FBI finds large explosive cache on a Virginia farm
WASHINGTON — The FBI says it has discovered more than 150 bombs during a raid on a farm in Virginia – thought to be the largest such cache seized by the law-enforcement agency in its history.Brad Spafford was arrested on 17 December in Isle of Wight County, 180 miles (290km) south of Washington DC, after a tip-off that he was stockpiling weapons and homemade ammunition on the property he shares with his wife and two young children.Investigators say some of the devices were found in a bedroom in an unsecured backpack labeled "#nolivesmatter" — an apparent reference to a far-right, anti-government movement.A lawyer for Spafford denied he is a danger to the community and is seeking his client's release from pre-trial detention.The suspect has so far only been charged with...

WASHINGTON — A South Korean man accused of being responsible for a cryptocurrency crisis which cost investors $40bn (£31.8bn) has finally been extradited to the United States.Do Kwon was the boss of Terraform, which operated two cryptocurrencies — TerraUSD and Luna — both of which collapsed in 2022, sparking a wider sell-off in the crypto market.The US says he was responsible for the coins' failure, accusing him of "orchestrating a multi-billion dollar crypto asset securities fraud".Kwon fled South Korea after a warrant for his arrest was issued, eventually ending up in Montenegro where he has now been extradited from, following a lengthy legal battle.He was previously found guilty of forging documents by a Montenegro court, having been arrested as he was attempting to...

Donald Trump at Mar a Lago
US appeals court upholds sexual abuse verdict against Trump
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court upheld the jury’s verdict finding Donald Trump sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll and denied his request for a new trial.Trump challenged the $5 million civil verdict alleging the trial judge made numerous errors, including allowing testimony of two other women who claimed Trump sexually assaulted them.The appeals court concluded the trial judge didn’t abuse his discretion in ruling on evidence. Even if he made any errors, they said, given the strength of Carroll’s case, they are not persuaded Trump’s rights were affected to warrant a new trial.“Both E. Jean Carroll and I are gratified by today’s decision. We thank the Second Circuit for its careful consideration of the parties’ arguments,” said Roberta Kaplan, Carroll’s...
