"Knots Landing" star Ted Shackelford was spotted out in Los Angeles on a rare outing.

In the photos, the actor, 80, is seen sporting a blue collared shirt layered with a blue knit cardigan, which he paired with black trousers, sunglasses and sneakers.

Shackelford first rose to fame starring as Raymond Gordon on "Another World" for 110 episodes, before landing the role of Gary Ewing in the hit show "Dallas," and later its spinoff, "Knots Landing."

He played the black sheep of the Ewing family on the show from 1979 to 1993, and maintained a strong acting career following the end of the show.

While he played the character for over a decade, he told The Dallas Decoder in 2013 he never liked the character, even referring to him as "weak."

"I thought he never thought anything through. I didn’t see any strength of character," he said. "I mean, just once I wanted him to have some courage. And I never saw that."

Shackelford went on to appear in a number of TV movies and as a guest on various TV shows, including "Cybill" and "Spin City."

He then returned to his soap opera roots, starring as Jeffery and William Bardwell on "The Young and the Restless" from 2006 to 2015. He most recently appeared in a 2017 episode of the hit show, "NCIS."

In addition to returning to the role of Gary Ewing in the "Dallas" reboot in 2013, Shackelford also participated in the "Knots Landing" reunion in 2005, which brought together cast members Joan Van Ark, Michele Lee, Donna Mills, William Devane and others, to discuss behind-the-scenes stories in a reconstruction of the set.

When speaking to Entertainment Tonight in August about her love scenes with Shackelford on "Knots Landing," Mills referred to them as "steamy."

"I mean, look at Ted," she said. "I mean, really, get into bed with that body — and he’s such a sweetheart. He really is. It was, uh, it was fun. I can’t deny it. It was fun."

NEW YORK — Russia is trying to scare Europe into backing off its defense in the region, claims European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas, who warns it will only lead to Moscow becoming more aggressive if it succeeds.

"Their goal is to intimidate us from not supporting Ukraine, from refraining to support them and pressuring Russia," Kallas told Fox News Digital in an interview on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.

"What is important for us is that we are not afraid," she continued. "Because otherwise this kind of intimidation actually pays off, and then we will see more of it across the world."

For Kallas, Russia’s attempts to intimidate its European neighbors carry a history that reaches well beyond the war in Ukraine.

Her mother, Kristi, was just six months old in 1949 when Soviet authorities deported her — along with her mother and her grandmother — to Siberia during Stalin’s mass deportations from the Baltic states. Kallas’ maternal grandfather was separately sent to a Siberian prison camp.

Kallas has recounted how her mother was transported east in a cattle car, with fellow deportees drying the infant’s diapers against their own bodies during the freezing journey. The family spent roughly a decade in Siberia before they were allowed to return to Soviet-occupied Estonia in 1959.

Kallas was born in Tallinn in 1977 and spent the first 14 years of her life under Soviet rule. Estonia restored its independence in 1991 as the Soviet Union collapsed.

FRONTLINE NATO ALLY SHARES SHOCKING TAKE ON RUSSIAN INVASION THREAT

Her family would go on to become deeply entwined with the new democratic Estonia. Her father, Siim Kallas, became the first president of the Bank of Estonia after gaining its independence, later serving as foreign minister and prime minister before moving to Brussels as a European commissioner.

Kaja Kallas followed her own path from lawyer to member of Estonia’s parliament and then the European Parliament.

In 2021, she became Estonia’s first female prime minister and three years later was chosen as the European Union’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy. It was a historic moment — putting a politician who grew up under Soviet occupation at the center of Europe’s response to Russian aggression on the continent.

That history has made Kallas one of Europe’s most prominent voices on Moscow — even as officials in her native Estonia and elsewhere along NATO’s eastern flank now caution against interpreting Russia’s recent provocations as preparations for a conventional invasion.

Russia invaded Ukraine more than four-and-a-half years ago and shows no signs of backing off despite repeated promises that negotiations for an end of war are ongoing.

Asked whether she agreed with Estonian and other Baltic officials who say they do not currently see Russia preparing for such an attack, Kallas instead pointed to Moscow’s growing use of sabotage and the importance of deterrence.

"We see that Russia is actually increasing their sabotage acts in Europe," Kallas said. "But of course how far they will go depends very much on us and whether we are investing enough in defense so that it acts as a deterrent."

The debate comes as NATO countries confront a string of Russian aircraft and drone incursions, along with suspected sabotage and other hybrid activity across Europe. The incidents have fueled warnings in some European capitals that Moscow is probing the alliance for weaknesses, while officials closer to Russia have cautioned against equating those provocations with preparations for an invasion.

US ALLIES NEED TO SHOOT DOWN RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT TESTING NATO BOUNDARIES, CZECH PRESIDENT WARNS

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna told Fox News Digital in a separate interview this week that his country's intelligence services see no indication Russia is preparing for a full-scale attack on NATO.

"We have more and more this kind of panic in Europe that Russia will invade and will be full-scale aggressive against NATO and Europe and the Baltic states, Poland, but we don’t see it," Tsahkna said. "Our intelligence, we see very, very deep into Russia, we don’t see any change."

Kallas, however, argued that Moscow's actions are designed to weaken Western support for Ukraine rather than simply test NATO's defenses.

"Their goal is to intimidate us from not supporting Ukraine, from refraining to support them and pressuring Russia," she said.

The pressure campaign comes as Washington continues its push for a negotiated end to the war. Kallas said Moscow has yet to demonstrate that it is serious about reaching one.

"They should start with stopping bombing the civilians," she said, pointing to recent Russian attacks on Kyiv. "If they are serious about this, they should agree to a ceasefire, sit down at the negotiation table and talk to the Ukrainians."

Kallas said Ukraine has already agreed to an unconditional ceasefire while "Russia is just playing games," arguing that coordinated pressure from Washington and its European allies could change Moscow's calculations.

"If America, Europe, UK, other strong players are all acting together in the same way to put in the sanctions, then actually we could have the effect that Russia understands that this is serious and they will sit down and negotiate," she said.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris used yellow and pink flowers to explain how social media algorithms can repeatedly feed users similar content, arguing that the technology can influence what people see online.

Harris made the remarks during an appearance on "Off Air with Big Boy" after host Big Boy asked about AI, TikTok, Instagram and the role personalized algorithms could play in shaping how Americans consume information, including ahead of the midterm elections.

"There is a part of this that is about understanding that, you know, if you keep seeing the same thing over and over again, know that you are being targeted," Harris said.

"Because you looked at it the first time, they're just going to keep sending it to you, which means they're trying to dumb people down with the assumption that people don't have any interest beyond what they've already seen," she continued.

CHRIS MURPHY CALLS FOR 'REGULATING THE INTERNET' SO PEOPLE WON'T FALL FOR A 'DEMAGOGUE LIKE DONALD TRUMP'

Harris, who previously played a leading role in the Biden administration's work on artificial intelligence, continued with a colorful example.

"The algorithm's suggesting I have no more interest — because I'm looking at this yellow flower, I'm only interested in yellow flowers, as though my brain can't handle the fact that there may be a pink flower that I might be interested in looking at," Harris said.

"Part of it is understanding how the algorithm is manipulating us and figuring out how we're going to psych it out a bit," she added.

Harris' explanation drew a mocking response from Fox News hosts, including Sean Hannity.

"What was that?" Hannity said while reacting to the soundbite.

HARRIS KEEPS 2028 DOOR OPEN AS SHE HITS MIDTERM CAMPAIGN TRAIL, WARNS ‘28 WON’T MATTER’ WITHOUT 2026

Hannity's guest, Fox News host Jimmy Failla, joked that Harris thinks "AI is Allen Iverson from the Philadelphia 76ers."

Harris, the Democratic Party's 2024 presidential nominee, has not said whether she will seek the White House again in 2028.

She has faced criticism in the past over her explanations of artificial intelligence, including remarks she made while serving as vice president in 2023.

"AI is kind of a fancy thing," Harris said at the time. "First of all, it's two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is is it's about machine learning."

Harris' latest comments come after she called on President Donald Trump earlier this month to pursue an international agreement – including with China – aimed at limiting dangerous uses of AI and establishing global testing standards.

As one who has had the honor to consult for NASA and the Space Shuttle team in the past; work space-defense related issues in the Pentagon; speak with all twelve men who walked on the Moon; and author tens of columns on the subject, I have been "Johnny One-Note" over the last decade or so warning that the People’s Republic of China is seeking to establish itself as the dominant military power in space for decades to come. Did anyone in authority care? Not so much.

That may now be changing. Two recent stories in the news have certainly elevated not only interest, but apprehension.

The first being when Air Force Secretary Troy Meink recently confirmed that the U.S. has weapons stationed in Earth orbit. Said Meink, in part, presumably as a warning to China and, to a lesser extent, Russia at the Air, Space and Cyber Conference: "Today, we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges of evolving threats wherever they exist. This is why the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action…"

PENTAGON REVEALS SECRET SPACE WEAPONS ARE ALREADY IN ORBIT — BUT WON'T SAY WHAT THEY DO

The second — and potentially much more intriguing — was highlighted in the site "Defense One" via the headline: "The Pentagon must prepare for battles around the moon: Joint Chiefs chair."

During the same Air, Space, and Cyber conference in which he delivered the Keynote address, it was reported that General Dan Caine — who is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — said in part: "Our task, my friends, is to adapt right now, so the Joint Force is prepared to fight, endure, and win, in global contested environments, from the seabed to cislunar space…"

NASA ANNOUNCES THREE NEW MOON MISSIONS AS AGENCY RACES TO BUILD PERMANENT LUNAR BASE BY END OF 2026

"Cislunar" in this case means not just in lunar orbit, but on the surface of the Moon. The stuff of fiction? In the past, yes. Today, it must all be about the national and economic security of our nation.

On that fiction front, several years ago I authored a novel — based on some real-world information from a Soviet General — titled "The Dawn of a Nazi Moon." While hopefully an entertaining and historically accurate story, the major premise of the book was to outline how an adversary could use the Moon as the ultimate "High Ground" against an enemy on Earth.

The belief by some that once humans cut through Earth’s atmosphere into the vacuum of space, our flaws, greed, prejudices and military ambitions will be left behind is not only naïve, but quite dangerous. No one understood that better at the time than President John F. Kennedy.

During his now iconic speech at Rice University on September 12, 1962, on the need for the U.S. to become the "preeminent spacefaring nation," President John F. Kennedy rightfully stressed in part:

TRUMP TO HONOR ARTEMIS II ASTRONAUTS WHO TRAVELED FARTHER FROM EARTH THAN ANY HUMANS IN HISTORY

"We mean to be a part of it — we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the Moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace… Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of preeminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war."

Thanks to Kennedy, the United States did once occupy "a position of preeminence" in space. But no more. China now holds that title.

TRUMP SIGNS ORDER CREATING NEW SPACE ACADEMY AKIN TO WEST POINT; ITS LOCATION WILL BE DETERMINED

A China — with its entirely military-controlled space program — which is targeting all our satellites in low and geosynchronous orbit. Satellites that control the fate of our military, our economy and our nation.

But much more alarmingly, it is also a China which is taking dead aim at the Moon. Both for its own military ambitions as well as for the future energy and economic security of its nation. One way it is doing so is by targeting the helium-3 that litters the surface of the Moon.

Helium-3 is an isotope which could provide a potentially limitless supply of safe, clean, green energy. Some experts estimate the Moon’s surface holds millions of metric tons of helium-3, and that just 25 metric tons could fuel America’s energy needs for a year.

China is not waiting to find out. Via its lunar landers, it has already returned samples of Helium-3 to its laboratories to be studied.

China has every intention of conquering near-space for its military and economic needs. It appears the United States is now waking up to that power-shifting reality. And not a moment too soon.

With six weeks to go until Election Day, and early voting already underway in a handful of states, the conventional wisdom is that Republicans may be in for some setbacks in the midterms.

As it defends its fragile House and Senate majorities, the GOP is fighting political history, which has traditionally seen the president's party lose congressional seats during the midterms. It's also battling high costs at the grocery stores and gas pumps tied to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran, as well as President Donald Trump's underwater approval ratings.

But Democrats are saddled with their own issues, from an ideological civil war between the party's left wing and the establishment that has handed Republicans plenty of political ammunition, to a brand image that's nothing to brag about. Add to that the Democrats' major disadvantage as the GOP floods the airwaves with attack ads.

Here are six forces that will likely determine whether Republicans can turn back a possible blue wave and hold power in Congress.

WHO'S UP AND WHO'S DOWN IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS MIDTERM ELECTION POLLING

Six weeks until Election Day, and just as the voting begins, fuel prices keep rising, with the national average for gas nearly $4.50 per gallon and diesel topping $6.50 per gallon, according to AAA.

Public opinion polls point to the economy, including the cost of living, as the top issue for voters in this year's midterms. That means that the issue that boosted Trump and Republicans to sweeping victories in 2024 is a major liability in 2026. And the rising prices in recent weeks, fueled by renewed fighting in the war with Iran and Ukraine and attacks on Russia's diesel industry, are doing the GOP no favors.

"Gas prices were much higher under Biden than under "TRUMP." So were almost all other prices," the president argued Monday in a social media post, as he referred to former President Joe Biden.

While Trump and Republican leaders point fingers at Biden, polls indicate voters increasingly place the blame for ongoing economic and inflation pressures on the current administration.

DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB

Democrats last week heavily criticized Trump and Republicans after the president argued that fuel costs were "a very inexpensive price to pay for what we’ve done," as he pointed to the attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Meanwhile, the latest Fox News poll indicated that by a wide margin, the Democrats are considered the party that would better handle inflation.

But when asked about the overall economy, recent national surveys from Reuters/Ipsos and NBC News had the GOP and Democrats all knotted up on which party would better handle the issue.

"My listeners are looking for prices to come down across the board," New Hampshire-based center-right talk radio host Jack Heath told Fox News Digital.

"People elected President Trump to lower prices and improve their situation and people are looking for that improvement," Heath, host of "Good Morning NH," emphasized. "They're looking for Trump to deliver on his promises."

"I'm asking you to just pretend I'm on the ballot just one more time," the president said last week during a campaign stop in battleground North Carolina.

It's a line Trump repeatedly used earlier this month, at the GOP's first-ever midterm convention.

Facing what polls indicate is an enthusiasm gap with Democrats, the president and Republican leaders are hoping to energize the MAGA base, which doesn't always vote when Trump isn't on the ballot. While the president's approval rating in the Fox News poll stands at 39% among all voters, it remains at a sky-high 98% among self-described MAGA Republicans.

But some longtime Trump allies are starting to break with the president as they face challenging re-elections.

GOP Rep. Maria Salazar won re-election two years ago by 20 points in South Florida's 27th Congressional District. But with Trump's negative poll numbers a potential anchor around her, Salazar last week released a TV ad criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement as having "gone too far," and that "Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today."

Meanwhile, on Monday two Trump allies who are in heated Senate battles - Rep. Ashley Hinson of Iowa and former Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan, broke with the president as they a swift end to the war with Iran.

Watch whether vulnerable Republicans create more distance from the president, or move toward Trump to juice Republican turnout.

Republicans are aiming to turn what's normally a referendum on the party in power into a choice election, as they spotlight major Democratic primary victories this year by far-left and socialist candidates over more mainstream Democrats.

"In state after state, the Democrat establishment has been overthrown and replaced by crazed lunatics and radicals. They call themselves Democrat socialists, but actually, they’re communists," Trump charged at the midterm convention.

The messaging is pronounced in Michigan's crucial Senate race, where GOP nominee former Rep. Mike Rogers, as he referred to Democratic rival Abdul El-Sayed, told Fox Business this week, "We don’t want this socialism nonsense in our state, and this guy is too extreme."

12 SENATE RACES THAT WILL DETERMINE WHO CONTROLS THE CHAMBER

Polling gives a boost to the GOP's "commonsense vs. crazy" messaging.

Fifty-five percent of registered voters surveyed in the latest Fox News national poll held an unfavorable view of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), while only three in 10 saw the DSA in a positive light.

The Fox News poll was the latest national survey to show that while the DSA has gained traction among Democrats, the group and the broader socialist movement in America face significant national skepticism.

While the GOP full court press continues, in hopes of swaying undecided voters, Democrats are divided on its effectiveness.

Ty Strong, founder and president of the Moderate PAC, warned that the GOP playbook "absolutely could be effective."

But Shannon Jackson, a key consultant and advisor to progressive leader Rep. Ro Khanna of California, argued that Republicans are "reaching for things. I think the DSA issue is something they’re trying to make something, but it is not."

Meanwhile, this year's primary surge by socialist and left-wing candidates isn't helping Democrats boost their brand.

The party's favorable ratings hit historic lows in the months following the 2024 election, and the latest Fox News poll indicates Democrats are still well underwater, with 55% of voters viewing the party in an unfavorable light.

Republicans enjoy a formidable cash advantage over the Democrats, and they're using it in the final stretch leading up to Election Day.

While Democratic candidates in many key races have outraised their GOP opponents, the Republican National Committee remains far ahead of the rival Democratic National Committee when it comes to cash-on-hand.

And GOP-aligned outside groups, including the Trump-allied MAGA Inc., are opening the floodgates when it comes to ad spending, in order to try and level the playing field by overcoming the difficult political environment.

Republican groups have outspent their Democratic counterparts by more than $83 million to run spots in ten crucial Senate races since the start of September, according to figures from AdImpact, a nationally known firm that tracks ad spending.

While a financial advantage is not always decisive, strategists say it can often move the needle in a close contest. And in the 10 Senate races spotlighted by AdImpact, a onetime Democratic ad spending advantage over the summer turned into a major GOP deluge.

While much of the ad dollars dished out by Republicans are to protect vulnerable seats, the money may help as the GOP works to flip open-Democrat-held Senate seats in Michigan and New Hampshire.

Thirteen months ago, Texas passed a new congressional redistricting map, giving Trump his first major victory in his push to give Republicans a big boost heading into the midterm elections by drawing more right-leaning districts.

Fast-forward to present day, and as they fight to hold their razor-thin House majority, Republicans were the big winners, with partisan redistricting netting them potentially 10 additional right-leaning congressional seats in time for the midterms.

But redrawing the maps and winning the seats are two different things, and some election analysts caution that the fierce headwinds facing the GOP could lead to Republicans falling far short of their original expectations heading into the redistricting wars.

There are 435 seats in the House of Representatives, but the Cook Report suggests the battle for the chamber's majority could come down to just 21 districts it rates as toss-up.

The Fox News Power Rankings list 17 seats as true toss-ups.

Decades of gerrymander, including this cycle's mid-decade redistricting, has made a major impact by narrowing the House battlefield, which may limit the number of pickups by the Democrats even if a blue wave forms.

While the number of competitive House seats stays historically small, the Senate map is widening, which is a positive sign for Democrats.

Democrats are feeling the heat in open-seat contests in Michigan and New Hampshire, two must holds for them as they try to win back a Senate currently controlled 53-47 by the GOP.

But Senate showdowns in red states, including Alaska, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa, are now considered very competitive.

Need proof: Vice President JD Vance campaigned in Iowa and Kansas last week.

But recent polling is also giving Republicans hope they can flip the Democrat-controlled open Senate seat in blue-leaning Minnesota.

A Seattle couple is suing after hospital staff in Oregon told them to drive the body of their nearly 9-month-old son four hours home in their private car following his sudden death in an emergency room.

Aleksandr and Nataliya Yeremeyev filed a $10 million lawsuit against Salem Health and Dr. Stefani Sorensen. The parents had allegedly sought respectful and dignified care and transportation of the remains of their son, Michael, but the lawsuit alleges staff insisted they bring the body back home with them.

Michael was born with Down syndrome and spent the first six months of his life at Seattle Children's Hospital.

"His parents had made sure that he had received really excellent care. So, I think it was a really, really sad and just very tragic way for his life to end and for it to be so undignified right there at the end," Anna Bruckenhoefer, the family's attorney, said in a statement, according to Fox 13.

TWO FAMILIES SUE NORTH DAKOTA HOSPITAL ON ALLEGATIONS BABIES WERE SWITCHED AT BIRTH

On September 22, 2024, the family was visiting Salem, Oregon, for a religious retreat when Michael developed rapid, shallow breathing late at night and was rushed to the emergency room at Salem Health Hospital, where he died, according to the complaint.

When the parents asked how to arrange respectful transport to send Michael’s body back home to Seattle, hospital staff allegedly pushed back on the suggestion to contact a local funeral home because it would be "too expensive" and instead pressured the family to bring their son’s body corpse with them in their own personal car, which they ended up doing due to feeling like they had no other option.

"They have repeatedly asked the hospital for assistance in helping them with what are the next steps," Bruckenhoefer said. "This was all occurring overnight. They felt rushed that they had to make quick decisions and the hospital left them with no choice other than to take Michael's body with them and head back to Seattle."

Aleksandr drove about four hours from Salem to Seattle with his son’s body laid across the backseat, while his wife and other children followed in a separate car.

FAMILY OF TODDLER FOUND ALIVE IN MORGUE AFTER BEING DECLARED DEAD PLANS LEGAL ACTION

He suffered severe emotional distress as he feared police stops, car crashes and the visible deterioration of his child's body, according to the lawsuit. When he arrived at a Seattle funeral home, the father had to clean bodily fluids that leaked onto the seat during the trip.

"It is legal in the state of Oregon and in the state of Washington to transport a deceased with the proper permits. But that is not what our clients wanted to do here. They were looking for help. They were looking for guidance. They were looking for the hospital to tell them, "These are the next steps,'" Bruckenhoefer said. "This is a hospital. It's an emergency department. Unfortunately, death is something that they are accustomed to and that they deal with. They should have had procedures and protocols in place to assist the Yeremeyev’s while they were dealing with literally the worst moment of their lives. Instead, what they did is they just compounded their grief by essentially telling them that they were on their own in this."

"No parents, no loved ones should ever be placed in the position that the Yeremeyev’s were placed in," Bruckenhoefer added. "Just completely surprised that something like this would happen in 2026."

The lawsuit names Salem Health Hospitals & Clinics, Salem Health, Salem Emergency Physicians Service and Sorensen as defendants, alleging direct negligence, vicarious liability, and a breach of the heightened duty of care owed to bereaved parents for the respectful treatment and custody of a child's body.

The family is seeking $10 million in non-economic damages for severe emotional distress and psychological trauma, although they plan to amend the complaint to include punitive damages.

Salem Health Hospital said out of respect for privacy and because the matter is in litigation, it is unable to discuss the details of the child's care.

"Salem Hospital responded in accordance with the family’s wishes and followed both hospital policy and Oregon state law in consultation with the appropriate local authorities, including the medical examiner," Salem Health told Fox 13 in a statement.

"Care with respect is a guiding principle of clinical practice at Salem Hospital and remains central to how we support patients and families during some of life's most difficult moments. We recognize the profound grief families experience following the loss of a loved one and treat every patient and family with empathy, dignity, and respect," the statement continued.

President Donald Trump's ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico suffered a setback Thursday after a federal judge ordered the administration to restore White House access to the outlets.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly issued a temporary restraining order on Thursday blocking the ban on the outlets, ruling that their access to the White House must be reinstated while the outlets continue their legal battle, Reuters reported.

The order will be in effect for 14 days. 

MAMDANI TELLS TRUMP BANNED WHITE HOUSE OUTLETS ARE WELCOME AT NYC MEETING

Trump announced the ban last week, writing on social media that the three outlets "shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES."

Reporters from all three organizations were subsequently denied entry to the White House, with their press credentials deactivated or confiscated.

Lawyers for the Justice Department argued that White House press access is a privilege, not a right, and defended the president's authority to determine who receives access.

Following Trump's ban, White House television pool members FOX News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News announced Monday that they had agreed to suspend their pooled coverage of the president.

This is a developing story; check back for updates.
