Trump files to have DC judge recuse from election subversion case

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:39:07 GMT

By Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin Richer | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Lawyers for Donald Trump on Monday asked the federal judge presiding over his election subversion case in Washington to recuse herself, saying her past public statements about the former president and his connection to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol call into question whether she can be fair.The recusal motion from Trump’s lawyers takes aim at U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, a former assistant public defender who was nominated to the bench by President Barack Obama and has stood out as one of the toughest punishers of Jan. 6 defendants. The request is a long shot given the high threshold for recusal and because the decision on whether to recuse belongs to Chutkan, who is unlikely to see cause to step aside from the case.Even so, the request that she give up the high-stakes trial marks the latest flashpoint in already delicate relations between the defense team and the judge, who has repeatedl...

Associated PressTASELI PLATEAU, Turkey — Rescuers pulled an American researcher out of a Turkish cave on Monday, more than a week after he became seriously ill 1,000 meters (more than 3,000 feet) below its entrance, said the Speleological Federation of Turkey.Teams from across Europe had rushed to Morca cave in southern Turkey’s Taurus Mountains to aid Mark Dickey, a 40-year-old experienced caver who became seriously ill on Sept. 2 with stomach bleeding. He was on an expedition to map the cave, which is the country’s third deepest.Dickey was too frail to climb out himself, so rescuers carried him with the help of a stretcher, making frequent stops at temporary camps set up along the way.“Mark Dickey is out of the Morca cave. He is fine and is being tended to by emergency medical worker in the encampment above,” said a statement by the speleological federation on Monday. “Thus, the cave rescue part of the operation has ended successfully.

Trump solicita a jueza que se retire de caso por presunta intervención electoral

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:39:07 GMT

Los abogados del expresidente Donald Trump tomaron medidas este lunes para “recusar y descalificar” a la jueza de Washington DC que preside el caso federal que lo acusa de intentar intervenir las elecciones presidenciales de 2020 y promover los eventos que culminaron en el asalto al Capitolio federal el 6 de enero de 2021. En un expediente judicial, los abogados de Trump citaron las referencias de la jueza Tanya Chutkan al expresidente en otros casos penales relacionados con el ataque a la sede del Congreso en Washington DC. “La jueza Chutkan, en relación con otros casos, ha sugerido que el presidente Trump debería ser procesado y encarcelado. Tales declaraciones, hechas antes de que comenzara este caso y sin el debido proceso, son inherentemente descalificantes. Aunque la jueza Chutkan puede realmente tener la intención de darle al presidente Trump un juicio justo, y puede creer que puede hacerlo, sus declaraciones públicas inevitablemente contaminan estos procedi...

The Browns’ defense appears transformed under new coordinator Jim Schwartz

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns’ most significant acquisition this offseason wasn’t on the field for a single snap in Sunday’s season-opening win over Cincinnati.Jim Schwartz received a game ball.Cleveland’s new defensive coordinator designed a plan that overwhelmed quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bengals, who managed just 142 total yards and six first downs in a rain-soaked 24-3 loss to the Browns.With All-Pro end Myles Garrett leading the charge — while also showing off some basketball moves — the Browns pressured Burrow from the start, hurrying the newly minted $275 million QB into making bad throws on a day when just gripping the ball was a challenge.Burrow managed 82 yards passing — by far the worst performance of his NFL career — against a rebuilt Cleveland defense that showed off its depth, versatility, swagger and an aggressiveness that has defined Schwartz’s career.The fiery 57-year-old former Detroit head coach, who won a Super Bowl as Philadelphia...

Vikings must quickly regroup after the unpleasant surprise of losing a close opener

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:39:07 GMT

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — For all the mistakes the Minnesota Vikings made to waste a significant amount of their good work in the season opener, the feeling was strong on their sideline — and throughout the stadium, for that matter — that they would ultimately extract a victory from a tight game.The Vikings turned that into an art form last year, after all, setting an NFL record with 11 wins in 11 decisions by eight points or fewer.This time, those vital fourth-quarter plays just weren’t made.“There’s an unwavering belief in this locker room. Even when there’s five minutes left and we were down by a field goal, we thought we had that one for sure,” tight end T.J. Hockenson said.The offense went three-and-out on its last two possessions. The defense allowed a fourth-down conversion to extend Tampa Bay’s drive for the tiebreaking field goal and later let the Buccaneers drain the final 3:52 off the clock Sunday with a 15-yard facemask penalty and two third-down conversions for a ...
