--:-- Lakshmi Singh: Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh.
--:-- Lakshmi Singh: The 2020 election interference case against President Trump in Georgia has a new prosecutor. Peter Skandalakis is taking over from Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis, who was disqualified because of an appearance of impropriety stemming from an intimate relationship with a lead investigative prosecutor.
--:-- Peter Skandalakis: I decided to assume responsibility for the case rather than allow it to be dismissed.
--:-- Lakshmi Singh: The new prosecutor says he's going through mounds of evidence related to the investigation into state charges. Trump unlawfully led others in a conspiracy to overturn the Georgia results of the 2020 presidential vote.
--:-- Peter Skandalakis: In a statement, I will then decide how best to proceed.
--:-- Lakshmi Singh: Trump has consistently rebuked cases against him, including in Georgia and New York, as Democratic and media-fueled witch hunts. His lawyers have fired back with appeals, including to the U.S. Supreme Court.

--:-- Kyle McLennigan: The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved a new policy that could limit curriculum related to race and gender identity.
--:-- Robert Shibley: The new policy effectively gives campus presidents veto power over race and gender courses. This is really a prescription for a huge amount of interference. It makes one-stop shopping for people who would like to put political pressure on these colleges to change what they are willing to teach.
--:-- James Hallmark: The new policies are not meant to introduce new limitations on scholarly inquiry. He argued the policy reinforces the balance between academic freedom and academic responsibility.
--:-- Kyle McLennigan: I'm Kyle McClendon in Houston.
