5 Things To Know For Your New Day-Wednesday July 12th

Donald Trump Jr.’s e-mails Undermine What The White House Has Been Saying:

Donald Trump’s defenders have always argued that the entire notion his campaign colluded with Russia was all smoke and no fire.

That may not cut it anymore.

The President’s son and namesake, in a sensational revelation that significantly escalated the drama over alleged Russian election meddling incessantly battering the White House, may have provided the flames by releasing an email chain that detailed his expectations of getting Kremlin dirt on Hillary Clinton in a meeting he had with a Russian lawyer last year.

How Much Legal Trouble Is Donald Trump Jr. In?:

Newly released emails related to Donald Trump Jr.’s June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer to gather damaging information on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ratchet up the possible legal liability for the President’s son and other campaign operatives involved with the Russians last year.

The latest emails could relate most directly to federal campaign finance law barring the solicitation of any contribution or “thing of value” from foreign nationals.

Legal analysts also raise the possibility of perjury, for example, if Trump Jr. or anyone else involved earlier denied any Russian meeting to federal investigators. Anyone who made a false statement to federal investigators about the meeting, including a material omission on government personnel paperwork, could be in serious jeopardy. It is not clear that he has made any statements under oath related to the Russian interference in the election.

Beachgoers Form A Human Chain To Save A Family Trapped In A R

A family stuck in a rip current narrowly avoided a tragedy when a crowd of strangers linked together to bring them back to land.

Nine beachgoers, including two children and an elderly woman, were trapped in the current at Panama City Beach in Florida on Saturday. Bystanders on the shore saw them yelling and waving their arms, and they jumped into action.

“I saw a group of people, a few at first, and then more and more, start forming a human chain,” witness Rosalind Beckton told CNN.

The chain grew to around 70 to 80 strangers, all holding hands and stretching to reach the trapped group. All of the swimmers made it out.

Robinson Cano Home Run Hands AL Extra-Innings Win in 2017 MLB All-Star Game

Home-field advantage in the World Series wasn’t up for grabs, but the 2017 MLB All-Star Game still proved to be a thrilling affair, and the American League broke a deadlock in the top of the 10th inning to capture a 2-1 win over the National League on Tuesday night at Marlins Park in Miami.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano played hero and sewed up MVP honors, taking Chicago Cubs closer Wade Davis deep after the NL left runners on second and third in the bottom of the ninth inning:

What’s The Best Time Of Day To Exercise?

Some fitness gurus recommend working out first thing in the morning because that’s when you’re least likely to have scheduling conflicts and therefore more likely to exercise regularly. Plus, early exercisers often say that a morning routine leaves them feeling more energized and productive during the day.

But if you are not a morning person and shudder at the thought of getting out of bed for a 6 a.m. workout, I have good news: We perform best at exercise (especially high-intensity exercise) later in the day.

Research shows that strength and flexibility are greatest in the late afternoon and that perceived exertion — meaning how hard you feel that your body is working — is lowest. Scientists attribute these effects to our circadian rhythm, the body’s 24-hour clock, which causes body temperature to rise slightly throughout the day and peak in late afternoon.
