afternoon update. Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the Supreme Court today to weigh in on whether Donald Trump has presidential immunity. Smith is hoping to keep Trump's federal election interference trial on track by bypassing the appeals court process and going directly to our nation's highest court. The earliest the court could consider the appeal would be on January 5th. Following the resignation of UPenn President Liz McGill, Harvard President Claudine Gay,

who has also faced backlash for her recent congressional testimony, is receiving some support on campus. Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham has more. More. Over 650 faculty members have signed a letter asking administrators to resist forcing Gay to resign. Calls for the Harvard president's ouster increased over the weekend after the resignation of University of Pennsylvania president, Liz McGill. Gay, McGill, and MIT President Sally Cornbluth have fielded heavy criticism after a congressional hearing where they danced around the question of whether students calling for the genocide of Jews is worthy of punishment. Here's Gay being questioned by New York rep Elise Stefonic last week.

Do you believe that type of hateful speech is contrary to Harvard's code of conduct, or is it allowed at Harvard? It is at odds with the values of Harvard. Can you not say here that it is against the code of conduct at Harvard? We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. It's when that speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies against bullying, harassing, and interrogation. Does that speech not cross that barrier? Does that speech not call for the genocide of Jews and the elimination of Israel? The Air Force says it has disciplined 15 airmen for dereliction of duty and not taking the proper action after becoming aware of Massachusetts airmen, Jack DeShera's alleged leak of several intelligence documents last year. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more.

According to an investigation released Monday, to Chera's immediate superiors were reportedly unaware that the 21-year-old was sharing some of the country's most sensitive secrets online. But the Watchdog report does detail a great deal of holes and oversight from Air Force officials. The 15 servicemen who have been removed from their positions span a large range of military ranks and have received non-judicial administrative punishments. The Internal Air Force Review is separate from the Justice Department's criminal investigation, which led to the eventual indictment of Tashara earlier this year.

Tashira pleaded not guilty and is awaiting a trial date. Russian opposition leader Alexi Navalny is said to be missing after his allies and lawyers say they haven't heard from him in six days. Navalny, who's currently serving a 19-year prison sentence on charges of extremism, missed his court appearance today. According to a spokesperson for the politician, the prison where Navalny is being held cited electrical problems for the lack of communication, though his lawyers also haven't been able to access him.

The 47-year-old Russian opposition leader has been locked up since January of 2021. He was arrested after returning from Germany, where he recuperated from poisoning by a nerve agent, an attack he blames on the Kremlin. He is seen as one of Vladimir Putin's greatest foes and has organized many anti-Kremlin protests. A new study published in the Scientific Journal, Nature, found that one in four mRNA COVID shots accidentally created

so-called nonsense proteins in people that were supposedly harmless. As the Telegraph reports, the study found that 25 to 30 percent of people injected with the MRNA COVID jabs suffered an unintended immune response created by a glitch in the way the vaccine was read by the body. But the study also claims that no adverse effects were caused by the creation of the jumbled proteins. While MRNA vaccines are supposed to mimic a COVID infection to spur the creation of antibodies. The study claims they at times accidentally created a nonsensical and harmless protein, which the body attacks and leads to an immune system flare up. The authors also say there's a way to prevent that from happening as much in the future. A trapped hiker was rescued after spending

seven hours with his leg pinned underneath an estimated 10,000 pound Boulder in California. Officials say the man was hiking in the Inyo Mountains before the incident. Inyo County Search and rescue was called to conduct the rescue mission after the local sheriff's office was notified about the trapped hiker. According to a press release from Inyo County Search and Rescue, rescuers used a system of ropes, pulleys, and leverage to shift the boulder and rescue the hiker. Due to the seriousness of his injuries, officials decided to extract him via helicopter. He was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated. All right, those are your drive home updates this afternoon.
