Video: AP video shows fisherman releasing nine-foot great white shark off Nantucket

AP video shows fisherman releasing nine-foot great white shark off Nantucket

Jun 15, 2026

The brief clip captures audio and footage of a fisherman and companions identifying, unhooking, and releasing a great white shark in shallow water near Nantucket. Voices confirm it as a 'white shark' or 'great white' while the hook is removed and the animal is guided back out. The Associated Press video documents the June 2026 incident involving angler Elliot Sudal. Sudal posted similar footage to social media, and AP produced both a video and written article on the event. Sourcing relies on the primary video and on-the-record identification by the fisherman.

AP reports Newsom accuses Trump DOJ of probe into him and wife

Jun 15, 2026

The broadcast covers California Gov. Gavin Newsom's Monday video statement accusing the Trump Justice Department of investigating him and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom. He claims agents have questioned associates and sought records to manufacture a case, tied to his potential presidential run. A person familiar with the matter confirms multiple federal probes, including one into the wife's taxes. The segment notes unclear full details and places it in a broader pattern of DOJ actions against Trump critics. Sourcing relies on Newsom's public post, his office statements, and one anonymous knowledgeable source; no on-camera experts or primary documents are shown.
