Russia has today dismissed claims it is meddling in the 2020 presidential race, after U.S. lawmakers were told that Moscow was trying to help Donald Trump win a second term. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the predictable denial at a press conference today where he labeled the claims 'paranoid announcements'. 'Unfortunately, there will be more and more of [them] as we get closer to the elections,' he said in Moscow. 'Of course, they have nothing to do with the truth.' U.S. intelligence officials told lawmakers last Thursday that Vladimir Putin's regime was resuming its efforts to interfere in American politics.

An Elk Grove Police officer is being hailed as a hero after the department released video that shows him helping rescue a driver from his car after a fiery crash. The dashboard and body-camera video, taken from a Feb. 11 incident and posted to social media Tuesday night, shows Officer Jarred Houston racing his patrol car around the roundabout at Sheldon and Waterman roads, then getting out and running toward the white sedan. The driver, whose face is blurred in the video, is trapped on the front passenger’s side of the burning car when Houston arrives. “I cannot get out, sir,” the driver tells him. Houston tells the man to get away from the window, before smashing it out with a baton to gain access. Houston then pulls the man out of the car through the window opening, the video shows.

Researchers at the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the University of Texas at Austin claimed to have made a breakthrough in their coronavirus research and said their data could help develop a vaccine. Scientists were able to create a 3D atomic-scale map of the part of the virus that attaches itself to human cells and causes infection, according to UT News. Mapping what researchers call the "spike protein" is a vital step toward developing vaccines and antiviral drugs. Jason McLellan, an associate professor at UT Austin, spoke with Fox News about the virus and said researchers hope to study the 3D map, in an effort to develop antibodies that can help fight the disease. "What we've been able to do is produce the molecule that's on the surface of the coronavirus in our lab. So the surface of the virus contains these spike molecules that sort of resemble mushrooms and they use these molecules to bind to our cells and then cause the virus to enter the cells," he said.

(WARNING: 21+) The #NYPD has released bodycam footage of a January officer-involved shooting in Manhattan in which a man killed another man before being fatally shot by police. It happened around 3:40 a.m. on January 9 at Avenue A and East 7th Street, near the southwest corner of Tompkins Square Park. The NYPD says two uniformed officers were on patrol in the park when they heard gunshots and saw one man shooting at another. The officers gave numerous commands for the shooter to get onto the ground, and when he refused, they fired three times, fatally wounding the gunman. Both the suspect and the man who had been shot by the suspect were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where both were pronounced dead. Law enforcement identified the shooter as 37-year-old Earl Facey, who they say killed 41-year-old Richard Reed before being shot by the officers. Police say both men are reputed gang members and have been linked to prior shootings. #shooting

Increasingly troubled about the role the self-proclaimed visionary and healer might play in the presidential race, intelligence experts expressed concerns Friday that Volokov Molchalin, the pale Russian mystic constantly at President Donald Trump’s side, may attempt to influence the 2020 election, the Onion write. “While we’re unsure exactly what Volokov is whispering into Trump’s ear-or if it’s a known language at all-it’s the consensus of the intelligence community that he likely intends to meddle in the upcoming election, perhaps by using his self-professed hypnotic powers to sway the American public,” said National Intelligence Director Joseph Maguire, noting that the long-bearded Eastern Orthodox prophet had enjoyed unprecedented access to the Oval Office since laying his hands on the president’s thigh in early June and allegedly curing him of an internal hemorrhage. #mystery #facepalm
