This is AP News Minute.

At least two dozen are reported dead after a massive volcanic¹ eruption² in Guatemala. Authorities say rescue crews are struggling to reach rural communities cut off by the blast.

President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani says the President could pardon himself in the Russia probe. However, he calls it "unthinkable" and says it probably would lead to impeachment³.

Northern New Mexico officials say a wild fire that has scorched⁴ at least 32,000 acres is not contained. They also say efforts to protect a community from the fire are successful so far.

And SpaceX launched a Falcon⁵ 9 Rocket from Florida early Monday. The rocket deployed⁶ a communications satellite about a half-hour after liftoff.
