Hunter Biden is expected to plead not guilty Tuesday to federal firearms charges in a Delaware-based federal court during an arraignment that will mark the first time a sitting president's child has appeared to fight criminal charges in court. President Joe Biden's son was indicted by special counsel David Weiss last month for allegedly lying on a federal gun form and illegally owning a firearm while using illegal drugs. Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke will preside over the hearing Tuesday, according to CNN. Last month he rejected Hunter Biden's request to appear virtually for the first hearing in the case, requiring...

Joe couldn’t resist the media forever. President Biden largely ignored his press pool while taking another leisurely bike ride Thursday morning, shouting a one-word answer to a CNN photographer who asked if he would be following his predecessor’s arraignment on federal charges in connection with the aftermath of the 2020 election. “Mr. President, will you be following the arraignment today, sir?” asked cameraman Jay McMichael as the commander-in-chief cycled toward him along a path in Rehoboth Beach, Del. “No,” the 80-year-old Biden answered as he pedaled by. Earlier, the president refused to answer queries about topics including the arraignment of...

The grand jury that will vote out an indictment on Donald Trump — or not — isn’t sitting today, delaying DA Alvin Bragg’s big moment in the sun of getting to arrest the former president. Trump has reportedly told aides that as long as he’s going to be arrested and processed, he may as well make a “spectacle” of the event. He has allegedly made it known to several aides that he wants to be handcuffed and perp-walked into the courthouse. Trump believes that refusing special treatment — a “remote” surrender or him arriving at the courthouse surreptitiously — would...

A parolee charged with killing a University of Illinois at Chicago honor student spotted her as she walked alone past a CTA Blue Line stop on campus early Saturday morning and grew angered when she ignored his repeated attempts to talk, Cook County prosecutors alleged Tuesday.

With his arm still wrapped around her neck, Thurman dragged an unconscious George to her car and threw her in the back seat, where he sexually...

Embattled attorney Michael Avenatti will have a busy day in Manhattan federal court Tuesday -- but as a defendant, not as counsel.

He also is scheduled to be arraigned on charges that he stole nearly $300,000 from adult film actress Stormy Daniels, the client who rocketed him to national prominence. In the Nike case, Avenatti is charged...

Where is the USS New York? At 684 feet long and displacing over 24,900 tons, the Mayport, Fla.-based San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock is no smart car of the seas. Yet the vessel has gone “dark” for more than a week now. The low profile might have something to do with the fact that the New York is currently home to the recently captured Ahmed Abu Khattala, one of the accused ringleaders of the Sept. 11-12, 2012, Benghazi terrorist attacks that left four Americans dead. While any ship’s location is supposed to be a well-guarded secret when deployed, the New...
