They smashed all expectations.

But on Air Force One,

reporters pressing him about something else.

His new pick for acting director of national intelligence,

Bill Pulte, a Trump loyalist with no experience in intelligence or national security.

Bill Pulte is very good.

He's very talented.

Trump says he wants Pulte to slash staff at the agency.

I wouldn't mind if I've heard this way too high for way too long.

He tells the Wall Street Journal that as acting director,

Pulte is less shackled, saying that sort of gives you more power,

you know, for a somewhat limited period of time adding he can do a lot of the hard work

and we wouldn't have to saddle somebody that goes in.

And Whit, Trump has made it clear that Bill Pulte is not his permanent pick for the job.

He says he has five people in mind.

The question now, when does the president make that announcement public?

How long will it take his nominee to be confirmed?

And what does Bill Pulte do at the agency in the meantime?

Whit?

All right, Mary Bruce, our thanks to you.

Next tonight, the alarming situation on board the International Space Station,

NASA, ordering the astronauts to take shelter in the Crew Dragon spacecraft because of an air leak.

Operations on board the ISS have now resumed.

The leak was in a rarely used part of the space station.

Turning now to the closely watched Senate race that could decide control of the Senate.

Growing questions about Maine Democratic candidate Graham Plattner after reports of several women coming forward with disturbing allegations.

Plattner now responding.

ABC's Selena Wang reporting from Maine tonight.

Tonight, the Democratic candidate in one of the year's most closely watched Senate races battling a firestorm of controversy.

Graham Plattner, an oyster farmer and former Marine,

100

is running to unseat Maine Republican Susan Collins.

101

But Plattner's past now coming back to haunt him.

102

First, a series of sexist Reddit posts now deleted,

103

then reports he exchanged sexual text messages with at least six women shortly after he was married in 2023.

104

Plattner's wife Amy standing by him.

105

I want my marriage and I want to be married to Graham.

106

Overnight, the New York Times reporting several of Plattner's ex-girlfriends described quote unsettling behavior.

107

One claiming Plattner regularly grabbed her by the shoulders,

108

sometimes hard enough to leave marks,

109

and on one occasion yanked her out of a cab by her wrist.

110

She says during one argument,

111

Plattner twisted her arm behind her back,

112

shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn't get out.

113

The allegations in the latest story are troubling,

114

and I believe that Graham Plattner has a lot of questions to answer.

115

Plattner fiercely denies any violence,

116

but admits to mistakes in his past,

117

speaking with ABC affiliate WMTW.

118

I'm very happy to talk about incredibly uncomfortable things in my life,

119

But when things come along that are just made up or lies,

120

I'm very much going to push back against those.

121

He was already facing questions about why he got a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol on his chest

122

while he was in the Marines some 18 years ago.

123

Plattner insists he only recently became aware of the Nazi connection.

124

I got it covered up within days because I didn't want that on my body.

125

It all puts National Democrats in quite a bind.

126

Winning Maine is crucial in their effort to retake the Senate.

127

Senator Bernie Sanders standing by Plattner.

128

Look, I'm sure he's not a saint.

129

And by the way, let's not forget,

130

he has acknowledged, this guy served four tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

131

He has acknowledged that he came back with PTSD.

132

But Senator Alyssa Slotkin exasperated.

133

I look forward to the day where I am not answering every single week a question about bad behavior by another dude.

134

I just, I look forward to that day.

135

And Whit Grim Plattner is not the Democratic nominee yet.

136

The primary is on Tuesday,

137

and Maine's Governor Janet Mills is still on the ballot.

138

Now, she suspended her campaign back in April,

139

but with all the scandals swirling around Plattner,

140

she's making sure Democrats know that they can still vote for her if they want to win.

141

All right, Selena Wang, thank you.

142

We move on now to the husband

143

and father sentenced to life without parole for killing his wife and another man he lured to their home in Virginia.

144

Prosecutors say Brendan Banfield killed both victims as part of an elaborate plot while having an affair with the family's au pair,

145

the judge calling him evil.

146

Here's ABC's Matt Rivers.

147

Tonight, Judgment Day in a twisted double murder plot.

148

I sent you to life in the penitentiary for the rest of your natural life.

149

Brendan Banfield convicted of killing his wife Christine

150

and a stranger he lured to their home in order to frame him for the murder

151

and stage it as a home invasion.

152

Banfield posed as his wife online and catfished Joseph Ryan through a fetish website.

153

When he arrived at the house,

154

Banfield shot him and stabbed his own wife.

155

I was able to see him stabbing her.

156

The husband and father conspiring with the family's au pair so they could carry on an affair.

157

Today, Christine's sister said she never truly knew Brendan.

158

I don't believe anyone did.

159

Not family, not friends, and certainly not Christine.

160

His testimony was the most self-serving display of narcissism I have ever witnessed.

161

The mother of Joseph Ryan, heartbroken.

162

I have felt the deepest loss I could ever experience.

163

But Banfield showing no remorse.

164

I'm greatly disappointed in the legal system.

165

The judge handing down life without parole.

166

The level of cruelty, calculation,

167

and inhumanity in this case reflects something far deeper than anger or impulse.

168

It reflects evil.

169

Witt, as a part of the plea deal,

170

the Au Pair is serving 10 years for manslaughter.

171

Witt.

172

Matt Rivers, we appreciate it.

173

Next tonight, newly released body camera video showing a Waymo self-driving taxi interfering with first responders

174

as they race to a massive and deadly natural gas explosion in Dallas.

175

A police officer struggling to move the car and what Waymo is saying tonight.

176

Here's ABC's Morgan Norwood.

177

Tonight, as this massive fire tore through a Dallas apartment complex,

178

this new body camera video showing a Waymo,

179

a driverless car, slowly first responders as they scramble to secure the scene.

180

This deadly fire killing three people and injuring several others.

181

Watch as this Dallas County constable pleads with support to move the vehicle.

182

This call may be recorded for quality assurance.

183

Yes, you need to move this car ASAP, please.

184

Waymo reportedly unlocking the car,

185

allowing the deputy to drive it out of the way.

186

Come on, man.

187

Can you go?

188

The system seems to be having a minor issue.

189

This mishap, just the latest in a series of Wayward Waymo incidents.

190

And Whit, tonight, Waymo saying that vehicle was in the process of completing a three-point turn in order to leave the area.

191

They add that they're working closely with Dallas law enforcement moving forward.

192

Okay, Morgan Norwood, thanks so much.

193

Now to the case making national headlines.

194

One year after being found not guilty of murdering her Boston police officer boyfriend,

195

Karen Reed is now filing a lawsuit accusing police of misconduct.

196

The lawsuit alleging disturbing voice and text messages were sent between officers.

197

Tonight, our chief investigative correspondent,

198

Aaron Katursky, sitting down with Karen Reed.

199

Tonight, nearly a year after she was acquitted of killing her boyfriend,

200

Karen Reed is speaking out about her scathing new lawsuit against two Massachusetts police departments that she says framed her for murder.

201

I've always known that if I could free myself,

202

that I would right the wrongs that have been done to me.

203

So this is now a new, this is your crusade.

204

I think that's a good word for it.

205

Reed's lawsuit includes vile and racist messages.

206

She says her from the lead investigator,

207

former state trooper Michael Proctor,

208

disparaging women, Asian Americans, Hispanics, Jews, and black Americans.

209

Take your time.

210

I saw a f***ing was involved,

211

so I wouldn't rush if you're working.

212

Let them die.

213

Like, literally, shove a f***ing nightstick up his a**,

214

plant a bag of coke on him,

215

and just be like, you're going in.

216

That person in their core cannot logically, objectively investigate someone.

217

He is rotten and evil in his core.

218

A federal investigation into the handling of Reed's case ended with no charges,

219

but her attorneys say they uncovered many more messages the feds never saw.

220

There are thousands, I mean,

221

tens of thousands of messages.

222

Vile and vulgar like these?

223

Yes.

224

His view of the world,

225

as reflected in these text messages,

226

indicates that Karen Reed was a person that he didn't care about.

227

And I've learned something about the underbelly of these institutions that I feel I have to do something with.

228

I have to make something good come of this.

229

With the Massachusetts State Police denounced the messages and fired the trooper.

230

The trooper's lawyer accused Karen Reed of trying to distract from her own conduct the night her boyfriend died.

231

And Reed is facing a lawsuit from her boyfriend's family for wrongful death.

232

All right, Aaron, thank you for that.

233

Tonight we're tracking severe storms across multiple states.

234

65 million people under alert.

235

Extreme heat in the northeast.

236

Temperatures well into the 90s again tomorrow.

237

Let's get right to ABC's senior meteorologist Lee Goldberg.

238

Lee, that severe weather on the move.

239

We really haven't seen a lot of heat here in the northeast,

240

but now that we have it,

241

we have a severe risk coming up on Saturday.

242

Those storms tonight, they're in the Midwest.

243

We have severe thunderstorms.

244

We've already seen some damaging ones across parts of Minnesota.

245

There's a severe thunderstorm.

246

Watch from Minneapolis into Wisconsin.

247

More storms late tonight from Nebraska into Illinois.

248

Damaging winds hail, even an isolated tornado.

249

That severe weather, that's going to reach the Great Lakes into the northeast on Saturday.

250

Let's time it for you in the morning.

251

That's when we see storms in the Ohio Valley into Pennsylvania and New York.

252

I think the strong storms are going to approach the I-95 quarters.

253

We go through late day,

254

especially into the evening hours.

255

Have your mobile alerts on.

256

Damaging winds, hail, frequent lightning, all possible.

257

Before that, it's another 90-degree day as the heat peaks along with some humidity.

258

The front will break the heat.

259

It'll last only into early next week,

260

and then the heat is on again.

261

Summer is definitely hitting its stride.

262

Witt.

263

All right, Lee Goldberg, thanks so much.

264

When we come back, dramatic video showing a Marine and his family fighting off a group of allegedly armed robbers,

265

details on the desperate search for a college student overseas one week after he was last seen,

266

and the bear being called extremely intelligent,

267

how it made its escape after being trapped inside a factory.

268

Next tonight, a Marine turns the tables on a group of attempted carjackers outside Washington, D.C.

269

Police say doorbell camera video shows four teenagers approach Jacob Borda at gunpoint on Wednesday.

270

tries to disarm one teen who allegedly fired a gun.

271

No one was hurt.

272

Borda's dad and brother rushed in,

273

tackled the suspects, and called 911.

274

The desperate search for a missing American college student in Kyoto, Japan.

275

Police say 20-year-old James Weston Higginbotham was last seen one week ago on a family trip.

276

Search teams are combing a mountain range for any traces of the man.

277

Investigators say it is highly probable Higginbotham left intentionally.

278

His family says he ventured off shortly after an argument with his mother.

279

When we come back, the bear being called extremely intelligent,

280

how it evaded capture.

281

And the Chicago Bears inching closer to leaving the city they call home for another state.

282

To the index now, the Chicago Bears are inching closer to getting a new home outside Chicago.

283

The team's board of directors voted to move forward with a plan to build a stadium in northwest Indiana.

284

The vote comes after Illinois lawmakers failed to approve the bill that would give the bears a break on property taxes.

285

Area lawmakers say they will continue fighting to keep the bears in Illinois.

286

Now to another bear making headlines,

287

and this one officials call extremely intelligent after it made a clever escape.

288

We told you earlier this week about the bear that went on a rampage and injured four people in Fukushima, Japan.

289

That bear was trapped inside a factory,

290

but then officials say it turned on a tap to drink water

291

and later evaded capture when it unlocked and opened a window before running away.

292

Finally tonight, paying tribute to one of our own,

293

former ABC News journalist Jim Wooten.

294

Over the course of more than two decades for ABC News,

295

Jim Wooten reported from more than 40 countries and five continents.

296

In Bosnia, he chronicled the devastating war and its impact on ordinary people.

297

From the early morning on,

298

all day long, one after another,

299

those wounded in the front line fighting at Brčko were brought here.

300

The genocide in Rwanda.

301

This is the land Yves now calls home.

302

It's volcanic rock.

303

You can't farm it, you can't build on it,

304

you can't live on it.

305

You can die on it,

306

but they can't bury you in it.

307

The AIDS crisis in South Africa.

308

Even a

309

little boy's reach ought to exceed his grasp.

310

Here at home, he often covered politics.

311

What Governor Clinton needed to do tonight was to present the possibility that he can be seen as a president.

312

He left an indelible mark on journalism and all of us here at ABC News.

313

Wooten is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.

314

He was 88 years old.

315

And our thoughts are with Jim's family tonight.

316

I'm Whit Johnson in New York.

317

Have a great night.

318

Thank you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
