WASHINGTON - A federal judge has demanded Roger Stone explain why the conditions of his release and freedom to talk about the charges against him should not be changed days after he posted a photograph of that judge to his Instagram page that included her name, a close-up of her face and what appeared to be the crosshairs of a gun sight near her head.
'The pope ignored them': Alleged abuse of deaf children on two continents points to Vatican failings
LUJAN DE CUYO, Argentina -When investigators swept in and raided the religious Antonio Provolo Institute for the Deaf, they uncovered one of the worst cases yet among the global abuse scandals plaguing the Catholic Church: a place of silent torment where prosecutors say pedophiles preyed on the most isolated and submissive children.
Karl Lagerfeld, a German-born couturier whose reinvention of the luxury fashion house Chanel made him one of the most well-known and influential fashion designers of the late-20th century, died Feb. 19. Chanel confirmed his death, according to the Associated Press. Other details - including his exact age, which was long the subject of mystery - were not immediately available. The AP reported that he was approximately 85. With his crystal white ponytail and dark sunglasses, Lagerfeld was an instantly recognizable fixture in the orbit of fashion and popular culture.
Days after a federal judge imposed a limited gag order on him, Trump confidant Roger Stone posted a photograph of that judge to his Instagram page and included her name, a close-up of her face and what appeared to be the crosshairs of a gun sight near her head. Stone deleted the picture soon after, then reposted it without the crosshairs before deleting the second post.
MIAMI - President Donald Trump on Monday urged senior members of the Venezuelan military to abandon President Nicolas Maduro and switch their allegiance to congress leader Juan Guaido, threatening that those who do not will "lose everything" fighting to defend a failed socialist system. "The eyes of the entire world are upon you, today, every day, and every day in the future," Trump said during a speech at Florida International University in Miami. "You cannot hide from the choice that now confronts you.
WASHINGTON - A coalition of 16 states filed a federal lawsuit Monday to block President Donald Trump's plan to build a border wall without permission from Congress, arguing that the president's decision to declare a national emergency is unconstitutional. The lawsuit, brought by states with Democratic governors - except for one, Maryland - seeks a preliminary injunction that would prevent the president from acting on his emergency declaration while the case plays out in the courts.
President Donald Trump on Monday hurled sharp criticism at Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, accusing him of engaging in "illegal and treasonous" activity. The president trained his ire on Rosenstein - a member of his own administration - and two bygone officials from the Trump Justice Department, former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, in a pair of morning tweets.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey O. Graham, R-S.C., said Sunday that his panel will investigate former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe's claim that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein raised the possibility of ousting President Donald Trump through the 25th Amendment, calling the statement "beyond stunning." Graham was responding to comments made by McCabe in an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" set to air Sunday night.
WASHINGTON - When President Donald Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border Friday, he stood in the Rose Garden and spoke in hyperbole. The United States was dealing with "an invasion of drugs, invasion of gangs, invasion of people" and a wall was absolutely necessary, he claimed. Video: President Trump declared a national emergency to build a border wall on Feb. 15. Here's what you missed.
None other than Ann Coulter declared on Friday, "The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot." She has a point. The president's declaration, in the words of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., amounts to "a power grab by a disappointed President, who has gone outside the bounds of the law to try to get what he failed to achieve in the constitutional legislative process."
