Mueller, American Civic Association shooting, college admissions: 5 things to know Wednesday

House committee to vote on subpoena for Mueller report

With a Tuesday deadline come and gone, the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday is expected to vote on authorizing a subpoena for the full report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, including secret grand jury evidence. The leaders of six House committees asked Attorney General William Barr in a letter last week to turn over the full "unredacted" report by Tuesday, saying the materials were "urgently needed by our committees to perform their duties under the Constitution." On Monday, Judiciary chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y, announced that the committee would vote Wednesday to authorize subpoenas if the report was not delivered.

Loughlin, Huffman to appear in court over college admissions scandal

Actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman will appear in a federal court in Boston Wednesday for their first appearance before a judge on felony charges they bribed and cheated to get their daughters admitted to elite colleges. The two "Hollywood defendants," the most famous of a group of over 30 parents charged in a wide-ranging cheating scandal, are set to be in court for separate and short appearances. Meanwhile, those who have worked with Loughlin, have both expressed support and distanced themselves from her. Hallmark parent company Crown Media has already cut ties with Loughlin and one of her former co-stars simply called the ouster a "tough spot." Loughlin's 'Full House' co-star Candace Cameron Bure has supported Loughlin saying, "we are family and we stand by each other."

Funeral held for college student who got in wrong car

Funeral services will be held Wednesday in New Jersey for Samantha Josephson, a University of South Carolina student who was murdered after entering a car she mistakenly thought was her rideshare. Samantha's father, Seymour Josephson, says he wants others to learn from what happened to his daughter and be more careful using services such as Uber or Lyft. South Carolina lawmakers on Tuesday have introduced a bill to require all rideshare services in the state to have illuminated signs on their vehicles.

Remembering those lost in the American Civic Association shooting

The citizens of Binghamton, New York, will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the mass shooting at the American Civic Association on Wednesday with a series of events that will conclude with an evening vigil service. On April 3, 2009, a man walked into the American Civic Association, a nonprofit organization built to bridge the gap between ethnic communities where residents attend cultural events and students learn to speak English, and gunned down 13 people before turning the weapon on himself. At the time, the mass shooting was the seventh-deadliest shooting in U.S. history. Today, it remains the 13th-deadliest mass shooting. From law enforcement procedures to the memorial to the massacre, to the residents' searing memories, the tragedy irrevocably changed the city of Binghamton.

Whole Foods to cut prices

Amazon and Whole Foods Market announced a new round of price cuts on hundreds of items starting Wednesday with a focus on produce that may help change the longtime "Whole Paycheck" nickname. Prices will be reduced by an average of 20 percent , according to an Amazon and Whole Foods statement. Prime members in addition will find "double the number of exclusive weekly Prime member deals and deeper discounts." Amazon acquired the Whole Foods chain for $13.7 billion in August 2017, stating it would make the market's high-quality, natural and organic food more affordable.
