Trump dijo una vez que un presidente acusado de un delito grave paralizaría el gobierno y crearía una crisis constitucional

(CNN) — El expresidente de Estados Unidos Donald Trump dijo en 2016 que un presidente acusado “paralizaría las operaciones de nuestro gobierno” y crearía una “crisis constitucional sin precedentes”, años antes de que él mismo fuera acusado de cargos federales mientras aspiraba a un segundo mandato como presidente.Trump hizo los comentarios hace casi siete años sobre Hillary Clinton durante la campaña presidencial de 2016.“Podríamos muy bien tener a un presidente en ejercicio bajo acusación de delito grave y, en última instancia, un juicio penal”, dijo Trump durante un mitin de campaña el 5 de noviembre de 2016 en Reno, Nevada, reseñado por KFile de CNN. “Paralizaría el gobierno”.Apenas unos días antes, el 28 de octubre, el entonces director del FBI, James Comey, anunció públicamente que habían reabierto la investigación sobre el manejo de Clinton de información clasificada relacionada con su uso de un servidor privado de correo e...

Fundraising for French cop who killed teen reaches €1M

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:42:06 GMT

PARIS — A controversial fundraising campaign to help the family of the policeman who killed teenager Nahel M. in France has topped €1 million. The campaign was launched on popular U.S. platform GoFundMe by a French far-right figure and on Monday reached the €1 million mark — nearly five times more than a fundraising effort to help the 17-year-old’s mother. Despite the controversy, GoFundMe said it wouldn’t take the campaign down. On Monday, French ministers invited on radio and TV shows painstakingly tried to avoid taking a stance on the subject. “Everyone can express their feelings and contribute to a fund … But I think, in this case, that it doesn’t go in the direction of appeasement,” Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti told France Inter. The killing of the 17-year-old of North African descent by a police officer last week has thrown France into chaos, sparking violent demonstrations across the country and re-igniting long-simmering tensi...

Tyson will stop using its ‘no antibiotics ever’ label on chicken

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:42:06 GMT

New York (CNN) — Tyson will once again use certain antibiotics in its chickens, eight years after it announced plans to ditch the drugs in some of its production and slapped a “no antibiotics ever” label on its packaging.The company said the antibiotics it plans to use in chicken production are not important to the treatment of humans. Antibiotic use in food has come under intense scrutiny in recent years as some bacteria have become increasingly resistant to treatments as a result of frequent exposure to antibiotics. The Wall Street Journal first reported Tyson’s change.About half of US poultry farmers use some form of antibiotics to help keep chickens healthy, the company noted. In many chicken farms, animals are raised in crowded and unsanitary conditions and can be prone to disease.“At Tyson Foods, we base our decisions on sound science and an evolving understanding of the best practices impacting our customers, consumers and the animals in our care,” a ...

Reuters reported, citing Novak’s office, that Russia would reduce production by that amount, deepening a cut of the same size Moscow implemented in March.The announcements sent prices for Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, up 0.7% to trade at $76 a barrel at 7.15 a.m. ET. WTI, the US benchmark, rose 0.8% to $71. Oil prices have fallen by more ...

Thai opposition party struggles to take power after stunning election victory

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:42:06 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s new Parliament convened Monday nearly two months after a progressive opposition party won a stunning election victory, but there was still no clear sign that its leader will be able to become prime minister and end nine years of military-dominated rule.To form a government, a party must have the backing of a combined majority of the elected House of Representatives and the military-appointed Senate, which represents the country’s traditional conservative ruling class.The Move Forward Party’s unexpected election victory alarmed the ruling establishment, which regards it as a threat to the status quo and the monarchy. Some senators have already announced their opposition to party leader Pita Limjaroenrat, a 42-year-old Harvard-educated businessman.Pita has formed an eight-party coalition holding 312 seats in the 500-seat lower house, which leaves it short of an overall majority without the support of a significant number of the 250 senators....
