Sen. Bob Menendez spoke publicly about his bribery indictment for the first time on Monday. He says the cash that feds found stuffed into envelopes actually came from his own bank account. He cited the "history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba."

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who attacked an Associated Press photographer and threw a flagpole and smoke grenade at police officers guarding the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced on Friday to five years in prison. Milstreed told the judge that it was painful to watch his violent acts and hear his combative language that day. Capitol Police Officer Devan Gowdy suffered a concussion when Milstreed hurled his wooded club at a line of officers. “January 6th is a day that will be burned into my brain and my nightmares for the rest of my life,” Gowdy told the judge. He told another Facebook friend that it “felt good” to punch the photographer, whose assault was captured on video by another AP photographer.

Commemorations stretch from the attack sites — at New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania — to Alaska and beyond. But a sense of connection is enshrined in a local memorial incorporating steel from the World Trade Center’s destroyed twin towers. As another way of marking the anniversary, many Americans do volunteer work on what Congress has designated both Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance. First lady Jill Biden is due to lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon. Educators with a total of more than 10,000 students have registered for access to the free “National Day of Learning” program, which will be available through the fall, organizers say.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Republicans trying to recapture the U.S. Senate majority have the candidate they want in Pennsylvania. Almost since the moment he lost last year's Senate GOP primary, McCormick has floated the possibility that he would again seek the party's nomination for the U.S. Senate, this time to challenge three-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. “At this point, if Dave McCormick doesn't run, it'll be the biggest head fake in Pennsylvania political history,” said Vince Galko, a Republican campaign strategist based in northeastern Pennsylvania. For a party that has struggled — both nationally and in Pennsylvania — with nominating polarizing and badly flawed candidates for Senate, some in Pennsylvania worry that another fringe candidate could capture the nomination and embarrass the party anew if McCormick doesn’t run. If McCormick doesn't run, some party officials worry about the caliber of available alternatives at this relatively late stage.

Vivek Ramaswamy is again raising questions about what happened on September 11, 2001. The GOP contender says it's "legitimate" to ask "how many federal agents" were on the planes. He said the answer is "probably is zero for all I know" but insisted he wants the "truth about 9/11." Get the inside scoop on today’s biggest stories in business, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley — delivered daily. "I think it is legitimate to say how many police, how many federal agents, were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers," he said.

She earned a silver medal at The World Games 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama, and is hoping to secure a spot in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. It'll be only the second time that breakdancing, also known as "breaking," has been included in the Olympics. "I was debilitatingly shy [earlier in my career]," she tells CNBC Make It. Today, Choi still uses a few strategies to keep her natural shyness from stymying her ability to compete. She uses breathing techniques to focus, and repeats a mantra of affirmation to herself before going in front of a crowd.

Trump’s political action committee, Save America, has spent more than $40 million on legal fees since the start of 2023, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. The PAC also shelled out $16 million-plus on legal costs the previous year, Federal Election Commission records show. However, Paul Seamus Ryan, a campaign finance expert, recently told The Washington Post he did not see any “legal red flags” with the PAC paying Trump’s fees. It is disgraceful that Trump is using funds from small donors that they believed would fund his campaign for his own personal legal woes. But even Trump knows the more he spends on legal fees, the less he has for his 2024 campaign.

She applied and was accepted to the online program in 2020. In exchange for expanding course offerings and recruiting students, OPMs receive a big chunk of the tuition revenue from the online programs, which usually cost the same as in-person schooling. While it's not always the case, many experts and grads told me that OPMs were offering online students a worse education for a sky-high price. A third-party provider to those schools, 2U signs a contract to offer services such as recruiting and technology to boost online enrollment. OPMs have helped fuel the student debt crisis, saddling may students with tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt and an uncertain future.

Joanna and Brian Linton live in Philadelphia and wanted a break from city life during the pandemic. They sought out a cabin in the mountains for quick getaways, but decided to buy a motel on a whim. It cost five times more than they expected to renovate it, even though they did most of the work. The married couple wanted to buy a cabin in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, where they could stretch their legs and breathe in fresh air. In August 2020, the couple and their kids piled into the car and made the roughly two-and-a-half hour drive upstate to scout properties.

DeWitt and Jean Paul bought a 31-acre abandoned farm in Pennsylvania in 2018 and moved from Nevada. The property has a main house, a small house, and three barns — all of which they are renovating. Those structures include two small barns, a large barn, a small house, the main house, and a garage/workshop. Once the small house is completed, they plan on renting it out on Airbnb. The main house has already been changed dramatically, and still needs work.
These are just some of the items that investigators seized from the apartment of 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger, the former doctoral student charged with killing four University of Idaho college students, according to a search warrant released Wednesday. The warrant was served Dec. 30, the same day Kohberger was arrested at his family home in Pennsylvania. The other hair samples aren't specifically identified as human in the warrant signed by Washington State University Assistant Police Chief Dawn Daniels. The quadruple murder shocked the country and stymied police for seven weeks before Kohberger was arrested. But the four charges of first-degree murder carry sentences that could include life in prison to the death penalty.
Michael Fanone blasted the scant GOP attendance at a Jan. 6 remembrance ceremony at the Capitol. Multiple outlets reported that Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick was the only GOP lawmaker at the Friday event. Law enforcement certainly doesn't like that, and I don't believe that all Republicans are sympathetic to the MAGA agenda." "As somebody who has previously supported Republican candidates, it's shameful," the former police officer told Tapper. After the Capitol ceremony, Fitzpatrick, a former FBI supervisory special agent, told Insider's Bryan Metzger of his desire to be at the solemn event.
WASHINGTON — The 2022 midterm elections were full of surprises. Republicans began the year favored to notch big victories, yet they fell short and barely captured control of the House. Lake was widely seen as the election-denying candidate with the best chance to win a statewide race in a key battleground in the 2022 elections. Secretary of state contenders who echoed Trump’s fabricated claims of a stolen election lost, including Mark Finchem in Arizona, Kristina Karamo in Michigan and Jim Marchant in Nevada. Their wins led Democrats to win every competitive House race and gain control of the state House for the first time in more than a decade — although recent vacancies have called that majority into question.
The executive director of an independent Ohio clinic shares her plans for keeping the business open. At the same time, abortion clinics are navigating the new normal. While abortion access is temporarily restored in Ohio, limited timelines mean the viability to run an independent clinic is shrinking. Sri Thakkilapati, the interim executive director at the Cleveland independent abortion clinic Preterm, is trying to balance the two realities. It's always been our mission to destigmatize abortion and support patients through whatever reproductive-health decisions they make.
As Republicans across the country saw their predictions of commanding victories up and down the ballot fall short on election night, Democrats in Pennsylvania were celebrating signs of a blue wave. Spencer Platt / Getty Images fileMany state Republicans said it’s no surprise that the strategy worked. “I think Republicans are going to be very demoralized here,” one Republican who worked on a Pennsylvania campaign, said in an interview. But while Oz struggled to overcome questions about his residency, Democrats and Republicans both said the election was driven by the Shapiro-Mastriano dynamic. “To have a wave, you not only have to have the initial motion, but you have to have the driver.
Wilkes-Barre Township Police Chief Will Clark had low expectations when billed Donald Trump's political action committee. Clark's own department in Pennsylvania still has an unpaid bill for extra security at a "Make America Great Again Rally," back in 2018. Along with the Trump campaign, Clark also tried sending the bill to the Republican National Committee and Lou Barletta, the Trump-endorsed former Pennsylvania congressman who failed to oust Democratic Sen. Bob Casey in that race. To date, there's only one other known instance of late — also unexplained — where the Trump campaign paid some of the money it owed a municipal government. In this case, it was the city of La Crosse, Wisconsin, for a 2020 campaign event that then-Vice President Mike Pence headlined.

WASHINGTON — The conservative-majority Supreme Court left its imprint on the 2022 elections, galvanizing Democrats with decisions on guns and abortion and potentially aiding Republicans with election rulings. For decades, it was the Republican Party that benefited from conservative anger over the Supreme Court's original ruling in Roe v. Wade. Using the new map, Republicans won five of the six districts Tuesday. Under the newly drawn map, Republicans won 20 of 28 seats. The Supreme Court's 2019 ruling said partisan gerrymandering claims could not be adjudicated by federal courts.
Three of the most prominent right-wing media outlets in the US are turning on Trump. Fox News, the NY Post, and WSJ editorial board all published critical pieces about Trump amid Republican underperformance in the midterms. The New York Post published a Thursday cover story mocking "Trumpty Dumpty" for failing to unify the Republican Party. The Wall Street Journal's editorial board followed suit, publishing a piece Thursday calling Trump the GOP's "biggest loser." The WSJ editorial board blamed Trump for having "botched" the 2022 midterms, adding that "it could hand Democrats the Senate for two more years."
The barrage helped Oz climb back into a race that Fetterman had led all summer — by double digits, according to at least two polls. Fetterman, whose speech and auditory processing were affected by his stroke, agreed to only one debate, on Oct. 25. His struggles were apparent, stoking alarm the next day among Democrats who worried the performance would scare away voters. Mehmet Oz takes part in a forum for Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidates in Camp Hill, Pa. on Apr. “My wife wants some vegetables for crudité,” Oz said, picking out broccoli, asparagus, carrots, guacamole and salsa for the platter of raw vegetables and dips.
