Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins accused of punching woman with ‘closed first' as new details in arrest emerge
Judkins, who was drafted by the Browns with the 36th overall pick following a standout season at Ohio State, was arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department over the weekend and charged with battery and domestic violence following an incident that occurred with a romantic partner on July 7.
The couple began arguing after flying into Fort Lauderdale Airport, the NFL Network reported, citing a police report.
The woman claimed that Judkins was seemingly upset over text messages that he received from family members while the pair was waiting for their luggage at baggage claim. The police report did not detail what was said in the text messages, but the woman told law enforcement that she was attempting to dispel whatever was said in the messages.
After getting in their rental car outside the airport, the woman claimed that the argument turned physical.
"The victim stated that the defendant then punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist," the police report read, noting that the woman still had visible bruising on her chin area.
The argument continued in the vehicle, and according to the report, the woman at one point sat in the back of the car.
"The victim stated that the defendant turned around while he was driving and struck her additional times in the left arm and leg," the report stated, noting additional bruising in those areas.
The woman contacted the police days later on July 12, telling law enforcement that she did not report the alleged incident immediately because she "felt bad due to the recent success and career of the defendant."
Judkins was released on Sunday after he posted a $2,500 bond. The judge ordered the NFL player not to be in contact with the alleged victim and have no access to firearms.
A Browns spokesman said the team is aware of the incident and gathering more information.

Why Trump Can't Shake Jeffrey Epstein
This is an edited transcript of an episode of 'The Ezra Klein Show.' You can listen to the conversation by following or subscribing to the show on the NYT Audio app, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. There's an old joke: A conspiracy theorist dies and goes to heaven. When he arrives, God says, 'Welcome. You can ask me one question. Anything you want.' The man says, 'I need to know: Who really shot J.F.K.?' God says, 'Lee Harvey Oswald shot him, and he acted alone.' The man pauses and then says, 'Wow. This goes even higher than I thought.' On July 7, the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice released a memo detailing the findings of 'an exhaustive review of investigative holdings relating to Jeffrey Epstein.' This systematic review of more than 300 gigabytes of material, they said: 'revealed no incriminating 'client list.' There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.' It went on to say: 'After a thorough investigation, F.B.I. investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on Aug. 10, 2019.' The memo also explained why further files will not be released. Information related to Epstein's victims is: 'intertwined throughout the materials.' It said: 'One of our highest priorities is combating child exploitation and bringing justice to victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends.' So case closed. No, I'm just kidding. MAGA is tearing itself apart over this. Much of the MAGA-verse thinks Attorney General Pam Bondi is lying and is calling for her head. New theories are spinning out: Maybe Donald Trump is on that list. Maybe Donald Trump or his administration is being blackmailed by the intelligence services. Maybe Donald Trump is now himself using that list for blackmail. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

EPA, Norfolk Southern manipulated East Palestine soil testing data, report says
A new report alleges that soil samples following the 2023 fiery train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio were manipulated by the EPA and Norfolk Southern. The whistleblower group Government Accountability Project uncovered a letter they say allegedly proves negligence in testing for contaminated soil at the site of the crash. According to the document, Norfolk Southern's contractor published a plan, but the Environmental Protection Agency then updated that plan the next day, directing that additional samples be taken in more heavily impacted locations. This letter goes hand in hand with two other whistleblowers whose claims say that environmental testing wasn't conducted properly. According to the whistleblowers, the key flaw was that baseline samples were inappropriately collected based on likely wind directions near the time of the burn of chemicals like vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate. They say this compromised the entire sampling plan. Those whistleblowers also believe that officials who tested intentionally avoided testing in areas to show dioxin contamination. East Palestine and Norfolk Southern previously agreed to a $22 million settlement earlier this year. It's unknown if anything will come from the alleged claims of wrong soil sampling.

Even After Bondi Gains Trump's Backing, Her Survival Remains an Open Question
Chelsea captured the FIFA Club World Cup last weekend and President Trump, who attended the game, managed to obtain one of the gilded Tiffany trophies to display in the Oval Office. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who had been invited to the presidential box at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, took home what was, for her, an equally valuable prize: a photograph of Mr. Trump offering her a magnanimous smile and the thumbs-up sign. The snapshot provided visual proof that Ms. Bondi has, for now, prevailed in her fight with Dan Bongino, a top F.B.I. official who blamed her for bungling the endgame of the investigation into the financier Jeffrey Epstein. Some Trump advisers share that view, but Mr. Bongino badly overplayed his hand and Ms. Bondi parlayed close relationships in the White House into a Truth Social post by Mr. Trump commanding her critics to shut up. 'LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE'S GREAT!' he wrote in all caps. Yet Ms. Bondi's long-term victory, and perhaps her survival, is anything but assured. Her decision this month to issue a memo affirming that Mr. Epstein's jailhouse death in 2019 was a suicide precipitated an intense, unexpected right-wing backlash against Mr. Trump with no precedent, no obvious off-ramp and no mercy shown to an attorney general seen by some Trump die-hards as a symbol of second term littered with broken promises. 'I'm going to be here for as long as the president wants me here, and I believe he's made that crystal clear,' Ms. Bondi told reporters at a news conference on Tuesday. 'It's four years — well, three and a half now, right?' added Ms. Bondi. 'We've got six months in, and it feels like six years.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
