Prince Harry is contradicting himself
 THE BIG STORY
A prosecutor sexually harassed women across the federal government, a watchdog agency found
According to a report from the Justice Department inspector general's office obtained by BuzzFeed News, a federal prosecutor sexually harassed multiple women he worked with over the span of several years — including an intern, a fellow prosecutor, an FBI analyst, and a postal inspector.
The assistant US attorney's name is redacted in the report. But the allegations confirmed by the inspector general's office included one instance of physical harassment — the prosecutor touched the intern's breast while reaching for a law book "and stared at her the entire time," according to the report.
The IG's office also described a wide array of "inappropriate" and "sexually charged" comments and messages the prosecutor directed toward the intern and other women he encountered in the course of his work.
The women who reported being harassed told investigators that the prosecutor's behavior interfered with their work and that they made arrangements to avoid meetings or other contact with him.  Samuel Corum / Getty Images STAYING ON TOP OF THIS
The Justice Department is dropping a Capitol riot prosecution for the first time
Christopher Kelly was arrested two weeks after the insurrection and charged with obstruction of an official proceeding, which is a felony crime, and several misdemeanor counts for illegally entering the Capitol.
More than four months later, a prosecutor notified the judge in Kelly's case that the government wanted to withdraw the charges. They didn't offer details about why, only saying that it "serves the interests of justice."
This marks the first time federal prosecutors dropped one of the 450-plus cases filed against people accused of descending on the US Capitol on Jan. 6. SNAPSHOTS

Emotional photos show how Tulsa is marking 100 years since a massacre
Yesterday in this newsletter, we covered the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre. In 1921, as many as 300 Black people were killed by a white mob, including National Guard soldiers and other members of law enforcement, during the infamous Tulsa massacre.
The violence caused the destruction of the city's Greenwood neighborhood, a prosperous area that was known at the time as Black Wall Street.
Tulsa is trying to grapple with its brutal history. Vigils, parades, murals, and ceremonies are trying to educate the public and acknowledge the long-standing pain — both emotional and physical — from a century ago.
We collected some incredible photos from the events marking the 100th anniversary. Here's one:  People hold candles during a vigil for the centennial commemorations of the Tulsa massacre in the historic Greenwood neighborhood, May 31, 2021.

Look, I know a lot of us say we'd do anything for our pets, but.. Uh, for most people, that likely doesn't include getting into it with a bear.
But 17-year-old Hailey Morinico is not "most people." So when a mama bear and her two cubs get into a situation with her pups, Morinico sprints toward the bear and gives it a shove. She quickly scoops up her puppy and bolts. It is wild to watch.
The whole encounter is jaw-dropping, and people are losing their minds about it. Turn toward something that makes you feel capable and free today, Elamin 📝 This letter was edited and brought to you by Elamin Abdelmahmoud and BuzzFeed News. You can always reach us here.
