Washington : President Joe Biden faces a backlash from Democrats angry over his decision to pardon his son – a move that blunts their line of attack on Donald Trump, the first convicted criminal to be re-elected president. Two days after Biden’s decision to spare Hunter Biden from the prospect of jail, the federal judge overseeing Hunter’s gun convictions terminated any further court proceedings in the case on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST). The judge overseeing the tax evasion case that Hunter was due to be sentenced for in California is soon expected to do the same.

Credit: NYT Biden decided to pardon his 52-year-old son on Sunday – the same day that Trump announced he had tapped MAGA loyalist Kash Patel to be the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Patel is a far-right extremist and former federal prosecutor who has previously said he wants to “annihilate the deep state”, which he believes is made up of senior bureaucrats, journalists, big tech and Democratic Party elected officials. “We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens and who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections,” he once told Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast while pushing unproven claims of voter fraud. “We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly, we’ll figure that out.” Kash Patel has little of the law enforcement and management experience typical of FBI directors. Credit: AP As demoralised Democrats attempt to rebuild following Kamala Harris’ crushing election defeat, some in the party are fuming over the presidential pardon, which comes after Biden and his aides spent months saying he would adhere to the jury’s verdict and not grant such clemency. Michigan Democrat senator Gary Peters described it as an “improper use of power”, noting that “a president’s family and allies shouldn’t get special treatment”. Colorado Democrat senator Michael Bennett agreed, telling CNN: “It just gives the American people a sense that there’s one system for the rich and powerful and another system for everybody else.” And Virginia senator Tim Kaine had a similar sentiment, saying in a statement: “President Biden made a promise to not take this step, and I do not believe in breaking promises. We all need to follow the rule of law, even – especially – when it’s hard for us personally.” The internal dissent that Biden faces comes weeks before the US president leaves office after a political career spanning half a century. But the sweeping nature of the pardon – which covers not only the tax and gun convictions that Hunter faced but also any potential criminal activities that he “may have committed or taken part in” starting from January 2014 through to Sunday – has exposed the president to claims that he is abusing a justice system he long denied was being “weaponised”. The beginning date is significant as it is a few months before Hunter joined the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings – a position in which Republicans have accused him of violating foreign lobbying laws. They have also used Hunter’s business dealings as a political cudgel against his father, who was then vice president under Barack Obama. “Enough is enough,” Biden said on Sunday as he announced the pardon before leaving on his final presidential overseas trip to Angola. Donald Trump supporters storm the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Credit: AP Trump immediately responded by hinting at potential clemency for rioters who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. His list of past pardons also includes his former national security adviser Michael Flynn (who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during the Russian interference investigation of Trump); Paul Manafort (convicted of tax and bank fraud as part of the Russia investigation) and former White House strategist Steve Bannon (charged with defrauding donors in a campaign to fund Trump’s border wall). Trump’s lawyers this week formally asked a judge to throw out his hush money criminal conviction, arguing continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the presidency.” They also cited Biden’s pardon of his son in the filing. “President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently,’” Trump’s legal team wrote. The Manhattan district attorney, they claimed, had engaged in the type of political theatre “that President Biden condemned.” The backlash over Biden’s pardon comes as Trump rounds out his new cabinet with loyalists who will help him carry out his second-term agenda. Among them is Fox News presenter Peter Hegseth, who has spent the past two days meeting senators on Capitol Hill amid fresh claims that he was forced out of leadership roles in two military veterans organisations following allegations of financial mismanagement, aggressive drunkenness and sexist behaviour. The 44-year-old military veteran was an unconventional choice for the top Pentagon job, as he has never led a large government agency. Now, concerns about his qualifications have been overshadowed by allegations related to his personal conduct. The latest reports – which were made by a whistleblower in The New Yorker – come after California police released a complaint by a woman who claims she was raped by Hegseth during a Republican fundraiser in 2017. He insists, however, that the incident was consensual, and in relation to the latest claims, told reporters through an adviser that the claims were “outlandish”. His lawyer declined to comment. However, the Trump team continues to stand by its picks, with senior adviser Jason Miller telling Fox News on Tuesday that they were feeling “very good about the nominees”. Others include Russian sympathiser and former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, vaccine sceptic Robert F. Kennedy for secretary of health, and former Florida attorney-general Pam Bondi for federal attorney-general.

The billing of London-born former Chelsea boss Hayes against England’s Dutch manager Sarina Wiegman – arguably the best two bosses in the women’s game – had generated more buzz in the build-up than the players on the pitch, despite it being a rare encounter between the two top-ranked sides in the world. Hayes enjoyed her return to familiar shores but felt the US lacked the “killer piece” after they looked the likelier side to make the breakthrough. Elite meeting of the minds 🌟 pic.twitter.com/R4d8EArqTp — U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (@USWNT) November 30, 2024 Asked what was going through her mind during the national anthem, Hayes said: “I was definitely mouthing (it), and Naomi (Girma) and Lynn (Williams) could see that I was struggling with where to be and all that. “I got to the end of the anthems and I thought, ‘that’s so ridiculous. I’m proud to be English and I’m proud of our national anthem, and I’m also really proud to coach America’. “Two things are possible all at once. I don’t want to fuel a nationalist debate around it. The realities are both countries are really dear to me for lots of reasons, and I’m really proud to represent both of them.” The Lionesses did not register a shot on target in the first half but grew into the game in the second. US captain Lindsey Horan had the ball in the net after the break but the flag was up, while Hayes’ side had a penalty award for a handball reversed after a VAR check determined substitute Yazmeen Ryan’s shot hit Alex Greenwood’s chest. Hayes, who left Chelsea after 12 trophy-packed years this summer, said: “I’ve been privileged to coach a lot of top-level games, including here, so there’s a familiarity to being here for me. “It’s not new to me, and because of that there was a whole sense of I’m coming back to a place I know. I have a really healthy perspective, and I want to have a really healthy perspective on my profession. “I give everything I possibly can for a team that I really, really enjoy coaching, and I thrive, not just under pressure, but I like these opportunities, I like being in these situations. They bring out the best in me. “You’ve got two top teams now, Sarina is an amazing coach, I thought it was a good tactical match-up, and I just enjoy coaching a high-level football match, to be honest with you. I don’t think too much about it.” Hayes had travelled to London without her entire Olympic gold medal-winning ‘Triple Espresso’ forward line of Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith, all nursing niggling injuries. Before the match, the 48-year-old was spotted chatting with Wiegman and her US men’s counterpart, fellow ex-Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, who was also in attendance. England were also missing a number of key attackers for the friendly including Lauren Hemp, Lauren James and Ella Toone, all ruled out with injury. "This shows where we are at and we need to keep improving. It is November now. This is good but we want to be better again. We have to be better again." 👊 Reaction from the boss ⬇️ — Lionesses (@Lionesses) November 30, 2024 Wiegman brushed aside suggestions from some pundits that her side were content to settle for a draw. She said: “I think we were really defending as a team, very strong. We got momentum in the second half, we did better, and of course both teams went for the win. “So many things happened in this game, also in front of the goal, so I don’t think it was boring. “We wanted to go for the win, but it was such a high-intensity game, you have to deal with a very good opponent, so you can’t just say, ‘Now we’re going to go and score that goal’. “We tried, of course, to do that. We didn’t slow down to keep it 0-0. I think that was just how the game went.”

Hefin David described next year’s spending plans for the commission – which is responsible for support services and the Senedd estate – as a transformational, step-change budget. The Caerphilly Senedd member, who is the commissioner responsible for the budget, said the 16 per cent uplift will cover a 60 per cent increase in the size of the Senedd. But the Conservatives criticised the “ballooning” costs, describing Senedd reform as the wrong priority while around one in five people in Wales are waiting for NHS treatment. Leading a debate on November 20, Dr David said the budget for the 12 months from April will address four key pressures: He said the £6.5m allocated to the reform programme includes costs for employing new staff, and reconfiguring the debating chamber and new members’ offices. Dr David told the Senedd: “In these turbulent times strengthening a democracy is often a difficult but certainly noble endeavour. “While I in no way devalue the objections of those opposed to reform, those members who have supported Senedd expansion have done so to build a stronger parliament for the people of Wales.” Janet-Finch Saunders, the Conservative Senedd commissioner, said the budget reflects significant efforts to ensure effective management of public funds. She told the Senedd that the costs compare favourably with the Scottish Parliament which is nearly £200,000 more expensive per member. But she reiterated her party’s opposition to expansion, saying: “We still believe that these resources would be better allocated to essential public services, such as health care, education, our road infrastructure, social services – I could go on.” Ms Finch-Saunders told the chamber that she had been inundated with messages from members of the public calling for a referendum of expansion.

NoneWASHINGTON (AP) — As a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House. As for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, . He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies. Now, after being elected the 47th president on Nov. 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as . Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump's election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the U.S. government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “All of President Trumps' Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump's agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Here is a look at what some of Trump's choices portend for his second presidency. The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president's proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration's agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. “The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President’s mind,” Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, “is a President’s air-traffic control system” and should be “involved in all aspects of the White House policy process,” becoming “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, “knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State” — Trump’s catch-all for federal bureaucracy — and would help “restore fiscal sanity.” In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: “We’re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.” The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025's and Trump's campaign proposals. Vought's vision is especially striking when paired with Trump's proposals to dramatically expand the president's control over federal workers and government purse strings — ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers — who have job protection through changes in administration — as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government's roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk's and Ramaswamy's sweeping “efficiency” mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president — not Congress — is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his “Agenda 47,” Trump endorsed so-called “impoundment,” which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, “The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.” Trump's choice immediately sparked backlash. “Russ Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to “dismantle the expert federal workforce” to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans' health care to Social Security benefits. “Pain itself is the agenda,” they said. Trump’s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over . Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various U.S. immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries — reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump's longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in U.S. history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump's West Wing inner circle. “America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller said at Trump’s on Oct. 27. “America First Legal,” Miller’s organization founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump’s first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump's Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: “No one’s off the table. If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.” John Ratcliffe, Trump's , was previously one of Trump's directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document's chapter on U.S. intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe's chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe's and Trump's approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a U.S. adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025's FCC chapter and is to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman “is empowered with significant authority that is not shared” with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address “threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market,” specifically “Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square.” He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and “empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.” Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts.
