Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:34 GMT

By Eric Tucker | Associated PressWASHINGTON — An investigation into the origins of the FBI’s probe into ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign has finally been concluded, with the prosecutor leading the inquiry submitting a much-awaited report that found major flaws.The report, the culmination of a four-year investigation into possible misconduct by U.S. government officials, contained withering criticism for the FBI but few significant revelations. Nonetheless, it will give fodder to Trump supporters who have long denounced the Russia investigation, as well as Trump opponents who say the Durham team’s meager court record shows their probe was a politically motivated farce.A look at the investigation and the report:WHO IS JOHN DURHAM?Durham has spent decades as a Justice Department prosecutor, with past assignments including investigations into the FBI’s cozy relationship with mobsters in Boston and the CIA’s destruction of vi...

SF supervisors call Banko Brown death an 'execution'

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:34 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The San Francisco District Attorney's Office released video on Monday that showed the moments leading up to the shooting death of Banko Brown. Brown, a 24-year-old transgender Black man, was shot by a Walgreens security guard after shoplifting from the store, according to the DA. Brown's death has become a high-profile case, magnified after DA Brooke Jenkins opted not to charge the security guard, 33-year-old Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, who was arrested after the killing. Surveillance video released of Banko Brown homicide In a press conference Monday, Jenkins said Anthony will not be prosecuted because he believed his life was in imminent danger before the shooting. Brown was unarmed when he was killed, but he made a “sudden movement” before he was shot, according to Jenkins. Banko BrownSince the video was released, several people and organizations have released public reactions. Two San Francisco supervisors, Shamann Walton and Dean Preston, referred to ...

(KRON) -- A man accused of molesting a child in San Jose died in his jail cell over the weekend, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. The 74-year-old man was alone in his cell when deputies found him unresponsive at 2:05 p.m. Saturday. Deputies assigned to the Santa Clara County Mail Jail performed CPR on the inmate. He was declared dead at 2:55 p.m."Preliminary information shows no evidence of foul play or suspicious circumstances leading to the death," Sgt. Russell Davis wrote.

San Francisco DA releases video of Walgreens security guard fatally shooting alleged shoplifter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:34 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco’s district attorney Monday released surveillance video showing the fatal shooting of a suspected shoplifter by an on-duty Walgreens security guard, along with other footage and documents that she said support her decision not to file charges against the guard.District Attorney Brooke Jenkins released the information amid public outcry over the April 27 death of Banko Brown, a 24-year-old who was not armed, outside a downtown Walgreens. Last week, the Board of Supervisors approved a resolution urging her office and the police department to release more evidence. She cited self-defense in her decision not to charge the guard, Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony. But the release of surveillance video did not appear to quell critics in a city dogged by brazen shoplifting and wide division over the appropriate responses to crime, particularly when the suspect is homeless or impoverished.The footage, which does not have sound, shows Brown heading for the do...

Ja Morant in limbo again as he awaits review of latest gun video on social media

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:34 GMT

Ja Morant still had his endorsement deals Monday. While his latest gun video on social media is costing him plenty in public relations currency, he hasn’t lost any money.Any, or all, of that could change any day. Once again, Morant is in limbo — awaiting the outcome of yet another NBA investigation into what could end up becoming a cataclysmic off-court decision.“This is going to be a hot question,” Syracuse professor of sport management Rick Burton said Monday. “I don’t think they can hit pause on this. I think that there will be too much demand for, ‘What are you going to do?’”The NBA already suspended the two-time All-Star guard eight games in March for livestreaming himself holding an apparent handgun in Colorado. That cost him about $669,000 in salary. How Morant’s sponsors react to him being caught on social media apparently holding a weapon for the second time in less than three months is another issue. Morant has endorsement deals with Nike and the sports drink Powerad...

¿”El crimen del siglo”? Fiscal concluye pesquisa de cuatro años sobre el FBI y campaña de Donald Trump

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:44:34 GMT

WASHINGTON — Un fiscal especial concluyó su investigación de cuatro años sobre el posible mal manejo del FBI en su indagación a presuntos vínculos entre la campaña de Donald Trump en 2016 y el gobierno ruso, lanzando duras críticas a la agencia de seguridad pero muy lejos de las predicciones del expresidente de que se destaparía “el crimen del siglo”.El reporte el lunes del fiscal especial John Durham es la conclusión largamente esperada de una averiguación que según Trump y sus aliados iba a exponer una ilegalidad masiva por parte de las agencias policiales y de inteligencia. En lugar de ello, la investigación de Durham arrojó resultados decepcionantes. Los fiscales lograron que un empleado del FBI poco conocido se declarara culpable, pero perdieron los únicos dos casos penales que pudieron llevar a juicio.El informe de aproximadamente 300 páginas cataloga lo que Durham considera que fueron una serie de pasos en falso del FBI y el Departamento de Justicia cuando los investigadores ...
