Yxrs Former CIA senior Clandestine Services Officer Daniel Hoffman on pursuing the Russian ten The Trump Organization and former Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg on Tuesday asked a judge to dismiss the Manhattan district attorney s criminal fraud and tax evasion charges against them, claiming they ve been targeted because of politics.Former President Donald Trump s eponymous company was a ccused in July of providing executives with lavish untaxed perks, or indirect employee compensation. Weisselberg, who had been at Trump s side at the company for decades, was accused of receiving perks mdash; including an apartment and car mdash; worth $1.7 million.Weisselberg and the company have entered not guilty pleas. In Tuesday s filings, lawyers claimed the company and former CFO were improperly targeted....based on political animus. Trump is a Republican, while Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James are Democrats.A spokesperson for Bragg did not immediately return a request for comment. Weisselberg s lawyer s claimed the tax charges are related to federal income tax returns, and are therefore not in the Manhattan district attorney s jurisdiction. They also wrote that the charges against Weisselberg should be tossed because he received immunity against certain federal charges when he testified to a federal grand jury investigating former Trump attorney Michael Cohen.They argued that Cohen s later cooperation in the Manhattan case was in part due to Cohen having a vendetta a Yfzb CBS News poll: The politics of abortion access a year after Dobbs decision overturned Roe vs. Wade Three teenage gi rls were rescued after their car careened over a 100-foot cliff in Northern Arizona and landed on top of the 16-year-old driver after she was thrown from the vehicle, officials said Thursday.The driver suffered only minor injuries because a depression in the roof of the car created a space that enveloped her when the car flipped over and landed.It took dozens of safety personnel from multiple agencies about five hours to extricate the girl late Wednesday in a remote high desert area west of Strawberry. The teen was listed in good condition Thursday at a Flagstaff hospital while the other two girls, ages 16 and 17, were released, according to Yavapai County sheriff s officials. I just remember we had gone really fast around this corner and the car started to lean over, and we all kind of had that moment of, Oh crap, this is going to happen, and then the car just started rolling, Danielle Goldberg, who was a passenger in the car, told CBS affiliate KPHO. Two of the teens had managed to climb up to the road when an ambulance crew responded to a 911 call from a passer-by, said Capt. Paul Voakes of the Pine-Strawberry Fire District.Rescuers used ropes to go down the cliff or hiked in via a creek bed to reach the upside-down car.

Uezk Tampa woman creates coffee-infused dessert business to raise awareness of dementia President Donald Trump has announced he s rolling back an influential environmental law from the Nixon-era that he says delays infrastructure projects. When he first announced the effort in January, the administration set a two-year deadline for completing full environmental impact reviews while less comprehensive assessments would have to be completed within one year. The White House said the final rule will promote the rebuilding of America.Critics call the presidents efforts a cynical attempt to limit the publics ability to review, comment and influence proposed projects under the National Environmental Policy Act, one of the countrys bedrock environmental protection laws.Trump made the announcement at a UPS facility in Atlanta. The changes deal with regulations for how and when authorities must conduct environmental reviews. The goal is to make it easier to build highways, pipelines, chemical plants and other projects. While in Atlanta, Trump said that were reclaiming Americas proud heritage as a nation of builders and a nation that can get things done. Georgia is emerging as a key swing state in the general election. Trump won the Republican-leaning state by 5 percentage points in 2016, but some polls show him trailing former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Xmeh R. Kelly s ex-manager charged with calling in shooting threat to stop Surviving R.Kelly premiere The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saidit has received reports of 792 confirmed cases of a rare co ndition linked to COVID-19. The condition, called Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children MIS-C , was also associated with 16 deaths reported in 42 states, New Yor k City and Washington, D.C., as of last Thursday. Nearly all the cases were in kids who tested positive for the coronavirus, while the rest were among those who were around someone with COVID-19. More than 70% of cases have been in kids who are Hispanic/Latino or Black, according to the CDC.Most kids developed the condition 2-4 weeks after being infected, according to the agency. Children with the condition can experience inflammation in the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes or gastrointestinal organs. They may also have a fever, and symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, neck pain, rash, bloodshot eyes and feeling extra tired, the CDC said. MIS-C is a new syndrome, and many questions remain about why some children develop it after a COVID-19 illness or contact with someone with COVID-19, while others do not, it said. Data released by Florida s health departmentTuesday shows that 64 children in the state have been diagnosed with the condition. An additional case wa s reported in the state in a 20-year-old. The health department didn t say when 14 of the total 65 cases in the state were diagnosed.

Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said in a statement the administration was acting to eliminate unnecessary regulatory burdens while maintaining safety and environmental protection offshore. Officials picked Louisiana s Port Fourchon, a hub for drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, to announce the changes. Port workers in hard hats and reflective safety vests applauded speakers calls for easing regulations.

Kdsf Layoffs Hiring freezes Pay cuts Furloughs Employers weigh options The Susan B. Anthony List, one of the biggest anti-abortion rights groups in the U.S., said Friday that Facebook blocked its political advertisements for including information about abortion later in pregnancy, citing a third-party that marked the ads claims as par tly false. That fact-checker, conservative blog The Dispatch, has since posted an apology and retracted its fact check.The anti-abortion rights group s accusation comes as social media giants have moved to clamp down on misinformation ahead of the November election.In the 15-second ad, the SBA List claims that former Vice President Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris hold extreme views on abortion, and that they support abortion up until the moment of birth, an emotional accu sation that doctors say isn t reflective of medical reality. It s also a practice that neither candidate has specifically addressed. According to a screenshot tweeted by the SBA List, Facebook told the anti-abortion rights groups that the ad can t run given that ads must not include claims debunked by third-party fact checkers. Here s the message we see in our Facebook ads dashboard. Facebook is demanding that we appeal the rejection not to them, but to the third-party fact checker @thedispatch which published the inaccurate fact check article: pic.twitter/hvXsdvAJhNmdash; Susan B.
