Former President Donald Trump praised recent reports that a lawyer who briefly acted as a legal adviser to Michael Cohen is expected to testify on Monday before a New York grand jury investigating whether to charge the former president over claims he paid hush money to an adult actress during his 2016 presidential campaign. “Just reported that the most important witness to go before the New York City grand jury, a highly respected lawyer who once represented convicted felon, jailbird, and serial fake storyteller and liar, Michael Cohen, will be doing so tomorrow afternoon,” Trump wrote in a March 19 post on…

Rishi Sunak has said he will let MPs make decisions “as individuals” about how to vote on any sanctions imposed on Boris Johnson by the privileges committee if they determine he has lied to parliament. The former prime minister has submitted a 50-page dossier laying out his defence to the committee, which will hold a televised hearing with him on Wednesday. The defence is expected to be published on Tuesday, after legal advisers and Commons officials were combing through the dossier “in the interests of making appropriate redactions to protect the identity of some witnesses”, a spokesperson for the committee said. Speaking on BBC…

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping were set to hold a second day of talks on Tuesday, as the internationally isolated Russian leader said he was open to discussing China’s proposals on the fighting in Ukraine and the US called on Xi to press him to “halt the war crimes”. Xi’s trip to Moscow has been viewed as a major boost for his strategic partner Putin, who is subject to an international criminal court warrant over accusations of unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children. The Chinese leader is expected to continue to position himself as a potential peacemaker in the Ukraine war during his two-day…

For her efforts to report injuries to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and to educate others in her hospital system on doing the same, Physician Assistant Deborah Conrad said she was labeled an anti-vaxxer and fired from her job. Today, the New York-based Conrad tells her story at medical freedom conferences throughout the country, the most recent being one in Mississippi where physicians, scientists, and the vaccine injured warned state lawmakers to pull the COVID-19 vaccines from the market. Conrad told The Epoch Times she began to see early danger signals in 2021 upon the vaccine rollout, and with that,…

Roy Hodgson has returned to Crystal Palace as manager until the end of the season after taking over from Patrick Vieira. Hodgson, who turns 76 in August, will extend his existing record as the Premier League’s oldest-ever manager after agreeing a deal along with longtime assistant Ray Lewington following meetings with chairman Steve Parish on Monday. “I would like to welcome Roy and Ray back to the club,” said a statement from Parish on Tuesday. “We are obviously in a very challenging period but we believe that Roy’s and Ray’s experience, knowledge of the club and players, alongside Paddy can help…

Our glorious leaders never admitted they were making a mistake even if people’s lives were at stake and their policies risked the collapse of the NHS. “Does he bring any value at all?” That was a question raised by the Health Secretary Matt Hancock during the pandemic and whilst the question is valid, the one posing the question is the one many of us may think should instead have been the subject. Sadly, while lockdown went on for too long (I’d say about two years too long) the outing of those taking what looked like masochistic pleasure in our incarceration was all…

Banking stocks on the FTSE 100 and oil and gas prices have tumbled after the historic state-backed rescue of troubled lender Credit Suisse by Swiss rival UBS Group. In a package orchestrated by Swiss regulators on Sunday, UBS Group will pay 3 billion Swiss francs (£2.7bn) for 167-year-old Credit Suisse and assume up to $5.4bn (£4.4bn) in losses. However, banking stocks across the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 plunged as much as 6.2pc after the open, following falls on Asian markets as Credit Suisse bondholders took a massive hit. The FTSE 100 has since recovered but banking stocks remain lower,…

The French government will face a no-confidence vote on Monday, as MPs said they feared for their safety, strike action intensified and police banned demonstrators from parts of central Paris after Emmanuel Macron’s decision to push through an unpopular rise in the pension age without a parliament vote. Opposition politicians have filed two no-confidence motions in protest at the government using controversial executive powers to raise the state pension age from 62 to 64. The French president decided last week that the government should use article 49.3 of the constitution to bypass parliament, because he feared it could not garner enough votes for the…

Ministers have given another contract extension to Avanti West Coast, saying the poorly performing rail operator had made improvements to services that were scaled back drastically in recent months, prompting chaos and a customer backlash. Mark Harper, the transport secretary, said that while he understood the frustrations of passengers who had faced a big reduction in intercity services and a ban on most advance ticket sales, he had extended the contract for a further six months to the end of October. Further improvements would need to be made by the operator if it was to continue to hold the contract, he…

Boris Johnson will not get a fair hearing from the cross-party privileges committee because some of the MPs on it seem to “have predetermined their view” on his guilt, an ally of the former prime minister has argued ahead of a week that could spell the end of Johnson’s parliamentary career. The Bournemouth West MP, Conor Burns, who served as a minister under Johnson, told BBC Radio 4’s Westminster Hour that Harriet Harman, the Labour MP who is chairing the Conservative-majority committee, had previously said she believed Johnson had misled the Commons. “I rate Harriet Harman highly, but she did tweet…
