The hearing in Harrisburg involves a five-year consent decree that UPMC and Highmark signed in 2014 that’s set to expire at the end of June. The state Supreme Court wants more information about what the parties meant five years ago when they included a provision that allows the consent decree to be modified.
UNDATED (AP) — Lawyers for the man accused of killing 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue say the FBI has been discouraging witnesses from talking to the defense and undermining his right to a fair trial.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and his acting defense secretary are distancing themselves from an order to keep a warship named for the late Sen. John McCain out of sight during the commander in chief’s recent visit to Japan. The Pentagon’s acting chief, Patrick Shanahan, says he never authorized attempts to make sure Trump wouldn’t see the USS John S. McCain at its homeport in Japan and would have his chief of staff investigate. Trump says he wasn’t involved in the matter.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is assailing special counsel Robert Mueller as a “never Trumper” and as a rejected, conflicted job-seeker. The criticism comes a day after Mueller rebuffed the president’s repeated claims that the Russia investigation had cleared Trump of committing a federal crime of obstruction of justice. The president also is offering mixed messages on Russia’s efforts to help him defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election campaign.
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal lawsuit seeking to strike down Mississippi’s method of electing statewide officials by asserting that it’s racially discriminatory has been filed in court. The lawsuit brought Thursday by four African American residents challenges the state’s nationally unique requirement that the governor and top officials win both a majority of the statewide vote and a majority of the 122 state House districts. The provision has been in place since the state’s 1890 constitution.

The 16-8 vote Thursday was the necessary two-thirds majority to override. The House narrowly voted last week to override Sununu’s veto.
