P.M. Edition for Aug. 11. President Trump didn’t fly out of Turkey in his new Air Force One last month, instead using an elaborate decoy operation. WSJ chief political correspondent Josh Dawsey runs through the new details about how and why that happened. Plus, the University of Michigan says it will drop first-semester grades for freshmen next school year. Doug Belkin, who covers higher education for the Journal, discusses how it will work and why the university made this decision. And some of the top officials in global soccer are calling for FIFA president Gianni Infantino to resign. We hear from WSJ sports editor Joshua Robinson about what the drama could mean for future competitions. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.
