JASPER COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) - A truck hauling “aggressive” monkeys overturned in Mississippi on Tuesday.

According to authorities, the Rhesus monkeys were on their way to a testing facility in Florida after being at Tulane University.

The monkeys were 40 pounds and were “aggressive,” authorities said. They were also carrying hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID.

In a Tuesday afternoon update, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office said all of the escaped monkeys, except for one, “have been destroyed.”

The sheriff’s department is still looking for one of the monkeys that is still on the loose.

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks is on site with local law enforcement.

The incident happened on I-59 near mile marker 117, which is north of Heidelberg, Mississippi.

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office says that Tulane University has been notified and will send a team to pick up the monkeys on Wednesday.

The justices used the doctrine, a judicially created method of reading statutes, to thwart several major Biden programs.

The Supreme Court used the “major questions doctrine” to reject much of the Biden administration’s agenda, including its efforts to address climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic and student debt. The court’s commitment to the doctrine will be tested next week when it hears arguments about President Trump’s tariffs program.

The doctrine requires Congress to use plain and direct language to authorize sweeping economic actions by the executive branch. The 1977 law that Mr. Trump is relying on, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, might seem to fail that test, as it does not feature the word “tariffs” or similar terms like “duties,” “customs,” “taxes” or “imposts.”

Nor is there any question that the tariffs will have vast economic consequences, measured in the trillions of dollars. The sums involved are far larger than the roughly $500 billion at issue in President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s student loan forgiveness program, which Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing for the majority, called “staggering by any measure.”

t seems poised to rule in President Trump’s favor on whether he can fire government officials for no reason, a leading originalist scholar has issued a provocative dissent.

US President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting at the White House AFP News

Donald Trump, 79, has spent his second presidency insisting he is in perfect health, yet he has also been strangely fixated on his own mortality and prospects in the afterlife. This contradiction has fuelled online speculation for months.

Now, the president has finally admitted to reporters that his recent, mysterious visit to Walter Reed medical centre included an MRI scan, an examination far outside a 'routine' physical.

What Is Donald Trump Hiding About His Health?

Speaking on board Air Force One, President Donald Trump finally provided a reason for his second medical examination this year. He had previously dodged questions about the visit, telling reporters to 'ask the doctors' why he went to the medical facility.

This time, he was declarative, if not detailed. 'I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect,' he bragged, in yet another assertion of his perfect health.

'I gave you the full results,' he continued. 'We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect.' The White House has not stated what part of the president's body was scanned or the reason for the test.

The 'Very Weird' Visit That Has Critics Questioning Donald Trump

The president's admission has only thrown fuel on the fire of online speculation. Harry Sisson, a left-wing influencer, branded the comments as 'very weird.'

'WOAH: Trump just accidentally let it slip that he got an MRI scan at Walter Reed recently,' Sisson wrote on X. 'His team claimed his visit was for a regular physical but MRI scans are not done at a routine physical. They're for diagnosing serious conditions. Very weird...'

The president's team has not yet clarified why the MRI was needed during what they had described as a regular physical.

'Best Reports Ever Seen': Donald Trump Brags Amid Afterlife Fixation

Despite the concern, Donald Trump continued to brag about his health while on the presidential plane, claiming that doctors said he has 'some of the best reports they've ever seen.'

'I think they gave you a very conclusive – nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you,' he said. 'And if I didn't think it was going to be good, either, I would let you know negatively, I wouldn't run. I'd do something. But the doctor said some of the best reports for the age, some of the best reports they've ever seen.'

This bravado stands in stark contrast to the president's other recent comments. During his second presidency, Trump has repeatedly and bizarrely questioned his own chances of getting into Heaven and regularly talks about going on to the afterlife.

He has openly conceded that he has doubts about whether he will see the pearly gates.

'I think I'm not maybe heaven-bound,' he told reporters on Air Force One on October 13. Trump also said that he does not think 'there's anything going to get me in heaven.'

This fixation on mortality is paired with other physical health controversies. The president has often been seen with heavy, mysterious bruising on the back of his hand, which is frequently smudged or appears concealed with make-up.

While Trump's physician, Dr Sam Barbabella, said that the bruising was caused by the president shaking people's hands throughout the day and from taking aspirin, the explanation has not satisfied critics.

Tsident was also publicly diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a non-life-threatening condition which prevents blood flowing easily from the legs to the heart and often causes patients to suffer from swollen ankles.

Prosecutors expressed their concerns in a memo last month, sources said.

Prosecutors who investigated New York Attorney General Letitia James for possible mortgage fraud found evidence that would appear to undercut some of the allegations in the indictment of James secured earlier this month -- including the degree to which James personally profited from her purchase of the property -- according to a memo summarizing the state of the case in September, sources told ABC News.

Prosecutors who led the monthslong investigation into James' conduct concluded that any financial benefit derived from her allegedly falsified mortgage would have amounted to approximately $800 in the year she purchased the home, sources said.

The government lawyers also expressed concern that the case could likely not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt because federal mortgage guidelines for a second home do not clearly define occupancy, a key element of the case, according to sources.

Prosecutors detailed the findings to the previous U.S. attorney, Erik Siebert, in an internal Department of Justice memo summarizing the status of the case early last month, according to sources familiar with its contents. Siebert was ousted by President Donald Trump last month after refusing to seek charges against James amid what critics call Trump's campaign of retribution against his perceived political foes.

"I want him out," Trump said the day before Siebert was ousted, telling reporters that it was because Virginia's two Democratic senators supported his nomination. Of James, Trump said, "It looks to me like she is very guilty of something, but I really don’t know."

Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan -- who Trump appointed with the explicit mandate of bringing charges against James and others -- secured an indictment against James earlier this month on charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.

Last week Halligan abruptly fired the author of the memo, career prosecutor Elizabeth Yusi, in part due to her resistance to bringing the case against James, sources said.

James, who has denied all wrongdoing, is set to appear in federal court in Norfolk on Friday to be arraigned.

According to the indictment, James falsely described the property as a second home but used it as an "investment property" rented to a family of three. The grand jury alleged James collected thousands of dollars in rent and would have saved $17,837 over the life of the mortgage versus a loan at a higher rate.

"The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public's trust," Halligan said in a statement earlier this month.

Donald Trump is playing favorites at a major cost.

Whether or not a state receives federal disaster aid under the Trump administration appears to boil down to their vote in the 2024 presidential election.

Donald Trump unlocked Federal Emergency Management Agency aid for several states this week, including Alaska, Nebraska, and North Dakota, but he denied it to others seemingly along party lines.

In multiple posts to Truth Social over the course of the week announcing the aid, Trump boasted that he had “won BIG” in Alaska and was honored to extend federal financial assistance to the “incredible Patriots” of Missouri.

Meanwhile, three states that recently voted blue received nothing: Vermont, Illinois, and Maryland.

Trump pledged $25 million to Alaska to deal with the aftermath of Typhoon Halong, which ravaged the state’s western coast, displaced some 2,000 residents, and killed at least one person. Severe flooding in the wake of the storm lifted houses off their foundations and obliterated some coastal villages.

“It is my Honor to deliver for the Great State of Alaska, which I won BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024—ALASKA, I WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday.

North Dakota and Nebraska received aid approval to deal with fallout from multiple storms and tornadoes in August. Trump said Thursday he granted North Dakota $3 million, emphasizing on social media that he “won THREE times in 2016, 2020, and 2024.”

Trump also granted FEMA aid to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota, which is still dealing with thousands of felled trees on tribal lands from a June storm, reported the Associated Press.

The president denied four requests for federal disaster relief. That included Maryland’s appeal for reconsideration to deal with massive flooding that affected the state’s western region in May, despite damages that nearly tripled the qualifying threshold for assistance.

In a statement, Maryland Governor Wes Moore said that Trump’s denial was “deeply frustrating,” leaving residents to deal with the wreckage on their own.

“President Trump and his Administration have politicized disaster relief, and our communities are the ones who will pay the price,” said Moore.

Vermont officials similarly underscored that damages caused by July storms far exceeded what locals could afford to fix on their own.

“It’s well over the annual budget or two years’ budget (of some towns), to fix those roads,” Eric Forand, Vermont’s emergency management director, told the Associated Press.
