http://youtu.be/irPCTmWxNmY Former President Donald Trump sued New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday in a bid to halt what he labeled a “witch hunt” targeting his family’s real estate company. The lawsuit, filed in Albany federal court, ​claims James’ two-year-long probe into the Trump Organization is politically motivated and asks a judge to put a stop to it. In the filing, Trump’s legal team claims that investigations launched by James’ office “are in no way connected to legitimate law enforcement goals, but rather, are merely a thinly-veiled effort to publicly malign Trump and his associates. “Her mission is guided solely by political animus and a desire to harass, intimidate, and retaliate against a private citizen who she views as a political opponent,” the document ad...

http://youtu.be/Zc4KQc6o_6M A Washington state lawmaker died Friday, weeks after he had announced he tested positive for COVID-19 while in Central America – though it wasn’t clear if the illness is what killed him. State Sen. Doug Ericksen, a Republican, had made headlines when he announced he was infected with COVID on a trip to El Salvador. He later asked his colleagues in a written letter for advice on how to get his hands on monoclonal antibodies, which weren’t available to him in the country. He was able to travel to Florida, where he was treated in a hospital. His location at the time of his death wasn’t immediately disclosed. “We are heartbroken to share that our husband and father passed away,” his family said in a statement to The Seattle Times. “Please keep our family in you...

http://youtu.be/hGvcOxG29Bs Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Sunday that traveling during the holidays presents an increased risk of COVID-19 given the Omicron variant “raging” around the globe. The White House chief medical adviser said people need to be “prudent” if they plan to travel over the season. “Clearly, when you travel, there is always a risk of increased infection. That just goes with respiratory illnesses,” Fauci told NBC anchor Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.” “But if people need to travel and want to travel for the obvious family reasons during this holiday season, if you’re vaccinated and you’re boosted and you take care when you go into congregate settings like airports to make sure you continually wear your mask, you should be OK.” Still, Fauci cautioned that with the new var...

http://youtu.be/Itw1noYeFEo A dozen or more teens were arrested in multiple states last week for alleged participation in a viral social media trend that stirred school shooting fears across the United States, according to reports and local police. The arrests on Thursday and Friday of male students in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin came after schools increased security in response to the rumors, which spread like wildfire after the Nov. 30 school shooting in Oxford Township, Michigan, Fox News reported.

http://youtu.be/zpPu_R0nV4s An Instacart driver in Minnesota ran over an elderly couple’s groceries after she delivered them and called police “racist pigs” on the receipt — because she saw a Blue Lives Matter flag in their driveway, police said. The residents said they placed an order from a local Cub Foods on Dec. 6 and requested delivery via the Instacart delivery service, the Blaine Police Department said in a statement. They stepped outside to meet the driver because they were worried the woman — identified as 36-year-old Tara Olivia Plum — might get stuck in their snowbound driveway, police said. But rather than thanking the couple, the purple-haired suspect yelled at them to check the Christmas wreath on their front door, where they discovered the offensive holiday message about...

Andrew Cuomo to pay the state $5.1 million in book profits he made on the backs of taxpayers amid the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extraordinary resolution was approved by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics in a 12-1 vote — a month after the ethics agency voted to revoke its prior approval allowing Cuomo to earn outside income from his book “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic” while he was still governor and New York was in the throes of the deadly coronavirus outbreak. #AndrewCuomo #COVID19 #CuomoBook The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more. ...

John Griffin, of Stamford, CT, allegedly used messaging apps to befriend and persuade moms of young girls, telling them “a woman is a woman regardless of her age,” and that he should be the one to “train” their daughters sexually, according to the indictment from the US Attorney of Vermont.

http://youtu.be/7pnH4b54U5c Prices spiked a whopping 6.8 percent in November, compared with the same time last year — the fastest acceleration of inflation the country has seen in 39 years, the feds announced Friday. It’s the highest year-over-year reading of the Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods and services as well as energy and food costs, since 1982, when the country saw surging inflation that sparked year-over-year spikes as high as more than 14 percent.

http://youtu.be/LyQLVBJ2Byo Nearly three years after he claimed two Trump-loving bigots beat him up, tied a noose around his neck and doused him in bleach, Jussie Smollett was convicted Thursday of staging a hate crime in a misbegotten bid to raise his public profile. Twelve jurors in Chicago criminal court found the disgraced actor guilty of five of six counts of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report following testimony from 13 witnesses and more than nine hours of deliberation. As the jurors read out the verdict, Smollett, 39, stood huddled with his attorneys and kept his eyes trained on the panelists, remaining stoic as a phalanx of family members, who watched the eight-day trial from the front row of the gallery, sat frozen. #JussieSmollett #Guilty #NewYorkPo...
