President Trump remains undecided on a U.S. strike on Iran. He met with his national security team today to discuss possible next moves in the Iran-Israel conflict. Trump also said he may meet with Iranian leaders at the White House, adding "We'll see what happens."        Karen Read has been found not guilty of killing her Boston cop boyfriend. Her lawyers argued she was being framed by police for his death. The jury found Read not guilty on second-degree murder and manslaughter charges, but did find her guilty of driving under the influence.        Interest rates are being held steady by the Federal Reserve. This marks the fourth straight time the Central Banks have kept rates steady. Rates will remain high and hover between four-and-a-quarter and four-and-a-half percent.        A Tennessee law restricting gender transition care for minors is being upheld by the Supreme Court. In what is being viewed as a major setback for transgender rights, the 6-3 ruling from the court will likely cause widespread impact as 24 other states have similar laws to the one in Tennessee. The law bans gender transition surgery, puberty blockers and hormone therapy.        Hurricane Erick has strengthened into a Category 2 storm in the Eastern Pacific. The storm has sustained winds of almost 100 miles per hour as it continues on its path toward Mexico. According to the National Hurricane Center, it's expected to intensify before making landfall on the southern Mexican coast by tonight and could reach major hurricane status.        Bruce Springsteen fans are getting their first look at his upcoming biopic starring Jeremy Allen White. The first trailer for "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere" dropped today. It's based on the book that details Springsteen's time making the 1982 album "Nebraska."
