The video comes after Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida was raided by the FBI in search of classified documents. Following the raid, Trump criticized the FBI and said that Americans are angry about what he has called a "witch hunt." The video began with a clip that has gone viral on social media in recent days. In August 2016, during Trump's presidential campaign, he spoke about how he would protect classified information.

Kate Greville lied to Ryan Giggs about having cancerous cells, court hears
Follow today's live court action R yan Giggs's ex-girlfriend has revealed that she lied to the former footballer about having cancerous cells detected in a smear test so that she "would not have to have sex with him". In late October 2020, just days before an alleged headbutt at the centre of the trial, Kate Greville, 36, told a friend she was going to end her contraception in secret. When Mr Giggs became suspicious that something was afoot, the PR executive told him: "I had a smear test…And I had cancerous cells, I have to go to hospital on Thursday." The ex-footballer responded in shock, and asked her what exactly the test had shown, to which she responded "high-grade dyskaryosis". Chris Daw QC, for the defence, said that the pair continued to have "regular and enthusiastic sex" aftwerwards, and referring to the contraceptive coil that Ms Greville was getting removed without letting her then boyfriend know, "Your plan was to get pregnant by Mr Giggs, wasn’t it? "No, … [Read more...] about Kate Greville lied to Ryan Giggs about having cancerous cells, court hears

R yan Giggs' ex-girlfriend said she realised she was being "lured" into an affair with him after reading a psychology book, a court has heard. The ex-Wales manager is accused of assaulting Kate Greville, 36, and subjecting her to controlling and coercive behaviour from August 2017 to November 2020. Ms Greville told jurors at Manchester Crown Court that she had read How to Win Friends and Influence People for work purposes, and the ex-footballer's actions "mind games" reminded her of it. The defence told Manchester Crown Court the suggestion Mr Giggs lured Ms Greville into a relationship with psychological tricks was "rubbish". During her research of coercion, Ms Greville - who said she was "really into psychology" - determined that Mr Giggs had "narcissistic personality disorder" after a Google search. Two lost phones The court also heard how Ms Greville had lost two phones after police requested to review them for evidence.

Archie Battersbee: Family win right to appeal against ruling that son is brain dead
The parents of a 12-year-old boy ruled as brain dead have been granted the right to appeal. Doctors treating Archie Battersbee at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, east London, thought he was "brain-stem dead" after a freak incident at his home. In the High Court family division, Mrs Justice Arbuthnot ruled last week that the boy died "at noon on May 31 2022" based on MRI scans and gave Barts Health NHS Trust permission to disconnect him from a ventilator. It was thought to be the first time someone was declared "likely" to be dead based on an MRI scan, which the court heard is not as reliable as the usual brain stem test. But lawyers for Archie's parents, Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee, pointed out that their son’s heart was still beating. At a follow-up High Court hearing on Monday, the judge granted Ms Dance and Mr Battersbee permission to mount a bid to overturn the ruling at the Court of Appeal. A barrister leading the family’s legal team argued that … [Read more...] about Archie Battersbee: Family win right to appeal against ruling that son is brain dead
Duke and Duchess of Sussex ‘have no plans to meet Cambridges’ on UK trip
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no plans to see the Cambridges when they return to the UK next month, The Telegraph understands. The couple will visit both the UK and Germany to attend multiple charity events “close to their hearts”, their spokesman announced on Monday. It raised the prospect that the Duke of Sussex might take the opportunity to reconcile with his brother , with whom tensions remain. The pair are not thought to have spoken face to face since last summer, when they unveiled a statue of their late mother , Diana, Princess of Wales, at Kensington Palace. However, although by then the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be ensconced in their new property on the Windsor estate, just a stone’s throw from the Sussexes’ Frogmore Cottage , there is no current expectation that they will meet. The visit will be focused on their charity work, sources insisted. The trip will come just weeks ahead of the Duke of Sussex’s expected book launch , which … [Read more...] about Duke and Duchess of Sussex ‘have no plans to meet Cambridges’ on UK trip
Child rapist dies after drinking mystery liquid as judge handed down 100-year sentence
A convicted child sexual abuser facing 100 years in prison has died after drinking from a bottle of water believed to contain cyanide as the guilty verdict was read out in court. Edward Leclair, 57, started chugging water from a bottle after a jury in Denton County, Texas, found him to have committed five counts of child sexual assault. He was rushed to hospital but did not survive, leaving members of the jury in tears and court staff and lawyers shaken. “I looked over and noticed him drinking,” Mike Howard, his lawyer, said. “His hand was shaking. At the time, I thought it was shaking because of the verdict. Then he kept drinking and drinking.” Jamie Beck, the first assistant attorney for the Denton County District Attorney’s office, which prosecuted the case, said: “We’ve had incidents of people fainting. We’ve had heart attacks. We’ve even had people who fake illness. But never something like this,” he told the Washington Post. The cause of death is still being … [Read more...] about Child rapist dies after drinking mystery liquid as judge handed down 100-year sentence
Wanted Romanian man arrested over Vietnamese lorry deaths
A Romanian man British police want to speak to in connection with the deaths of 39 people who were discovered in a lorry trailer in Essex, has been arrested. Marius Mihai Draghici, 48, was detained by police in Bucharest following the execution of a European arrest warrant. An application is now being made to extradite him to the UK, Essex police said.

Speaking last month, Detective Chief Inspector Louise Metcalfe, who is leading the investigation, said: "The investigation into the tragic deaths of the 39 Vietnamese nationals is the most complex ever undertaken by Essex Police.

But we made a promise to the families of those who lost their lives in Essex in October 2019 that we would not … [Read more...] about Wanted Romanian man arrested over Vietnamese lorry deaths
Billions ‘would starve to death within first years of nuclear war’
Two-thirds of people on the planet would die from starvation within two years of a nuclear war between the US and Russia, researchers have concluded. Modelling by Rutgers University, in the US, suggested nuclear weapon detonation would cause massive fires and inject soot into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight from reaching the surface and devastating crops. The biggest war would bring starvation to three-quarters of people and kill up to five billion within two years. But even a smaller nuclear skirmish - such as between India and Pakistan - would likely lead to 2.5 billion deaths within 24 months, the team has estimated. To judge the global devastation, researchers calculated how much Sun-blocking soot would enter the atmosphere from firestorms ignited by the detonation of nuclear weapons . Under even the smallest nuclear scenario, food production based on total calorie content would reduce by seven per cent, but a full-scale conflict between US and Russia would see a … [Read more...] about Billions ‘would starve to death within first years of nuclear war’
