House GOP demands info from NY prosecutor about Trump case

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 03:38:03 GMT

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — House Republicans rallied to the defense of former President Donald Trump ahead of his possible indictment, demanding that the Manhattan district attorney who is investigating him turn over documents and come for an interview. The Republican chairmen of three House committees sent a letter Monday to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, seeking information about his actions in the Trump case, which they characterized as an “unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority.” They requested testimony as well as documents and copies of any communications with the Justice Department.No authorities wanted to take the case but then “what changed? President Trump announces he’s running for president and shazam,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said shortly after sending the letter.The letter to Bragg — effectively demanding transparency in the middle of a criminal investigation — suggested that Republicans intend to use ...

Biden signs bill on COVID origins declassification

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 03:38:03 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan bill Monday that directs the federal government to declassify as much intelligence as possible about the origins of COVID-19 more than three years after the start of the pandemic.The legislation, which passed both the House and Senate without dissent, directs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to declassify intelligence related to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. It cites “potential links” between the research that was done there and the outbreak of COVID-19, which the World Health Organization declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The law allows for redactions to protect sensitive sources and methods.U.S. intelligence agencies are divided over whether a lab leak or a spillover from animals is the likely source of the deadly virus. Experts say the true origin of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 1.1 million in the U.S. and millions more around the globe, may not be known for many years...

Montana senator wants to block mandatory diversity training

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 03:38:03 GMT

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Republican lawmaker in Montana wants to prohibit mandatory diversity training for state employees with a bill whose language matches a Florida law that is temporarily blocked by the courts.The proposed “Montana Individual Freedom Act,” would prohibit diversity, equity and inclusion training as a condition of state employment if the training is aimed at having the employee believe that a group of people are responsible for “and must feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress,” for historical injustices. A House committee heard testimony Monday after the Senate passed the bill on party lines. “I find it interesting and confusing that we’re trying to legislate emotional responses,” the executive director of the Montana Human Rights Network, Angelina Gonzalez-Aller, said Monday when she testified in opposition to the bill before a House committee.“I have no doubts that this is little more than a censorship attempt rooted in a coordin...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — An event that would have been unthinkable not even a decade ago is coming to Las Vegas this week. That’s March Madness.The NCAA Tournament avoided the city until now because sports gambling is legal here. The governing body for collegiate athletics even had a policy in place of not allowing its championship events to be played in Nevada.Gone are those times. With sports betting abound, the NCAA has no qualms about placing its championships in Las Vegas. The West Region games at T-Mobile Arena are among the many championship events the NCAA awarded to the city.Others include hockey’s Frozen Four in 2026, the Final Four in 2028, and a shot at the College Football Playoff National Championship as early as 2027.This no longer is Jerry Tarkanian’s Las Vegas, at least in the eyes of the NCAA, which for many years had fought with the UNLV Hall of Fame coach who sued the governing body and settled in 1998 for $2.5 million.Between the outlaw image of Tarkanian and an overall...
