News Brief: COVID-19 Curve, Russian Bounties, 'White Power' Tweet

AUBREY: Well, big picture, we've had about 2.5 million documented cases, though experts think that at least 20 million people in the U.S. have had the virus.

(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)

INSKEEP: Did Russia offer money for people in Afghanistan to kill American troops?

KING: It is a question that a lot of people are asking today because, yesterday, the president retweeted a video, it's of a man riding in a golf cart.

And there are these other people protesting, yelling insults about the president as the people in the golf carts drive by.

So yesterday morning, the president retweeted the video saying, quote, "thank you to the great people of The Villages."
