Trump, stone-faced, pleads not guilty in court appearance

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 21:40:04 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump turned his head toward photographers as he sat, stone-faced with shoulders rounded, at the defense table in a downtown Manhattan courtroom. “Not guilty,” he said in a firm voice during a historic appearance before a judge Tuesday. Trump became the first U.S. president ever to be charged with a crime. Prosecutors state in a 34-count felony indictment that Trump conspired to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election through hush money payments to two women, including a porn performer, who said they had sexual encounters with him. In addition, charging documents say a payoff went to a doorman who claimed to have a story about an out-of-wedlock child allegedly fathered by Trump. Earlier, Trump struck a defiant pose, raising a clenched fist as he exited Trump Tower for the short ride from midtown to lower Manhattan. He wore a dark blue suit, white shirt and red tie. Television news helicopters followed his motorcade’s route, allowin...

Like a lot of new moms, Julie Ertz had emotional conversations with her husband about what her return to work would look like after having a child. Only Ertz’s job as a midfielder for the United States is a bit more unusual. And in her case, returning to work means preparing for a Women’s World Cup. Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz, as an athlete himself, understood the challenges his wife was facing. One conversation in particular stood out. “I was sitting on the couch with my husband and my baby and just — we talked about everything, like having a baby, the process of having a baby, life, wanting to play, but how does it work logistically and making sure my family is there,” she said on Tuesday. “It’s all that.

Wolf reintroduction could be delayed by proposed law

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 21:40:04 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — A bipartisan group of lawmakers is looking to put limits on wolf reintroduction in Colorado. Wildlife advocates say it could delay the process by six years or more.State legislators introduced the bill last week. It would prohibit wolf reintroduction in Colorado until two conditions are met under federal law: certain wolf management rules are finalized and an environmental impact study is complete. Which Colorado cities have the longest and shortest summers? Gray wolves are listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, but Colorado is in charge of reintroduction in the state. Because of this, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is in the process of designating Colorado's wolves as a "nonessential experimental population," which the bill's authors say would give the state "greater flexibility to manage the wolves" once reintroduced.That rule-making process is expected to be complete by the end of the year. That's also around when wolf reintroduction is scheduled t...
