Flying boats make for a rare sight as Washington clears an island of derelict vessels by helicopter
OLYMPIA, Wash. — As the owner of a marina, Kate Gervais is used to seeing boats in the water. But for the last couple of days, she's been seeing them in the air. The Washington Department of Natural Resources this week used one of its firefighting helicopters to haul abandoned boats off an uninhabited island in the southernmost reaches of Puget Sound, where the vessels had come to rest after drifting with the currents, and fly them to the mainland to be deconstructed later.

FBI Deputy Director confirms Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide based on agency's files
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Thursday that there is nothing in the Jeffrey Epstein file indicated that he died by any other way than by suicide. Bongino updated Fox News host Sean Hannity on the investigation into the Epstein file as conspiracies continue to float that he was murdered in prison. "The evidence we have in our files clearly indicates that it was, in fact, a suicide. We do have video. It's not the greatest video in the world. I don't want to set expectations on fire," Bongino said. "However, the video does show in that specific block, that he goes in, made a phone call; you'll see 12 hours of guards going in basically check on him, come back. You'll see nobody really comes out of that bay in that area than him. There's no one in there. "There's nothing there in the file at all that indicates anything other than in fact a suicide," Bongino added. The American financier died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Cuomo dismisses nursing home scandal, blames Trump's 'MAGA line' for COVID controversy
Nine Democratic candidates took the stage in New York City Wednesday for the first of two debates ahead of the June 24 mayoral primary, and the claws were out for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo's COVID-19 scandal was front and center just minutes into the debate as moderators asked the candidates how they would stand up to President Donald Trump if elected mayor. The former governor dismissed the legitimacy of the Justice Department's investigation into his alleged false congressional testimony about decisions made during COVID-19 when pressed by moderator Sally Goldenberg of Politico. "That's the Trump line, the MAGA line, because this was during the Trump re-election," Cuomo said when asked repeatedly whether he had a role in producing a contested COVID-19 report. Cuomo said the Justice Department's investigation is another example of the pandemic's game of "political football." "This is what Mr. Trump does, right? He started an investigation against me, against Kathy Hochul, against Sen. Chuck Schumer, against Hillary Clinton. This is one of his tactics," Cuomo said. Also joining Cuomo on the debate stage Wednesday night were City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, city Comptroller Brad Lander, former city Comptroller Scott Stringer, former state Assemblyman Michael Blake from the Bronx, state Sen. Zellnor Myrie from Brooklyn, state Sen. Jessica Ramos from Queens and former hedge fund executive Whitney Tilson. The winner of the Democratic Party mayoral primary will be seen as the overwhelming favorite to win November's general election in the blue city. Early voting in the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City begins June 14 and runs through June 22. Cuomo is the clear polling and fundraising frontrunner in the Democratic primary given his name recognition and experience. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who has found unlikely common ground with the Trump administration in efforts to combat illegal immigration, is running as an independent. The Justice Department made the unusual decision earlier this year to dismiss an indictment against Adams on federal corruption charges. "I know how to deal with Donald Trump because I've dealt with him before," Cuomo said on the debate stage. Cuomo touted his experience as governor, particularly in challenging Trump's agenda during his first term as president. "I am the last person on this stage that Mr. Trump wants to see as mayor, and that's why I should be the first choice for the people of this city to have as mayor," Cuomo said. When again pressed by the moderators and his competitors, Cuomo said he told Congress the truth about the number of nursing home deaths in New York during COVID-19, the basis of the Department of Justice's investigation. "No, I told Congress the truth," Cuomo said. "No, we did not undercount any deaths." Still, Cuomo refused to answer whether he was involved in the production of the contested COVID-19 report. The former governor was grilled by Republican lawmakers last year about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. House Republicans subsequently recommended the Justice Department pursue criminal charges against him. They accused him of intentionally lying to Congress during the House Oversight Committee's investigation into the excessive number of nursing home deaths.
