ANÁLISIS | Trump está listo para regresar a Washington para una cita monumental en la corte, pero es poco probable que haya una catarsis nacional

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:03:06 GMT

(CNN) — Se espera que este jueves el expresidente de Estados Unidos Donald Trump regrese al epicentro de su supuesto intento de derrocar las elecciones de 2020 para responder a cargos históricos, incluida el de conspiración para defraudar a Estados Unidos.Trump será procesado luego de ser acusado de una serie de supuestos planes para frustrar la victoria del presidente Joe Biden y su conducta luego del ataque de sus seguidores al Capitolio de EE.UU.Aunque este no será el primer viaje del expresidente a la capital después de desairar la asunción de Biden, la vista de su caravana abriéndose paso por Washington puede desencadenar un trauma que aún sienten los residentes durante un día oscuro en la historia 31 meses atrás.La audiencia será el último giro en una saga extraordinaria e histórica que rodea a un expresidente y favorito para una candidatura de un partido importante en 2024, quien hasta ahora ha sido acusado en tres investigaciones penales separadas.Es también un momento...

Trump is due to face a judge in DC over charges he tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:03:06 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is due in federal court Thursday to answer to charges that he sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, facing a judge near the U.S. Capitol building that his supporters stormed to try to block the peaceful transfer of power.In what’s become a familiar but nonetheless stunning ritual, Trump is expected to be processed by law enforcement, be taken into custody and enter a not guilty plea in front of a judge before being released, so he can rejoin the campaign trail as he seeks to reclaim the White House in 2024.An indictment Tuesday from Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith charges Trump with four felony counts related to his efforts to undo his presidential election loss in the run-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. The charges could lead to a yearslong prison sentence in the event of a conviction.The R...

Poland adopts amended Kremlin influence law

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:03:06 GMT

Poland’s President Andrzej Duda late Wednesday signed off on a bill creating a special body to probe Russian influence in Polish politics which critics say is unconstitutional and could be used to intimidate political opponents.Backed by the ruling right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party, the amended law was approved last week by Poland’s parliament with a narrow 235-214 majority.The law allows the appointment of a nine-member commission by parliament — where PiS has a majority — who will have access to all government departments and documents to investigate Russian interference in Polish politics from 2007 to 2022.But it has sparked criticism from the Polish opposition, which argues the law could be used to target its leader Donald Tusk — who was prime minister from 2007 to 2014 — ahead of an upcoming general election later this year. Tusk will lead the Civic Coalition party in that election.Faced with mounting international pressure, Duda in June introduced several amen...

Bit Warmer

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:03:06 GMT

A little touch of September air was in place yesterday as the high in Boston only reached 72 degrees, a good 10 degree below average for the time of year. Away from the coast, it was a bit warmer, but comfy overall with low humidity and highs in the upper 70s. Today, we’ll step it up a notch in the humidity (still comfy by August standards), and a couple notches in the temp department as highs run in the lower 80s for many, included 80 in Boston. Overall, it’s still a pleasant August afternoon as a southerly breeze kicks in, gusting 20-25mph this afternoon and evening. We’ll stay dry most of today, with just a spot shower possible late afternoon in northern Worcester County or western NH. Humidity comes up more tonight and the shower and thunderstorm threat increases tomorrow. Showers/storms will be isolated in the morning and more widespread in the afternoon and at night. Dew points run 65-70 as highs near 80. Warm and muggy overall. The main risk with the showers...

(CNN) — After a woman escaped from a makeshift “dungeon” made of cinder blocks in a man’s Oregon home, the FBI says it is looking for additional victims in other states.The man, 29-year-old Negasi Zuberi, was taken into federal custody on suspicion of kidnapping across state lines after a woman from Seattle escaped from his home in Klamath Falls, Oregon, according to a news release from the FBI Portland Field Office. The woman also claimed she was sexually assaulted, the FBI said.Zuberi, who has lived in at least 10 different states since 2016, has been linked to violent assaults in at least four different states, according to the FBI.
