Pirro, speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," said new ballistics evidence showed the agent's protective vest contained a buckshot pellet from the Mossberg pump action shotgun Allen allegedly carried on the night of the shooting.Allen has been charged by federal prosecutors with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump in the shooting that left one Secret Service agent shot but uninjured. Prosecutors have also charged Allen with the discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, but until Pirro's comments, law enforcement officials had not disclosed whose bullet hit the agent. "It is definitively his bullet," Pirro said. "He had every intention to kill him

17 minutes agoTinshui YeungBBCThe MV Hondius was sailing from Argentina to Cape VerdeThree people have died after a suspected virus outbreak on a cruise ship sailing in the Atlantic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has told the BBC. One case of Hantavirus has been confirmed, with five more suspected cases under investigation, it said. One British national is reportedly in intensive care. The outbreak was reported aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, which was travelling from Argentina to Cape Verde.Hantavirus infections are usually linked to environmental exposure, such as contact with urine or faeces from infected rodents, but in rare cases can spread between people, leading to severe respiratory illness. Foster Mohale, a spokesperson for South Africa's health ministry, earlier told the BBC that at least two people had died. The MV Hondius is run by Dutch-based tour company Oceanwide Expeditions.According to an itinerary on the Oceanwide Expeditions website, MV Hondius departed from Ushuaia in Argentina on 20 March and was expected to complete its journey on 4 May in Cape Verde.South African authorities told the BBC the first person to show symptoms was a 70-year-old passenger who died on board. His body is now on the island of Saint
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday the government has more evidence than an Instagram post supporting charges that former FBI Director James Comey threatened President Trump. Last year Mr. Comey posted a photo on Instagram depicting seashells on the beach arranged to read “86 47,” which many took as support for killing Mr. Trump. “This is not just about a single Instagram post,” Mr. Blanche said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “This is about a body of evidence that the grand jury collected over the series of about 11 months,” he said. “We will necessarily have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, at trial, every element of this crime, which we’re prepared to do.” A grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, where Mr. Comey took the seashell photo, indicted the former FBI director on two counts, threatening the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. A redacted version of the indictment — the unredacted version is under seal — only references the Instagram post as evidence, saying “a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret [the

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey goes beyond the Instagram post central to his case.“This is not just about a single Instagram post,” Blanche told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “This is about a body of evidence that [prosecutors] collected over the series of about 11 months. That evidence was presented to the grand jury.”Blanche said he was not “permitted” to share the other evidence against Comey that was collected, but added: “At the trial — a public trial that will be open to the public — everybody in this country will know exactly what evidence the government has against Mr. Comey.”Comey was indicted last week on charges alleging he threatened the life of the president after he posted a photo on Instagram of seashells forming the numbers “86 47.”When asked Wednesday whether he actually felt that his life was threatened by Comey’s post, President Donald Trump said, “Probably.”“Well, if anybody knows anything about crime, they know 86 — you know what 86 — it’s a mob term for kill him,” Trump added.Restaurant workers told NBC News the term is “everyday lingo,” noting is has nothing to do
Michigan Senate Democratic candidate Mallory McMorrow said on Sunday that deleting thousands of tweets trashing rural America reflects her authenticity rather than an effort to hide her past.A CNN report this week found that the Senate hopeful had deleted about 6,000 tweets — including posts mocking Middle America and bending the truth about where she was living, working, and voting. In a recent autobiography, McMorrow said she moved to Michigan in 2014, but on social media, she described herself as a California resident in 2016 and voted in California’s June 2016 primary, according to CNN. Reporter Manu Raju pressed McMorrow on the contradictions. “And I don’t need to tell you, but of course, you’re required to vote in the state where you’re a resident. So why were you voting in California two years after moving to Michigan?” Raju asked. “Like a lot of millennials, moving takes time,” McMorrow said, describing a “two-year process” before settling in Michigan from Southern California. “I registered to vote in Michigan in August of 2016 and voted in the general election in November that year.” McMorrow dodged when asked whether she should have voted in California while claiming to live in Michigan.“We still had our

News ArticlePublishedMay 02, 2026 at 04:29 PM EDTBy Hollie SilvermanDeputy Weekend EditorPortland police are investigating a deadly early‑morning crash at the Multnomah Athletic Club after a vehicle slammed into the building’s front entrance and caught fire, killing the driver and prompting a large emergency response. Officers and firefighters were called to the scene in the Goose Hollow neighborhood around 2:49 a.m. Saturday, where they found the vehicle fully engulfed in flames inside the doorway of the club at 1849 SW Salmon Street, a press release from the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) said.After firefighters extinguished the fire, responders discovered one person dead inside the vehicle. As investigators examined the wreckage, they found evidence of an explosive device, leading the PPB's Explosive Disposal Unit to secure the area and call in federal partners from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Technicians used specialized equipment to make the scene safe while officers expanded the perimeter and closed nearby streets.Police say it is too early to determine whether the crash was intentional, accidental, or connected to the device found inside the vehicle. Detectives from the PPB's Major Crimes Unit, along with federal investigators, are now working to piece together

The sale must still be approved by Major League Baseball.The deal with private equity billionaire Feliciano and his wife took shape last month at an MLB-record valuation of $3.9 billion.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities have determined that buckshot from the gun of the man charged with trying to storm the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in an attempt to kill President Donald Trump struck a Secret Service agent, according to the federal prosecutor overseeing the investigation. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said last week there was no evidence the agent was hit by friendly fire during the incident at a Washington hotel on April 25, but she went beyond that Sunday in saying a shot from one of Cole Tomas Allen's weapons hit the officer's bullet-resistant vest.

Donald Trump said on Saturday he was going to review a new peace proposal from Tehran but cast doubt over its prospects, saying Iran had not yet “paid a big enough price”.Two semiofficial Iranian news outlets, Tasnim and Fars, believed to be close to Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, said Iran had sent the US a new 14-point proposal via Pakistan.“I’ll let you know about it later,” Trump said of the proposal on Saturday, before boarding Air Force One, adding that “they’re going to give me the exact wording now”.Shortly after speaking to reporters, Trump posted on social media about the new proposal, saying he “can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years.”Trump rejected a previous Iranian proposal this week.

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was reviewing a new offer from the Iranian regime to the end the war, but offered little optimism that the proposal would succeed."I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years," the president wrote in a Truth Social post. Shortly before the post went live, Trump responded to questions from reporters on the tarmac at Palm Beach International Airport about the negotiations. The president said he would let reporters know whether he accepted or rejected the Iranian offer soon.On Friday, Trump had said he was "not satisfied" with the proposal, but said Saturday he would examine its details further."They told me about the concept of the deal," Trump said. "They’re going to give me the exact wording now.”Iran’s latest proposal would open shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. blockade, while pushing off talks on Iran’s nuclear programs for later.Trump's comments come as he weighs how to proceed in the weeks-long

May 2, 2026Updated May 3, 2026, 2:42 p.m. ETA mass shooting at a Texas apartment complex left two teens dead and 10 people injured, police said.Early on May 2, Amarillo police responded to a reported shooting at an apartment, where juveniles and young adults had gathered at a party, according to a department news release. The party began at another location and moved to the apartment.Police said preliminary information indicated several people were asked to leave the original location but later showed up at the apartment complex. They tried to enter the apartment and opened fire using what police described as a “rifle-style weapon.”Two boys, ages 17 and 16, died in the shooting, police said. Ten people, whose ages weren't listed, sustained injuries.Police said the investigation is ongoing. No arrests have been made, but investigators believe there are two suspects. Amarillo Police Chief Thomas Hover said investigators believe the suspects had an "affiliation with the targeted location" and one of the occupants at the party knew them.Police recovered a Glock 9mm handgun on a nearby landing, but investigators believe suspects used multiple weapons based on cartridge casings recovered in an alley near the apartment complex.Amarillo, a Texas Panhandle city of
President Donald Trump's approval rating has hit the lowest point of his second presidential term, a new poll by ABC News, The Washington Post, and Ipsos shows.The poll, released on April 30, showed Trump’s approval rating at 37 percent, with a disapproval rating of 62 percent, which is a record high across both of his presidential terms.Across every major policy area tested—including the economy, immigration, inflation, taxes and foreign policy—respondents were found to view Trump’s handling more negatively than positively.As the U.S. midterms approach, the findings suggest Trump’s governing position could be weakening, as well as his party’s hold of the House—the poll also found that voters would be more inclined to vote for a Democratic candidate if a U.S. House of Representatives election was held today.If a president's approval ratings drop, they can retain credibility on certain issues, although, as Trump's handling of eight key policy areas appear to be more widely viewed as negative, it suggests the road ahead could be even trickier for the president.Trump and his administration have pushed back on negative interpretations of his approval rating—he recently told NewsMax in a phone interview: "It is a problem I'm not on the ballot.

ROME (AP) — Alex Zanardi, the Italian auto racing champion-turned-Paralympic gold medalist whose career was marked by two life-altering accidents, has died. He was 59.Zanardi’s family announced his death on Saturday, saying that he passed away on Friday night.“Alex died peacefully, surrounded by the affection of those closest to him,” the family said in a statement without providing a cause of death.In 2020, Zanardi was seriously injured in a handbike accident after crashing into an oncoming truck during a relay event in Tuscany. Zanardi suffered serious facial and cranial trauma in the crash and was put in a medically induced coma.Nearly 20 years earlier, Zanardi lost both of his legs in an auto racing crash.“Italy loses a great champion and an extraordinary man, capable of turning every challenge of life into a lesson in courage, strength, and dignity,” Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said on X. “Alex Zanardi knew how to bounce back every time, facing even the toughest challenges with determination, clarity, and a strength of spirit that was truly exceptional,” Meloni added. “He gave all of us much more than a victory: he gave hope, pride, and the strength to never give up. ... Thank you for everything, Alex.”
Two members of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s party in the north-western Sinaloa state said they would temporarily step down from their posts after the United States charged them and eight other politicians and security officers with drug trafficking.The bombshell indictment against the 10 has shaken Mexico’s political establishment.In a short video announcement at midnight on Friday, Gov Rubén Rocha Moya, the highest-ranking official named in the indictment, denied accusations that he protected the Sinaloa cartel and helped it smuggle vast quantities of drugs into the US in exchange for political support and millions of dollars in bribes.“My conscience is clear,” said Rocha, 76, a longtime ally of influential former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. “To my people and to my family, I can look you in the eye because I have never betrayed you, and I never will.”But he said he would take a temporary leave of absence from the position he has held for six years to defend himself against what he called the “false and malicious” allegations and cooperate with the Mexican government’s investigation.Juan de Dios Gámez Mendívil, the mayor of the Sinaloa state capital of Culiacán named in the indictment, also said he would take leave and
The U.S. Air Force has finished modifying and testing a Boeing 747 jet donated by Qatar for temporary use as Air Force One and expects to have it ready for President Donald Trump to use this summer, the service announced late Friday. The jet is currently being painted red, white and blue, the Air Force said in a news release. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accepted the luxury jet a year ago despite questions about the ethics and legality of accepting an expensive gift from a foreign nation, as well as concerns about security and cyber intelligence. Trump has defended the gift as a way to save tax dollars. Trump has said he wouldn’t fly around in the aircraft when his term ends. Instead, he said, the plane would be donated to a future presidential library, similar to how the Boeing 707 used by President Ronald Reagan was decommissioned and put on display as a museum piece. Air Force officials said the former Qatari jet will serve as a “bridge” until Boeing is ready to deliver a pair of new aircraft, which is now expected in 2028.
