Dec 7 (Reuters) - Lawyers for former U.S. President Donald Trump searched Trump Tower and one of his golf courses after a judge instructed them to attest to complying with a subpoena to turn over all classified materials, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday. Trump's legal team hired an outside firm to carry out the search of his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey in recent weeks, and, more recently Trump Tower in New York, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. The team also offered the FBI the opportunity to observe the search, but was declined, according to the report. Trump's lawyers have informed the Justice Department that the outside team did not find any new classified information during their search, according to The Washington Post. In August, an FBI search at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, found more than 20 boxes of government records, including 11 sets of classified documents.

Nov 18 (Reuters) - FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, facing mounting legal challenges over the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange, may have harmed his defense by speaking publicly in recent days, legal experts said. Bankman-Fried has sought to explain the implosion of FTX and disparaged government regulators in posts on Twitter and conversations with reporters. Attorneys said such statements will likely make life more difficult for the defense lawyers seeking to manage fallout from the exchange’s demise and navigate multiple federal investigations. His law firm represents many other financial industry clients. Joseph is a former president of the American College of Trial Lawyers who has written about racketeering law and rules of evidence.

Oct 14 (Reuters) - Russian-backed forces have made tactical advances in the last three days towards the centre of Bakhmut, a strategically important town in the eastern Donetsk region, and likely advanced into villages south of the town, Britain said on Friday. Bakhmut sits on a main road leading to the cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Private military company Wagner Group "likely remains" heavily involved in the Bakhmut fighting, Britain's Ministry of Defence said in an intelligence bulletin. In Ukraine's Donbas region, the ministry said that Russia continued with offensive operations in central part of the state and was "very slowly" making progress.

Oct 13 (Reuters) - Britain's energy regulator Ofgem will on Thursday urge consumers to reduce their energy usage "where possible", the Financial Times reported, less than a week after climate minister Graham Stuart said that the country would not ask its people to use less energy. The energy regulator's move would come as it prepares to launch a campaign to help households reduce their electricity and gas usage, the FT said. Senior Cabinet Office Minister Nadhim Zahawi said on Sunday it was "extremely unlikely" Britain would have planned power cuts over winter, responding to a warning from National Grid (NG.L) that the country could face blackouts if it cannot import enough energy.

REUTERS/Nate RaymondBOSTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Thursday said they reached an agreement to drop criminal charges filed during the Trump administration against a Massachusetts judge accused of impeding a federal immigration arrest of a defendant in her courtroom. Federal prosecutors said they had agreed to dismiss the obstruction charges filed against Newton District Court Judge Shelley Joseph in exchange for the judge referring herself to a state commission tasked with investigating judicial misconduct. Prosecutors are also dropping obstruction charges against her former courtroom deputy, Wesley MacGregor, who entered into a deferred prosecution agreement to resolve a remaining perjury count. Prosecutors claimed Joseph and MacGregor in 2018 helped a previously deported state court defendant evade being detained by an ICE agent by allowing him leave their Newton courthouse through a rear door. "I have concluded that the interests of justice are best served by review of this matter before the body that oversees the conduct of Massachusetts state court judges, rather than in a continued federal criminal prosecution," Cunha said.

Conform legii haitiene, starea de asediu este al doilea nivel pe o scală de trei – starea de urgență, starea de asediu, iar cel mai ridicat nivel de alertă este starea de război. Ca urmării a intrării în vigoare a acestei dispoziții, granițele s-au închis, iar legea marțială a fost impusă temporar, armata și poliția primind puteri suplimentare de a pune în aplicare legea. Joseph le-a cerut cetățlenilor să-și păstreze calmul și a promis că îi va „aduce pe asasinii fostului președinte în fața legii”. Este o zi tristă pentru țara noastră și pentru poporul nostru”, a spus Joseph într-un discurs televizat, scrie digi24.ro.

Singapore a controlat focarele apărute și, într-un moment în care majoritatea țărilor din lume înăspresc restricțiile, Singapore ia măsuri opuse, a declarat economistul șef ASEAN, pentru CNBC . Singapore a intrat săptămâna aceasta în cea de-a treia fază a redeschiderii sale și permite acum adunări de opt persoane, față de cinci. Țara a fost prima din Asia care a primit un transport de vaccinuri Pfizer-BioNTech pe 21 decembrie 2020. Țara a fost văzută ca un hub alternativ de producție pentru companiile care doresc să se mute din China. "Este foarte puțin probabil să vedem o parte semnificativă a populației vaccinate în 2021", a spus Joseph Incalcaterra.
