A body has been found on the grounds of the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix for the second time in less than two weeks, according to authorities.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials said the body was discovered Monday morning in the west parking lot of the Capitol.
Public Safety officials are working to identify the body and how it ended up at the Capitol’s premises.
On July 26, another body was found outside the Capitol by Phoenix police. DPS, which has jurisdiction over state Capitol property, is investigating that case as well. The identity of that individual, as well as their cause of death, hasn't yet been released.
DPS didn’t immediately return a call seeking information about the two cases.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed a federal lawsuit against Rep. Jim Jordan on Tuesday, accusing the Republican of a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” him over his prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
Nashville’s governing council voted Monday to send Justin Jones straight back to the Legislature four days after he was expelled for his role in a protest on the state House floor.
The Justice Department is calling a Texas court ruling that would halt approval of the most commonly used method of abortion in the U.S. "extraordinary and unprecedented."
Nashville city councilors will likely appoint Justin Jones to his former seat on Monday while Memphis-area county commissioners will soon announce when they'll meet to fill the vacancy left by the expulsion of Justin Pearson, which Pearson himself is eligible to fill.
Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said "Everything is on the table" when asked if he'd recommend that the FDA ignore Friday's ruling to reverse the agency's nearly 23-year-old approval of the medication abortion drug mifepristone.
