(CNN) – Fulton County prosecutors have discussed potential plea deals with at least six additional co-defendants charged alongside Donald Trump for attempting to subvert the 2020 presidential election, multiple sources tell CNN. Pro-Trump lawyer Robert Cheeley is among those who have been offered a plea deal in the Georgia case but, according to his lawyer, turned it down. A source with knowledge of the Fulton County DA’s strategy tells CNN that it would be open to discussing plea deals with anyone, but there is little room for compromise when it comes to the charges against Trump. To be clear, there is no indication that prosecutors or Trump’s legal team are interested in discussing a plea deal. John Eastman, who is also considered one of Trump’s most high-profile co-defendants, has not been offered a plea deal either, his lawyer told CNN.

Thirteen mouse mummies were found atop volcanoes in Chile and Argentina about 20,000 feet above sea level. The discovery has baffled scientists who did not think mammals could live at such high elevations. The species is known to live at high elevations, but baffled scientists at more than 20,000 feet. The scientists are now looking for signs of physiological adaptations that may allow these mice to survive at high elevations with low oxygen levels. Storz's team is also continuing to search the volcano tops for signs of mice, living or mummified.

Dominant Red Bull and Verstappen, who started in sixth place and whose win was the first in Austin by a driver not on the front row, have already secured the constructors' and drivers' titles. "The whole race, I was struggling a lot with the brakes," said Verstappen, who was booed by some of the crowd as he stood on the podium. "I normally never really struggle with braking so far in my F1 career, but it was definitely a bit of a problem." "Forecast P2, maybe the win," the 38-year-old was informed over the radio as he chased down the McLaren. Alpine's Esteban Ocon was the first retirement, his race ending on lap seven after a first lap collision with McLaren's Oscar Piastri.

Formula One's Sergio “Checo” Pérez. León is a celebrated voice in Mexican music, proving genres like banda, mariachi, norteño and sierreño are international, not “regional Mexican music,” as his work — and the work of his contemporaries like Peso Pluma and Eslabon Armado — is often described. Red Bull Racing's “Checo” Pérez is the sole Mexican Formula One driver on the 2023 grid and the most successful Mexican driver in the motorsport's history. “I'm very happy with what's happening with Mexican music.”

Hinge Health is preparing for an initial public offering once market conditions become favorable. CEO Daniel Perez said Hinge Health projects it will hit a cash flow break-even in 2024. The digital musculoskeletal therapy startup is now looking for smaller companies to acquire. After Hinge Health raised $300 million in Series D funding in January 2021, CEO Daniel Perez told Reuters that the startup hoped to go public in 2022. That was before interest rates soared and the economy slumped and closed the IPO window for healthcare startups that planned to make their public-market debuts.

He jumped straight out of the cockpit and crossed the circuit, which is a breach of regulations. But given his role model status within the series, and the danger represented, governing body FIA feels this may not have been enough. Hamilton reached the inside edge of the Losail track shortly before Russell arrived at full speed having exited the pit lane. He is third in the F1 standings behind Red Bull drivers Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen, who clinched his third straight F1 title in Qatar. Alpine driver Esteban Ocon vomited inside his helmet as track temperatures reached 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).

The next three races are in Texas, Mexico and Brazil where Perez can count on strong support as the only Latin American driver.

"We desperately need him to find that form to keep this second place in the championship. Perez and Verstappen were level 2-2 on wins until Miami, when Verstappen started a run of 10 wins in a row. We’ve done that and the next best thing after that would be to have both your drivers first and second," said Horner.

However, there’s no denying Iran’s history of aiding Hamas, officials say. “They’ve provided support for years to Hamas and Hezbollah.”In the immediate aftermath of the attack, senior US officials have maintained that it was too early to determine whether Iran had any direct role in planning and supporting Hamas’ attack. One congressional source said that given the sophistication of the attack, Iran would have had a role, since Hamas does not have the ability to buy weapons at this scale. Publicly, administration officials have expressed similar regarding the understanding of Iran's role so far. "Iran has, unfortunately, always used and focused its funds on supporting terrorism, on supporting groups like Hamas.
