WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris opened a media blitz by the Democratic ticket on Sunday by appearing on the popular “Call Her Daddy” podcast about abortion, sexual abuse and other issues that resonate with women, working in some digs at her GOP opponent along the way.

In the roughly 40-minute interview, taped last week, the Democratic presidential nominee spoke about the grit it takes to be a woman seeking public office, the toughness her mother instilled in her and the importance of reproductive rights in this election.

The program is the most-listened-to podcast for women and it has millions of fans tuning in for talk about relationships, sex, mental health and women’s empowerment. The discussion with Harris was on the tame side for the show, with the vice president keeping her message focused, in part, on the value of ignoring people who have doubted her.

“I don’t hear no. I urge all the ‘Daddy Gang,’ don’t hear no, just don’t hear it,” she said. “I think it’s really important not to let other people define you.”

The interview was part of a broader media outreach effort by&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/kamala-harris">Harris</a>&nbsp;and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as the Democrats seek to boost their support in the final 30 days of the campaign against Republicans&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/jd-vance">JD Vance</a>.

Harris has been criticized for not doing more media interviews.

On the podcast, the Democratic nominee largely stuck to her usual messaging on abortion, and said that in her travels she's seen that even people who have strong opposition to abortion tell her they “are now seeing what’s happening and saying ‘Hmm, I didn’t intend for all this to happen' ” when they see the health problems arising since Roe v. Wade was repealed.

Harris dinged Trump as she has in recent speeches, leaning in on his integrity and saying “this guy is full of lies” when he talks about abortion and other issues. She dismissed Vance’s comments about “childless cat ladies” as “mean, and mean-spirited.”

Trump has continued to stress that abortion policy should be left to the states and that doctors have a duty to provide emergency care to women whose lives are in danger. Vance, for his part, has said his remark about childless women were misinterpreted and that he wants to support families.

There's much more to come from Harris and Walz.

Harris has taped an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” that will air Monday night. She is booked Tuesday on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show, ABC’s “The View” and “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert on CBS. Walz will be on Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC show on Monday.

In a “60 Minutes” excerpt released Sunday, Harris navigated around a question about whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “a real close ally,” saying that “The better question is: Do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people? And the answer to that question is yes.”

And nearly a week after his verbal stumbles in the only&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/debate-takeaways-vance-walz-harris-trump-5b6f219b555416ff579764048ac238a1">vice presidential debate</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/tim-walz">Walz</a>&nbsp;used his debut campaign appearance on a Sunday news show to try to fend off criticism of his stand on abortion rights and to “own up” to past misstatements.

Walz's Fox appearance also touched on the turmoil in the Middle East, with anchor Shannon Bream pressing the Minnesota governor on whether Israel has a right to preemptively attack&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-israel-iran-hezbollah-nuclear-sites-846c8779b2b95a3bebcf955c4e69cf6c">Iran's nuclear and oil facilities</a>&nbsp;in response to Tehran's firing of missiles against Israel. It was a question that Walz did not fully answer during his debate this past week with Vance, an Ohio senator.

Walz said Sunday that “specific operations will be dealt with at the time” and he spoke of ”consequences for what they do."

He said Israel has a right to defend itself and that Harris worked with Israel this past week to repel the Iranian attack.&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/joe-biden">President Joe Biden</a>&nbsp;said last week he would not support an Israeli strike on sites related to Tehran’s&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/iran-nuclear-natanz-uranium-enrichment-underground-project-04dae673fc937af04e62b65dd78db2e0">nuclear program.</a>

Walz defended a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/abortion-politics-minnesota-state-government-timothy-walz-11c3b1d5269c929e442b979ff1bac73b">law that he signed as governor</a>&nbsp;to ensure abortion protections, saying it "puts the decision with the woman and her health care providers.”

Trump has said he would not sign a national abortion ban into law, and during the interview Sunday, Walz was asked whether he was calling that “a flat-out lie.”

Walz also faced questions in the interview about misstatements related to his military service, drunken driving arrest, infertility treatment for his family and claims to have been in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in China.

“I will own up when I misspeak,” Walz said. “I will own up when I make a mistake.”

He said he believes voters are more concerned by the fact that Vance could not acknowledge during their debate that Trump lost the 2020 election to Biden and that there could be restrictions on the infertility treatments, like the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/tim-walz-ivf-fertility-jd-vance-fc5ebf8f37adb28cf45d0af51224a938">intrauterine insemination</a>&nbsp;that his wife, Gwen, received.

“I think they’re probably far more concerned with that than my wife and I used IUI to have our child and that Donald Trump would restrict that," Walz said. "So I think folks know who I am.”

Bream noted that Trump has come out in support of fertility treatments, even as he has said that abortion questions should be decided by states.

Saline County Jail Bookings, Oct. 5

Great music from the Salina Central Jazz Combo greeted guests at the Salina Country Club on September 19 as they gathered for the Salina Education Foundation Fall Breakfast. Guests heard information about grant projects from students and teachers from Salina South, Cottonwood Elementary, and Salina Central.

Kingston Montgomery and MJ White, both students at South High School, attended the event with Elizabeth Burke, South High School’s Library Media Specialist. South High School has the distinct honor of hosting a visit this month from author Meg Medina, the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. 

The grant they received has helped provide additional books for the Cougar Common Read. Each student at Salina South received a copy of Meg Medina’s book for all to read and participate in activities throughout September and October. Kingston and MJ highlighted the significant impact this grant has had on our school community.&nbsp;

“This one grant built so many connections throughout our school," Kingston said.

“When students are given the opportunity to discuss topics that resonate with their own experiences, it can diminish the fear of stigma and rejection. It is also inspiring to witness a character like Piddy from the novel navigate challenges through support and accountability," MJ said.&nbsp;

Cottonwood Elementary students were on hand with their teachers Tessa Yungeberg and Pam Hodson to speak about their partnership with residents at Presbyterian Manor. Last spring, 3rd graders interviewed residents at Presbyterian Manor to write essays and create presentations on the history of their interview partners. 

This intergenerational collaboration fostered personal and academic growth for the students, and relationships developed from this beautiful experience. Students Imogen, Raegan, and Isabella spoke about their experiences interviewing and preparing for their presentations. Barbara King and Amy Kennedy from Presbyterian Manor also talked about their perspectives and the beautiful relationships formed with the students. SEF is proud to have been a part of this wonderful experience for both Cottonwood students and the residents at Presbyterian Manor!

The third grant featured at the Fall Breakfast was from Salina Central. Guillermo Rodriguez and his Jazz Combo students helped to demonstrate the Yamaha HD-300 Harmony Director. It is a valuable tool for music educators that offers powerful ear training and makes class time more efficient. Guests not only got to hear great music from the Salina Central Jazz Combo but also were treated to the live demonstration.&nbsp;

Salina Education Foundation’s Executive Director, Kate Lindsay, thanked the donors and business sponsors. The presentations helped to demonstrate how the SEF grants help to create partnerships with the community and parents. The three highlighted grants were only a sampling of the many great projects in USD 305.

"These opportunities and experiences happen only because of the kind generosity of Salina Education Foundation donors," Linsay said.&nbsp;

The annual breakfast honors donors to the foundation and shares the work their donations make possible. Salina Education Foundation’s grants and scholarships are funded through the generosity of donors from the community, including USD 305 Teachers &amp; Staff, Business Partners, Charitable Foundations, and individuals committed to providing enhanced educational experiences for students.

Salina Education Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of trustees. Established in 1987, it endeavors to promote and support educational excellence by providing resources to enhance opportunities for the students and staff of Salina’s public schools.

Saline County Jail Bookings, Oct. 4

SEDGWICK COUNTY –A striking worker is facing charges after an arrest while walking the picket line in Wichita.

On Wednesday, Wichita Police Officers were working a special&nbsp; assignment related to the strike activity at Textron Aviation as they have been since the strike began. Officers warned a 64-year-old Nevin Tucker of Wichita two times that morning about her conduct being a violation of a Wichita City Ordinance which prohibits impeding the free flow of traffic on any public street and is a misdemeanor, according to Wichita Police Captain Aaron Moses.

Tucker, as identified by county booking records, again engaged in conduct that violated City of Wichita Ordinance and was arrested.

Prior to the strike, Wichita Police met with union leadership and Textron management to begin planning to maintain safety and order in our community.

In this instance, a specific individual refused to comply with City Ordinance after being educated at least two times regarding illegal conduct that caused a hazard to the public by quickly stepping into the roadway in front of vehicles. 

Wichita Police work to&nbsp; ensure the safety of everyone, including strikers, and preserving order in our community which includes enforcing the city code. During past strikes, there have been incidents of motor vehicle collisions causing death. Additionally, during this strike police have responded to collisions caused by strike activity.

Throughout the strike, police employees and commanders have continued to meet with strike leadership to ensure everyone is aware of applicable City of Wichita Ordinances.

Wichita Police will continue to ensure the safety of strikers, and the general public.

CHICAGO (AP) — Melania Trump revealed her support for abortion rights Thursday ahead of the release of her upcoming memoir, exposing a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-harris-issue-positions-worlds-apart-3f80a342c790da64e3de92a4f5760991">stark contrast with her husband</a>, Republican presidential nominee&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>, on the crucial election issue.

<a href="https://x.com/MELANIATRUMP/status/1841806743216537870">In a video</a>&nbsp;posted to her X account Thursday morning, the former first lady defended women's “individual freedoms” to do what they want with their bodies — a position at odds with much of the Republican Party and her own husband, who has&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/abortion-trump-harris-contraception-debate-vance-2f11a66ab4619fcb3d9917ee51a9c060">struggled to find a consistent message</a>&nbsp;on abortion while&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-harris-vance-walz-debate-2024-election-abortion-64c739e99ffa1ad51b973e420e1fe92d">wedged between</a>&nbsp;anti-abortion supporters within his base and the majority of Americans who support abortion rights.

“Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard,” Melania Trump said in the video. “Without a doubt, there is no room for compromise when it comes to this essential right that all women possess from birth: individual freedom. What does ‘my body, my choice’ really mean?”

The video appears to confirm excerpts of her self-titled memoir&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/02/melania-trump-memoir-defends-abortion-rights">reported</a>&nbsp;by The Guardian on Wednesday.

Melania Trump has rarely publicly expressed her personal political views and has been largely absent from the campaign trail. But in her memoir, set to be released publicly next Tuesday, she argues that the decision to end a pregnancy should be left to a woman and her doctor, “free from any intervention of pressure from the government,” according to the published excerpts.

“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body?” she wrote, according to The Guardian. “A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”

Melania Trump writes that she has “carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.”

These views contrast sharply with the GOP's anti-abortion platform and with Donald Trump, who has repeatedly taken credit for appointing the three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade and boasted about returning the abortion question to the states. Democrats have blamed the former president for the severe deterioration of reproductive rights as abortion bans were implemented in large swaths of the country following the overturning of the landmark case, which had granted a constitutional right to abortion.

Donald Trump said Thursday that he had talked to his wife about the book and told her to “go with your heart.”

“We spoke about it. And I said, you have to write what you believe. I’m not going to tell you what to do. You have to write what you believe,” he told Fox News, adding, “There are some people that are very, very far right on the issue, meaning without exceptions, and then there are other people that view it a little bit differently than that.”

Vice President&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/kamala-harris">Kamala Harris</a>&nbsp;' campaign noted Trump's role in ending Roe v. Wade in a statement reacting to Melania Trump's defense of abortion rights.

“Sadly for the women across America, Mrs. Trump’s husband firmly disagrees with her and is the reason that more than one in three American women live under a Trump Abortion Ban that threatens their health, their freedom, and their lives,” Harris campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in a statement. “Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear: If he wins in November, he will ban abortion nationwide, punish women, and restrict women’s access to reproductive health care."

Donald Trump on Tuesday&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-harris-vance-walz-debate-2024-election-abortion-64c739e99ffa1ad51b973e420e1fe92d">said he would veto</a>&nbsp;a federal abortion ban, the first time he has explicitly said so after previously&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/abortion-trump-harris-contraception-debate-vance-2f11a66ab4619fcb3d9917ee51a9c060">refusing to answer questions</a>&nbsp;on the subject. Abortion rights advocates are skeptical, however, saying Trump cannot be trusted not to restrict reproductive rights.

Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said the memoir is another example of “the Trumps playing voters like a fiddle.”

“As president, (Trump) made it his mission to get Roe v. Wade overturned,” she said in a statement. “Melania stood by him, never once publicly disavowing his actions until weeks before an election where our bodies are again on the ballot and they are losing voters to this issue. Read between the lines.”

Democratic strategist Brittany Crampsie called the memoir's release a “clear attempt to appeal to more moderate voters and to moderate JD Vance’s very clearly extreme views on the issue." But she was skeptical that the move would work in favor of Trump, saying his shifting views “have already confused voters and sowed distrust.”

Melania Trump also defends abortions later in pregnancy, asserting that “most abortions conducted during the later stages of pregnancy were the result of severe fetal abnormalities that probably would have led to the death or stillbirth of the child. Perhaps even the death of the mother."

“These cases were extremely rare and typically occurred after several consultations between the woman and her doctor,” she writes.

These views appear diametrically opposed to her husband, who has often parroted misinformation about abortions later in pregnancy, falsely claiming that Democrats support abortion “after birth,” though infanticide is outlawed in every state.

The national abortion group SBA Pro-Life America denounced the former first lady’s views on abortion, including her comments on abortion later in pregnancy, but said their “priority is to defeat Kamala Harris.”

“Women with unplanned pregnancies are crying out for more resources, not more abortions,” the organization’s president Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. “We must have compassion for them and for babies in the womb who suffer from brutal abortions.”

Mary Ruth Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California, Davis School of Law who focuses on reproductive rights law and history, said it is unclear if the memoir’s release so close to the election was an attempt to help Donald Trump. But she did note that Melania Trump's split from Trump on the issue is not uncommon historically.

There is “a pretty deep history of first ladies being more supportive of abortion rights than their husbands,” including Betty Ford, a vocal abortion rights supporter and the wife of former President Gerald Ford, Ziegler said.

Donald Trump promoted his wife's book at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9fGfm56TyA">a September rally in New York</a>, calling on supporters to “go out and get her book.” It is unclear if the former president has read the book.

“Go out and buy it,” he told the crowd. “It’s great. And if she says bad things about me, I’ll call you all up, and I’ll say, ‘Don’t buy it.’”

🎥In new video Melania Trump explains her support for abortion rights

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman who says she worked as a hair-and-makeup stylist for&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/garth-brooks">Garth Brooks</a>&nbsp;alleged in a lawsuit filed Thursday that he raped her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2019.

The woman does not use her name and goes by Jane Roe in the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. Brooks forcefully denied the allegations in a statement and acknowledged he tried to get a court to stop Thursday's lawsuit from being filed.

The woman says in the lawsuit she had worked for Brooks' wife, country singer&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/trisha-yearwood">Trisha Yearwood</a>, since 1999, and had started also working for Brooks in 2017.

She said the assault occurred when she traveled from Nashville to Los Angeles with Brooks, who was performing with soul singer Sam Moore at a Grammy Awards tribute to Moore in October 2019.

Brooks normally traveled with an entourage, but the two were alone on his private jet, and he booked just one hotel suite for both of them, the lawsuit says.

The woman alleges that in the suite, he appeared naked in the doorway to the bedroom and raped her.

The suit says that he then proceeded as though nothing had happened and expected her to do his hair and makeup immediately after.

The woman's lawsuit alleges that earlier in 2019, when she was at Brooks' home, he had appeared naked in front of her, grabbed her hands, and put them on his genitals.

Brooks filed a preemptive lawsuit in federal court in Mississippi last month, in which both him and the woman are anonymous.

In court filings in that case, the plaintiff, going by John Doe, says the allegations are “wholly untrue,” and he first learned of them in July when she threatened to publicly sue him unless he gave her millions of dollars.

He asked a judge to stop the woman from “intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy.”

“For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars,” Brooks’ statement said. “It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face."

Brooks said he filed the case anonymously “for the sake of families on both sides.”

“I trust the system, I do not fear the truth, and I am not the man they have painted me to be," his statement concluded.

The woman's suit also says Brooks exposed himself to her many other times and talked about sexual fantasies with her and sent her explicit text messages.

She said she was forced to keep working for Brooks because of financial hardship, which he knew about and took advantage of.

An email to the woman's attorney asking whether she had reported her allegations to police was not immediately answered.

The 62-year-old Oklahoma-born Brooks was the biggest star in country music of the 1990s, with hits including “Friends in Low Places" and “The Thunder Rolls.” He brought arena-rock theatrics to his concerts and a pop-music sensibility to his recordings. He had huge success that went beyond typical country audiences.

He married fellow country star Yearwood in 2005. There was no immediate response to a message to a Yearwood representative seeking comment on the lawsuit.

Saline County Jail Bookings, Oct. 3

WASHINGTON (AP) —&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>&nbsp;laid the groundwork to try to overturn the 2020 election even before he lost, knowingly pushed false claims of voter fraud and “resorted to crimes” in his failed bid to cling to power, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25182568-usa-v-trump-unsealed-govt-immunity-motion-1022024">a court filing</a>&nbsp;unsealed Wednesday that offers new evidence from the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-indicted-jan-6-investigation-special-counsel-debb59bb7a4d9f93f7e2dace01feccdc">landmark criminal case</a>&nbsp;against the former president.

The filing from special counsel Jack Smith's team offers the most comprehensive view to date of what prosecutors intend to prove if the case charging Trump with conspiring to overturn the election reaches trial.&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-impeachment-vote-capitol-siege-0a6f2a348a6e43f27d5e1dc486027860">Although a months-long congressional investigation</a>&nbsp;and the indictment itself have chronicled in stark detail Trump's efforts to undo the election, the filing cites previously unknown accounts offered by Trump's closest aides to paint a portrait of an “increasingly desperate” president who, while losing his grip on the White House, “used deceit to target every stage of the electoral process.”

“So what?” the filing quotes Trump as telling an aide after being advised that his vice president, Mike Pence, had been rushed to a secure location after a crowd of violent Trump supporters stormed the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/projects/january-6-cases/">U.S. Capitol</a>&nbsp;on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to prevent the counting of electoral votes.

“The details don't matter,” Trump said, when told by an adviser that a lawyer who was mounting his legal challenges wouldn’t be able to prove the false allegations in court, the filing states.

The brief was made public over the Trump legal team’s objections in the final month of a closely contested presidential race in which Democrats have sought to make Trump’s refusal to accept the election results four years ago central to their claims that he is unfit for office. The issue flared as recently as Tuesday night’s&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/vance-walz-vice-presidential-debate-election-66ff2e5e45a8dda55b0a2242fc238fdc">vice presidential debate</a>&nbsp;when Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, lamented the violence at the Capitol while a Republican opponent, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, refused to directly answer when asked whether Trump had lost the 2020 race.

The filing was submitted, initially under seal, following a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-trump-capitol-riot-immunity-2dc0d1c2368d404adc0054151490f542">Supreme Court opinion</a>&nbsp;that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office, a decision that narrowed the scope of the prosecution and eliminated the possibility of a trial before next month's election.

The purpose of the brief is to persuade U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan that the offenses charged in the indictment were undertaken in Trump's private, rather than presidential, capacity and can therefore remain part of the case as it moves forward. Chutkan permitted a redacted version to be made public,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-justice-department-jan-6-jack-smith-f29a81ddd995b15afe95fcc00e928465">even though Trump's lawyers argued</a>&nbsp;that it was unfair to unseal it so close to the election.

Though the prospects of a trial are uncertain, particularly if Trump wins the presidency and a new attorney general seeks the dismissal of the case, the brief nonetheless functions as a roadmap for the testimony and evidence prosecutors would elicit before a jury. It is now up to Chutkan to decide which of Trump's acts are official conduct for which Trump is immune from prosecution and which are, in the words of Smith's team, “private crimes” on which the case can proceed.

“Although the defendant was the incumbent President during the charged conspiracies, his scheme was fundamentally a private one,” Smith’s team wrote, adding, “When the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office.”

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung called the brief “falsehood-ridden” and “unconstitutional” and repeated oft-stated allegations that Smith and Democrats were “hell-bent on weaponizing the Justice Department." Trump, in a separate post on his Truth Social platform, said the case would end with his “complete victory.”

The filing alleges that Trump “laid the groundwork” for rejecting the election results before the contest was over, telling advisers that in the event he held an early lead he would “declare victory before the ballots were counted and any winner was projected.”

Immediately after the election, prosecutors say, his advisers sought to sow chaos in the counting of votes. In one instance, a campaign employee described as a Trump co-conspirator was told that results favoring Democrat Joe Biden at a Michigan polling center appeared accurate. The person is alleged to have replied: “find a reason it isnt” and “give me options to file litigation.”

Prosecutors also alleged that Trump advanced claims of fraud despite knowing they were false, recounting how he conceded to others that allegations of election irregularities made by attorney Sidney Powell were “crazy” and referenced the science fiction series “Star Trek.” Even so, days later, he promoted on Twitter a lawsuit she was about to file.

In demonstrating his apparent indifference to the accuracy of the election fraud claims, prosecutors also cite an account of a White House staffer who after the election overheard Trump telling his wife, daughter and son-in-law on Marine One: “It doesn’t matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.”

The filing also includes details of conversations between Trump and Pence, including a private lunch on Nov. 12, 2020, in which Pence “reiterated a face-saving option” for Trump, telling him, “Don’t concede but recognize the process is over.”

In another lunch days later, Pence urged Trump to accept the election results and run again in 2024.

“I don’t know, 2024 is so far off,” Trump told him, the filing states.

Prosecutors say that by Dec. 5, the defendant was starting to think about Congress’ role in the process.

“For the first time, he mentioned to Pence the possibility of challenging the election results in the House of Representatives,” it says, citing a phone call.

But, prosecutors wrote, Trump “disregarded” Pence “in the same way he disregarded dozens of court decisions that unanimously rejected his and his allies’ legal claims, and that he disregarded officials in the targeted states — including those in his own party — who stated publicly that he had lost and that his specific fraud allegations were false.”

Pence chronicled&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-donald-trump-14a7cef45932a38a57f2ed98601a7acd">some of his interactions with Trump</a>, and his eventual split with him, in a 2022 book called “So Help Me God.” He also was ordered to&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/pence-trump-grand-jury-2020-jan-6-9dac6db37ab8923ff1b0f09f3a9a32c8">appear before the grand jury</a>&nbsp;investigating Trump after courts rejected claims of executive privilege.

Prosecutors also argue Trump used his Twitter account to spread false claims of election fraud, attacking “those speaking the truth” about his loss and exhorting his supporters to travel to Washington for the Jan. 6, 2021, certification.

They intend to use “forensic evidence” from Trump’s iPhone to provide insight into Trump’s actions after the Capitol attack.

Of the more than 1,200 Tweets Trump sent during the weeks detailed in the indictment, prosecutors say, the vast majority were about the 2020 election, including those falsely claiming Pence could reject electors even though the vice president had told Trump that he had no such power.

That “steady stream of disinformation” culminated in his speech at the Ellipse on the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, where Trump “used these lies to inflame and motivate the large and angry crowd of his supporters to march to the Capitol and disrupt the certification proceeding,” prosecutors wrote.

His “personal desperation was at its zenith” that morning as he was “only hours from the certification proceeding that spelled the end,” prosecutors wrote.

SEDGWICK COUNTY—A Kansas jury found a man guilty of kidnapping and sexual assault of a 14-year-old who was rescued from a closed in Wichita.

This week, 37-year-old David Roark of Wichita was found guilty of kidnapping, child abuse, aggravated indecent liberties with a child, criminal sodomy and sexual exploitation of a child, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

Just after midnight Dec. 14, a detective with the White County, Arkansas Sheriff’s Office contacted Wichita Police requesting assistance locating a missing child from their jurisdiction, according to Wichita Police Officer Chad Ditch.

&nbsp; A 14-year-old girl had left her home in Arkansas in early November and not returned.&nbsp; A follow-up investigation by White County detectives revealed she had been&nbsp;seen in a convenience store&nbsp;with a man before leaving in a vehicle with the same man later identified as 35-year-old&nbsp;David E. Roark of Wichita. Police also learned Roark was wanted on two warrants from the state of Kentucky.

Additional information provided by White County suggested that Roark was possibly in the Wichita area.

The Wichita Police Exploited and Missing Child Unit and the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit began investigating and located an address in the 1800 block of N. Litchfield in Wichita, where they believed Roark was staying.

Police observed Roark leaving the home and took him into custody. Officers then found the missing girl in a closet inside the house. Police took both of them for additional interviews, where it was discovered further crimes had occurred in Wichita.

A search warrant for the residence was completed, and David Roark was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail.&nbsp;

Roark is scheduled for sentencing on November 18.

The United States Poet Laureate Ada Limón will join Humanities Kansas, the Salina Art Center, Salina Arts and Humanities, and The Stiefel Theatre for “In Praise of Mystery: A Celestial Poetry Event with U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón,” a free poetry reading at The Stiefel Theatre, 151 S. Santa Fe Avenue in Salina, on October 17, 2024. 

This is a location change from the Salina Art Center and the new venue opens up more tickets. In-person and livestream tickets for the free event are available at <a href="http://humanitieskansas.org">humanitieskansas.org</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Coinciding with the launch of NASA’s Europa Clipper to the moons of Jupiter, Limón’s poetry reading will include the first ever poem engraved on a spacecraft, “In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa.” A book signing is planned for after the in-person reading. Books will be available to purchase through Red Fern Booksellers.&nbsp;

Limón is the author of six books of poetry, including “The Carrying,” which won the National Book Critics Circle Award.

The Salina Police Department (SPD) arrested a Salina woman on Tuesday, October 1, following a violent confrontation involving an SUV and a physical altercation between two women.

According to a report from SPD Cpt. James Feldman, officers were dispatched to the 200 block of South Phillips Street at approximately 2:30 p.m. in response to a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers observed two females engaged in a physical fight on the ground. They were separated by officers at the scene.

The victim, a 53-year-old woman from Salina, informed officers that the incident began earlier in the day at a friend's house on the 700 block of Spruce Street. While there, Wendy Martinez, also of Salina, reportedly drove up in an SUV and began yelling at the victim over a microphone believed to belong to a relative of Martinez. 

The situation quickly escalated when Martinez allegedly began shoving and punching the victim. A male passenger in the SUV intervened, pulling Martinez off the victim, and allowing the victim to walk away.

As the victim walked near the 300 block of Baker Street, she reported hearing the revving of an engine and saw the SUV heading toward her. Fearing she would be hit, the victim jumped out of the street and called for help. A bystander, unaffiliated with the situation, witnessed the scene and contacted the police.

"Martinez exited the vehicle and began punching and kicking the victim. The victim had a cut lip, a scratch above the right eye, scraps on both arms and pulled hair," Feldman said. "Martinez had pulled hair and blood in and around her mouth."

Emergency medical services were called to the scene to assess both women, and both Martinez and the victim were transported to Salina Regional Health Center for further evaluation. At the hospital Martinez allegedly continued to threaten the victim, further escalating the situation and putting the victim in fear for her safety.

Martinez was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, battery, and criminal threat. She was subsequently booked into the Saline County Jail.

 </figure>By SALINA POSTThe Salina Police Department (SPD) arrested a Salina woman on Tuesday, October 1, following a violent confrontation involving an SUV and a physical altercation between two women.According to a report from SPD Cpt. James Feldman, officers were dispatched to the 200 block of South Phillips Street at approximately 2:30 p.m. in response to a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers observed two females engaged in a physical fight on the ground. They were separated by officers at the scene.The victim, a 53-year-old woman from Salina, informed officers that the incident began earlier in the day at a friend's house on the 700 block of Spruce Street. While there, Wendy Martinez, also of Salina, reportedly drove up in an SUV and began yelling at the victim over a microphone believed to belong to a relative of Martinez. The situation quickly escalated when Martinez allegedly began shoving and punching the victim. A male passenger in the SUV intervened, pulling Martinez off the victim, and allowing the victim to walk away.As the victim walked near the 300 block of Baker Street, she reported hearing the revving of an engine and saw the SUV heading toward her. Fearing she would be hit, the victim jumped out of the street and called for help. A bystander, unaffiliated with the situation, witnessed the scene and contacted the police."Martinez exited the vehicle and began punching and kicking the victim. The victim had a cut lip, a scratch above the right eye, scraps on both arms and pulled hair," Feldman said. "Martinez had pulled hair and blood in and around her mouth."Emergency medical services were called to the scene to assess both women, and both Martinez and the victim were transported to Salina Regional Health Center for further evaluation. At the hospital Martinez allegedly continued to threaten the victim, further escalating the situation and putting the victim in fear for her safety.Martinez was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, battery, and criminal threat. She was subsequently booked into the Saline County Jail.
