In a pretrial hearing for Luigi Mangione, prosecutors showed video of his arrest inside a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania and played a 911 call made by the store’s manager. Mangione’s lawyers are trying to get evidence obtained at the McDonald’s thrown out, arguing police did not have a warrant and did not read Mangione his Miranda rights quickly enough. NBC News’ Stephanie Gosk reports.

Dec. 1, 2025, 9:42 PM ESTBy Dennis RomeroThe National Guard member hospitalized in critical condition after a fellow guard member was fatally shot near the White House is improving, West Virginia’s governor said Monday.Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, of the West Virginia Air National Guard, has shown signs of improvement, including responding to a nurse’s request that he display thumbs-up, Gov. Patrick Morrisey said at a news conference.”We were told that he also wiggled his toes,” he said. “So we take that as a positive sign.”Wolfe was hospitalized in critical condition after the attack Wednesday, which that killed Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, of the West Virginia Army National Guard. President Donald Trump said the following day that Wolfe was “fighting for his life.” Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, the National Guard members who were shot Wednesday blocks from the White House.Nathan Howard / ReutersOn Monday, Morrisey described Wolfe, who is from Martinsburg, as being in serious condition but cautioned against using his update as a definitive medical evaluation. “I’m not the doctor,” he said.Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, is accused in the deadly attack near the White House. Lakanwal, an Afghan national who worked to support U.S. troops in Afghanistan, immigrated to the United States in 2021, under President Joe Biden, and was granted asylum during Trump’s second term.Lakanwal, who was injured, remained hospitalized, officials said. He will be charged with first-degree murder, Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., said last week.In the wake of the attack, the White House said it would halt all asylum decisions and pause issuing visas for people traveling on Afghan passports.D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said the shooting “appeared to target these guardsmen.” Both were among the first deployed to the district in August under Trump’s aggressive crime-fighting plan that federalized the D.C. police force. After the shooting, the Trump administration ordered 500 more National Guard troops to be deployed to D.C. Morrisey said that none were requested from West Virginia this time but that the roughly 170 from his state who remain in the city are doing so voluntarily.He said Wolfe’s family, whom he called “wonderful people,” are asking the public to pray for their son. “The mom has been such a positive force,” he said. “She has been asking people across the country to pray for her son. Those prayers are working.”Morrisey said Beckstrom’s family is finalizing memorial arrangements. She was a member of the West Virginia National Guard’s 863rd Military Police Company, according to an Army National Guard statement. She enlisted in June 2023, it said.Over the weekend, multiple events to honor the shooting victims took place across West Virginia and beyond. They included events at churches, on military bases and at the West Virginia high schools both attended. A ceremony was also held Monday at the 130th Airlift Wing headquarters at McLaughlin Air National Guard Base in Charleston, according to the West Virginia National Guard.Maj. Gen. Jim Seward, the state’s adjutant general, said in a video statement Sunday: “Both of these guardsmen have served with honor and distinction. They represent the very best of America.”On Sunday, Trump said he invited the families of both victims to the White House. “I said, ‘When you’re ready,’ because that’s a tough thing,” he said.Dennis RomeroDennis Romero is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.The Associated Press contributed.

Oct. 16, 2025, 5:46 PM EDT / Updated Oct. 16, 2025, 6:01 PM EDTBy Aria BendixPresident Donald Trump on Thursday announced two policy changes aimed at making in vitro fertilization more affordable — a long-awaited follow-up to his pledges to require health insurers to cover IVF services and to an executive order aimed at lowering the cost of fertility treatments.However, the announcement was not a new rule that insurers must cover IVF. Rather, the Trump administration said that the White House has negotiated with two specialty pharmacies and a drug manufacturer to lower the cost of a commonly prescribed fertility drug that stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs.Additionally, the administration announced forthcoming guidance from the Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services departments that will help employers offer fertility benefits outside of major medical health insurance plans, the same way they offer dental, vision or life insurance. “We want to make it easier for all couples to have babies, raise children and start the families they have always dreamed about,” Trump said at a briefing in the Oval Office. The bulk of Thursday’s announcement focused on discounted fertility medications from drugmaker EMD Serono, which is part of the pharmaceutical giant Merck. The company said it would make its IVF drugs available at a lower cost through TrumpRx, a direct-to-consumer website operated by the federal government, starting in early 2026. “We are proud to announce that Americans will have access to our leading IVF therapies for an 84% discount off list prices,” Libby Horne, head of U.S. fertility at EMD Serono, said.Most IVF patients in the U.S. pay out of pocket for treatment, according to KFF, a nonprofit research group. Among the discounted drugs is a commonly used medication called Gonal-f, which some IVF patients take in the form of daily injections for roughly one or two weeks.Lab staff prepare small petri dishes, each holding several embryos, for cells to be extracted from each embryo to test for viability in Houston in 2024.Michael Wyke / AP fileSenior administration officials said the specialty pharmacies involved in the deal, CVS Specialty and Express Scripts’ Freedom Fertility — which they estimated account for more than 80% of the distribution of Gonal-f — agreed to reduce their expenses associated with the drug’s handling.“Upwards of 40% of the cost of IVF comes from the specialty drugs used for this treatment. Reducing these costs can have a significant impact on affordability and access,” Dr. Roger Shedlin, CEO of the fertility benefits company WIN, said in a statement.Trump’s announcement came after months of relative silence from the White House on which policies it was considering to expand IVF access. The executive order he issued in February had called for recommendations for “protecting IVF access and aggressively reducing out-of-pocket and health plan costs for IVF treatment.” Trump received a list of those recommendations in May.The new deal is part of Trump’s broader effort to bring the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. more in line with the lowest prices charged in other wealthy countries — what’s known as the “most favored nation” pricing model.The White House has not yet negotiated lower prices on IVF drugs from other manufacturers.Sean Tipton, chief advocacy and policy officer at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, which represents IVF providers, called the announcement a “crucial first step,” but said it still doesn’t go far enough to boost affordability.“One executive action cannot, on its own, ensure that every patient who needs IVF — which for some represents the only option to have a child — can access it,” he said.For now, senior administration officials said, medications made by EMD Serono will be discounted on TrumpRx at varying levels depending on a buyer’s income. Patients earning below 550% of the federal poverty level will be eligible for the more significant discount, the officials said.Trump campaigned last year on expanding IVF access, referring to himself at the time as the “father of IVF.” However, some conservatives and anti-abortion groups see IVF as unethical because the process often involves discarding embryos that have genetic issues or aren’t needed. The Washington Post reported in August that the administration had veered away from the idea of an IVF coverage requirement for health insurers.EMD Serono is seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration for another fertility drug, Pergoveris, which is approved in Europe but not the U.S. Administration officials said on Thursday the FDA intends to give that application priority review status, which would expedite the process.Aria BendixAria Bendix is the breaking health reporter for NBC News Digital.
