What to do if your July 4th travel doesn't go as planned
As the July 4th weekend is expected to see record travel, Hopper lead economist Hayley Berg joins Wealth! to discuss how to best navigate flight disruptions and delays. "Over weekends like this where there's so much capacity flying, oftentimes we do see spikes in delay and cancellation rates, whether it's weather or just those domino effect delays," Berg explains. She says the best thing travelers can do is plan before getting to the airport. She encourages travelers to make note of other flights going to the same destination, whether from the same airport or nearby airports. She adds that early flights are preferred as those that depart before 8 a.m. are less likely to be delayed or canceled. Berg encourages travelers to insure their trips, especially bucket-list vacations to Europe and Asia: "Traditional travel insurance can help you if you happen to break a leg, get sick in another country, help cover medical expenses. Sometimes we'll cover things like lost baggage, but there are more specific types of protection products that are really important for travelers in the summer months and over the holidays."

US Supreme Court leaves Judge Tanya Chutkan to parse Trump immunity
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity leaves Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine how much of the federal criminal case involving Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 election can survive. The 6-3 ruling on Monday, with the court's conservatives in the majority, declared that Trump has broad protection from criminal prosecution for actions that fell within his official responsibilities as president under the U.S. Constitution. The court delegated to Chutkan, a judge on the U.S. district court in Washington, the complex task of determining how to apply that immunity in the four-count criminal indictment obtained last year by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
