Published 2:48 pm Monday, November 25, 2024 By Associated Press WASHINGTON — Special counsel Jack Smith moved to abandon two criminal cases against Donald Trump on Monday, acknowledging that Trump’s return to the White House will preclude attempts to federally prosecute him for retaining classified documents or trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat. The decision was inevitable, since longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. Yet it was still a momentous finale to an unprecedented chapter in political and law enforcement history, as federal officials attempted to hold accountable a former president while he was simultaneously running for another term. In court filings, Smith’s team emphasized that the move to abandon their prosecutions was not a reflection of the merit of the cases but a recognition of the legal shield that surrounds any commander in chief. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” the prosecutors wrote in one of their filings. Smith’s team said it was leaving intact charges against two co-defendants in the classified documents case — Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira — because “no principle of temporary immunity applies to them.” Steven Cheung, Trump’s incoming White House communications director, welcomed the decision to drop the prosecutions against the president-elect, describing it as a “major victory for the rule of law.” “The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country,” Cheung said in a statement. Trump has long described the investigations as politically motivated, and he has vowed to fire Smith as soon as he takes office in January. Now he will re-enter the White House free from criminal scrutiny by the government that he will lead. The election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing Trump as he tried to reclaim the White House. He was indicted for plotting to overturn his defeat to Joe Biden in 2020, an effort that climaxed with his supporters’ violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But the case quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Smith’s team in October filed a lengthy brief laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will of voters after he lost to Biden. The separate case involving classified documents had been widely seen as legally clear cut, especially because the conduct in question occurred after Trump left the White House and lost the powers of the presidency. The indictment included dozens of felony counts accusing him of illegally hoarding classified records from his presidency at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and obstructing federal efforts to get them back. He has pleaded not guilty and denied wrongdoing. The case quickly became snarled by delays, with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon slow to issue rulings — which favored Trump’s strategy of pushing off deadlines in all his criminal cases — while also entertaining defense motions and arguments that experts said other judges would have dispensed with without hearings. In May, she indefinitely canceled the trial date amid a series of unresolved legal issues before dismissing the case outright two months later. Smith’s team appealed the decision, but now has given up that effort.

Colorado U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert broke new ground over the weekend when she became the first sitting member of Congress to offer personalized messages for sale — starting at $250 — through the video platform Cameo . The Windsor Republican, who won election to a new congressional seat this month after moving across the state, started the account Saturday. The website allows customers to buy personalized video messages from celebrities. On Monday morning, Boebert advertised her messages starting at $250, though she stopped taking requests by 10:45 a.m. mountain time. And by 5:30 p.m., her Cameo page appeared to have been shut down. Her office declined to comment Monday. “Whether you or someone you know needs an America-first pep talk, if you want to surprise friends or family with a message for a special day, or if you just want to know my thoughts on whatever’s on your mind, Cameo is the place to connect with me,” Boebert said in the introductory video posted on the now-inactive profile. Brandon Kazimer, a Cameo spokesperson, confirmed that the account belonged to Boebert. Kazimer said she was the first sitting member of Congress to sign up for the service as talent. At least two other former members of Congress, George Santos of New York and Matt Gaetz of Florida, have sold videos on the platform. Santos joined Cameo soon after he was expelled from Congress last year over allegations he exploited office for personal financial gain. Gaetz, who is a friend of Boebert’s, joined the service Friday, days after he withdrew his nomination by President-elect Donald Trump to be the U.S. attorney general following allegations that he paid a teenage girl for sex. Boebert does not appear to have advertised the service on her other social media accounts on X or Facebook. Congressional rules will limit how much Boebert can earn from the videos. In 2023, members were limited to making $31,815 in outside income beyond their annual $174,000 salaries. She would have to report any earnings from Cameo on her annual disclosures. The law also prohibits people from using their public office to make outside money, said Kedric Payne, a vice president and senior director of ethics for the Campaign Legal Center. Ultimately, the restriction is meant to give voters confidence that elected officials aren’t using public office for personal gain — or putting that gain ahead of their public service. Boebert described herself on Cameo as “Not your typical Colorado Republican politician. Jesus loving, Constitutionalist, America first, freedom fighter.” An earlier version of her Cameo page listed Boebert as a politician and categorized her as a political commentator, but it was updated to list her under the influencers category. Because she didn’t use her title or appear to use other facets of her public job for the videos, such as filming in her congressional office, “that should take away any concern she’s trying to use her public job for personal gain,” Payne said. He added that the limit on outside income also anticipates these kinds of problems by limiting the incentive for members to spend more effort on outside business ventures than their public service. But, he noted, people can cross that line quickly if it’s not clear if they’re acting in their public or private capacity. The earned income that’s subject to the annual cap is considered separate from passive income made through things like stock market investments, Payne said, because it is actively made by selling goods and services. “We’ll be watching to see if this becomes a trend,” Payne said of the Cameo side work. “If this is just a one-off where someone does this for a month or so, that’s one thing — but if it becomes a trend, where members of Congress are trying to act as influencers and get paid, that could point to a bigger problem.” Stay up-to-date with Colorado Politics by signing up for our weekly newsletter, The Spot.Avior Wealth Management LLC Has $288,000 Position in PROCEPT BioRobotics Co.

Washington's to walk out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Moscow has come back to haunt them, with Russia the Oreshnik (lit. Hazel) - a new hypersonic, medium-range ballistic missile with MIRV capability and the ability to accelerate to speeds up to Mach 10 (over 3 km per second) this week as the US continues the its long-awaited and medium-range missile designs. The development also bears some resemblance to the US's 2002 the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia - which prompted Moscow to work on, , an array of new ballistic and glide hypersonic technologies in the late 2010s, among them the Kinzhal, Avangard and Zircon. Like these earlier systems, the Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile revealed to the world on Thursday is a first, and a step above comparable up-and-coming American designs, missile experts say. “The unique feature of the Oreshnik missile system is that this is a hypersonic medium-range missile flying at a speed of Mach 10,” retired Russian Army colonel and military analyst told Sputnik. “The West does not have missiles that fly at such speeds, or hypersonic missiles in general,” Litovkin said, emphasizing that the Mach 5-5.5 speeds boasted by US missile systems that are in development including Dark Eagle and OpFires program aren’t truly hypersonic – which “begins at Mach 6 or 7,” in the observer’s estimation. 17:00 GMT Russia now has proven hypersonic capability with the Oreshnik, the Mach 10-capable MiG-31-launched Kinzhal missile system, and the Mach 27-ready Avangard hypersonic glider, fitted aboard Russian ICBMs including the UR-100N, Litovkin pointed out. Mach 10 flight speeds mean “the Oreshnik can cause significant damage not only using nuclear or conventional munitions, but also simply with its kinetic force. That is, the impact of the Oreshnik warhead is powerful enough to penetrate concrete, penetrate earth embankments and explode in a deep underground command post, an underground factory, etc. No Western missile has such properties – neither medium-range nor strategic missiles,” Litovkin emphasized. For his part, Russian military observer told Sputnik that while the Dark Eagle and OpFires are still “only undergoing trial operation, testing and development, the Oreshnik has been created, and created on the basis of tried and tested technologies and programs,” which greatly simplifies mass production. Thursday’s real-world combat deployment of the Oreshnik against a military target speaks to the fact that the system is ready for deployment, Kornev said, preempting President Putin's at a defense briefing late on Friday that Russia has already amassed a stockpile of Oreshnik missiles and will continue to test them, "including in combat conditions, depending on the situation and the nature of the security threats that are created for Russia." 14:14 GMT “An element of intrigue here is that we don’t know how many missiles were used – whether it was one missile with these combat capabilities, meaning at least six warheads, or several missiles, which means serial production is probably already underway,” the veteran defense observer explained. Kornev chalks down Russia's ability to rapidly develop and ability to deploy new missile systems to the country's deep-rooted missile design philosophy, which differs greatly from that of the US, in the military expert's estimation. Kornev recalled that during the 1980s between the USSR and the USA, the Soviets' RSD-10 Pioneer missile was designed to ensure strategic deterrence on a continental scale, while the US Pershing and cruise deployments' key goal was to provide Washington with the capability to deliver a strike against enemy targets as quickly as possible from a forward foothold (a strategy which to lives on today with the Pentagon’s highly destabilizing ). “Our system likely has a far greater strike potential in the sense that it was created on the basis of already proven ballistic missile technologies...which means that mass production and rapid deployment of large quantities of the missiles is assured,” Kornev said. "In the case of the West, any similar system will be rather expensive to create." Yesterday, 19:04 GMTThe Broncos are moving on from tight end Greg Dulcich. The former third-round pick, No. 80 overall in 2022 (UCLA), was placed on waivers Monday. Dulcich has been inactive for eight consecutive games. He returned healthy this season after dealing with hamstring issues last year. But Dulcich lacked consistency with dropped passes and fell out of the tight end rotation. He finished the season with five catches for 28 yards. 'Definitely not ideal': Broncos TE Greg Dulcich uncertain of status after being benched Dulcich tallied 41 receptions for 464 yards and two touchdowns over three years in Denver. The Broncos have turned to a combination of Adam Trautman, Lucas Krull and Nate Adkins at tight end this season. They have combined for 288 yards receiving and three touchdowns.

New AI class at ASU could set the standard for AI education nationwideAnge Postecoglou knows the next month will be “significant” for Tottenham, but is confident they will improve and not be mid-table at Christmas. Spurs travel to Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday reeling from a disappointing home loss to Ipswich before the international break. The club’s problems have multiplied during the past fortnight with midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur handed a seven-match domestic ban on Monday and Cristian Romero (toe) joining a lengthy list of absentees. However, Postecoglou remains bullish about Tottenham’s progress and acutely aware of the scrutiny set to come his way if they stay 10th. “Christmas is a joyous occasion, irrespective, and I think it should be celebrated. If we’re still 10th then people won’t be happy, I won’t be happy, but we might not be 10th,” Postecoglou pointed out before nine games in 30 days. “Certainly for us I think it’s a significant period because you look at those games and we’ve got the league where we’ve got to improve our position and a couple of important European fixtures that can set us up for the back half of the year, also a Carabao Cup quarter-final. “At the end of that period we could be in a decent position for a strong second half of the year, so for us it is an important period. “You know there’s no more international breaks, so the full focus is here. You can build some momentum through that, or if things don’t go well you could get yourself into a bit of a grind. Ready for 👊 Go behind the scenes of training ahead of our trip to Manchester 🎥⤵️ — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) “Of course if we had beaten Ipswich, we’d be third and I reckon this press conference would be much different wouldn’t it? “I’m not going to let my life be dictated by one result, I’m sorry. I take a wider perspective on these things because I know how fickle it can be, but we need to address our position for sure. “And if we’re 10th at Christmas, yeah it won’t be great. There’d be a lot of scrutiny and probably a lot of scrutiny around me, which is fair enough, but that’s not where I plan for us to be.” Tottenham’s immediate efforts to move up the table will require them ending City’s two-year unbeaten home run in the Premier League. The champions have lost their last four matches in all competitions, but have some key personnel back for Saturday’s clash and will aim to toast Pep Guardiola’s new contract with a victory. Postecoglou was pleased to see Guardiola commit to a further two seasons in England, adding: “I love the fact that there’s a massive target out there that can seem insurmountable. “I look at it the other way. I go, ‘imagine if you knock him off, that’d be something’. “I’m at the stage of my life where I’d rather have the chance of knocking him off than missing that opportunity. “When greatness is around, you want to be around it. And hopefully it challenges you to be like that as well.” Saturday’s fixture will be Postecoglou’s 50th league game in charge of Spurs and he knows what is required to bring up three figures. “No European football, significant player turnover, change of playing style. Where did I think we’d be after 50 games? God knows. “It could have been a whole lot worse, but when you look at it in the current prism of we’re 10th, you’re going ‘it doesn’t look good’ and I understand that and we have to improve that. “But over the 50 games, I think there’s enough there that shows we are progressing as a team and we are developing into the team we want. “The key is the next 50 games, if they can be in totality better than the first 50? First, that means I’m here but second, I think we’ll be in a good space.”South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has staggered from scandal to crisis but he surprised everyone this week by declaring martial law -- only then to survive an impeachment vote. The plunge back to South Korea's dark days of military rule only lasted a few hours, and after a night of protests and high drama Yoon was forced into a U-turn in the early hours of Wednesday. But polls show a huge majority of citizens want him out and lawmakers voted Saturday on an impeachment motion brought by the opposition, who control parliament. But even though only eight of them needed to support the motion for it to pass, all but three MPs from Yoon's People Power Party (PPP) boycotted the vote and it failed. This is despite the PPP's leader Han Dong-hoon -- allegedly on an arrest list the night of the martial law declaration -- saying Yoon's resignation was "inevitable". On Saturday before the vote, Yoon spoke publicly for the first time in days, apologising for the "anxiety and inconvenience" he caused, but stopping short of throwing in the towel. Instead the 63-year-old said he would "entrust the party with measures to stabilise the political situation, including my term in office". Born in Seoul in 1960 months before a military coup, Yoon studied law and went on to become a star public prosecutor and anti-corruption crusader. He played an instrumental role in Park Geun-hye, South Korea's first female president, being convicted of abuse of power, imprisoned and impeached in 2016. As the country's top prosecutor in 2019, he also indicted a top aide of Park's successor, Moon Jae-in, in a fraud and bribery case. The conservative PPP, in opposition at the time, liked what they saw and convinced Yoon to become their presidential candidate. He duly won in March 2022, beating Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party, but by the narrowest margin in South Korean history. Yoon was never much loved by the public, especially by women -- he vowed on the campaign trail to abolish the ministry of gender equality -- and scandals have come thick and fast. This included his administration's handling of a 2022 crowd crush during Halloween festivities that killed more than 150 people. Voters have also blamed Yoon's administration for food inflation, a lagging economy and increasing constraints on freedom of speech. He was accused of abusing presidential vetoes, notably to strike down a bill paving the way for a special investigation into alleged stock manipulation by his wife Kim Keon Hee. Yoon suffered further reputational damage last year when his wife was secretly filmed accepting a designer handbag worth $2,000 as a gift. Yoon insisted it would have been rude to refuse. His mother-in-law, Choi Eun-soon, was sentenced to one year in prison for forging financial documents in a real estate deal. She was released in May 2024. Yoon himself was the subject of a petition calling for his impeachment earlier this year, which proved so popular the parliamentary website hosting it experienced delays and crashes. As president, Yoon has maintained a tough stance against nuclear-armed North Korea and bolstered ties with Seoul's traditional ally, the United States. Last year, he sang Don McLean's "American Pie" at the White House, prompting US President Joe Biden to respond: "I had no damn idea you could sing." But his efforts to restore ties with South Korea's former colonial ruler, Japan, did not sit well with many at home. Yoon has been a lame duck president since the opposition Democratic Party won a majority in parliamentary elections this year. They recently slashed Yoon's budget. In his Tuesday night televised address to the nation, Yoon railed against "anti-state elements plundering people's freedom and happiness" and his office has subsequently cast his imposition of martial law as a bid to break through legislative gridlock. But to use his political difficulties as justification for imposing martial law for the first time in South Korea since the 1980s is absurd, an analyst said. "Yoon invoked Article 77 of the South Korean constitution, which allows for proclaiming martial law but is reserved for 'time of war, armed conflict or similar national emergency', none of which appears evident," Bruce Klingner, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told AFP. "Yoon's action is a damning reversal to decades of South Korean efforts to put its authoritarian past behind it," he said. burs-stu/ceb/mtp

NoneAutomakers have come under scrutiny following the release of a report by Amnesty International, which exposes widespread human rights violations within the supply chains of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers. Among the 13 companies assessed, Chinese automaker and global leader in EVs, BYD, received the lowest score, 11 out of 90, due to its refusal to disclose critical information about their supply chain, human rights and smelting practices. But they weren’t the only automaker with a low score, Mitsubishi and Hyundai followed closely scoring 13 and 21. None of the three automakers published information about how human rights can impact battery metal sourcing. Additionally, none of the three reported mapping their supply chains or identifying risks. They also failed to respond to Amnesty’s findings. It’s a stark contrast to the top of the list, German automaker Mercedes-Benz, which scored 51. But even then, Amnesty believes a total of 68 points or more shows a level of commitment to human rights issues. The global push towards electrification means that automakers are relying heavily on minerals like cobalt, nickel and lithium, which are crucial for battery production. To put it into perspective - an EV requires six times more minerals than a conventional car and the demand could grow tenfold by 2040, according to International Energy Agency. Amnesty International secretary-general Agnes Callamard believes the rise and demand for metals required to make EV batteries is putting “immense pressure” on mining-affected communities. “The human rights abuses tied to the extraction of energy transition minerals are alarming and pervasive and the industry’s response is sorely lacking. Communities are suffering from forced evictions, health issues caused by pollution and difficulties accessing water. As demand for electric vehicles increases, manufacturers must ensure people’s human rights are respected.” she said. These minerals are essential for EV battery production but Callamard believes mining for these minerals can entail huge risks for people and the environment. “Amnesty International’s previous research has shown how industrial cobalt is linked to forced evictions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Car companies need to use their massive leverage as global minerals buyers to influence upstream mining companies and smelters to mitigate these human rights risks.” she said. The rush to secure resource has led to consequences like child labour, forced evictions and unsafe working conditions, particularly in countries like Democratic Republic of Congo, which supplies 25 per cent of the world’s cobalt. In 2023, the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre (BHRRC) recorded a marked increase in labour violations, worker deaths and environmental harm. Out of the offenders, state owner China Minmetals topped the list. Tesla and Volkswagen have both maintained ties to the mining giants like Glencore and Minmetals despite allegations of unsafe working conditions and exploitative practices at their sites. Since 2010, BHRRC has documented 630 allegations of human rights abuses involving seven key minerals critical to EVs including cobalt, nickel and lithium. Many of these allegations are tied to the same companies that Amnesty Internal revealed in their report - BYD, Volkswagen and Tesla. Amnesty International said there has been some progress since they first drew attention to the matter in 2017, however most of the companies included in their report are not demonstrating sufficient standards of human rights. “Amnesty International is calling on all car makers to improve their human rights due diligence efforts and bring them in line with international human rights standards,” she said. “We are also calling on governments to strengthen their own human rights due diligence regulation over the companies incorporated on their territories or their exports and import licenses.”

What made the defeats even bitter was a thin margin of 3,153 votes for the party's president and six-term Vasai MLA Hitendra Thakur. He lost to BJP's newcomer Sneha Dube, who polled 77,553 votes. In Nalasopara, Thakur's son, Kshitij, seeking a third term, fell short of 36,875 votes as BJP's Rajan Naik secured 47% of the votes. In Boisar, MLA Rajesh Patil faced his second defeat in six months. After his defeat in the LS poll from Palghar, he managed to win only 81,622 votes this time. His opponent, Vilas Tare of Shiv Sena, took away 45% of the 2.78 lakh votes. Analysts called these outcomes predictable. Despite controlling Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation and backing Mahayuti in 2019, BVA failed to address key challenges, including water, transport and infrastructure issues. "Mira-Bhayander, Navi Mumbai and Panvel have developed but Vasai has remained backward," said Virar social activist Mayuresh Wagh. In 2009, Thakur decided against contesting and threw Narayan Mankar in the race. Mankar lost to tribal leader Vivek Pandit. In 2014 and 2019, Thakur won, taking away over 50% of the votes. He even announced his retirement, only to contest this year citing public demand. During vote counting at Vasai and Nalasopara, the Thakurs were absent. VBA supporters dispersed as results emerged. BVA grabbed headlines on Nov 19 after its workers surrounded BJP general secretary Vinod Tawde at a Virar hotel, alleging he was distributing money to party workers and voters. Residents said the real victory will come after BVA is kept out of civic corridors. "They may have lost the state polls, but they continue to have their hold on the municipality," said Nalasopara's Rajesh Bhatia.
