News media is beginning to gather outside of the federal courthouse in downtown Miami as a potential indictment of former President Trump in the investigation into classified documents found at his Florida residence looms. Trump could potentially be charged as early as Friday with illegally storing classified documents. Trump has maintained he didn't break any laws and he declassified the documents found at Mar-a-Lago when the FBI raided the complex in August of last year.        Forecasters say the wildfire smoke blanketing the Northeast may start lifting before the end of the day. Air quality alerts have been posted across the region after smoke from Canadian wildfires created hazardous breathing conditions. The air quality concerns caused Major League Baseball to postpone today's game between the Nationals and Diamondbacks in Washington, D.C.        The market is closing with stocks higher. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 168 points to 33-833. The S&P 500 grew by 26 points to 42-93. The Nasdaq rose by 133 points to 13-238.        The man suspected in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway is now in FBI custody and in the U.S. Joran van der Sloot is in Alabama where he faces fraud and extortion charges related to Holloway's disappearance. Holloway disappeared during a trip to Aruba and her body has never been found.        China will pay Cuba "several billion dollars" to establish a spy base focused on the southeastern U.S. That's according to the Wall Street Journal which cited U.S. officials familiar with highly classified intelligence. The electronic eavesdropping facility on the island country would be about 100 miles from Florida.        American Airlines customers are being allowed to rebook flights without fees due to the smoky conditions in the Northeast. The airlines said passengers traveling to certain airports in nine states and Washington, D.C. and booked the flight by June 7th will have their change fees waived if they want to still travel to the same city. Smoke from hundreds of wildfires in Canada have caused unhealthy air conditions in cities like Philadelphia and New York City.
