In a stunning admission during testimony on Monday, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen confessed to stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization. Cohen revealed that he had inflated the amount he claimed to have paid a tech company, Red Finch, for services rendered to the organization. The bombshell confession came after Trump attorney Todd Blanche directly questioned Cohen. “You stole from the Trump Org, right?” Blanche asked pointedly. Without hesitation, Cohen responded, “Yes, sir.” This admission stems from Cohen’s previous testimony last week, where he detailed how he and former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg had calculated…

Kevin Spacey’s potential return to Hollywood has sparked a chorus of support from renowned stars like Sharon Stone and Liam Neeson, who believe he has been unjustly sidelined for seven years. Despite being cleared by courts in both the UK and the US of allegations of sexual assault, Spacey has faced ostracism from the entertainment industry since 2017.

During his visit to Spain on Friday, Argentina’s President Javier Milei delivered a scathing denouncement of what he labeled as “satanic” socialism, highlighting his libertarian ideals in a speech about his books. “We must not allow the dark, black, satanic, atrocious, horrible, carcinogenic side that is socialism to prevail over us,” he proclaimed. However, Milei’s remarks drew criticism from Spanish Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz, who accused him of sowing “hatred” during a forum at her ministry. “There aren’t many who sow hate, but they make a lot of noise and flood everything,” Diaz remarked, referencing Milei and other proponents of…
When Donald Trump took the stage at a CNN town hall in Manchester, New Hampshire, one year ago, a crowd of his supporters effectively took control of the event. Joe Biden’s advisers took note. They decided privately that if Biden ever faced Trump on a debate stage, there would be no audience present. This demand became part of Biden’s reelection campaign proposal to Trump this week for their two general election debates, one in June and the other in September. An empty TV studio, Biden aides believe, could deprive Trump of a significant advantage during their face-off. “Trump feeds off…
The highly anticipated ‘new era’ of strategic partnership between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping commenced in Beijing on Thursday. Though it wasn’t sealed with a kiss, it did feature rare hugs between the two leaders. As Russia faces Western sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine, it increasingly depends on its expanding trade with China. China, in turn, is challenging U.S. dominance in areas like quantum computing, espionage, and military power. President Xi, typically reserved in his displays of affection, hugged Putin twice, gripping him by the shoulders. Footage from state broadcaster CCTV showed the leaders embracing…
In a significant move to reduce fossil fuel extraction, the Biden administration announced on Thursday that it will halt new coal leasing in the Powder River Basin, a region responsible for nearly half of the United States’ coal production. This decision has been celebrated by climate activists who have long urged the Interior Department to cease coal mining leases on public lands. The cessation could prevent billions of tons of coal from being extracted across more than 13 million acres in Montana and Wyoming, posing substantial implications for U.S. climate goals. Federal lands and waters are significant sources of the…
A former U.S. Army sergeant convicted of fatally shooting a Black Lives Matter protester in Austin, Texas during the 2020 riots has been pardoned by Governor Greg Abbott. Daniel Perry was found guilty last year of murdering Garrett Foster and sentenced to 25 years in prison for the July 2020 killing. However, just days after the conviction, Abbott requested the Texas parole board review Perry’s case for a potential pardon. On Thursday, the board unanimously recommended pardoning Perry, which Abbott swiftly approved, citing the state’s robust “Stand Your Ground” self-defense laws. Perry was released from prison within hours. “Texas has…
