Biden's library team has the daunting task of raising money for the 46th president's legacy project at a moment when his party has become fragmented. WASHINGTON — Former President Joe Biden has decided to build his presidential library in Delaware and has tapped a group of former aides, friends and political allies to begin the heavy lift of fundraising and finding a site for the museum and archive. The Joe and Jill Biden Foundation this past week approved a 13-person governance board that is charged with steering the project. The board includes former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, longtime adviser Steve Ricchetti, prolific Democratic fundraiser Rufus Gifford and others with deep ties to the one-term president and his wife. Biden's library team has the daunting task of raising money for the 46th president's legacy project at a moment when his party has become fragmented about the way ahead and many big Democratic donors have stopped writing checks. It also remains to be seen whether corporations and institutional donors that have historically donated to presidential library projects — regardless of the party of the former president — will be more hesitant to contribute, with President Donald Trump maligning Biden on a daily basis and savaging groups he deems left-leaning. The political climate has changed “There’s certainly folks — folks who may have been not thinking about those kinds of issues who are starting to think about them,” Gifford, who was named chairman of the library board, told The Associated Press. “That being said ... we’re not going to create a budget, we’re not going to set a goal for ourselves that we don’t believe we can hit.” The cost of presidential libraries has soared over the decades. The George H.W. Bush library's construction cost came in at about $43 million when it opened in 1997. Bill Clinton's cost about $165 million. George W. Bush's team met its $500 million fundraising goal before the library was dedicated. The Obama Foundation has set a whopping $1.6 billion fundraising goal for construction, sustaining global programming and seeding an endowment for the Chicago presidential center that is slated to open next year. Biden's library team is still in the early stages of planning, but Gifford predicted that the cost of the project would probably “end up somewhere in the middle” of the Obama Presidential Center and the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. Biden advisers have met with officials operating 12 of the 13 presidential libraries with a bricks and mortar presence that the National Archives and Records Administration manages. (They skipped the Herbert Hoover library in Iowa, which is closed for renovations). They've also met Obama library officials to discuss programming and location considerations and have begun talks with Delaware leaders to assess potential partnerships. Private money builds them Construction and support for programming for the libraries are paid for with private funds donated to the nonprofit organizations established by the former president. The initial vision is for the Biden library to include an immersive museum detailing Biden's four years in office. The Bidens also want it to be a hub for leadership, service and civic engagement that will include educational and event space to host policy gatherings. Biden, who ended his bid for a second White House term 107 days before last year's election, has been relatively slow to move on presidential library planning compared with most of his recent predecessors. Clinton announced Little Rock, Arkansas, would host his library weeks into his second term. Barack Obama selected Jackson Park on Chicago's South Side as the site for his presidential center before he left office, and George W. Bush selected Southern Methodist University in Dallas before finishing his second term. One-termer George H.W. Bush announced in 1991, more than a year before he would lose his reelection bid, that he would establish his presidential library at Texas A&M University after he left office. Trump taps legal settlements for his Trump was mostly quiet about plans for a presidential library after losing to Biden in 2020 and has remained so since his return to the White House this year. But the Republican has won millions of dollars in lawsuits against Paramount Global, ABC News, Meta and X in which parts of those settlements are directed for a future Trump library. Trump has also accepted a free Air Force One replacement from the Qatar government. He says the $400 million plane would be donated to his future presidential library, similar to how the Boeing 707 used by President Ronald Reagan was decommissioned and put on display as a museum piece, once he leaves office. Others named to Biden's library board are former senior White House aides Elizabeth Alexander, Julissa Reynoso Pantaleón and Cedric Richmond; David Cohen, a former ambassador to Canada and telecom executive; Tatiana Brandt Copeland, a Delaware philanthropist; Jeff Peck, Biden Foundation treasurer and former Senate aide; Fred C. Sears II, Biden's longtime friend; former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh; former Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young; and former Delaware Gov. Jack Markell. Biden has deep ties to Pennsylvania but ultimately settled on Delaware, the state that was the launching pad for his political career. He was first elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970 and spent 36 years representing Delaware in the Senate before serving as Obama's vice president. The president was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he lived until age 10. He left when his father, struggling to make ends meet, moved the family to Delaware after landing a job there selling cars. Working-class Scranton became a touchstone in Biden's political narrative during his long political career. He also served as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania after his vice presidency, leading a center on diplomacy and global engagement at the school named after him. Gifford said ultimately the Bidens felt that Delaware was where the library should be because the state has “propelled his entire political career." Elected officials in Delaware are cheering Biden's move. “To Delaware, he will always be our favorite son,” Gov. Matt Meyer said. “The new presidential library here in Delaware will give future generations the chance to see his story of resilience, family, and never forgetting your roots.” Copyright 2025 Associated Press.

Trump was uninjured, and there’s no evidence that Routh fired his weapon at the golf course where he was playing. FORT PIERCE, Fla. — A federal trial is scheduled to begin Monday for a man charged with trying to assassinate Donald Trump as he played golf in Florida in September 2024. Jury selection is expected to take three days, with attorneys questioning three sets of 60 prospective jurors. They’re trying to find 12 jurors and four alternates. Opening statements are scheduled to begin Thursday, and prosecutors will begin their case immediately after that. The court has blocked off four weeks for the trial, but attorneys are expecting they’ll need less time. Here’s what to know about the case. The judge lets Routh represent himself U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon signed off in July on Ryan Routh’s request to represent himself during his trial, but said court-appointed attorneys need to remain as standby counsel. The judge told Routh she believes it’s a bad idea for Routh to represent himself, but he wouldn’t be dissuaded. Routh, who has described the extent of his education as two years of college after earning his GED certificate, told Cannon that he understood the potential challenges and would be ready. Cannon confirmed during a hearing earlier this week that Routh would be dressed in professional business attire for the trial. She also explained to Routh that he would be allowed to use a podium while speaking to the jury or questioning witnesses, but he would not have free rein of the courtroom. “If you make any sudden movements, marshals will take decisive and quick action to respond,” Cannon said. Routh is a self-styled mercenary leader The 59-year-old Routh was a North Carolina construction worker who in recent years had moved to Hawaii. A self-styled mercenary leader, Routh spoke out to anyone who would listen about his dangerous, sometimes violent plans to insert himself into conflicts around the world, witnesses have told The Associated Press. In the early days of the war in Ukraine, Routh tried to recruit soldiers from Afghanistan, Moldova and Taiwan to fight the Russians. In his native Greensboro, North Carolina, he had a 2002 arrest for eluding a traffic stop and barricading himself from officers with a fully automatic machine gun and a “weapon of mass destruction,” which turned out to be an explosive with a 10-inch-long fuse. In 2010, police searched a warehouse Routh owned and found more than 100 stolen items, from power tools and building supplies to kayaks and spa tubs. In both felony cases, judges gave Routh either probation or a suspended sentence. Routh is charged with attempted assassination Authorities said Routh tried to assassinate Trump, the Republican nominee for presidential, while he played golf at his golf club in West Palm Beach. Routh is facing five felony counts in federal court in Fort Pierce. They include attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate; possessing a firearm to carry out a violent crime; assaulting a federal officer; felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition; and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. In addition to the federal charges, Routh also has pleaded not guilty to state charges of terrorism and attempted murder. Same judge presided over Trump case Cannon is the same judge who presided over another high-profile case involving Trump — the classified documents case. Last year, Cannon sided with Trump’s lawyers who said the special counsel who filed the charges was illegally appointed by the U.S. Justice Department. Cannon’s ruling halted a criminal case that at the time it was filed was widely regarded as the most perilous of all the legal threats the president faced before he returned to office last January. Cannon was a former federal prosecutor who was nominated to the bench by Trump in 2020. Trump was not hurt by Routh Trump was uninjured, and there’s no evidence that Routh fired his weapon at the golf course. U.S. Secret Service agents stationed a few holes up from where Trump was playing golf noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course, roughly 400 yards away. An agent fired, and the gunman dropped the rifle and fled in an SUV, leaving the firearm behind along with two backpacks, a scope used for aiming and a GoPro camera. He was later stopped by law enforcement in a neighboring county. Last September’s alleged assassination attempt took place just nine weeks after Trump survived another attempt on his life in Pennsylvania. Copyright 2025 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

The Salvadoran man lived in Maryland for more than a decade before he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador earlier this year. WASHINGTON — Attorneys for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a Friday letter that they intend to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the African nation of Eswatini after he expressed a fear of deportation to Uganda. The letter from ICE to Abrego Garcia's attorneys was earlier reported by Fox News. It states that his fear of persecution or torture in Uganda is “hard to take seriously, especially given that you have claimed (through your attorneys) that you fear persecution or torture in at least 22 different countries. ...Nonetheless, we hereby notify you that your new country of removal is Eswatini.” Eswatini’s government spokesperson told The Associated Press on Saturday that it had no received no communication regarding Abrego Garcia’s transfer there. The Salvadoran man lived in Maryland for more than a decade before he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador earlier this year. That set off a series of contentious court battles that have turned his case into a test of the limits of President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies. Although Abrego Garcia immigrated to the U.S. illegally around the year 2011, when he was a teenager, he has an American wife and child. A 2019 immigration court order barred his deportation to his native El Salvador, finding he had a credible fear of threats from gangs there. He was deported anyway in March — in what a government attorney said was an administrative error — and held in the country's notorious Terrorism Confinement Center. Facing a court order, the Trump administration returned him to the U.S. in June only to charge him with human smuggling based on a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee. While that court case is ongoing, ICE now seeks to deport him again. For his part, Abrego Garcia is requesting asylum in the United States. He was denied asylum in 2019 because his request came more than a year after he arrived in the U.S., his attorney Simon Sandoval-Mosenberg has said. Since he was deported and has now re-entered the U.S., the attorney said he is now eligible for asylum. “If Mr. Abrego Garcia is allowed a fair trial in immigration court, there’s no way he’s not going to prevail on his claim,” he said in an emailed statement. As part of his asylum claim, Abrego Garcia expressed a fear of deportation to Uganda and “nearly two dozen” other countries, according an ICE court filing in opposition to reopening his asylum case. That Thursday filing also states that if the case is reopened, the 2019 order barring his deportation to El Salvador would become void and the government would pursue his removal to that country.

'We have seen a lot of fear." The Consulate addresses ICE raid concerns when celebrating Hispanic heritage. MEXAM NW kicks off Sept. 6 across Western Washington. SEATTLE — MEXAM Northwest events for the 2025 celebrations officially kick off Saturday, Sept. 6, with two events. Fiesta de la Familia will run from noon to 6 p.m. at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood. It's free to attend, but an RSVP is recommended. In Seattle, Yuri will perform at the Moore Theatre on Friday, Sept. 12. The concert starts at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here. Several events will take place almost every day in October.  Celebrating Mexican American culture is part of what it means to recognize Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. The head consul of the Mexican Consulate, Héctor Iván Godoy, joined KING 5 Weekend Mornings to talk about the excitement surrounding this year's festival, but also addresses concerns they've heard from Hispanic community members since an uptick of ICE raids or detainments. To watch the full sit-down interview, click the video player above. One of the aspects of the 2025 MEXAM Northwest Godoy is looking forward to most is the MEXART Mural Project. The Consulate of Mexico in Seattle and the City of Seattle's One Seattle Graffiti Plan Initiative will collaborate to present the massive project. The initiative will feature 10 acclaimed Mexican and Mexican-American artists from the Pacific Northwest, transforming Seattle’s cultural landscape with public art, including themes of migration and belonging. "Right now, more than ever, it's important to be out in public with Mexican art," Godoy said. "Ten renowned Mexican artists design murals at the U-District. They're going to be doing it live. That is to say, for a handful of days, they're going to be working live." The featured artists include: B Line Dot, theydrift, Cristina Martinez, Esmeralda Andrea Vasquez, Periko the Artist, Jake Prendez, Jose Rodriguez III, Marisol Ortega, Rene Julio, and Víctor Meléndez. This year's poster art was once again designed by Meléndez. The festival's theme is celebrating the strength of indigenous women. The main art features "La Adelita" or "La Soldadera." The design represents the women, many of whom were indigenous, who traveled and fought alongside men during the Mexican Revolution. The legend of La Adelita was honored in songs, movies, and dances. "El Grito de Independencia" (cry of independence) concert will be held on Sunday, Sept. 14, at Town Hall in Seattle. The event will run from 1 to 5 p.m. to celebrate Mexico's Independence and kick off the heritage month. Mexico's official independence day is on Sept. 16. To see the full calendar of events, click here. Concerns amid recent ICE raids and detainments The aforementioned MEXAM NW events and others slated to take place across Washington state are accompanied by concerns within the local Hispanic communities. "This is a moment of reflection," Godoy said. KING 5 has received comments and questions from viewers regarding possible detainments happening at or near upcoming Hispanic Heritage Month events.  In some cases, people told KING 5 that while they have proper documentation, they're still fearful of mistaken identity and wrongful detainment, which could be a traumatizing situation for the individual and their families. Godoy confirmed the consulate has received similar concerns and questions about rights. "Only the individual can really take stock of their personal situation," Godoy said. "We encourage those who need to be safe and cautious at the moment to do so. It may not be the right time for them to participate in these events, and there will be online streams for many of these events. The reality is, we have seen a lot of fear at the moment. This fear, I think it’s quite legitimate for many people, but this does mean only the person can take stock of what’s not just best for themselves but for their families." The Consulate of Mexico in Seattle regularly shares "know your rights" information and updates on its Facebook and Instagram profiles.

The Oct. 4 event will take over Gas Works Park in Seattle. Teams leading fundraising efforts hope to fuel local research and patient support. SEATTLE — Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading cancers in the United States.  This year alone, the American Cancer Society estimates that 154,270 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with colon and rectal cancer. Of those diagnosed, nearly 53,000 will die from the disease. The number of people who have died from colorectal cancer has steadily decreased since the mid-1980s due to increased screening and changing lifestyles. These statistics are part of the reasons thousands of people have gathered to Walk to End Colon Cancer every year in Seattle. The 2025 walk is set for Saturday, Oct. 4, at Gas Works Park.  Two walk committee members, Shannon Davidson and Jonathan Shaw, who are also survivors, stopped by KING 5 Weekend Mornings to talk about this year's inspirations. Organizers say the walk is critical to fund the Colorectal Cancer Alliance's life-saving programs to raise awareness, provide support, and fund research. According to the Alliance, most people should begin colorectal cancer screenings at age 45. The latest recommendations from the American Cancer Society also encourage earlier screenings if you have a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors. Fundraising is not required, but it is encouraged. Teams leading fundraising efforts hope to fuel local research and patient support. To get a walk T-shirt, each individual (youth or adult) must raise $100 or more by the event. All survivors will receive a special survivor shirt regardless of fundraising amount. All registered participants who raise more than $50 by Oct. 3 will be entered into a drawing to win two glass seats at a Kraken game. To register for the walk or donate, click here.

The new data exposed the widening gap between the booming economy Trump promised and the more anemic reality of what he’s managed to deliver so far. WASHINGTON — The U.S. job market has gone from healthy to lethargic during President Donald Trump’s first seven months back in the White House, as hiring has collapsed and inflation has started to climb once again as his tariffs take hold. Friday's jobs report showed employers added a mere 22,000 jobs in August, as the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3%. Factories and construction firms shed workers. Revisions showed the economy lost 13,000 jobs in June, the first monthly losses since December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The new data exposed the widening gap between the booming economy Trump promised and the more anemic reality of what he’s managed to deliver so far. The White House prides itself on operating at a breakneck speed, but it’s now asking the American people for patience, with Trump saying better job numbers might be a year away. “We’re going to win like you’ve never seen,” Trump said Friday. “Wait until these factories start to open up that are being built all over the country, you’re going to see things happen in this country that nobody expects.” The plea for patience has done little to comfort Americans, as economic issues that had been a strength for Trump for a decade have evolved into a persistent weakness. Approval of Trump’s economic leadership hit 56% in early 2020 during his first term, but that figure was 38% in July of this year, according to polling by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The situation has left Trump searching for others to blame, while Democrats say the problem begins and ends with him. Trump maintained Friday that the economy would be adding jobs if Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell had slashed benchmark interest rates, even though doing so to the degree that Trump wants could ignite higher inflation. Investors expect a rate cut by the Fed at its next meeting in September, although that’s partially because of weakening job numbers. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Trump’s tariffs and freewheeling policies were breaking the economy and the jobs report proved it. “This is a blaring red light warning to the entire country that Donald Trump is squeezing the life out of our economy,” Schumer said. By many measures, Trump has dug himself into a hole on the economy as its performance has yet to come anywhere close to his hype. — Trump in 2024 suggested that deporting immigrants in the country illegally would protect “Black jobs.” But the Black unemployment rate has climbed to 7.5%, the highest since October 2021, as the Trump administration has engaged in aggressive crackdowns on immigration. — At his April tariffs announcement, Trump said, “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country and you see it happening already.” Since April, manufacturers have cut 42,000 jobs and builders have downsized by 8,000. — Trump said in his inaugural address that the “liquid gold” of oil would make the nation wealthy as he pivoted the economy to fossil fuels. But the logging and mining sectors — which includes oil and natural gas — have shed 12,000 jobs since January. While gasoline prices are lower, the Energy Information Administration in August estimated that crude oil production, the source of the wealth promised by Trump, would fall next year by an average of 100,000 barrels a day. — At 2024 rallies, Trump promised to “end” inflation on “day one” and halve electricity prices within 12 months. Consumer prices have climbed from a 2.3% annual increase in April to 2.7% in July. Electricity costs are up 4.6% so far this year. The Trump White House maintains that the economy is on the cusp of breakout growth, with its new import taxes poised to raise hundreds of billions of dollars annually if they can withstand court challenges. At a Thursday night dinner with executives and founders from companies including Apple, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Meta, Trump said the facilities being built to develop artificial intelligence would deliver “jobs numbers like our country has never seen before” at some point “a year from now.” But Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, noted that Trump’s promise that strong job growth is ahead contradicts his unsubstantiated claims that recent jobs data was faked to embarrass him. That accusation prompted him to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics last month after the massive downward revisions in the July jobs report. Strain said it’s rational for the administration to say better times are coming, but doing so seems to undermine Trump’s allegations that the numbers are rigged. “The president clearly stated that the data were not trustworthy and that the weakness in the data was the product of anti-Trump manipulation,” Strain said. “And if that’s true, what are we being patient about?” The White House maintained that Friday's jobs report was an outlier in an otherwise good economy. Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, said the Atlanta Federal Reserve is expecting annualized growth of 3% this quarter, which he said would be more consistent with monthly job gains of 100,000. Hassett said inflation is low, income growth is “solid” and new investments in assets such as buildings and equipment will ultimately boost hiring. But Daniel Hornung, who was deputy director of the National Economic Council in the Biden White House, said he didn’t see evidence of a coming rebound in the August jobs data. “Pretty broad based weakening,” Hornung said. “The decline over three months in goods producing sectors like construction and manufacturing is particularly notable. There were already headwinds there and tariffs are likely exacerbating challenges.” Stephen Moore, an economics fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation and supporter of the president, said the labor market is “definitely softening,” even as he echoed Trump’s claims that the jobs numbers are not reliable. He said the economy was adjusting to the Trumpian shift of higher tariffs and immigration reductions that could lower the pool of available workers. “The problem going forward is a shortage or workers, not a shortage of jobs,” Moore said. “In some ways, that’s a good problem to have.” But political consultant and pollster Frank Luntz took the contrarian view that the jobs report won’t ultimately matter for the political fortunes of Trump and his movement because voters care more about inflation and affordability. “That’s what the public is watching, that’s what the public cares about,” Luntz said. “Everyone who wants a job has a job, for the most part.” From the perspective of elections, Trump still has roughly a year to demonstrate progress on improving affordability, Luntz said. Voters will generally lock in their opinions about the economy by Labor Day before the midterm elections next year. In other words, Trump still has time. “It’s still up for grabs,” he said. “The deciding point will come Labor Day of 2026.” Copyright 2025 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Police say a shot hit a transformer, cutting power to thousands in Beacon Hill and Yesler Terrace. SEATTLE — A man was critically injured Friday afternoon after being shot during an altercation in the Chinatown-International District. A stray bullet from the incident damaged an electrical transporter, cutting power to nearly 10,000 nearby customers. Seattle police responded to reports of a shooting at 3:48 p.m. near South Jackson Street and 12th Avenue South. Officers found an adult man with a gunshot wound to the upper body and provided aid until Seattle Fire Department medics arrived. The victim was transported to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition. Detectives with the Gun Violence Reduction Unit are investigating. Police said the victim and a male suspect had been involved in an altercation shortly before the shooting. The suspect fired multiple rounds, striking the victim and damaging an electrical transformer before fleeing north on 12th Avenue South in a light-colored vehicle. The transformer strike caused a power outage that affected about 8,220 customers in the Beacon Hill and Yesler Terrace neighborhoods, according to Seattle City Light. Service was restored by about 9:30 p.m. Investigators are working to determine what led up to the shooting.

David Greenberger has lived aboard his boat, the Jeanette, for more than 50 years. The boat now has extensive water damage and he currently cannot live on it. TACOMA, Wash. — For more than 50 years, fisherman David Greenberger has lived full time aboard his boat, the Jeanette. But a recent accident left the Jeanette submerged for nearly two days, causing extensive damage and leaving the 80-year-old fisherman without his home. “Well, basically, I had some misfortune,” Greenberger said. At the end of August, the boat bottomed out, tipped over and took on water. The engine room flooded, interior spaces were soaked, and electrical systems were destroyed. “Still drying out all the drawers,” he said, surveying the damage. “I knew I had a lot of work coming.” Greenberger converted the Jeanette from a fishing vessel to a liveaboard boat decades ago. He bought the boat after working on it in his younger years and has since traveled up and down the West Coast. “Oh, it’s the freedom,” he said. “You get up, there’s nobody next to you, maybe a whale.” He grew up in Ballard and has spent most of his life on boats. “I went down in the boat, starting about six, seven years old,” he said. With the Jeanette out of commission, Greenberger has been staying with friends. He said he’s spent more time in a car over the past two weeks than in the past decade. The boating community in Tacoma has since rallied around Greenberger, raising funds and offering support as he faces months of repairs.  “Obviously, the news started coming in that it had sunk,” said Dwight Anderson, a Tacoma waterfront employee who has known Greenberger for years. “What we want to do is get it up running and functional so we can at least get him back into his home.” Anderson called Greenberger a living link to the region’s fishing history: a man who embodies Seattle and Tacoma’s maritime culture. “He was up and down the whole entire western coast. So, he's made chosen families at pretty much every port,” said Lindsay O’Neal, who also works on the Tacoma waterfront. “So, a lot of people know him, and if they don't know him personally, they know the Jeanette.” O’Neal said that Greenberger is always helping others, constantly being willing to share his knowledge with people trying to catch fish. She said it’s important to get him back onto the boat he has called home for so long and added it’s even more important to let him know how much people care. “I think that’s probably the most important part, just getting his spirit back up, because he had lost everything,” said O’Neal. “It’s just so important to get him on his feet again.” Despite the devastation, Greenberger remains resilient. “I have a lot more friends than I thought,” he said with a smile. The restoration of the Jeanette will take time and resources, but Greenberger is determined to return to the water, on the Jeanette. “Just take one day at a time,” he said. “You just got to keep going forward.” A fundraising page has been set up to help cover the cost of repairs.
