GEOFF BENNETT: In the day's other headlines, after his prime minister was ousted by his Parliament, French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to stay in office until the end of his term.

The no-confidence vote in the National Assembly yesterday forced Prime Minister Michel Barnier to step down after just three months.

That's the shortest tenure of any prime minister in modern French history.

It also left the country without a functioning government.

In a fiery, defiant televised address, Macron blamed the chaos on opposition lawmakers for putting their own interests above the country.

EMMANUEL MACRON, French President (through translator): Yesterday, the government lost a no-confidence vote, despite the concessions made by Prime Minister Barnier, because the far right and far left joined together in an anti-Republican front.

I will never take the blame for the lack of responsibility of others, notably, lawmakers who choose knowingly to bring down the government of France.

GEOFF BENNETT: Macron has said he will name a new prime minister within days.

The replacement will have to lead a deeply divided Parliament where no party holds a majority.

In New York City, the manhunt continues for the suspect who stalked and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson yesterday.

Today, the NYPD released this photo taken in the lobby of a nearby hostel of a man wanted for questioning and connection to the killing.

Law enforcement officials also said shell casings found at the scene were inscribed with the words "Deny, defend and depose."

Some of those are terms associated with ways insurance avoids paying claims, though police say they're still working to establish a motive for the killing.

The Department of Justice has found that Memphis police routinely used excessive force and discriminated against the city's Black residents.

That's after a 17-month investigation prompted by the fatal beating of a Black man, Tyre Nichols, during a traffic stop last year.

The report said Memphis officers cite or arrest Black people for things like disorderly conduct at nearly four times the rate of whites.

It also found officers would punch or kick people who were already handcuffed or restrained.

Today, DOJ's top civil rights attorney said that was a breach of public trust.

KRISTEN CLARKE, Assistant U.S. Attorney General: The practices I described, however, violate the Constitution and federal law.

They harm and demean people, and they promote distrust, undermining the fundamental safety mission of a police department.

GEOFF BENNETT: The DOJ said it could sue if the city doesn't agree to what's called a consent decree, requiring Memphis police to pursue reforms under federal oversight.

Memphis' mayor says the city has already made positive changes to its policing and pushed back on the need for a binding deal.

On Capitol Hill today, acting Director Ronald Rowe faced a grilling from a bipartisan House task force investigating the shooting.

Lawmakers pushed for answers about communication failures between Secret Service and local police and how agents missed or didn't speak up about glaring security vulnerabilities at the rally.

Congressman Jason Crow pressed the acting director.

REP. JASON CROW (D-CO): Can you speak to that culture and how you change that culture so that folks speak up and everybody's empowered to make necessary changes, on the spot if they need to?

RONALD ROWE, Acting U.S. Secret Service Director: We have to get back to that.

And I think training, which touches everything from the cradle of your career all the way to the end of your career, training is where we need to make that investment.

GEOFF BENNETT: The task force will release a report on its findings along with recommendations later this month.
