With 740 new coronavirus deaths in 24 hours, the United States has seen more people die from the pandemic than died in World War I, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
The new figure, counted at 8:30 pm (0030 GMT) Tuesday, brought the country's total COVID-19 deaths up to 116,854, the tracker from the Baltimore-based university showed.
The increase came after two days of death tolls under 400.
And 23,351 new cases in the same 24-hour period brought the total US count up to 2,134,973, making it by far the hardest-hit of any country in the world.
President Trump said Monday that 'every conversation' with him is 'highly classified' suggesting former National Security Advisor John Bolton could face criminal prosecution for the contents of his forthcoming tell-all about working in the Trump White House.
'I will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified,' Trump told reporters Monday. 'So that would mean that if he wrote a book and if the book gets out he's broken the law. I would think he would have criminal problems,' Trump added.
On Monday, ABC News announced that Bolton had taped a primetime sit-down interview with Martha Raddatz that will air Sunday night.
Additionally, the network reported that the Trump administration is expected to file a lawsuit to keep Bolton's book, in its current form, off of store shelves.
Zsakhiem James, a police captain in Camden, New Jersey - once considered the most dangerous city in the United States - sees every encounter with a resident as an opportunity to build “social currency” to prevent or solve a future crime.
That’s why during a tour this week of Federal Street, a main thoroughfare through Camden’s business district, he preached to two young officers the importance of forging personal ties on their beat.
“We try to meet people in the absence of crisis,” James told Reuters. “That’s one of the things that helps us build that social currency. We make those deposits in the community where when things happen we can make a withdrawal on that trust.”
US President Donald Trump says he will "not even consider" renaming military bases named for Confederate generals. He tweeted that the facilities were part of "a Great American heritage". Mr Trump's remarks follow reports that top military officials were open to changes amid nationwide soul-searching after the death of George Floyd.
For many, symbols of the Confederacy - the slaveholding southern states that seceded, prompting the 1861-65 American Civil War - evoke a racist past. Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday that bases named for Confederate generals "have become part of a Great American heritage, a history of Winning, Victory and Freedom".
He added: "The United States of America trained and deployed our HEROES on these Hallowed Grounds, and won two World Wars. Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations.
