The Department Of Justice is requesting severe penalties for five members of the farright gang, the proud boys, convicted on some of the most serious charges weve seen in connection with the january 6th attack on the capitol. Not to be clear, this is the second group of Violent Conspirators in the Capitol Attack that the doj has successfully prosecuted.

Not in manhattan but in florida where hes now fighting to end his classified documents case even before it goes to trial. The Special Prosecutor calling the claims legally and factually flawed. The terrifying turbulence of a flight over thailand, passengers launched from their seats, some slamming into the ceiling of the plane as it hit an air pocket. The flight plum meting 6,000 feet in minutes. What investigators on the scene are looking for. With closing arguments in trumps Hush Money Trial Set for next week were on the verge of answering a question, thats been hanging over the president ial race for more than a year.
