◆TRANSCRIPT

This is AP News Minute.

A newly leaked document says Russian hackers attacked at least one US voting software supplier just days before the 2016 election, but the National Security Agency document didn't say whether the hacking attempt affected election results.

London authorities named two of the three suspects in Saturday's London Bridge attack that killed seven people. Khuram Shazad Butt had appeared in a television documentary extremists and was known to investigators. But authorities say they weren't familiar with Rachid Redouane.

Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial continues near Philadelphia Tuesday. In opening statements, a prosecutor urged jurors to focus on Cosby, not the fictional characters he created.

In Scottsdale, Arizona, authorities say an elderly man drove an SUV through a wall and into a swimming pool. The driver was safely rescued and sent to a hospital as precaution.

Matt Small, the Associated Press with AP News Minute.
