Ben Jones, best known for playing mechanic Cooter in 141 episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard from 1979 to 1985, has died at 84 after suffering a massive heart attack while waiting to watch an Atlanta Braves game. His wife, Alma Viator, announced the death and described his life and relationships in loving terms. Former co-star Tom Wopat and fans paid tribute to Jones, who later pursued a career in politics and remained warmly remembered in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

Donald Trump criticised NBC and ABC after they chose not to broadcast his scheduled White House address live, instead streaming it online. He accused both networks of corruption and alleged they were avoiding coverage because his remarks focused on disproven election fraud claims. Brian Stelter first reported the networks’ decision, while White House communications director Steven Cheung condemned the move. ABC later stated it would provide coverage through its digital and radio platforms and break into programming if major developments occurred.
