The U.S. Chamber of Commerce hosted Michael Morell, former acting director of the CIA, at a major gathering for corporate executives on Monday, according to a copy of the agenda obtained by The Intercept. The invitation to Morell — who spoke at the Association Committee of 100 in conversation with a top Chamber executive — is another sign of the increasingly warm ties between the Chamber of Commerce and the network of Democratic-aligned opponents of Donald Trump that the former president maligns as the “deep state.”  Most Read Prigozhin and Putin: Dead Men Walking James Risen Kyrsten Sinema Moves to Slash Pilot Training After Taking Airline Cash ...

Trump heard in audio describing ‘highly confidential, secret’ documents

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:55:17 GMT

Former President Donald Trump can be heard in an audio recording apparently showing and discussing — “off the record,” he says — what he describes as “highly confidential, secret” documents with a writer and aides in 2021.“It is like highly confidential, secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this. You attack and….” Trump can be heard saying, before another person interrupts. The audio was first obtained by CNN, and has also been obtained by CBS News.The July 2021 recording of a meeting at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, was cited by special counsel Jack Smith in the indictment of Trump and an aide, Walt Nauta, on a combined 37 counts related to alleged mishandling of classified documents. Trump entered a not guilty plea to the charges on June 14, and Nauta is expected to plead not guilty at a hearing on Tuesday.It is not clear from the indictment if the documents referred to in the recording were recovered by investi...

Germany saw 2,480 antisemitic incidents in 2022, monitoring group says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:55:17 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — A group tracking antisemitism in Germany said Tuesday that it documented 2,480 incidents in the country last year — just under seven incidents per day on average.In its annual report, the Department for Research and Information on Anti-Semitism, or RIAS, said that while it registered a slight decrease in antisemitic incidents in 2022, compared to the year before, there were nine incidents of extreme violence — the highest number of such cases since nationwide record keeping began in 2017.Those extremely violent crimes include a shooting at a former rabbi’s house next to an old synagogue in the western city of Essen last November. Germany’s federal prosecutor is now investigating the case along with two other violent antisemitic crimes on suspicion that they may have been carried out in cooperation with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.More often, however, “it is everyday situations in which Jews are confronted with antisemitism,” Benjamin Steinitz, t...

ANÁLISIS | Biden está presionando a Putin incluso a pesar de que Estados Unidos niegue su papel en la insurrección de Rusia

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:55:17 GMT

(CNN) — La insurrección de corta duración de Rusia le entregó a Joe Biden la versión más peligrosa hasta el momento de un dilema que ha confundido a los últimos cinco presidentes de Estados Unidos: cómo manejar a Vladimir Putin.Todos los comandantes en jefe de Estados Unidos, desde Bill Clinton, han buscado de alguna manera involucrar al exoficial de la KGB, cuya misión de restaurar la grandeza rusa surgió por su humillación debida a la caída de la antigua Unión Soviética. La mayoría buscó algún tipo de reinicio de las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y Rusia. Pero todo fracasó en evitar el deterioro de los lazos entre las dos superpotencias nucleares.El expresidente George W. Bush miró a Putin a los ojos y tuvo “una sensación” de su alma, solo para que Putin invadiera Georgia bajo su supervisión. Barack Obama inicialmente vio al líder ruso como un socio en una campaña para poner fin a la amenaza del Armagedón nuclear. Eso no impidió que Putin anexara a Crimea en 2014. Y Donald...

(CNN) — El presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, y el jefe del grupo Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, rompieron su silencio luego de que la insurrección caótica y de corta duración del grupo paramilitar este fin de semana sumiera al país en la incertidumbre, en lo que el líder ruso describió como una traición al país.En un breve discurso a la nación este lunes, Putin dijo que los combatientes del grupo Wagner tomaron la “decisión correcta” al detener su avance, y agregó que “la rebelión armada habría sido reprimida de todos modos”.Esas fuerzas ahora tendrían la oportunidad de firmar un contrato con el Ministerio de Defensa de Rusia “u otras agencias de aplicación de la ley, o regresar con su familia y amigos”, dijo. Agregó que los combatientes también podrían optar por ir a Belarús, donde también se espera que vaya Prigozhin según un acuerdo aparentemente negociado por el presidente de Belarús, Alexander Lukashenko.Putin no mencionó a Prigozhin por su nombre, pero acusó a “los organi...
