Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden's administration formally proposed on Thursday reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a historic shift that would bring federal policy more in line with public opinion. "No one should be in jail merely for using or possessing marijuana. Period," Biden said in a video statement. "Far too many lives have been upended because of a failed approach to marijuana and I'm committed to righting those wrongs." Marijuana has been classified since 1970 as a so-called Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) -- the same level as with her...

New York (AFP) - Donald Trump's lawyer took cracks at key witness Michael Cohen during wide-ranging cross-examination Thursday, questioning his memory and poking at his credibility during the first criminal trial of a former US president. Trump is accused of falsifying business records as he reimbursed Cohen for a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, when her story of a sexual encounter with Trump could have doomed his campaign. The defense team has sought to instill doubt by casting Cohen as a disgruntled ex-employee who habitually lies and is out for blood a...

Houston (AFP) - Texas's Republican governor pardoned a US Army sergeant on Thursday who was convicted of murder for shooting a protester during a Black Lives Matter rally in 2020. Daniel Perry, 37, was convicted in April 2023 of the July 25, 2020 murder of Garrett Foster and sentenced to 25 years in prison. The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles voted unanimously on Thursday to recommend a full pardon for Perry and Governor Greg Abbott issued one. During Perry's eight-day trial, the jury heard conflicting testimony about what occurred between Perry and Foster, a US Air Force veteran. Perry, a ...

Miami (AFP) - Democrats on Thursday slammed a new law introduced by Florida that makes climate change a lesser priority and largely removes the phrase from statutes in the hottest state in the mainland United States. The legislation, which was signed Wednesday by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and comes into effect in July, also bans power-generating wind turbines offshore or near the coast while reducing regulation on gas pipelines. "The legislation I signed today... will keep windmills off our beaches, gas in our tanks, and China out of our state," said DeSantis, who suspended his preside...

Washington (AFP) - US lawmakers attacked the head of a top financial regulator for a second consecutive day on Thursday over accusations his agency failed to deal with workplace misconduct, including reports of discrimination and sexual harassment. Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee called on Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) chair Martin Gruenberg to step down after an independent report found that the agency, set up to protect bank deposits, had failed to tackle workplace misconduct issues going back years. Gruenberg has led the FDIC on and off since 2005, under both Rep...

The US government moved to categorize marijuana as a less dangerous drug on Thursday, meaning people who use or possess the substance are unlikely to go to prison in future. "Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana," US President Joe Biden wrote on social media platform X. "So today, the Justice Dept is taking the next step to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug under federal law." Drugs fall into five different categories in the United States. Up until now, marijuana or cannabis has been in the first and therefore strictest catego...
