Thanks for being with us. New allegations that former President Trump tried to pressure Arizona Governor Doug Ducey to overturn the state's presidential election results in 2020. The Washington Post reports that Trump repeatedly asked former President Vice Pence to call Ducey about the matter. Larry Sabato is the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. It's really worth noting that Trump is still lying after an avalanche of evidence has come out showing there was no widespread fraud in any of these close states. He continues to say, sometimes through spokespeople and sometimes directly himself on truth social, that the election was rigged and stolen. It was not. A new poll says more Latinos are turning away from the Democratic Party. This could mean some blue states could be changing color.

But yet the poll also shows that as Latinos move away from the Democratic Party, they're actually moving into independence. So it's not necessarily a pickup. Republicans are not taking advantage of it just yet. But right now, this shows that everything is unpredictable, is just on the table in 2024, but also 2026, 2028.

Rather than developing new energy sources or figuring out ways to cut carbon emissions, some new companies are actually trying to pull carbon out of the air. Living carbon at startup out of California is actually genetically modifying trees to grow at supercharged speeds, turning CO2 into wood. The Wall Street Journal says taking they're genes from algae and pumpkins and engineering them into poplar trees. In a greenhouse they grew over 50 % faster than the other trees. They've already planted new forests in nearby Pennsylvania and also in Ohio and Georgia. Some ecologists say the effectiveness of this method will depend on how long the trees last and if they easily succumb to pests or wildfires. Luke Lugert, WTOP News. Some more information on that ground stop we've been reporting on at local DC airports. All flights into DC area airports have resumed. The FAA had ordered a ground stop of flights Reagan at National Airport, Dulles International Airport and Richmond International Airport. Some of the ground stops caused unexpected diversions for flights already in the air. Elizabeth, a resident on a flight from Memphis into the district, says her flight change was very unexpected. I was a little concerned because I was like, I didn't realize there was even an airport and the fact that it's kind of in the middle of nowhere was a little concerning. I was like, okay, we're going to Lynchburg. The FAA says the air traffic facility handling incoming flights was under repair when the facility switched to a backup system.

Sheriff's detectives in Charles County want your help to identify the body of a woman found in a field near Bell Alton 25 years ago this month. Investigators believe the woman is from Maryland and that she was murdered. Detectives and forensic scientists have used several advanced technologies to try to identify the woman. They're also hoping to hear from a tipster who reached out to the Charles County crime solvers tip line in connection with the case. Meanwhile, engineering officials are sounding optimistic about replacing that damaged section of I -95 5 quickly. George Washington University civil engineering professor Kim Rhodes says recycled foam glass aggregate is being trucked in from a nearby company to quickly build up the damaged area to road level and create three temporary northbound and three temporary southbound lanes while they build a 10 lane permanent fix. Building the permanent bridges on the side they're going to be doing that over the course of many months and then when those two bridges on the side are ready they will reopen. The temporary repairs could be ready in a matter of weeks which will substantially ease traffic congestion. Crews are already working 24 7 on the project. Dan Ronan WTOP news.
