Live: Trump arrives at Atlanta jail to surrender on charges he tried to overturn his 2020 election loss

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:47 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Donald Trump arrived Thursday at a jail in Atlanta to surrender on charges that he illegally schemed to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, a county jail booking expected to yield a historic first: a mug shot of a former American president.Trump’s surrender to law enforcement authorities has become by now a familiar election-season routine in a way that belies the unprecedented spectacle of a former president being booked, in four different cities, on felony criminal charges.But his visit to Atlanta is notably different than the three past surrenders, unfolding at night rather than requiring him to visit a problem-plagued jail — rather than a courthouse — and unfolding not in a liberal bastion like New York or Washington but rather in the heart of a battleground state vital to the 2024 presidential election. And unlike in other cities that did not require him to pose for a mug shot, Fulton County officials have said they expect to ta...

(CNN) — Trying to do “young stuff” has temporarily landed Kevin Hart in a wheelchair.That’s according to the movie star, who posted a video on his verified Instagram account in which the caption reads in part, “I got to be the dumbest man alive!!!!!”Using some expletives in both the caption and the video, Hart recounted how he tried to race his friend, former NFL player Stevan Ridley, in a 40-yard dash and ended up injuring himself.“Ladies and gentleman, the age 40 is real,” Hart said. “All my men, women out there 40 years old and above, it’s not a game. Respect that age.”He then announced that he was in a wheelchair for trying to do some “young man stuff.”Hart said he bet Ridley he could beat him in the sprint, but was humbled.“I tore my lower abdomen, my abductors are torn,” he revealed. “I don’t know what that is but I tore them. I tore those too. I can’t walk.”Hart, 44, also referred to himself as the “stupidest man alive” in answer to a question as to why he was ...

ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Donald Trump arrived Thursday at a jail in Atlanta to surrender on charges that he illegally schemed to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.The booking is expected to yield a historic first: a mug shot of a former American president.Trump and 18 others were indicted last week, accused of participating in a sprawling conspiracy to overturn his presidential election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. The Fulton County prosecution is the fourth criminal case against Trump since March, when he became the first former president in U.S. history to be indicted.Trump’s surrender, coming amid an abrupt shake-up of his legal team, follows the presidential debate in Milwaukee the night before featuring his leading rivals for the 2024 Republican nomination — a contest in which he remains the leading candidate despite accelerating legal troubles.His Atlanta appearance will be different from others, though, requiring him...

Wu to propose 4th South End shelter in Mass and Cass plan, and area leaders are not happy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:47 GMT

South End residents are saying enough is enough to the city’s response to the misery of Mass and Cass, and in particular a plan to add 30 shelter beds at a building under an overpass at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Albany Street.“It’s a Band-Aid. And the medicine is worse than the disease,” said new state Rep. John Moran, who represents much of the South End, including this troubled area, as well as Lower Roxbury, of the proposal.“It creates a fourth shelter in the south end, which we do not need. We’ve been promised to have decentralization here,” he said.Moran and Boston City Council President Ed Flynn met with the president and vice president of the Worcester Square Area Neighborhood Association at the corner of East Concord and Albany streets at 7 a.m. Thursday to survey and discuss a city plan to open a new shelter in the 700-block of Albany Street that Mayor Michelle Wu is scheduled to unveil at 10 a.m. Friday.It was still some 30 minutes until AHOPE — wh...

Fox News reaches 12.8 million viewers for GOP primary debate, despite Donald Trump’s absence

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:47 GMT

By DAVID BAUDER (AP Media Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — Even without lead contender Donald Trump, an estimated 12.8 million people watched the first Republican presidential primary debate on two Fox News television channels and its streaming service.There seemed little evidence that Trump’s attempt to counterprogram the debate, by appearing in an online interview with Tucker Carlson at about the same time on Wednesday, appreciably affected the number of people who were interested in checking out the eight alternatives.The viewership was a little more than half the 24 million people who watched Trump appear in his first presidential debate in August 2015, the Nielsen company said. But it outpaced a January 2016 GOP candidates debate on Fox that Trump also skipped and was seen by 12.5 million peopleTelevision is a vastly different world than it was eight years ago, with streaming more established and thousands of cable customers cutting the cord.
