A series of breaking news events unfolded on Monday, ranging from a shooting involving a 49ers player to a congressional hearing with Ghislaine Maxwell. Additionally, the Trump administration announced plans to cut health funding from several states, and investigations continued into a missing person case and a cruise ship death.
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Keion White was the victim of a non-life-threatening shooting early Monday morning in San Francisco, according to a statement released by the team. The San Francisco Police Department reported that officers responded to a shooting at a business on the 1700 block of Mission Street around 4:06 a.m. Upon arrival, officers found White with an apparent gunshot wound in his ankle.
In other news, Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein, refused to answer questions from the US House Oversight Committee on Monday. Maxwell appeared virtually for a closed-door deposition from a Texas prison where she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Republican House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer stated that "as expected", Maxwell pleaded the Fifth Amendment, invoking her right to remain silent. "This is obviously very disappointing," he said. "We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein co-committed."
The Trump administration also announced plans to rescind $600 million in public health funds from four states led by Democrats, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times. The programs slated to be cut are in California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota. These cuts include grants to state and local public health departments and some nongovernmental organizations. The funds are administered through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and are used for various purposes, including hiring staff, modernizing data systems, and managing disease outbreaks. A list of the cuts was shared with relevant congressional committees on Monday.
Meanwhile, investigations continue into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. A source close to the Guthrie family pushed back on reports that she was scheduled to attend church on the day she went missing, according to Fox News. The source clarified that the family had reported that Guthrie was expected at a friend’s home. Former Miami-Dade Police Detective Wayne Black and retired NYPD detective Michael Alcazar analyzed Savannah Guthrie's video asking the public for help to find her mother, Nancy Guthrie on 'The Story.'
Finally, the stepbrother of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who died aboard a Carnival cruise ship in November, appeared in federal court in Miami on Friday. The teenager shared a cabin with Kepner on the cruise. Anna Kepner's grandmother, Barbara Kepner, spoke out in a new interview more than two weeks after the 18-year-old died on a Carnival cruise ship.
