Democrats demand U.S. investigation of American's death in West Bank
Nearly 30 Senate Democrats are urging the Trump administration to investigate the recent death of an American citizen in the West Bank. In a letter addressed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday, the senators criticized what they labeled a 'culture of impunity when it comes to incidents where civilians have been killed in the West Bank, including Americans.' Sayfollah Kamel Musallet, 20, of Tampa, was killed July 11 while visiting family in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian health authorities and Musallet's family have said Israeli settlers are responsible for his death. Shortly after Musallet was killed, the Israel Defense Forces said it was examining reports of a death during a confrontation between Israelis and Palestinians in the area. Spokespeople for the Israeli embassy in Washington and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The State Department declined to comment. The senators' letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post, was signed by 29 lawmakers, accounting for more than half of the chamber's Democrats. No Republicans have joined the effort. Three other Palestinian Americans have died in the West Bank since the Israel-Gaza war began in October 2023. Democratic members of Congress have objected to the wave of settler violence, arguing that American citizens are falling victim. The U.S. government 'has failed in its responsibility to protect American citizens overseas and demand justice for their deaths,' the letter states. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland), the letter's lead author, has called for similar investigations in the past. He has emerged as a vocal critic of settler violence and the Israeli government's response to it. His office shared responses to similar requests made of the Biden administration, which show officials offered little further information about the deaths but committed to speaking with Israel's government about them. At a Senate hearing earlier this month to evaluate President Donald Trump's nomination of Michael Waltz, the former White House national security adviser, to become ambassador to the United Nations, Van Hollen criticized the Trump administration's decision to revoke sanctions imposed by the Biden administration targeting Israeli settlers in the West Bank whom the U.S. government at the time deemed extremists. 'When you withdrew that executive order, you sent a very bad signal,' Van Hollen said then. An April analysis by the Washington Institute, a think tank, found that Israeli settler violence has surged in the last year, rising 30 percent in the first part of the year, compared with the same period the year before. Meanwhile, Palestinian terrorism in the same area has sharply declined, the analysis found. 'The increase in settler violence at a time when Palestinian terrorism is decreasing lends credence to the assessment that settler attacks are not simply a response to terrorism, as some have claimed,' the study's author, Neomi Neumann, wrote. The Trump administration has taken a complicated approach to Israel since entering office in January. At times, it has shown frustration with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu for the inability to reach a peace deal in Gaza, which has been afflicted by violence and famine nearly two years into the war. Notwithstanding, top Israeli officials have visited Washington multiple times in the last six months, and Trump authorized the U.S. military to join Israeli forces in an attack on Iran's nuclear program in mid-June, fulfilling one of Netanyahu's core priorities. Heidi Levine, Miriam Berger and Marie-Rose Sheinerman contributed to this report.

UnitedHealth Group says it's cooperating with DOJ Medicare probe
Attorney General Pam Bondi speaks during a press briefing in June. UnitedHealth said its facing an investigation from the Department of Justice about its Medicare billing practices. Photo by Yuri Gripas/UPI | License Photo July 24 (UPI) -- UnitedHealth Group said Thursday it is facing Department of Justice investigations over its Medicare billing practices. UnitedHealth Group said in a statement on its website that it reached out to the DOJ after seeing media reports about investigations into its Medicare program. "(UnitedHealth) has now begun complying with formal criminal and civil requests from the Department. The Company has full confidence in its practices and is committed to working cooperatively with the Department throughout this process," the statement said. The insurer said it's launching its own investigation. "To provide our stakeholders transparency and confidence (UnitedHealth) ... has proactively launched its own initiative to conduct third party reviews of policies, practices, and associated processes and performance metrics for risk assessment coding, managed care practices, and pharmacy services." The company told CNBC that it expects to complete that review near the end of the third quarter. The Wall Street Journal reported in May that the Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into UHC for Medicare fraud. The company said it stands "by the integrity of our Medicare Advantage program." The Journal reported in July that the DOJ interviewed doctors about UnitedHealth's practices and asked if they felt pressured to submit claims for certain conditions that bolstered payments from the Medicare Advantage program. "(UnitedHealth) is committed to maintaining the integrity of its business practices and serving as reliable stewards of American tax dollars," UnitedHealth said. This is just the latest setback for the country's largest health insurer. Shares are down more than 42%, its CEO Andrew Witty left the company in May, it suffered a ransomware attack in early 2024, and then CEO Brian Thompson was killed in December 2024 by alleged shooter Luigi Mangione, which sparked significant public outrage against the company.

Trump administration abandons proposed tractor-trailer speed limit rule
The Department of Transportation on Thursday withdrew a proposed rule to mandate speed limiters on heavy vehicles. The Obama administration in 2016 initially proposed the requirement that trucks be equipped with a speed-limiting device. The rule was set to impact vehicles with a gross weight of over 26,000 pounds and would limit them to a traveling speed of 65 mph. The proposal was reaffirmed in 2022 by the Biden administration. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a June press release that the device is not only an 'inconvenience' but a hazard for drivers when they are forced to go slower than the flow of traffic. The move is a part of a broader package endorsed by Duffy to alter truck driver regulations. Additional changes include a mandate requiring all drivers to speak English and a more than $275 million investment initiative tied to grant funding for expanded parking access. 'While the country sleeps, truckers grind through the night to help keep shelves stocked, families fed, and businesses humming. It's a job that requires grit and dedication,' Duffy said last month. 'But for too long Washington, DC has made work harder for truckers. That ends today. Thanks to President Trump, we're getting Washington out of your trucks and your business.'
