s new “heartbeat bill” from going into effect, halting protections for unborn babies that would begin as soon as doctors can detect a heartbeat. Judge Michael Huppert said he would formally issue a temporary injunction later Friday. The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and the Emma Goldman Clinic sued to stop the law, which provides the earliest protections in the country for unborn babies.

Spain’s socialist opposition leader is set to become the country’s new prime minister after sponsoring a no-confidence vote that ousted Mariano Rajoy’s conservative government. Pedro Sanchez, the Socialist Party’s 46-year-old leader, managed a historic feat: unseating a serving leader for the first time in Spain’s four decades of democracy. Unlike the populist parties roiling Italian politics, Sanchez supports the European Union and the eurozone’s shared currency. Rajoy led Spain for six years.

Hawaiian officials issued mandatory evacuation orders Thursday for two coastal neighborhoods hit hardest by molten lava flowing from the Big Island’s Kilauea volcano. The fissures that began appearing in the Leilani Estates neighborhood about a month ago now total 24.

President Donald Trump got mixed reviews Thursday after meeting with families of the students and teachers shot earlier this month at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas.

The Scripps National Spelling Bee’s new wildcard system paid off for Thursday’s winner, 14-year-old Karthik Nemmani of McKinney, Texas. Nemmani was one of 515 participants who came to the prestigious competition through the RSVBee system, designed to give spellers from especially competitive regions a better chance to participate. Nemmani beat out 12-year-old Naysa Modi from Frisco, Texas, who bested him in their county-level meet. “I didn’t really think I’d be able to do it,” the soft-spoken winner said.
