Vice President J.D.

A Utah judge handing prosecutors two victories in the case against accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, while delaying a ruling that could take the death penalty off the table.

A Trump-backed political outsider claiming victory in Colombia, promising a Bukele-style crackdown as Latin America continues its shift to the right.

and the Supreme Court reinstating the murder conviction in one of New York's most infamous missing child cases, nearly five decades after six-year-old Eitan Pates disappeared.

All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update.

Vice President J.D.

Vance returning from Switzerland yesterday after high-level talks with Iran, launching the next phase of negotiations toward a permanent nuclear agreement and a broader end to the fighting across the Middle East.

Prior to departure, the vice president updating reporters on what he called, quote, a lot of good progress.

Mr. Vance announcing what he described as a major breakthrough.

Iran, however, almost immediately pushing back on the administration's account.

A spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry insisting on state media that Tehran will continue cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency only under its existing procedures and has accepted no new obligations.

Iran's parliament restricting cooperation with the agency last summer and suspending routine inspections.

Though state media claims inspectors have continued receiving case-by-case access to active facilities.

Iranian officials also claiming the country's nuclear program was not negotiated during the Switzerland meetings at all.

President Trump dismissing that denial, writing on Truth Social, quote, Everybody is fully aware that Iran will agree to have major weapons inspections in order to ensure nuclear honesty long into the future.

Mr. Vance similarly warning reporters against taking Tehran's public statements at face value, pointing to Iranian claims that its delegation was preparing to abandon the negotiations only for the talks to continue for another nine hours.
