“I will remind everyone that this investigation only began after Michael Cohen, his former attorney, his former attorney, testified before Congress and shed light on this misconduct,” he said. The question that sparked Mr. Cohen’s response came in 2019 from Ms. James’s New York colleague, Democratic Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. In 2019, Mr. Cohen testified against his former boss before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. At the time, Ms....

A Texas sheriff said Monday night his agency will launch an investigation into the transfer of 48 Venezuelan immigrants from the state to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, a Democrat, told reporters at a news conference Monday that he understood a Venezuelan immigrant was paid a “bird dog fee” on Wednesday to recruit 50 immigrants from a San Antonio resource center. The sheriff said he believes laws were not only broken in Bexar County to transport nearly 50 immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, but that parallel laws were also broken on the federal side....

Authorities in Texas are investigating Florida Gov. Ron DeSandis over an operation to transport 50 immigrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts last week, a move that angered many Democrats and angered locals on the island. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, a Democrat, said he is opening a criminal investigation into immigrants who were “lured” from the Immigrant Resource Center under “false pretenses” and flown to Florida, where they were eventually left to fend for themselves at Martha’s ....

In passing the sentence in BC Supreme Court in Vancouver, Justice Kathleen Ker called the case tragic and heartbreaking, and said the victim’s statements, especially from his sister, spoke to the “devastating” consequences of the crime. Second degree murder carries an automatic sentence of life in prison. The question at the sentencing hearing was how long Grantham would have to wait before he could apply for parole. In delivering the verdict, Ker recounted a series of disturbing details that emerged during Grantham’s sentencing hearing last June....

Dame Vera Baird KC said she would not stay on beyond her current term on September 30, accusing the government of undermining the interests of victims, reducing her access to ministers and failing to provide clarity on reappointment her. He said he had not met the former chancellor, Dominic Raab, who resigned earlier this month, since January, a lack of engagement that reflected poorly on the Justice Department’s priorities. Dame Vera Baird will end her term as Victims’ Commissioner at the end of September....

Trois nouveaux témoignages édifiants. Ce lundi, le journal Sortie révèle les histoires de trois femmes qui accusent Patrick Poivre d’Arvor de viols et d’agressions sexuelles. Des événements qui n’entraîneront pas de poursuites, car ils sont prescrits, mais concernent un mode de fonctionnement qui a déjà été décrit dans des témoignages précédents. En témoignant, ces femmes veulent appuyer les plaintes des autres avant elles. Ces événements se déroulent dans le monde de l’édition, un milieu dans lequel le PPDA était influent et, surtout, où beaucoup connaissaient la “renommée” de la star de TF1....

In a press release Thursday, Premier Blaine Higgs said he “encourages New Brunswickers to take a moment to reflect on what we can do as individuals to promote reconciliation.” The Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn, the Mi’kmaq chiefs of New Brunswick, issued their own statement Thursday, which acknowledged their relationship with the Higgs government has been “strained.” “The recognition of this holiday does not reconcile issues or differences with the Higgs government, but it is a step in the right direction,” the statement said....

Severe damage is visible in almost every building. A huge billboard with an image of a waving Russian flag stands next to the bridge that crosses the Oskil River in the center of the city, with the words, “We are one people with Russia!” For now, the Ukrainian military has chased Russian forces over the bridge and appears to be building some momentum pushing up the eastern banks of the river toward Luhansk, a key separatist region controlled by Moscow....

Separatists and Moscow-backed officials announced earlier this week that votes would be held from Friday to Tuesday in four provinces: Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia. They claim to have broad public support for joining Russia. The referendums coincide with Russian President Vladimir Putin announcing the mobilization of some 300,000 reservists and threatening nuclear retaliation for any attacks on Russian soil, amid setbacks on the battlefield against a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Here’s a look at what the referendums will entail and their potential impact:...

Five months later, the thieves returned in the middle of the night for her other vehicle, a Lexus RX 450, but this time they were not so lucky. After the first theft in February, Lee installed a video camera that captured footage of three people trying to break into the car. “It’s really scary because it was so close,” Lee told CBC News. “Who knows what could have happened… if I had woken up in the middle of the night and seen them and then approached them?...

Conservation officials say a teenage boy was also injured when the bear charged a family of four hiking the trails of the Bear Mountain Nordic Ski Association, about six kilometers from the town in the province’s northeast. Police say rescue teams and RCMP were called to the area and searched the 23-kilometre forest trail network for an hour after receiving reports of the attack. As darkness fell, police say two RCMP officers in an all-terrain vehicle found the two women lying in the bush with life-threatening injuries....

The trial comes a month after a Texas jury ruled that Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, the parent of the fringe media organization Infowars, should award two parents nearly $50 million. Jones falsely told his audience in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that the incident was staged. He has since acknowledged that the shooting took place, but only after the charges were filed. He said in a 2019 affidavit that a “form of psychosis” caused him to make his false comments....

Hello Hello! HOW ARE WE DOING House of the Dragon fans? I ask because this was an emotional rollercoaster of an episode and I personally am still trying to process everything. From watching Daemon neatly decapitate Vaemond Velaryon after he dared to call Rhaenyra’s children bastards, to understanding how a single miscommunication between a dying Viserys and Alicent led to the massive battle that followed, a lot of gore happened, so it was easy to miss some clever and important details....

Von Maren Wittge und Dirk Böttger Blitzeinbruch in eine edle Herrenboutique! Die Beute der Kriminellen: Luxusmode und Gucci-Handtaschen.

Nach BZ-Informationen schnappten sich die Einbrecher viele wertvolle Taschen, teure Klamotten, ganze Kleiderständer und andere Dinge in der Boutique und luden alles in ihren Transporter....

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said the bodies, which have gunshot wounds, likely belong to 14-year-old Larick Woods and 18-year-old Devin Clark, who were each reported missing by their families over the weekend. The coroner has yet to officially identify the bodies, but police initially said one body is that of a white woman and the other is a black man — both under the age of 20. “While we do not yet have that confirmation, in the absence of other missing persons matching the descriptions of the individuals located, the tragic but logical conclusion is increasingly clear,” Orange County Sheriff Charles Blackwood said Monday....
