Prosecutors say they're seeking a four-to five-year prison sentence for Sean "Diddy" Combs. A New York jury found Combs guilty of transporting people for prostitution, but not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, so he could be released on bond until sentencing. In court today, prosecutors told the judge the sentencing guidelines range from 51-to-63 months.        Procedural votes to advance President Donald Trump's massive spending bill are taking place in the House. An hour of debate on the legislation will take place following the votes, but it appears to be stalled on the house floor currently. The bill squeaked through the Senate Tuesday with Vice President Vance forced to cast the tie breaking vote.        Bryan Kohberger has pleaded guilty to the fatal stabbing of four University of Idaho students. In a Boise court today, Kohberger sat motionless while he accepted a plea deal that takes the death penalty off the table for the 2022 murders. He only spoke the single words, "yes" and "no," as the judge went through the plea.        The deportation process for the family of the Colorado terror attack suspect can continue. A U.S. district judge in Texas on Wednesday denied a petition for the release of Mohamed Soliman's wife and five children, who are originally from Egypt. Soliman is accused of killing one person and injuring more nearly 30 people in early June when he allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at a crowd marching in support of Israeli hostages being held by Hamas.        Severe weather in the eastern half of the U.S. could cause trouble for Fourth of July travelers. The Mid-Atlantic region has dealt with thunderstorms as heavy rains have led to flooding in Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Today, storm conditions are being seen along the coast of the Carolinas down to Georgia.        The action is heating up at Wimbledon. Earlier today, American Frances Tiafoe lost in four sets in a second round match. American Taylor Fritz is in action today, two seed Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the third round in straight sets. On the women's side, American Madison Keys advanced after winning in straight sets, while Naomi Osaka was victorious in straight sets.
