NBC News this morning released a video of President Donald Trump and financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was recently charged with sex trafficking of minors, at a party in 1992, with Trump in one moment slapping a woman’s rear and in another, leering at women with Epstein.
Trump, then approaching the height of his (inflated) celebrity as a real estate mogul, pointed to a woman and tells Epstein, “She’s hot.” Moments later, he said something that causes Epstein to double over with laughter.

The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra said today that it has the results of an audit looking into the organization’s finances, and there is “substantial uncertainty about the BSO’s ability to continue as a going concern.”
Two days before management and the musicians are due for another round of federally mediated bargaining, BSO leadership said the review of financial statements ending in August 2018 shows it will be difficult for the orchestra to meet its forecasts for contributed revenue and earned revenue.
A man who brought a gun into an Old Goucher methadone clinic has died, and a Baltimore Police Department sergeant is in stable condition after an exchange of gunfire this morning inside the medical center in the 2100 block of Maryland Avenue, police said.
A man with gunshot wounds who was found in a different part of the building has also died. Police Commissioner Michael Harrison, who said he’s viewed all the body-worn camera footage from the incident, told reporters that officers only fired at the man who brought a gun into the clinic after he started shooting at them.
A female worker at the clinic sustained non-life threatening injuries during the incident, Harrison said.

Despite the squeamishness of some people recently quoted in The Washington Post, sitting down to pick crabs and drink beer is a rite of summer most Marylanders enjoy, a sacred part of the state’s identity.

Members of the Baltimore Police Department’s Marine Unit were determined to remove a 32-foot boat impaled on pilings in the Inner Harbor.
Starting in December 2016, they tried towing the vessel with a smaller police boat to dislodge it. When that didn’t work, they followed Brody’s advice in “Jaws” and got a bigger boat. The vessel remained stuck.
Moving to land, they hooked a cable from a truck on Thames Street to the boat and tried pulling it in that way. No luck.
Still stymied, they asked the bomb squad for detonation cords filled with explosives to wrap around the pilings to–I guess?–blast the boat free. That request was declined.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors last month passed a resolution put forth by Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young calling on city leaders not to pay hackers who cripple municipal computer networks, Young’s office announced today.
Baltimore was targeted by such in attack in May and is still working to regain a number of online operations, including the ability to pay water bills through the city’s web interface. But from the start, officials have maintained they would not pay the ransom of 13 bitcoins–roughly $161,000 according to today’s exchange rates–to recover city networks, saying it would encourage similar attacks.
There was a lot of rain on Monday, and you know what that means, Baltimore: the city’s aging sewer system sent our sewage into the harbor.
According to the Department of Public Works, 1.3 million gallons of stormwater mixed with sewer water entered the Jones Falls thanks to the downpour.
