Trump, in his first post-trial rally, demands that appeals courts reverse his felony conviction

PHOENIX (AP) — Donald Trump returned to the campaign trail Thursday with a trip to Arizona, his first appearance in a battleground state since he was convicted in a hush money scandal, repeating his critiques of the case against him as politically motivated and calling for his conviction to be overturned on appeal.

“Those appellate courts have to step up and straighten things out or we’re not going to have a country anymore,” Trump said at a Phoenix town hall organized by Turning Point, a conservative youth organization that has seen its influence rise alongside Trump’s takeover of the GOP. ...

Conservative British PM faces backlash after skipping D-Day event and going on TV

British Prime Minister Rish Sunak apologized Friday after he left D-Day commemorations in Normandy, France, early and went on TV for an interview.

The move sparked backlash at home and appeared to be yet another setback for Sunak's Conservative Party, which is down in opinion polls against Keir Starmer's Labour Party.

"On reflection, it was a mistake not to stay longer, and I've apologized for that, but I also don't think it's right to be political in the midst of D-Day commemorations," Sunak told reporters. "The focus should rightly be on the veterans."

Starmer remained in Normandy for the duration of events that commemorated the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, which Britain's King Charles and President Biden attended. The Labour leader was seen talking to several world leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

President Biden on Friday repeatedly referenced an "instinct" to "walk away" from democracy during a speech in Normandy about the heroics of the Army Rangers who scaled Pointe du Hoc more than 80 years ago on D-Day.

"We talk about democracy, American democracy. We often talk about the ideals of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. What we don't talk about is how hard it is, how many ways we're asked to walk away, how many instincts there are to walk away," Biden said. "The most natural instinct is to walk away."

Lawyers for Hunter Biden called his daughter Naomi to the witness stand on Friday as they sought to challenge the government’s argument that he had lied about his drug use on a federal firearms application in 2018.

It is part of the defense’s broader effort to undercut the contemporaneous text messages, bank records as well as Mr. Biden’s own words that prosecutors have introduced in an effort to show that his spiral into an unrelenting addiction to crack cocaine extended to the months and weeks before and after he bought the gun.

But that strategy...

Trump’s vice president was repeatedly applauded as he offered a vigorous affirmation of his support for Israel at a conference of mostly conservative Jewish leaders in midtown Manhattan.

He barely paused when his questioner, Zvika Klein, the editor in chief of The Jerusalem Post, asked Mr. Pence, an evangelical Christian, to lead the room in prayer for the Israeli hostages captured by Hamas on Oct. 7. “It would be my great honor: Let...
