New York Times sues Hegseth over Pentagon press crackdown
WASHINGTON — The New York Times is suing the Department of Defense over the Pentagon’s new restrictions on press access.The lawsuit, set to be filed in federal court in Washington, DC, names the Defense Department, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the chief Pentagon spokesman, Sean Parnell, as defendants.The lawsuit seeks the repeal of a new policy, instituted in October, that prompted Pentagon beat reporters to turn in their press passes rather than sign onto the restrictions.“The policy is an attempt to exert control over reporting the government dislikes, in violation of a free press’ right to seek information under their First and Fifth Amendment rights protected by the Constitution,” Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander said.“The Times intends to vigorously defend...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth looks on as President Donald Trump speaks as  during a White House meeting.
Watchdog finds Hegseth risked endangering troops by sharing sensitive war plans on Signal
WASHINGTON — US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth risked compromising sensitive military information, which could have endangered American troops and mission objectives, when he used Signal in March of this year to share highly-sensitive attack plans targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to four sources familiar with the contents of a classified Inspector General report.The repercussions of Hegseth’s action, two sources told CNN, are less clear since the IG concluded that the defense secretary has the authority to declassify information and Hegseth asserted he made an operational decision in the moment to share that information, though there is no documentation of such a decision.An unclassified version of the report is set to be publicly released Thursday. The classified report...

Photos and video from Epstein’s private island released by House Democrats
WASHINGTON — House Democrats on the Oversight Committee on Wednesday released photos and videos from a private island in the Caribbean that Jeffrey Epstein once owned, shining new light on what was once the epicenter of the late convicted sex offender’s decades of abuse of young girls and women.The images and videos show several bedrooms, bathrooms and what appears to resemble a dentist’s chair in one room with masks on the wall, as well as a landline telephone with first names written on the speed dial buttons, including Darren, Rich, Mike, Patrick and Larry.Multiple videos capture the opulent grounds of a home resembling a luxury resort, featuring a swimming pool, palm trees and a winding path overlooking the ocean. One photo appears to capture a study featuring a blackboard:...

DNA evidence links woman’s murder to one of Colorado's most ‘prolific serial killers’ 40 years later
DENVER — For nearly 40 years, the identity of the person who sexually assaulted and killed a 30-year-old woman found along a quiet stretch of rural highway south of Denver eluded investigators. Now, small pieces of preserved evidence – a pair of paper bags placed over the victim’s hands – have provided the answer authorities had been searching for: a DNA match to one of Colorado’s “most prolific serial killers,” officials said Tuesday.“Obtaining a viable DNA profile from paper bags nearly four decades old is exceptionally rare and underscores the extraordinary value of meticulous evidence preservation,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.Rhonda Marie Fisher’s body was found on April 1, 1987 off a highway embankment near Sedalia, Colorado, the...

US cancels citizenship ceremonies for migrants from travel ban countries
WASHINGTON — The US has halted the processing of all immigration applications linked to 19 countries already subject to a travel ban, according to an internal official memo seen by CBS News.Immigration agents have been told to "stop final adjudication on all cases", and pause naturalisation ceremonies for migrants on the cusp of gaining citizenship.It comes amid reports that Donald Trump is considering expanding a June order restricting travel from 19 countries to 30.It is the latest tightening of immigration rules after last week's shooting in Washington DC, which left one National Guard soldier dead and another in a critical condition.The suspect is an Afghan national living in the US.On 4 June, the White House identified 19 countries - predominantly in Africa, the Middle East and...

Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in US as ICE plans Minnesota operation
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said he does not want Somali immigrants in the US, telling reporters they should "go back to where they came from" and "their country is no good for a reason"."I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you," he said during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Trump said the US would "go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country".His disparaging comments came as immigration authorities were reported to be planning an enforcement operation in Minnesota's large Somali community.Officials in the state have condemned the plan, arguing it could unfairly sweep up American citizens who may appear to be from the East African nation.Minneapolis and St Paul, which together are known as the Twin Cities, are home to one...

Trump and Hegseth insist they didn’t know of follow-up strike that killed survivors on suspected drug boat
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday sought to distance themselves from the decision to launch a follow-up strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean, insisting they weren’t aware of what the military had done after the first strike didn’t kill everyone on board.During a Cabinet meeting, Trump told reporters that he was not consulted ahead of time, and that even months after the strikes, he had not yet been fully briefed on the circumstances surrounding them.“I didn’t know about the second strike. I didn’t know anything about the people,” he said. “I wasn’t involved, and I knew they took out a boat, but I would say this, they had a strike.”Trump added that he was relying on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to keep him...

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has formally pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, telling reporters at the White House on Tuesday, “I feel pretty good about it.”Hernández’s attorney Renato Stabile and a White House official told CNN earlier Tuesday that Trump had pardoned the former Honduran president.
