Washington (AFP) - If anyone expected Joe Biden and his election campaign to be celebrating Donald Trump's criminal conviction, they were disappointed. Instead Biden appears to be treading a fine line between reminding voters that his opponent is a convicted felon, while simultaneously keeping a presidential distance above the fray. His campaign stressed that Trump -- who has repeatedly claimed without evidence that the case was political -- remains a dangerous threat as he eyes a comeback to the White House. "In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law," Biden campaign communicatio...

Politico quoted a US government representative as saying that the move was to allow the Ukrainian military to "hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them." On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had indicated that Washington could tolerate Ukraine using Western weapons aga...

U.S. President Joe Biden's administration secretly lifted the ban for Ukraine to strike Russian territory with American weapons, but "solely near the area of Kharkiv," Politico reported on May 30, citing three unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump became the first former US president ever convicted of a crime after a New York jury found him guilty on all charges in his hush money case, months before an election that could see him yet return to the White House. The jury found him guilty on each of the 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide a payment meant to silence porn star Stormy Daniels. He could in theory be sentenced to four years behind bars for each count but is more likely to receive probation. The 77-year-old Republican, who was released without bail, is now a felon -- a historic and star...

Washington (AFP) - A panel of 12 New Yorkers were unanimous in their determination that Donald Trump is guilty as charged -- but for the impact on his election prospects, the jury is still out. The Republican billionaire was convicted of all 34 charges in New York on Thursday, and now finds himself bidding for a second presidential term unsure if he'll be spending 2025 in the Oval Office, on probation or in jail. The polarizing case has produced months of TV coverage and furious denouncements from partisans on both sides, but for the public at large, analysts and pollsters are expecting the re...

Washington (AFP) - The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered what appears to be a new record-holder for the most distant known galaxy, a remarkably bright star system that existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang, NASA said Thursday. Since coming online in 2022, the Webb telescope has ushered in a new era of scientific breakthroughs, peering farther than ever before into the universe's distant reaches -- which also means it is looking back in time. And the latest finding has "profound implications" for our understanding of the so-called Cosmic Dawn, researchers said. An internatio...

New York (AFP) - The jury in Donald Trump's hush money trial announced Thursday in a note to the court that it has reached a verdict, indicating that this would be delivered in less than an hour. The note, issued at 4:20 pm (2020 GMT), said jurors requested a short time more to prepare before being able to announce the verdict. Trump is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star on the eve of his 2016 election win, so that the actress would not go public with her claim of a sexual encounter. Earlier Thursday, the panel had asked Judge Juan Merchan to...
