Chow requested Monday’s second bond hearing after a judge initially denied his bond on the murder charge almost two years ago. “He was shot in the back, an act of cowardice and cruelty...

If it were me, and I’d just won a large judgment based on my claim that I experienced forceful sexual assault in a department store dressing room by an aggressive and powerful man who towers over me, an experience that caused me severe trauma after the event, I wouldn’t write a book capitalizing on one of my attackers most iconic catchprases, and I certainly wouldn’t be tweeting about him nonstop, nearly thirty years after the act at the center of my lawsuit. I would want to block that man out of my life as much as possible lest his name,...

Speaking to the New York Post from Sherburne County Jail, Boelter said that his motive was not what people have speculated. “You are fishing and I can’t talk about my...

Still reveling in his political comeback after surviving two near-miss assassination attempts, last December, then-President-elect Trump stopped by the Christmas party of the Secret Service detail that was responsible for both saving his life and the failures that nearly ended it. Trump, at the time, responded to the mixed feelings in trademark fashion: He regaled the agents gathered for some light-hearted celebration after a turbulent few months but didn’t mince words for one junior agent who was charged with leading security for the Butler and he appeared to hold responsible for some of the most glaring failures. “As you guys...

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov flew to North Korea’s eastern Wonsan city on Friday for a meeting with his North Korean counterpart Choe Son Hui. Relations between Russia and North Korea have been flourishing in recent years, with North Korea supplying troops and ammunitions to support Russia’s war against Ukraine in return for military and economic assistance. That has raised concerns among South Korea, the U.S. and others that Russia might also transfer to North Korea sensitive technologies that can increase the danger of its nuclear and missile programs. After a meeting with Choe on Saturday, Lavrov accused the U.S.,...

A new report from the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) outlines the U.S. Secret Service's security failures during the first attempted assassination of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., one year ago. The report, ordered by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveals that the Secret Service received classified intelligence regarding a threat to Trump’s life 10 days before the rally, but failed to share the information with other key agencies. It also identified a series of procedural and planning mistakes, including "misallocation of resources, lack of training and pervasive communication failures" that led...

Republicans were rocked last night by growing speculation that Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst would soon announce her retirement next year. As was widely reported, the Hawkeye State lawmaker has so far only about $1 million — a small amount for a well-known incumbent — in her campaign coffers. Should Ernst step down Rep. Ashley Hinson would run for the seat. A former TV anchor and stalwart Trump supporter, Hinson, 42, has long made no secret of her desire to run for the Senate in 2028 when Chuck Grassley is expected to retire at age 95.
