The Justice Department has opened an investigation into whether E. Jean Carroll, the longtime advice columnist who has said President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in a Manhattan department store 30 years ago, lied during the course of civil litigation against the Republican president, according to a person familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

Also, a federal judge has declined to halt Trump\u2019s executive order, creating a federal voter list and limiting mail voting, clearing the way for potential sweeping changes in how American elections are run shortly before this year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest:<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s UN envoy calls US action against Venezuela, Iran and now Cuba `dangerous\u2019<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s U.N. ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani, told the U.N. Security Council on Thursday that the U.S. actions reflect a pattern \u201cof coercion, intimidation and interference\u201d which violates the U.N. Charter, threatens the countries\u2019 sovereignty and independence, and endangers international peace and security.<\/p>\n

U.S. forces arrested Venezuela\u2019s president and the Trump administration now oversees the country, and it\u2019s pressuring Cuba by blocking the delivery of oil.<\/p>\n

Iravani defended Iran\u2019s right to respond to the U.S. and Israeli attacks against Iran on Feb. 28 and to close the Strait of Hormuz, accusing unnamed countries of ignoring the root causes of the current situation in the region and unfairly shifting the blame to Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cIran\u2019s actions are lawful and consistent with international law,\u201d Iravani said. \u201cIran could not allow such a critical waterway to be used as a corridor for hostile action and military aggression against its sovereignty, territory and vital interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s DOJ sues 4 Democratic-run states over denying undercover license plates for federal agents<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest front in the wider struggle between the White House and Democratic-led states over the Republican president\u2019s immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice alleges in separate lawsuits filed Wednesday that Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington state are imposing unconstitutional restrictions it says impede law enforcement and threaten agents\u2019 safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy denying undercover license plates to DHS components, including ICE, while issuing them to their own state agencies, these governors are pursuing discriminatory and obstructionist policies against federal law enforcement,\u201d said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese actions undermine federal immigration enforcement, allow dangerous criminals to escape justice, and terrorize American communities,\u201d Blanche added.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department filed individual suits in U.S. district courts in the respective states. The four state governments are accused of trying \u201cto obstruct the Federal Government\u2019s immigration enforcement efforts, even though control over immigration and the nation\u2019s borders is an exclusive federal power.\u201d<\/p>\n

US boosts Ebola response aid to Congo and Uganda by $80M<\/p>\n

The Trump administration says it\u2019s boosting its Ebola response assistance to Congo and Uganda by $80 million, bringing the U.S. contribution to those efforts to more than $112 million over the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

The State Department said Thursday the additional money would pay for personal protective equipment for health care workers, Ebola test kits, supporting health screening at airports and other points of entry into Central and East Africa, and contact tracing of potential virus victims in the Congo and Uganda.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has been criticized for massive reductions in assistance since Trump began his second term, including dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development. But current officials say the new aid procedures are more effective and less costly.<\/p>\n

In addition to the bilateral assistance it has pledged, the State Department said it also committed $50 million to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to fund up to 50 Ebola clinics and has earmarked $300 million through the agency for regional humanitarian initiatives.<\/p>\n

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she won\u2019t run for president in 2028<\/p>\n

She put to rest speculation about a potential 2028 presidential bid, saying Thursday that she won\u2019t join what\u2019s expected to be a crowded primary field after leaving office at the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Whitmer has long been viewed by some Democrats as a possible White House contender after her decisive election victories in the closely contested state Trump has carried twice in presidential votes. For months, however, Whitmer had offered only cautious answers about her political future.<\/p>\n

But she delivered her clearest response yet in an interview Thursday with Fox 2 Detroit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there will be a robust group of people running for president. I will not be one of them in 2028,\u201d Whitmer said.<\/p>\n

Her comments came during Michigan\u2019s annual Mackinac policy conference, where Whitmer is set to be honored and deliver remarks later Thursday.<\/p>\n

Justice Department scrutinizing statement Carroll made that no one else was paying her legal fees<\/p>\n

It later became public that a Chicago-based organization backed by Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, had helped fund Carroll\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s lawyers in the civil case accused Carroll of concealing that information, which they said called into question whether the case was politically motivated.<\/p>\n

Oil prices climb, but US stocks hold near their records<\/p>\n

Oil prices are clawing back some of their sharp drops from earlier in the week Thursday, but U.S. stocks are remaining near their records as companies like Dollar Tree, Snowflake and Hormel Foods keep piling up profits.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 edged down by 0.1% from its all-time high set the day before. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 219 points, or 0.4%, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.2% lower after both indexes also set records the day before.<\/p>\n

Stocks appear to be less beholden to swings in the oil market, where prices climbed Thursday following the latest threat to the ceasefire in the United States\u2019 war with Iran. U.S. Central Command said Kuwait had intercepted missiles launched by Iran late Wednesday night, following earlier \u201cdefensive\u201d strikes by the U.S. military on missile launch sites and minelaying boats in southern Iran.<\/p>\n

Trump says he\u2019s been invited to watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals<\/p>\n

Trump told reporters Wednesday that New York Knicks owner James Dolan has invited him to the NBA Finals, when the Eastern Conference champion Knicks host either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the San Antonio Spurs next month at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

New York, which is riding an 11-game postseason winning streak after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the conference finals, is scheduled to host Game 3 on June 8 and Game 4 on June 10.<\/p>\n

Trump, a New York native, said he initially planned to attend Game 5 of the conference finals at MSG before the Knicks finished off the Cavaliers in four games. The president called Dolan a \u201cgreat guy\u201d and marveled at New York\u2019s run.<\/p>\n

Trump called the club\u2019s return to the finals for the first time since 1999 \u201cgreat to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has routinely dropped in on prominent sporting events during his time in politics. He\u2019s taken in the College Football Playoff championship and caught a prime-time NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets just days before the 2024 election.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy says he\u2019s pressing US for more Patriot missiles for Ukraine to counter Russian strikes<\/p>\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that he\u2019s being \u201cvery persistent\u201d in pressing the United States to provide his country with more Patriot air defense missiles that can counter devastating Russian ballistic missile attacks.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said he hasn\u2019t yet received a reply to a letter he sent earlier this week to President Trump and Congress asking for more of the American-made ammunition. He warned that deliveries to Ukraine are falling dangerously short as the Iran war diverts and depletes U.S. stocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe (the U.S.) must act quicker. We are being very persistent,\u201d Zelenskyy told reporters during a visit to Sweden.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy is keen to secure more deliveries of foreign weaponry that it can\u2019t produce itself as it battles Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion, which began on Feb. 24, 2022. In exchange, he\u2019s offering to share the cutting-edge drone expertise Ukraine has built up during the war.<\/p>\n

Carroll has said a flirtatious, chance encounter with Trump in 1996 ended violently<\/p>\n

She said Trump slammed her against a dressing room wall at Bergdorf Goodman\u2019s Fifth Avenue store, pulled down her tights and forced himself on her. Trump has called the allegations a \u201cmade-up scam.\u201d<\/p>\n

A jury in 2023 found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll, awarding her $5 million. The following year, another jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in a defamation case related to Trump\u2019s social media attacks on her.<\/p>\n

A court entry earlier this month said Trump won\u2019t have to pay the award until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to a request by one of Trump\u2019s lawyers that it let the president delay the payment to Carroll, though it required that he post a $7.4 million bond to cover any additional interest costs, a request Carroll\u2019s attorney had made.<\/p>\n

Justice Department opens investigation into E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of assault: AP source<\/p>\n

The Justice Department has opened an investigation into whether E. Jean Carroll, the longtime advice columnist who\u2019s said Trump sexually assaulted her in a Manhattan department store 30 years ago, lied during the course of civil litigation against the Republican president, according to a person familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

The person who confirmed the existence of the investigation wasn\u2019t authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing inquiry and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The perjury investigation is being led by the federal prosecutors\u2019 office in Chicago, and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has had no involvement because of his prior work as Trump\u2019s personal attorney, the person said.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Carroll did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest in a series of investigations the Trump administration Justice Department has opened into perceived adversaries of the president.<\/p>\n

Key inflation gauge worsens as Americans shell out more for gasoline<\/p>\n

Inflation jumped to 3.8% in April compared with a year ago, the Commerce Department said Thursday, up from 3.5% in March and the highest since May 2023. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.4%, down from the 0.7% jump in March.<\/p>\n

The report showed prices have risen for many items in addition to gas, indicating inflation could persist and pose problems for congressional Republicans in this year\u2019s midterm elections. Inflation is also notably above the Federal Reserve\u2019s target of 2%, which means Fed policymakers may decide to forego any cuts to their key short-term interest rate this year. Some officials have signaled their next move could be a hike rather than a cut.<\/p>\n

Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core inflation rose to 3.3% in April from 3.2% the previous month. It\u2019s the highest core figure since November 2023. One positive sign in the report: Core prices rose just 0.2% in April from March.<\/p>\n

The Minneapolis immigration crackdown ended months ago. For these little kids, trauma remains<\/p>\n

The little girl approached the therapy dog outside the school library, reaching out to touch her fluffy blond coat. Social worker Nicole Herje leaned in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow does it feel when you pet Sage?\u201d Herje said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like it,\u201d the girl said. \u201cIn Ecuador, I had a dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few months earlier, this girl and many of her classmates at Valley View Elementary were staying off the streets to avoid the immigration officers flooding their suburban Minneapolis community. Attendance plummeted as families kept their kids from school during the Trump administration\u2019s enforcement surge.<\/p>\n

Sage the goldendoodle is not just a cute diversion. She\u2019s part of a broader strategy to address the psychological wounds of children who witnessed arrests, lost relatives to deportation or endured anxious weeks indoors.<\/p>\n

Immigration officers made more than 4,000 arrests and shot multiple people, two fatally, before \u201cOperation Metro Surge\u201d wound down in February, leaving an imprint on the psyches of young children that could haunt them for years, mental health providers say.<\/p>\n

Republicans\u2019 recent stumbles in Congress highlight the difficult road ahead for their agenda<\/p>\n

A roughly $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement through the remainder of President Trump\u2019s term was supposed to be an easy lift for Republicans.<\/p>\n

But progress stalled over concerns about the inclusion of White House ballroom security funding in the package and the creation of a $1.8 billion fund to finance claims of government mistreatment. The stumble hasn\u2019t only delayed action on a top GOP priority but also is raising questions about other parts of the party\u2019s legislative agenda, including whether Republicans can enact another catchall, party-line bill referred to in Washington parlance as \u201cReconciliation 3.0.\u201d<\/p>\n

Republicans have spent recent weeks laying the groundwork for such a bill, which they hope will serve as a final sales pitch to voters going into the midterms.<\/p>\n

Federal judge refuses to block Trump order to create federal voter list and limit mail voting<\/p>\n

A federal judge has declined to halt Trump\u2019s executive order, creating a federal voter list and limiting mail voting, clearing the way for potential sweeping changes in how American elections are run shortly before this year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols in Washington, D.C., a Trump appointee, late Wednesday rejected the request by Democrats and civil rights groups who had argued that Trump\u2019s order would likely be found unconstitutional because the states and Congress, not the president, have the power to set election rules. Nichols agreed with the Trump administration\u2019s contention it was too early to issue the order because it has yet to be implemented.<\/p>\n

The legal battle against the provision now shifts to Boston, where voting rights groups have a separate lawsuit against the executive order in federal court.<\/p>\n

US military says Iran fired missiles at Kuwait in the latest challenge to the fragile ceasefire<\/p>\n

The U.S. military said that Kuwait had intercepted missiles launched by Iran late Wednesday night, calling the Iranian attack on one of the U.S. top allies in the Persian Gulf an \u201cegregious ceasefire violation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The attack on Kuwait was the latest flare-up to shake the fragile ceasefire reached last month between the U.S. and Iran.<\/p>\n

Kuwait had earlier announced an attack on its territory, and Iran announced it had retaliated after strikes earlier in the week on a U.S. base in a Gulf state it did not name.<\/p>\n

The Iranian strike came after, earlier in the week, the U.S. said it had struck Iranian missile launch sites, minelaying boats and attack drones it said posed threats near the blockaded Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

US military strikes another alleged drug boat in the eastern Pacific, killing 2<\/p>\n

The U.S. military on Wednesday struck another vessel suspected of transporting drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two men.<\/p>\n

U.S. Southern Command posted video on social media showing a boat resting on the water before being struck by an explosion. The last few seconds of the video show smoke and fire rising from the boat.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, U.S. forces had launched a strike on an alleged drug vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing one man and leaving two survivors. Southern Command said it \u201cimmediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Trump administration\u2019s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters, including the eastern Pacific and the Caribbean Sea, has gone on since early September and killed at least 196 people in total. The military has not provided evidence that any of the vessels were carrying drugs.<\/p>\n

AP Exclusive: Trump administration tells prosecutors to stand down on Venezuela leader, sources say<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has quietly instructed federal prosecutors in Miami to avoid pursuing criminal investigations into Venezuela\u2019s acting President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, a longtime target of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, according to current and former U.S. law enforcement officials, in the latest sign of warming relations between the White House and the oil-rich nation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether prosecutors had implicated Rodr\u00edguez in any crimes or whether investigators were moving toward an indictment. A Justice Department spokesperson said in an email, \u201cThere was never an investigation into her to shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n

But DEA records obtained by The Associated Press earlier this year show she consistently surfaced on the radar of federal law enforcement dating to at least 2018, though she has never been criminally charged in the U.S. like several other senior Venezuelan officials.<\/p>\n

The directive to pause scrutiny into Rodr\u00edguez was meant to avoid upsetting the administration\u2019s efforts to stabilize Venezuela after the capture of her predecessor, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, among other reasons, the official said. It was not clear whether the White House, which deferred comment to the Justice Department, was involved in the decision.<\/p>\n

World shares decline and oil prices gain more than $2 after US strikes on Iran<\/p>\n

World shares declined Thursday following more of what the U.S. military said were defensive strikes against Iran.<\/p>\n

Oil prices gained more than $2 a barrel after having dropped sharply a day before.<\/p>\n

In early European trading, Germany\u2019s DAX was nearly unchanged at 25,175.63 and the CAC 40 in Paris lost 0.4% to 8,172.84. Britain\u2019s FTSE 100 slumped 0.9% to 10,416.62.<\/p>\n

The futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged 0.1% lower.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, U.S. stocks inched to more records after oil prices declined more than 4%, easing pressure on consumers and businesses worldwide.<\/p>\n

US military conducts another strike against Iran after Trump says Iran is \u2018negotiating on fumes\u2019<\/p>\n

U.S. forces carried out new defensive strikes on Iran on Wednesday after Trump asserted that Iran is \u201cnegotiating on fumes\u201d and insisted that November\u2019s midterm elections in the United States won\u2019t make him rush into a deal to end the nearly three-month-old conflict.<\/p>\n

U.S. Central Command forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. officials who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

The U.S. military also struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone, the officials said.<\/p>\n

Details about the strikes emerged after Trump, at a Cabinet meeting earlier Wednesday, expressed confidence that his administration was making headway on settling the war, even though the talks still remain very much in flux.<\/p>\n
