On Wednesday, European leaders reacted with apprehension to President-elect Donald Trump's refusal to rule out occupying Greenland with military force. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told reporters in Berlin on Wednesday that the European Union's leaders will not stand for the borders of Denmark to be violated, as international law upholds the sovereignty of Danish land. The idea of inviolability of borders applies to all countries, whether they are to the east or west of us, Scholz added, adding that in his conversations with our European allies, a certain lack of understanding has surfaced over recent pronouncements from the USA. His remarks followed Trump's refusal on Tuesday to rule out using economic pressure or military force to try to seize Greenland. He made these comments during a ...

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department said in a filing Wednesday that special counsel Jack Smith has given Attorney General Merrick Garland the completed final report on his two investigations that led to felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump. Garland plans to make part of the report public, provided a federal appeals court overturns an injunction imposed by a judge appointed by Trump. The Justice Department filed the lawsuit independently of Smith's office after U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was chosen by Trump, temporarily blocked the report's release until three days after the 11th Circuit's decision on a pending request to stop the findings. The Florida judge, Cannon, sided with the claim that Smith's appointment was unlawful and dismissed the allegations against T...

In a famous Friends prop, Lisa Kudrow recently disclosed that she had found a hidden gift from Matthew Perry: a note left for her by her late friend and co-star. During a Tuesday episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Kudrow revealed that on the last day of filming for the ten-season sitcom, Perry gave her the "Cookie Time" cookie jar. Kudrow acknowledged, "Yes, but I'm too scared to tell you what," when asked if she had taken anything from the set. I can't say, but I am too. I'm scared. Someone is going to come take it away from me. Barrymore jokingly said, "I'm not sure why. It was the Cookie Time jar, I just realized. In reference to the noteworthy prop that Perry had stolen off the set, Kudrow explained, "No, Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode." "I just discovered the ...

With a sentencing hearing set for Friday, President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday requested that the Supreme Court halt criminal proceedings in his New York hush money case. In order to give the justices time to take action prior to the sentencing hearing, the court has instructed New York prosecutors to reply to Trump's request by Thursday morning. "This Court should enter an immediate stay of further proceedings in the New York trial court to prevent grave injustice and harm to the institution of the Presidency and the operations of the federal government," the attorneys for Trump stated in the latest petition. They contend that since the Supreme Court acknowledged earlier this year that Trump was covered by presidential immunity, the case should not proceed. "The Constitution, establi...

More than 80,000 people have been ordered to leave the Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, and Sylmar neighborhoods of Los Angeles due to four swift-moving flames and "life-threatening and destructive" winds.

Israel Katz, the country's defense minister, announced Tuesday that the bodies of Youssef and Hamza Ziyadne, the father and son hostages, had been discovered in Gaza. Katz expressed his sympathies to the family of X and promised that their memories would live on. He continued by saying that while serving as Israel's foreign minister, he supported the brave family during trying times and developed a close relationship with Ali, Yosef's brother and Hamza's uncle, who traveled with me on many of my diplomatic engagements. As international mediators stepped their attempts to finalize a truce and hostage exchange agreement between Israel and the Palestinian organization Hamas, Palestinian medical professionals said that Israeli military attacks in Gaza killed at least 27 Palestinians on Wedne...

In relation to an investigation into a tourist in Puerto Rico who is suspected of setting shops on fire last week, federal investigators executed a search warrant in St. Louis on Tuesday. The owner of a hotel building called the events a "nightmare, then step by step you're hit with the reality amid the screams." Spokesman Lisa Storey told NBC News that while the St. Louis Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is assisting law enforcement in the U.S. territory with an arson investigation, no arrests have been made. Puerto Rico's biggest newspaper, El Nuevo D'A, stated Tuesday that authorities are almost ready to charge a suspect in the incident, where surveillance cameras captured a visitor who is thought to have started the fire. Lt. Miguel Rivera Seplveda of the explosives ...

According to the team on Tuesday, former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Brian Matusz, a first-round draft selection and a beloved teammate throughout his eight seasons in major league baseball, passed away at the age of 37. His reason of death wasn't revealed right away. The left-handed pitcher was selected fourth overall by Baltimore in the June 2008 MLB Draft after winning the West Coast Conference Pitcher of the Year award while attending the University of San Diego. The following spring, he began his eight-year MLB career with Baltimore after making the big club rather fast. In 2010, he won a career-high 10 games in 32 starts, which was his best season as a starting pitcher. As a workhorse relief pitcher, Matusz achieved greater success later in his career. From 2013 to 2015, he made 186 ap...

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department said in a filing Wednesday that Special Counsel Jack Smith has given Attorney General Merrick Garland the final report on his two investigations that led to felony criminal charges against President-elect Donald Trump. Garland plans to release a portion of the report. After Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily barred the release of the report on Trump's handling of secret documents, the Justice Department filed the lawsuit independently of Smith's office. The Florida judge, Cannon, sided with the claim that Smith's appointment was unlawful and dismissed the allegations against Trump. However, the Justice Department stated on Wednesday that there was "neither any need nor legal basis for an injunction" on the report's release beca...
