The Justice Department on Wednesday said it has uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case and may need “a few more weeks” to review and release them to the public. The department made the revelation in a post on X, saying the the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI had informed the department of the new documents. “The DOJ has received these documents from SDNY and the FBI to review them for release, in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, existing statutes, and judicial orders,” the post…
When a group of defense insiders gathered in Whitehall, the home of the British government, last month to discuss how prepared the United Kingdom and its allies were for a war they believe could come in the next few years, their verdict was pretty grim: They are not. The people gathered at the conference, hosted by the London-based think tank the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), were not warmongers; they were people in the know. Current and former members of the armed forces, government and NATO officials, researchers and defense industry professionals whose thinking is based on the widely accepted…
Christmas celebrations have returned to the birthplace of Jesus after a two-year hiatus, but the joy remains overshadowed by another turbulent year for Palestinians living under Israeli-occupation in the West Bank. Morning mass was held at the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem on Thursday, a day after crowds of Palestinians and foreign tourists flocked onto Manger Square to attend celebrations for the first time since they were halted in solidarity with Palestinians suffering a two-year deadly war in Gaza. Despite the festivities, the numbers of people attending remained limited, which, according to Palestinian politician Mustafa Barghouti, is due to Israeli…
West Palm Beach, Florida — President Donald Trump said Thursday he’d ordered a deadly strike on Islamic State terrorists in Nigeria, who he has accused of persecuting Christians in the country. In a post on social media, Trump said he’d directed a “powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria,” who he said had been killing innocent Christians. US Africa Command said it conducted the strikes in Sokoto state, which borders Niger to the north, “in coordination with Nigerian authorities.” AFRICOM’s initial assessment is that “multiple ISIS terrorists were killed in the ISIS camps,” according to a…
President Donald Trump says he expects to nominate a new Federal Reserve chair this month. When that happens, Trump will have run out of excuses: This will officially become his economy, for better or worse. Throughout the first year of his second term, Trump has mostly blamed America’s affordability problems on two men: Former President Joe Biden and Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whom he accuses of mismanaging the economy and allowing prices to rise out of control. But those excuses are already falling flat. Excuse No. 1) Biden. Trump continues to disparage Biden for high inflation, but Biden hasn’t been…
A CNN team witnessed several explosions in Caracas early Saturday, and reported that some areas of the city were without electricity. The first blast was recorded at approximately 1.50am local time (0.50aET). “One was so strong, my window was shaking after it,” CNNE correspondent Osmary Hernandez said. Several areas of the city were without power and CNN journalists in the Venezuelan capital could hear sound of aircraft after the explosions. The cause of the explosions was unclear. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that the US is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela…
It was just like watching television. Huddled in a draped-off room at Mar-a-Lago around screens set up for his viewing pleasure — including, according to photos released by the White House, a live feed of social media messages on X — President Donald Trump watched and listened as highly trained American Delta Force soldiers rushed into Nicolás Maduro’s home in Caracas, where the Venezuelan leader was sleeping alongside his wife. Maduro was quickly dragged into custody as he tried to flee to his steel-enforced safe room. It was the dramatic culmination of a monthslong campaign whose ultimate goal has long…
Venezuela is entering a new and very uncertain era after the sudden capture and removal of Nicolas Máduro, the country’s president for the last 12 years. Amid widespread apprehension about what comes next, the streets of the capital Caracas and other cities have been quiet. People are apprehensive about being out and about, with the security forces on edge. But there has been little sign of the government-backed paramilitary groups known as colectivos on the streets. Those that have ventured out have one priority: Stocking up on basic supplies in case the capital sees clashes or looting. There’s no sign…
Venezuelans in Caracas process a weekend “for the history books” Venezuelans in Caracas process a weekend “for the history books” 00:39 CNN teams in Caracas spoke with Venezuelans who were out and about Sunday after the United States captured President Nicolás Maduro. Though the streets have been quiet, the Venezuelan government has urged citizens to resume their normal routines. “Why did I have to go out?” said Judith Ledezma. “I have a pet that needs exercise and I was really stressed out staying indoors.” Her orange dog sat beside her on a park bench in Caracas, flanked by numerous shopping…
Elena Bertiz, 78, was sleeping in her bedroom early on Saturday morning in her Caracas home when a sudden noise woke her. At first, she told CNN, she thought it was an earthquake. “So, I got up running, put on my shoes, and started grabbing some clothes,” Bertiz told CNN’s Osmary Hernández, who visited her in the La Boyera neighborhood on Sunday. Bertiz then heard planes passing by. “Oh no, what anxiety, such horrible anxiety,” she said. She later saw that her house, where she had been living for the last 50 years, was hit by shrapnel during the US…
