Washington (AFP) - A flag carried by US Capitol rioters was displayed last year at a Supreme Court justice's vacation home, The New York Times reported Wednesday, after revelations a similarly provocative flag was flown outside his residence. Conservative Justice Samuel Alito last week faced calls by Democrats to recuse himself from cases involving Donald Trump after the Times confirmed an inverted American flag -- a symbol of the ex-president's false election fraud claims -- was raised at his Virginia home in 2021. Then on Wednesday the daily reported an "Appeal to Heaven" flag was flown outs...

Miami (AFP) - A Florida judge held hearings on Wednesday on bids by former president Donald Trump and his co-defendants to dismiss the charges they face for allegedly mishandling classified documents. The hearings were held in Fort Pierce, Florida, before District Judge Aileen Cannon, who has indefinitely postponed Trump's criminal trial in the case. Lawyers for Trump, who is seeking to recapture the White House in November, and his co-defendants -- his valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira -- have filed multiple motions seeking to have the case thrown out. Trump ...

Houston (AFP) - Relatives of children killed or wounded by a mass shooter in Uvalde two years ago have reached a $2 million settlement with the Texas city, a lawyer for the families said Wednesday. Nineteen small children and two teachers were killed when a teenage gunman went on a rampage at Robb Elementary School in May 2022 in America's worst school shooting in a decade. The response by law enforcement to the situation has come in for harsh criticism and a Justice Department probe found there were "critical failures" by police. Officers eventually shot and killed the gunman but waited more ...

Washington (AFP) - L'héritage du "King" continue de défrayer la chronique: la petite-fille d'Elvis Presley est parvenue mercredi à bloquer temporairement la vente de "Graceland", la propriété mondialement célèbre du chanteur à Memphis, un an après des polémiques autour du testament de la fille de l'icône du rock'n'roll. Un juge du Tennessee, dans le sud des Etats-Unis, a ordonné la suspension de la mise aux enchères de Graceland, à la demande des représentants de l'actrice Riley Keough, petite-fille d'Elvis et Priscilla Presley et fille de feu Lisa Marie Presley. La vente devait avoir lieu jeu...

Washington (AFP) - A judge in Tennessee on Wednesday temporarily halted a foreclosure sale of Graceland, the historic home of Elvis Presley in the southern US state. The auction of the property had been scheduled to take place on Thursday but was paused by Shelby County Chancellor JoeDae Jenkins. Presley's granddaughter, actress Riley Keough, had filed a lawsuit seeking to block the sale of the sprawling estate in Memphis. A company called Naussany Investments & Private Lending was seeking to auction off Graceland, claiming that Keough's mother, Lisa Marie Presley, had put it up as collateral ...

Miami (AFP) - Une juge de Floride (sud-est) n'a pas pris de décision mercredi après une audience consacrée à une nouvelle demande des avocats de Donald Trump d'abandonner les charges pesant contre l'ancien président américain dans l'affaire de sa présumée gestion négligente de documents secrets. Donald Trump, 77 ans, qui est actuellement jugé à New York dans une autre affaire pénale, pour des paiements dissimulés à une ancienne vedette de films X affirmant avoir eu une relation sexuelle avec lui, n'était pas présent à l'audience à Fort Pierce. Le candidat républicain à la présidentielle de nov...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's defense lawyers rested their case Tuesday -- without the former president following through on a vow to testify -- as the judge scheduled jury deliberations in the historic criminal trial for next week. The trial has not been televised due to New York law, and experts are divided on whether the five weeks in court, more than 20 witnesses and often salacious testimony have damaged Trump politically. But the looming verdict represents a moment of peril for Trump, less than six months before election day when he hopes to oust President Joe Biden and return to the W...

By Sylvain PEUCHMAURD Londres (AFP) - Accusé d'avoir dissimulé pendant des décennies l'ampleur du scandale du sang contaminé, le gouvernement britannique a promis mardi de commencer dès cette année à indemniser les milliers de victimes de cette affaire sans précédent. Après la publication lundi d'un rapport accablant des autorités dans ce scandale qui a fait 3.000 morts, le Premier ministre Rishi Sunak a présenté des excuses officielles et promis une "indemnisation complète" des victimes. "Quel qu'en soit le coût", "nous paierons", a-t-il promis, face à ce qui est considéré comme "la pire cata...

New York (AFP) - After approximately five weeks, 19 witnesses, reams of documents and a dash of salacious testimony, the prosecution against Donald Trump rested its case Monday, handing over to the defense before closing arguments expected next week. Trump's team immediately sought to undermine key testimony against the former president, who is accused of covering up hush money paid to a porn star over an alleged encounter that could have derailed his successful 2016 White House bid. His attorneys called lawyer Robert Costello -- who once advised star prosecution witness Michael Cohen before f...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's New York criminal trial briefly descended into chaos Monday when the judge became infuriated by a defense witness's behavior and pandemonium broke out between journalists and court officers. Lawyer Robert Costello, called up to testify by Trump's team, exasperated normally unflappable Judge Juan Merchan by constantly griping at his rulings. Each time Merchan upheld a challenge from prosecutors to his statements on the stand, Costello would shake his head or sigh theatrically. When Costello responded to another objection being upheld with an audible "Jeez!", Merc...
