WASHINGTON (AP) — Some victims of the mass shootings in southern California and their families will file documents encouraging a U.S. magistrate judge to uphold her order that Apple Inc. help the FBI hack into a locked iPhone as part of the terrorism investigation, a lawyer said Monday.
A Los Angeles attorney, Stephen Larson, said he represents at least several families of victims and other employees he declined to identify but who were involved in the shootings. He said the U.S. attorney in the case, Ellen Decker, sought his help. Larson said he will file a brief supporting the Justice Department before March 3.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy says the Republican race is a two-man contest between front-runner Donald Trump and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
The No. 2 Republican in the House said on Monday that Trump's victory in South Carolina dealt a blow to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's strategy to win the nomination.
