The abortion issue was front and center Wednesday. First, the U.S. Supreme Court heard an abortion case for the first time since it overturned Roe v. Wade. The case is over whether Idaho's near-total abortion ban conflicts with a federal law requiring hospitals to provide patients emergency care. Arizona's House of Representatives also voted to repeal a Civil War-era abortion law that bans nearly all abortions, and the bill now heads to the state Senate.       Former President Trump's claim that he can't face prosecution for anything done while in the Oval Office if he's not first impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate goes before the Supreme Court on Thursday. Trump's attorneys will try to convince the Court that Trump shouldn't face charges for alleged election interference.        President Biden's campaign will continue to use TikTok despite the recent bill that could lead to its ban. On Wednesday, the President signed a foreign aid package that also laid the groundwork to ban TikTok in the U.S. The same day, a Biden campaign official told reporters that TikTok is still "one of many places we're making sure our content is being seen by voters."       A U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Harris is being hospitalized after showing what is being described as "distressing behavior" Monday morning. The incident took place at Joint Base Andrews, with Harris not present at the time. According to CBS News, the agent was speaking incoherently, eventually physically provoking another officer.        The U.S. Department of Agriculture says any dairy cows transported across state lines must be tested for bird flu. In March, an outbreak of the bird flu was found in herds of dairy cows for the first time and just this week fragments of the virus were found in pasteurized milk.       The MTV Video Music Awards are returning to New York. For the first time since 2021, the show will be back in New York and this time it will take place on Long Island at the UBS Arena in Elmont.
