Authored by Jill McLaughlin via The Epoch Times, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier sought to inspect records from The New York Times on Aug. 10, claiming the newspaper’s pattern of admitted mistakes covering the Israel-Hamas war threatens the state’s pension fund. The New York Times building in Manhattan on Feb. 5, 2024. Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times Uthmeier, representing the pension fund and the thousands of shares it holds in company, sent a 28-page letter to The New York Times seeking to scrutinize six years’ worth of internal records, board documents, and meeting minutes, dating back to January 2020, and asking the company to prove it was operating smoothly. “The Times tells investors that its brand and reputation are its most important assets and that if people see its journalism as unreliable or biased, the company can be hurt,” Uthmeier said in a video on X. “We want to exercise our rights under New York law to review the company’s internal board documents, meeting minutes, reports, and other materials, to see what the directors know. “The …
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro on Friday moved to dismiss an indictment charging U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn with vandalizing the Reflecting Pool of the Lincoln Memorial, writing in a court filing that damage to the pool’s sealant was the result of a “flawed installation.” Pirro, in a court filing in D.C. Superior Court, said her office received information and evidence after the charges were filed that “significantly undermine the evidentiary basis for the indictment.” Hearn had been charged with felony destruction of property in early July, with Pirro saying at a press conference that he “violently” ripped up part of the pool’s liner with his bare hands. Hearn’s attorneys accused the Trump administration of making the 67-year-old ex-Olympian a “scapegoat” for the expensive and troubled renovation, which President Donald Trump had frequently boasted about. After the pool appeared to continue leaking following its renovation, Trump repeatedly claimed, without providing evidence, that vandals had cut a gash hundreds of feet long along the bottom. But Pirro said in Friday’s court filing that a “botched …
Yves Bouvier is back in federal court in New York. The Swiss art dealer has asked a judge in the Southern District of New York to compel Sotheby’s to turn over records relating to the private sale of a Pablo Picasso painting, saying the documents are needed for a criminal case he recently launched in France against French art dealer Antoine Peretti. According to court filings, Bouvier purchased Picasso’s Intimité (Femmes et Enfants) from Peretti in April 2024 for $7.25 million. Under the parties’ agreement, Bouvier says he bought the work with the expectation that it would eventually be resold, with any profit above the purchase price split evenly between the two men. Related Articles But Bouvier alleges that just weeks later the painting was resold through Milocci Limited, doing business as de Sarthe Gallery, to Sotheby’s for a net seller price of $9 million. According to the filing, Peretti never told him the painting had been resold or where the money had gone. Bouvier claims Peretti also failed to return the $7.25 million purchase price or …
FILE PHOTO: Former FBI Director James Comey testifies before a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., June 8, 2017. Aaron P. Bernstein | Reuters Lawyers for James Comey allege the U.S. Secret Service “knowingly conducted illegal electronic surveillance” of the former FBI director at the request of a high-level official on the same day President Donald Trump claimed Comey was threatening “assassination” by posting a photo of seashells on a North Carolina beach forming the numbers “8647,” a new court filing says. The filing on Tuesday night also says a Secret Service supervisor said the warrantless surveillance of Comey in May 2025 was “legally questionable” but that the agency “might do it anyway.” And it alleges that the Secret Service conducted the surveillance after the “number three” person at the Department of Justice asked for it. The filing says that the surveillance included keeping tabs on Comey and his wife as they returned to Washington, D.C., from North Carolina, “including as …
KYIV: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Russia has sought an extra 30,000 troops and missile launchers from North Korea to fight his country. Preparations for the extra troops are being made in Russia’s Voronezh region near the frontier with Ukraine, Zelensky said in a social media post late Saturday (Jul 25). North Korea sent thousands of troops to help Russia fight off a Ukrainian counter-offensive in the Kursk region in 2024. It has also provided arms to help Russia’s invasion since 2022. According to South Korea, some 2,000 North Korean troops have been killed in the war. “Russia wants to receive another 30,000 troops from North Korea. Since June, preparations have been underway in Russia’s Voronezh region to receive them,” Zelensky said on X. “North Korea is also preparing to transfer additional launchers for ballistic missiles to Russia. This is a threat not only to Ukraine. Russia is helping North Korea learn how to wage war, improve its weapons, and gain real combat experience in using them,” he added. “All of this is …
The United Arab Emirates suffered the largest number of Iranian attacks during the open conflict between Iran and the United States in March and April. Tehran has since shifted its attention towards Bahrain and Kuwait. Air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain on Wednesday as the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf remain on the front line of the confrontation between the United States and Iran. Ships from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have also been attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. There are several reasons for this shift, says Ghuloom. “The first, I would say, is the long-standing historical tensions between Iran and these two countries. With Bahrain, there is this historical, propaganda-driven claim by Iran over the country.” Animosity towards Kuwait intensified during the conflict after the country arrested agents of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who were attempting to enter the country, he said. Video footage released by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ Sepah News website on 14 July allegedly shows a missile being launched from an undisclosed location towards US targets …

Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times, The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Monday that it has filed to denaturalize 10 individuals charged or convicted with various crimes, including offenses against minors. “Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a naturalized U.S. citizen’s citizenship may be revoked, and certificate of naturalization canceled, if the naturalization was illegally procured or procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation,” the DOJ said in a July 20 statement, adding that the Trump administration was continuing its “largest denaturalization effort ever.” One of the individuals targeted for denaturalization is Rodriguez Perez, 45, of Cuban origin, who was naturalized as an American in 2018.
