From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! We've covered lots of leadoff developing stories, but the ones who are strange in their own way are the most fascinating.
Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:
1. Police are investigating after a man with a samurai sword was shot and killed in a liquor store on Long Island. The incident was reported at Port Jeff Liquors in the 150 block of East Main Street just after 2 p.m. Officials say an employee called 911 to report a man entered the store and was swinging the sword when the store owner shot the man.
2. Manhattan’s top prosecutor is pushing back against the Justice Department in a legal battle over President Trump’s tax returns.
3. New York’s attorney general is suing a loan servicer that handles a student loan forgiveness program for public service workers over how the program has been managed.
