Washington Post report shows Trump could have avoided federal indictment in Miami

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:58 GMT

A recent report by The Washington Post has uncovered that former President Donald Trump had the opportunity to negotiate a settlement with the Justice Department that could have prevented his federal indictment. However, Trump rejected the idea and disregarded the advice of his attorney Christopher Kise, who had proposed the settlement in the fall of 2022. The report details how Kise, one of Trump’s attorneys at the time, intended to quietly approach the Justice Department to negotiate a deal that would have precluded charges against the former president. Regrettably for Trump, he disregarded this proposal after consulting with other attorneys who dissuaded him from pursuing a settlement.On Tuesday, Donald Trump became the first former president in history to be arrested on federal charges and faced a federal judge. The indictment against him includes a staggering 37 counts, accusing the former president of mishandling highly sensitive documents. Trump is alleged to have taken...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:58 GMT

LONDON — Officials from the European Union, Malaysia and Singapore are skeptical about the United States’ efforts to cut China out of the global high-tech trading system, expressing reluctance to join Washington as it works to throttle the rapid expansion of the world’s second-largest economy into a global technology power.Speaking at POLITICO’s Global Tech Day on Thursday, David Koh, chief executive of Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency, said his country had grown rich because of its open economy and would continue to build ties with China. Lucilla Sioli, a senior official within the European Commission’s DG CONNECT, added that Brussels would continue to work with Beijing, even as some European countries became increasingly wary of potential economic dependencies on China.“For Malaysia, China is an important trading partner,” added Fahmi Fadzil, Malaysia’s communications and digital minister, who was also speaking at the event in London. “Ma...

KYIV — As Ukraine’s counteroffensive ramps up, Russia announced plans to conduct local elections in the occupied territories of Ukraine, where active fighting is taking place.Elections in “the new subjects of the Russian Federation will be held on a single voting day on September 10, 2023,” the Russian Central Election Commission said in a statement Thursday.Russia calls territories it occupies in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson “the new subjects of the Russian Federation.” In last year’s sham referenda in the regions, according to Russia, the majority of Ukrainians voted in favor of joining Russia.  The U.N. and a majority of countries around the world condemned the referenda as illegitimate and undemocratic as they were conducted during the armed conflict and under occupation. Since then, the Kherson region has been liberated by the Ukrainian army.  The U.N. and a majority of countries around the world condemned the refere...

Unhappy birthday, Boris: How MPs will vote to punish Johnson as he turns 59

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:58 GMT

LONDON — Worst birthday ever?Three-and-a-half years ago Boris Johnson led Conservative MPs to a thumping election victory. On Monday, they’ll vote on whether or not to ban him from parliament. In a cruel twist of fate for the former British prime minister, Monday’s action coincides with him turning 59.A long-awaited probe released Thursday concluded that Johnson repeatedly misled the House of Commons over his knowledge of lockdown-busting gatherings that took place on government property during the coronavirus pandemic. The cross-party privileges committee came down even harder than expected on Johnson, who protests his innocence and has slammed the inquiry. Among its sanctions, the committee recommended Johnson — who quit as an MP before the findings were published — not be given a former member’s pass granting access to the parliamentary estate, a de facto ban and an unprecedented punishment for such a senior figure.Now MPs will have to decide if they back the in...
