Prosecutor says Trump tried ‘to hoodwink voters’ while defense attacks key witness in last arguments

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump engaged in a conspiracy “to hoodwink voters” in 2016, a prosecutor told jurors Tuesday during closing arguments in the former president’s hush money trial, while a defense lawyer branded the star witness as the “greatest liar of all time” and pressed the panel for an across-the-board acquittal.

The lawyers’ dueling accounts, wildly divergent in their assessments of witness credibility, Trump’s culpability and the strength of evidence, offered both sides one final chance to score points with the jury before it starts deliberating the first felony case against a former American president.

Responding to calls from congressional Democrats, Justice Samuel Alito is flatly rejecting calls to recuse himself in two cases before the Supreme Court involving former President Donald Trump because of two flags that flew outside his homes.

In letters Wednesday to House and Senate Democrats, Alito said he had nothing to do with the flying of the flags, and that nothing about the incidents merited recusal under the Supreme Court's code of conduct. In addition, he says, neither he nor his wife knew of the meanings that are now being ascribed to the...

The $320 million structure lasted roughly a week before choppy weather battered it apart. President Biden's administration says it is working to repair the pier, but they offered no timeline for completion. The pier had been used as a conduit for delivering aid to Gaza.

The images show that less than a third of the pier remains intact, and there is no sign of the remnants of the deeper sections...

FIRST ON FOX: Bicameral lawmakers are highlighting the Biden administration's failure to adequately study the environmental impact of the abortion pill, particularly amid the rise in at-home medication abortions.

"The full impact of mifepristone has never been sufficiently studied," Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., wrote in a letter to Michael Regan, President Biden's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator.
