(CNN) — Fiscales de la oficina del fiscal de distrito de Manhattan le pidieron al juez que supervisa el caso penal de Donald Trump que imponga una orden de protección que restrinja la capacidad del expresidente de publicar información sobre la investigación.En una moción, los fiscales le dijeron al juez que el equipo de Trump no daría su consentimiento para una orden de protección.“El riesgo de que este demandado use los materiales cubiertos de manera inapropiada es sustancial. El acusado tiene un largo historial de discutir sus asuntos legales públicamente, incluso dirigiéndose a testigos, jurados, investigadores, fiscales y jueces con declaraciones acosadoras, vergonzosas y amenazantes en redes sociales y en otros foros públicos, y ya lo ha hecho en este caso”, escribieron los fiscales en la presentación.Los fiscales de Manhattan han acusado a Trump de falsificar registros comerciales con la intención de ocultar una conducta ilegal relacionada con su campaña presidencial de ...

Florida firefighter faces backlash after posing as Hitler in photo

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:48:01 GMT

MELBOURNE, Fla. (WSVN) — A Florida firefighter is facing backlash after a photo of him posing as Adolf Hitler surfaced, amid a rise in hateful acts in the community.“Unfortunately, I can’t say I’m shocked. I wish I could because that would actually make this easier if this was a random, out-of-the-norm incident, but unfortunately, these types of incidents have become normalized,” said Linda Maurice, the executive director of the Jewish Council of North Central Florida.According to a recently filed complaint, the Melbourne Fire Department is investigating the incident which allegedly showed a firefighter wearing a combat helmet and fake mustache, appearing to look like Hitler, and even doing the Nazi salute.“Who dresses like Hitler these days? It’s just unconscionable,” said Maurice. “We all make mistakes about things we say and do, but the fact that he stood there in front of a camera, is an intentional action. Education can go a...

PMQs scorecard: Non-dom ding dong as Starmer and Sunak clash on the economy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:48:01 GMT

Prime minister’s questions: a shouty, jeery, very occasionally useful advert for British politics. Here’s what you need to know from this week’s session in POLITICO U.K.’s weekly run-through.What they sparred about: Amid conflict in Sudan and the looming votes on Rishi Sunak’s small boats bill later Wednesday, Keir Starmer opted to focus instead on grilling Sunak on the economy. After quoting former Tory Chancellor George Osborne — who branded Liz Truss’ government “economic vandals” — the Labour leader argued Sunak is “clueless” about the cost of living crisis hitting the public. New nickname of the week: Fresh from being dubbed “Sir Softie” by Sunak last week, Starmer had a tax-related comeback prepared: calling Sunak “Mister 24 tax rises.” Not sure that one will stick. What will stick however: When asked why the government won’t scrap the non-dom system — a tax break formerly used by his wife — Sunak referred to it as &#...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:48:01 GMT

China’s President Xi Jinping called his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday.“I had a long and meaningful phone call with [Chinese] President Xi Jinping,” Zelenskyy tweeted. “I believe that this call, as well as the appointment of Ukraine’s ambassador to China, will give a powerful impetus to the development of our bilateral relations.”This marks the first time the Chinese leader — who had only met Russia’s Vladimir Putin since he launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago — has reached out to Kyiv amid Western pressure to do so.No information has yet been released about the precise content of the conversation, which was also reported on by Chinese state media Xinhua. Zelenskyy’s spokesman Sergii Nikiforov said in a Facebook post the discussion lasted for almost an hour, adding that he would reveal details later.Zelenskyy had previously called on Xi publicly to make contact with him, after China ...

South Africa moves to quit ICC over Putin arrest warrant — then backs down

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:48:01 GMT

South Africa’s presidential office backtracked on comments made by President Cyril Ramaphosa, who said the country should leave the International Criminal Court after it issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin. “The Presidency wishes to clarify that South Africa remains a signatory to the Rome Statute,” Ramaphosa’s office said in a statement Tuesday, adding that the president made the comments “erroneously.” Earlier Tuesday, the South African president said his party, the ANC, had “taken that decision that it is prudent that South Africa should pull out of the ICC.”South Africa’s disquiet follows the Hague-based court’s decision to issue an international arrest warrant last month against Putin over the forced deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia. An important ally to Moscow, South Africa has enjoyed a historically close relationship with Russia, and has refused to cut ties&...

Leaking Russia sanctions send floods of cash to ex-Soviet countries

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:48:01 GMT

TBILISI, Georgia — Western sanctions imposed on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine mean big business elsewhere in the former Soviet Union, as middlemen race to cash in on reselling unavailable goods to Russia.Those new supply chains — which are keeping Russians well-stocked with alcohol, luxury goods and other Western products — undermine Europe’s efforts to punish Moscow and should be blocked, Gabrielius Landsbergis, Lithuania’s foreign minister, told POLITICO.“Circumvention of EU sanctions is not only a shortsighted decision — it undermines the basic principles of our union,” Landsbergis said in response to data that shows a handful of countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia are booming as hubs for indirect trade with Russia.Customs records from the Trade Data Monitor platform, seen by POLITICO, show neighboring Georgia has seen the volume of its trade with Russia shoot up almost 22 percent in the year since Moscow began its all-out invasion of Ukraine, while t...
