Bodycam video shows NBA’s Brandon Clarke stopped by police 6 weeks before his death

2026-07-13T18:19:00-0400 / CBS News

Six weeks before NBA player Brandon Clarke of the Memphis Grizzlies died mysteriously in Los Angeles this spring at the age of 29, he was pulled over in Arkansas for fleeing from the police, who said he was driving well over 100 miles per hour in his new Corvette.

CBS News was first to publish the dramatic, never-before-seen body camera footage.

Once Clarke did eventually pull over, he was handcuffed and put in the back of the Cross County sheriff deputy’s patrol vehicle.

Officers searched Clarke’s car and found several large bags of clear capsules containing a green powdery substance, according to a police report. The bags were labeled “100% Pure Mitragyna Speciosa,” with names such as “The Juice,” “Gold Rhino,” “Pure Green” and “Euflooria.”

In the back of the police vehicle, Clarke told officers: “It’s just kratom.”

Kratom is an herbal extract that comes from the leaves of an evergreen tree called Mitragyna speciosa that grows in Southeast Asia, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Kratom has been used for centuries and has been known to help manage pain. But in its new manufactured form, skeptics call kratom “gas station heroin” because it can be highly addictive.

Clarke spent much of the last three years injured. He tore his Achilles tendon in 2023 and underwent two procedures on his right knee in 2025. This year, he missed games with a strained right calf and the team had said he was out for the season.

The Drug Enforcement Administration says kratom produces stimulant effects in low doses and sedative effects in high doses, and can lead to psychotic symptoms, and psychological and physiological dependence.

The Food and Drug Administration has warned that using kratom can cause serious adverse events like liver toxicity and seizures. In rare cases, the FDA says deaths have been associated with kratom use when combined with other drugs.

Kratom is primarily regulated at the state level. In many states, it is legal to buy, but in Arkansas, kratom is illegal and is classified as a Schedule I drug. At the time of Clarke’s arrest, kratom was legal in neighboring Tennessee, where he played.

In addition to kratom, police said they found a THC vape pen containing a brown liquid that tested positive for marijuana in Clarke’s car.

Clarke was charged with two felonies: trafficking a controlled substance and fleeing in a vehicle. He was also charged with three misdemeanors.

Six weeks after that arrest, Clarke died in Los Angeles on May 11.

Did kratom play a role in Clarke’s death? The County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner is investigating. Officially, the status of the case is “deferred.” In an email, the medical examiner’s office said: “When a case is deferred, it means a deputy medical examiner completed an examination but requested additional testing and/or studies in order to make a determination. Due to the ongoing death investigation, the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner cannot disclose what testing and/or studies were requested. Deferred cases can take a few months before a cause of death is determined.”

Does the Senate spend too much time out of Washington?

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Florida) thinks so. In a Fox News op-ed published Monday, the hard-line conservative asserted that the upper chamber takes too many recesses and has too short of a workweek. He noted that senators often call it a week by Thursday afternoon to fly home and that the Senate has spent only 79 days in session this year.

美军宣布7月14日恢复对伊朗的海上封锁

美国中央司令部宣布，根据美国总统特朗普的指示，美军将于美东时间星期二（7月14日）下午4时（新加坡时间15日凌晨4时）开始恢复对伊朗的海上封锁行动。与此同时，特朗普警告，美军将在未来几个小时再次“非常猛烈地”打击伊朗。

综合路透社和彭博社报道，由美国海军主导的联合海上信息中心（JMIC）13日说，封锁将于格林尼治标准时间14日晚上8时（新加坡时间15日凌晨4时）生效，封锁范围涵盖伊朗整个海岸线，包括港口和石油码头，无论悬挂何种国旗。

JMC称，封锁措施不会妨碍中立船只通过霍尔木兹海峡往返非伊朗目的地，人道主义物资运输将在接受检查后获准通行。

特朗普13日在社交媒体发文称，美国将恢复对伊朗的海上封锁，并将对所有经由霍尔木兹海峡运输的货物收取20%的“费用补偿”。

特朗普坚称，“霍尔木兹海峡是开放的，并将继续保持开放，无论伊朗是否参与。我们正在恢复对伊朗的封锁。”他还写道：“从现在开始，美国将是‘霍尔木兹海峡守护者’，但基于这一身份且出于公平，美国将按所有运输货物20%的比率获得补偿，作为在这个动荡地区提供安全保障所需的费用。”

特朗普当天接受电台采访时说，美军将再次“非常猛烈地”打击伊朗。“今晚我们要狠狠打击他们，明天我们还要狠狠打击他们。”

国际油价13日大幅上涨。截至当天收盘，纽约商品交易所8月交货的轻质原油期货价格上涨6.73美元，收于每桶78.14美元（约101新元），涨幅为9.42%；9月交货的伦敦布伦特原油期货价格上涨7.29美元，收于每桶83.30美元，涨幅为9.59%。

美国和伊朗两国总统6月17日远程签署谅解备忘录。根据这份文件，在谅解备忘录签署后，美国将立即着手解除对伊朗的海上封锁以及针对伊朗的任何干扰或阻碍行为，并将在30天内完全解除海上封锁。次日，美国中央司令部在社交媒体发布消息说，美军6月18日解除了对所有进出伊朗港口及沿海地区的海上交通封锁。特朗普7月8日在土耳其首都安卡拉参加北约峰会时说，他认为美国和伊朗达成的谅解备忘录“已终结”。

Senate Majority Leader John Thune mourns Lindsey Graham

“It’s difficult to believe that Lindsey Graham is no longer here with us,” Thune said in an emotional speech Monday.

By Theodoric Meyer

An emotional Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) on Monday eulogized Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), his longtime friend and colleague who died on Saturday.

Standing near from Graham’s desk on the Senate floor, which was draped with a black cloth and a bowl of white roses, Thune, his voice cracking, extolled Graham as a trusted adviser who could always make him laugh.

“It’s difficult to believe that Lindsey Graham is no longer here with us — that we won’t run into him at a meeting today or share a joke with him at this afternoon’s vote,” Thune said. “The halls of the Senate already feel empty without him.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) and other senators in both parties have called for honoring Graham by taking up legislation imposing new sanctions on Russia, which Graham was working to pass before his death. Graham said Friday that he had reached an agreement with White House to support the bill after months of negotiations.

Thune said Monday on CNN that he hoped the Senate could pass the bill as a tribute to Graham but did not say when the chamber might vote on it.

“I think there is a sanctions bill that could get 80 to 90 votes in the Senate,” he said. “We’ve got to figure out exactly what that is.”

Prominent figures on the right leap to conspiracy theories about McConnell, Graham

2026-07-13T21:10:23.720Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/13/politics/lindsey-graham-mitch-mcconnell-conspiracies

Prominent figures in the conservative and MAGA movements have led the charge in spreading baseless conspiracy theories about the absence of Sen. Mitch McConnell and now the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham.

It’s part of a pattern in which conspiracy theories about the deaths and ailments of prominent Republicans are increasingly coming from inside the party’s own house — with little in the way of efforts to combat it from GOP and MAGA leaders.

At Charlie Kirk’s memorial service last year, for example, Tucker Carlson seemed to play footsy with the burgeoning but baseless conspiracy theories that Israel was behind Kirk’s killing. He compared the conservative activist’s death to “guys sitting around eating hummus” in Jerusalem plotting to kill Jesus Christ.

But save for a few conservative critics, prominent Republicans largely ignored it.

And when Carlson was even more direct last month — saying Kirk “was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel,” a claim that remains unfounded — Republicans still largely ignored it, despite it coming from a conservative thought leader who is close to Vice President JD Vance.

Republicans have similarly ignored the much more in-your-face campaign to promote this conspiracy theory from the highly popular podcaster Candace Owens.

And some key right-leaning figures have even suggested the assassination attempts against President Donald Trump might not be what they seem.

All of it suggests a GOP base that has become more conspiratorial in the Trump era is turning its theories inward.

The McConnell theories began with yet another close ally of the White House, far-right activist Laura Loomer. After the Kentucky Republican had been missing for three weeks with few details from his office, Loomer claimed a source had told her the senator was “brain dead” and “not coming back.”

Others in the MAGA movement picked up the ball and ran with it. After one of them alleged that other senators were “ALL in on it together,” GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah responded that they “know nothing about his condition.”

It got to the point where the cable network NewsNation even asked a House Republican whether McConnell was still alive. Indiana Rep. Marlin Stutzman’s response? “I don’t know if he’s alive or has passed away.”

At least some of the blame for feeding these conspiracy theories surely lies with McConnell’s office, which resisted disclosing his condition. It ultimately said Sunday, after Graham’s death, that McConnell had fallen, had been briefly unconscious and then developed pneumonia. It also released a photo of McConnell in the hospital with his wife and a current newspaper.

Loomer responded by baselessly suggesting the photo had been manipulated.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Monday called the theories “crazy speculation online.” But he also suggested McConnell could help tamp them down.

“But you know, I think that anything he can do to just keep these, you know, crazy conspiracy theories off of the, off the grid, so to speak, I think would be helpful,” Thune added.

GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas later echoed calls for transparency, telling reporters, “I wish Sen. McConnell and his team had done that earlier. I think it would have resolved a lot of questions.”

That was only an appetizer for what lay ahead. Graham’s death late Saturday night quickly spawned theories on the right that some nefarious foreign government was behind it.

Loomer cited how the South Carolina Republican had just been in Ukraine pushing for sanctions against Russia. Conservative commentator Marc Thiessen cited Russian President Vladimir Putin’s alleged assassinations of foes and said it was “not a conspiracy theory” to suggest something else might be at play.

Others like Kylie Jane Kremer, who organized rallies to try to help Trump overturn the 2020 election, questioned whether it was Iran, noting that regime has decried the hawkish Graham, too. (Kremer earlier this month accused Trump’s foes of manipulating the weather to make the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary unbearably hot.)

MAGA activist Matt Van Swol said Graham “dying out of the blue like this doesn’t make any sense at all.”

Still others pointed the finger, as is often the case, at Israel.

And FBI Director Kash Patel probably didn’t help matters by concluding his social media post about Graham’s death by saying, “The FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available.” Many wondered why the FBI would be needed if Graham died from natural causes. The preliminary cause of death from the medical examiner — an aortic dissection — was trending on the internet.

Cornyn stopped short of advocating the idea that Graham didn’t die of natural causes, but he called for the release of a toxicology report to “rule out any foul play.”

“Given where he was and the sorts of things he was advocating for, I think we just ought to resolve all those questions by seeing what the toxicology reports show,” he said Monday.

Also strikingly, one of those spreading baseless theories that something might not be as it appears was a leader of Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, which has been a rare force fighting the conspiracy theories about Kirk’s own death.

“I’m not sure how a guy goes from visiting a drone production facility in Ukraine to suddenly dying,” Turning Point COO Tyler Bowyer posted on X. “Seems like important context.”

The Trump and Kirk examples

The conspiracy theories on the right extend to the July 2024 assassination attempt against Trump. A number of figures who have broken with the president have increasingly suggested there was something suspicious about the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. They include Carlson, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, former Trump counterterrorism official Joe Kent and podcaster Tim Dillon.

The Justice Department and FBI have said the would-be assassin was Thomas Crooks, who left little in the way of a paper trail but appeared to be suffering from mental health problems.

And despite the fact that Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, is now on trial and evidence is coming out, conspiracy theories about his death are proving remarkably resilient.

It remains unclear how much these theories have penetrated on the right and are actually believed. After a more recent assassination attempt against Trump — at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this spring — a Fox News poll in May found just 11% of his voters said it was at least “probably staged.”

But 30% of registered voters overall said that. And having 1 in 10 people who voted for Trump believe such a thing is pretty stunning, in and of itself — especially given theories about that one weren’t as prevalent on the right.

There isn’t good public opinion data for the conspiracy theories about the deaths of prominent Republicans, McConnell’s absence or other assassination attempts against Trump.

Another complicating factor is that it may be politically challenging for some Republicans to go after these theories too strongly. That’s because some of them are being promoted by people with real influence and ties to Trump. Loomer has proven a weirdly influential figure with Trump over the years, and Carlson — the former highest-rated host on Fox News — was reported to be instrumental in getting Vance installed as vice president. Also, plenty on the right like Megyn Kelly have appeared reluctant to tangle with Owens.

But the Kirk conspiracy theories were a great example of how this can go wrong for the party. Trump really wanted to use Kirk’s assassination as the basis to go after left-leaning groups he claimed (without evidence) were responsible for such violence. Yet prominent MAGA figures were undermining that political strategy by suggesting it wasn’t the left but instead their chosen villain that was responsible.

To the extent deaths like these are going to be instantly greeted with conspiracy theories, that creates a real collective-action problem for Republicans.

But thanks to the GOP’s many years of humoring Trump’s own amplification of conspiracy theories, it’s a problem long in the making.

Trump-backed Daylight Saving Time bill clears key House hurdle

Trump supports the effort, which cleared House Rules Committee 6-4 and would let states lock in year-round Daylight Saving Time

A bipartisan push to make Daylight Saving Time permanent is heading for a chamber-wide vote after clearing a key House hurdle.

The House Rules Committee on Monday teed up a floor vote on the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to enact Daylight Saving Time year-round — with an option to opt out. The committee approved the rule in a 6-4 vote.

The measure has the support of many coastal lawmakers and President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly urged Congress to make Daylight Saving Time permanent and end the twice-a-year ritual of changing clocks — a practice currently observed by every state except Hawaii and most of Arizona.

Proponents argue that resetting clocks has negative health impacts, while permanent Daylight Saving Time would boost outdoor recreation, tourism and economic activity, among other benefits.

CONGRESS EYES RARE BIPARTISAN HOUSING WIN WITH OR WITHOUT TRUMP’S HELP

Most Americans already set their clocks forward one hour each spring to preserve more evening daylight before “falling back” one hour in November.

“Americans are overwhelmingly supportive of this policy and want to end the practice of ‘springing forward’ and ‘falling back.’ Locking the clock all year long would have positive impacts on sleep schedules, energy conservation, motor vehicle safety, and our economy,” Chairman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., said in an opening statement Monday.

“In practice, this change would mean more time for people to exercise outside, visit family, attend concerts and sporting events, attract customers to their retail businesses, and more.”

“Floridians and Americans across the country are tired of the biannual time change, and the evidence is clear that permanent daylight saving time can improve public health, reduce traffic accidents, lower crime and encourage more outdoor activity,” Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., who authored the measure, previously said in a May news release.

“Ending the clock change is a commonsense reform that will improve everyday life for millions of Americans,” he added.

The legislation’s momentum comes after the House Energy and Commerce Committee overwhelmingly passed the measure 48-1 in May.

“It’s time that people can stop worrying about the ‘Clock,’ not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice-yearly production,” Trump wrote following the Sunshine Protection Act’s advancement out of committee. “It will also be a very nice WIN for the Republican Party. Take it! We are going with the far more popular alternative, Saving Daylight, which gives you a longer, brighter Day — And who can be against that — This is an easy one!”

SLEEP DOCTOR REVEALS THE BRUTAL HEALTH DOWNSIDE OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

Roughly 20 states have already passed legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent if Congress were to authorize the practice. Alabama, South Carolina, Oregon, Maine and Florida are among those places.

But opponents, including several medical organizations, argue that permanent standard time — which provides more sunlight in the morning — would be the healthier option because it would more closely align with the body’s natural circadian rhythms.

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., proposed amending the bill with language from her co-sponsored Sunshine for Our Kids Act, which would make standard time permanent nationwide. The amendment was quickly rejected.

Scanlon argued that permanent daylight saving time would pose significant health and safety risks by leaving more Americans — particularly children — in darkness during morning hours. She also pointed to the nation’s brief experiment with year-round daylight saving time in 1974, which Congress abandoned after widespread public backlash.

Rep. Nanette Barragán, D-Calif., was also the lone lawmaker to oppose the legislation during the Energy and Commerce Committee markup in May, citing concerns that year-round daylight saving time could negatively affect children’s health and sleep schedules.

Some conservative lawmakers have also argued that GOP leadership should be focused on what they describe as more pressing legislative issues, including legislation codifying Trump’s border security executive orders and the stalled SAVE America Act.

“Republicans are majoring in the minors — fiddling with the clocks while the country burns,” Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, wrote Monday.

The House has already passed versions of the SAVE America Act multiple times, but the measure has struggled to overcome the Senate’s legislative filibuster.

特朗普：美国将摧毁伊朗疑有地下设施的皮卡克斯山

美国总统特朗普说，美国将摧毁伊朗皮克克斯山的核设施。

路透社报道，特朗普星期一（7月13日）接受美国保守派广播脱口秀节目Hugh Hewitt Show访问时说：“我们将摧毁皮克克斯山（Pickaxe Mountain）。叫伊朗人等着吧。”

特朗普所说的皮克克斯山为Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La，坐落在伊朗中部伊斯法罕省纳坦兹核设施附近，被指可能建有地下秘密设施。

特朗普对节目主持人休伊特（Hugh Hewitt）说：“我们正在密切监视（皮克克斯山）。目前没有发现任何活动。他们的核计划有麻烦。我们一听到消息就会轰炸。所以他们避谈此事。但我们可能很快就会对皮克克斯山动手。”

皮克克斯山位于已经严重受损的纳坦兹铀浓缩设施附近，是一处戒备森严的基地，建有两个深埋地下的隧道群。专家评估认为，这两个隧道群非常深，即使是美国最强大的钻地炸弹也摧毁不了它们。

特朗普13日早些时候说，美国将恢复对伊朗的海上封锁，并警告将再次“非常猛烈地”打击伊朗。

Military action against Iran formally restarted last week, Trump told lawmakers

Updated on: July 13, 2026 / 7:54 PM EDT / CBS News

By Caitlin Yilek Politics Reporter

President Trump formally notified Congress that “military action” against Iran restarted last week, according to a letter obtained by CBS News on Monday, as a monthslong ceasefire comes to an end.

Military action “commenced on July 7,” the president said in a message dated July 10 and addressed to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Senate’s president pro tempore.

The letter was sent after Mr. Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire “over” and ordered several rounds of strikes on Iranian targets, in response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz last week. Iranian authorities have insisted that ships seek permission and use an Iranian-approved route before transiting the strait, and responded to the U.S. strikes by launching missiles and drones at U.S.-allied Gulf states.

The notification to Congress calls the most recent strikes “limited, measured, planned, and executed in a manner designed to minimize civilian casualties.” The goal, Mr. Trump wrote, is to target Iranian military sites that pose a threat to U.S. forces and commercial shipping.

Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, a post-Vietnam War law, the president must notify Congress within 48 hours of the start of military hostilities. Shortly after the U.S.-Iran war began in late February, the White House sent a notification to Congress, but the Trump administration’s position was that hostilities had “terminated” after the two sides signed a ceasefire in early April.

In last week’s letter to lawmakers, Mr. Trump wrote that the U.S. had engaged in “productive, good-faith efforts to achieve a diplomatic solution to Iran’s malign behavior,” leading the two countries to ink a memorandum of understanding last month. But he said Iran’s attacks on three oil tankers early last week violated a provision of the deal that requires Iran to arrange for safe transit through the Strait of Hormuz, leading to U.S. strikes.

“United States Armed Forces remain postured to take further action, as necessary and appropriate, to address further threats and attacks upon the United States or its allies and partners and to ensure the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran ceases being a threat to the United States and to our allies and partners,” the letter says.

The War Powers Resolution limits military hostilities to 60 days unless Congress votes to authorize military force. The Trump administration has argued that provision of the law is unconstitutional, but it has never been tested in court, and some members of both parties have argued Mr. Trump should seek permission from Congress if hostilities last longer than 60 days.

Both the House and Senate passed a resolution last month seeking to limit Mr. Trump’s ability to carry out further military action against Iran without congressional authorization. Democrats have said they’re considering their legal options to force Mr. Trump to comply. The president has argued that he is acting under his constitutional authority.

The Senate later rejected a similar war powers measure, with some key Republicans suggesting they wanted to give more time for the Trump administration’s diplomatic push with Iran to play out.

Now, as the U.S. resumes strikes against Iran and as Mr. Trump expresses pessimism about U.S.-Iran negotiations, it’s unclear how lawmakers will react.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a longtime critic of the Iran war, told reporters that the war “never stopped,” and argued the administration is not complying with the War Powers Resolution’s 60-day time limit.

“They’re literally trying to steer around it by pretending you can play stop-start and restart the clock,” he said Monday.

美国中央司令部说，美军于美东时间星期一（7月13日）下午4时45分（新加坡时间14日凌晨4时45分）开始对伊朗发动“连续第三晚”的打击行动。

美国中央司令部13日在社交媒体发文说，这些打击将继续使伊朗军队付出沉重代价，并削弱伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡袭击商船的能力。

当天稍早时，美国总统特朗普接受美国电台采访时说：“今晚我们要狠狠打击他们，明天我们还要狠狠打击他们。”

另据新华社引述伊朗法尔斯通讯社报道，一架美军MQ-1无人机13日深夜在霍尔木兹海峡上空被伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队防空系统击落。

特朗普13日在社交媒体发文称，美国将恢复对伊朗的海上封锁，并将对所有经由霍尔木兹海峡运输的货物收取20%的“费用补偿”。

美国中央司令部随后宣布，美军将于美东时间星期二（14日）下午4时（新加坡时间15日凌晨4时）开始恢复对伊朗的海上封锁行动。
