Two National Guard members have been shot in Washington, DC. That's according to the Department of Homeland Security. It happened just blocks from the White House. DC Police say the suspect is in custody. The White House is reportedly on lock down and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump, who is in Florida, has been briefed.        Millions are hitting the roads and airports as Thanksgiving approaches. Today is typically the busiest day on the road, and may feel even busier this year. Triple-A expects a new record, with at least 73 million people traveling by car -- accounting for about 90-percent of all Thanksgiving travelers.        The 2020 Georgia election interference case against President Trump has been dropped. On Wednesday, a judge granted a motion by the new prosecutor to drop the case that accused Trump and others of attempting to overturn the election results. In a statement, Trump's legal team said the "political persecution of President Trump by disqualified" Fulton County DA Fani [[ faw-NEE ]] Willis is over.        House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer is sharing concerns that conspiracy theories could drown out the Jeffery Epstein investigation. During a recent interview with Politico, Chair James Comer drew comparisons to the 1964 report led by Chief Justice Earl Warren on the assassination of former President Kennedy. The Republican congressman shared he fears the report will be like the Warren Report and "nobody will ever believe it."        Coca Cola is facing legal action from Johnny Cash's estate. According to a lawsuit, the claim centers on Coca-Cola's "Fan Work Is Thirsty Work" advertisement for the 2025 college football season which depicted fans drinking its products to a recording that sounded "remarkably like the Voice of Johnny Cash." Cash's trust believes a tribute singer was hired to record the vocal track for the ad and trick consumers into believing it was Cash's actual voice.        There's a full schedule of college basketball games today with some marquee teams in action. Number six Michigan will play number ten Gonzaga in the Players Era Festival championship. At the same event, number 13 Iowa State defeated Syracuse, while number two Houston will play Notre Dame shortly.
