Next came the hottest week, a tad more official, stamped into the books by the World Meteorological Organization and the Japanese Meteorological Agency.

FILE - Special counsel Jack Smith speaks about an indictment of former President Donald Trump, Aug. 1, 2023, at a Department of Justice office in Washington. Federal prosecutors in the case charging Trump with scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election are seeking an order that would restrict the former president from 'inflammatory' and 'intimidating' comments about witnesses, lawyers and the judge. Smith's team said in a motion filed Friday, Sept. 15, that such a 'narrow, well-defined' order was necessary to preserve the integrity of the case and to avoid prejudicing potential jurors.
