Fattah Closing Arguments, Icandy Adds Security, Two Orlando Shooting Victims From Philadelphia

Closing arguments are set for Monday in the racketeering conspiracy trial of Philadelphia Congressman Chaka Fattah. When the political corruption trial of Philadelphia Congressman Chaka Fattah began in mid-May, it was thought the case would last at least eight weeks. Despite its complexities â€“ there were 900,000 pages of documents to sift through â€“ it's wrapping up in its fourth week. Federal prosecutors spent three weeks laying out their charges in the 29-count indictment, contending Fattah and four "loyal subordinates" who were part of his inner circle "were all in it to boost the congressman's financial and political fortunes." Prosecutors needed to wheel in two shopping carts worth of binders to present their case, sifting through chains of emails, checks, grand jury testimony, and documents they collected.

The mass shooting at the Orlando nightclub where a gunman attacked members of the LGBT community is putting many people celebrating pride around the country on edge. A Philadelphia club hosting a large pride party Sunday took the necessary precautions to help keep their patrons safe. The line to get into the gayborhood club, Icandy, stretched down the street with people excited to party.

The city of Orlando has started to release the names of the victims killed in the nightclub shooting. There are 50 in total. On Sunday afternoon the city posted the first four names to a blog on cityoforlando.net. The post will be updated as the city works to reach more victimsâ€™ next of kin. Two of the people killed are from Philadelphia. As of Sunday night their names have not yet been released. A news intern working in Philadelphia was among the victims shot and is expected to recover.
