Waukesha (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump used a break in his hush money trial to stage back-to-back appearances in two Midwestern battleground states Wednesday -- but kept his legal woes front-and-center as he accused President Joe Biden of weaponizing the courts against him. The former Republican president, who is running for a return to the White House, rallied supporters in Wisconsin and Michigan, among the most hotly contested states in his expected rematch with Democrat Biden in November.

New York (AFP) - US actor Jonathan Majors was sentenced Monday to a year of domestic violence counseling, but avoided jail time after being convicted of assaulting and harassing his then-girlfriend -- a saga that cost him a prime role in Marvel's superhero blockbusters.

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court dealt a blow Friday to three Muslim men who accused the FBI of having spied on them because of their religion after the attacks of September 11, 2001. While it did not shut the case down completely, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the government had the right to invoke state secrets privilege to refuse to provide information to the court responsible for studying the men's complaint.

"The US Supreme Court can right what we believe is a grievous wrong," Kevin Steele, district attorney for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania said in a statement announcing that the appeal had been filed last Wednesday.
