APNEWS.COMJudge rules against lawmakers pressing for monitor to ensure release of Epstein filesDocuments that were included in the U.S. Department of Justice release of the Jeffrey Epstein files are photographed Friday, Jan. 2, 2026. (AP Photo/Jon Elswick)2026-01-21T17:07:24Z NEW YORK (AP) A judge overseeing Ghislaine Maxwells criminal case said Wednesday that two members of Congress lacked the legal right to intervene and press their demand for a court-appointed observer to ensure the government complies with a new law ordering release of its files on Jeffrey Epstein.But the lawmakers are free to bring a civil lawsuit or work through the tools they have in Congress to improve oversight, U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer ruled.U.S. Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky., had co-sponsored the Epstein Files Transparency Act that was signed into law by President Donald Trump in November. It required the public disclosure of files related to the sex trafficking investigations into Epstein, the late financier, and Maxwell, his longtime confidant. Engelmayer largely agreed with the Justice Departments insistence that he had no authority to grant the congressmens request to speed the release of that material. They had urged Engelmayer to name an independent monitor to ensure that the government immediately released the more than 2 million documents it has identified as investigative materials. Khanna and Massie said the slow disclosure of the documents violated the law and had caused serious trauma to survivors. A month after the deadline had passed for the materials to be made public, only about 12,000 documents have been made public. The department has said the release of the files was delayed by redactions required to protect the identities of those who were abused. Engelmayer said the questions raised by Khanna and Massie raised about whether the department was complying with the law were undeniably important and timely. But, he said, the way in which the members of Congress were trying to intervene was not permitted. Stay up to date with the news and the best of AP by following our WhatsApp channel. Follow on The judge, who inherited Maxwells case after the trial judge was appointed to an appeals court, ruled that has no authority to supervise the departments compliance with the new law, and that Massie and Khanna have no standing, or legal right, to insinuate themselves into Maxwells case. Engelmayer said he has received letters and emails from Epstein abuse survivors in support of the lawmakers request for appointment of a neutral overseer. These express concern that DOJ otherwise will not comply with the Act, wrote the judge, who was nominated by Democratic President Barack Obama.The department has been paying lip service to the victims and failing to treat us with the solicitude we deserve, survivors wrote, according to Engelmayer.Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after her December 2021 sex trafficking conviction. She recently petitioned the federal court for her release, maintaining that new information has emerged that warrants her release. A jury found that she had helped to recruit girls for Epstein to abuse over the past quarter-century and had also participated in some of the abuse.Epstein died in a federal jail in New York in August 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. The death was ruled a suicide. MICHAEL R. SISAK Sisak is an Associated Press reporter covering law enforcement, courts and prisons.

APNEWS.COMSupreme Court seems inclined to keep Lisa Cook on Fed board despite Trump attempt to fire herFederal Reserve governor Lisa Cook and attorney Abbe Lowell, arrive at the Supreme Court in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)2026-01-21T17:04:45Z WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed inclined to keep Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook in her job, casting doubt on President Donald Trumps bid to wrest control of the nations central bank.The justices heard arguments over Trumps effort to fire Cook based on allegations she committed mortgage fraud, which she denies. No president has fired a sitting governor in the 112-year history of the Fed, which was structured to be independent of day-to-day politics.Allowing Cooks firing to go forward would weaken, if not shatter, the independence of the Federal Reserve, said Justice Brett Kavanaugh, one of three Trump appointees on the nations highest court.At least five other justices on the nine-member court also sounded skeptical about the effort to remove her from office.Both Cook and Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell sat through nearly two hours of arguments in the packed courtroom. For as long as I serve at the Federal Reserve, I will uphold the principle of political independence in service to the American people, Cook said in a statement issued after the arguments. The true motivation for trying to fire Cook, Trumps critics say, is the Republican presidents desire to exert control over U.S. interest rate policy. If Trump succeeds in removing Cook, the first Black woman Federal Reserve governor, he could replace her with his own appointee and gain a majority on the Feds board. The case is being closely watched by Wall Street investors and could have broad impacts on the financial markets and U.S. economy. Trump has been dismissive of worries that cutting rates too quickly could trigger higher inflation. He wants dramatic reductions so the government can borrow more cheaply and Americans can pay lower borrowing costs for new homes, cars or other large purchases, as worries about high costs have soured some voters on his economic management. During a speech earlier Wednesday in Davos, Switzerland, Trump reiterated his call for the Fed to sharply lower rates, arguing that the United States should pay the lowest interest rate of any country in the world.The board cut a key interest rate three times in a row in the last four months of 2025, but thats more slowly than Trump wants. The Fed also suggested it may leave rates unchanged in coming months over inflation worries.The issue before the court is whether Cook can stay on the job while her challenge to the firing plays out in court. Judges on lower courts have allowed her to remain in her post as one of seven central bank governors. The justices could simply deny the emergency appeal Trump is seeking and allow the case to continue playing out in lower courts. Chief Justice John Roberts, who also seemed skeptical of Trumps actions, suggested it may be pointless to return the case to lower courts rather than issue a more enduring ruling. With Cooks case under review at the high court, Trump dramatically escalated his confrontation with the Fed. The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation of Powell and has served the central bank with subpoenas. Powell himself took the rare step of responding to Trump, calling the threat of criminal charges pretexts that mask the real reason, Trumps frustration over interest rates. The Justice Department has said the dispute is ostensibly about Powells testimony to Congress in June over the cost of a massive renovation of Fed buildings. In Trumps first year in office, the justices generally, but not always, went along with Trumps pleas for emergency action to counteract lower-court rulings against him, including allowing the firings of the heads of other governmental agencies at the presidents discretion, with no claim that they did anything wrong.But the court has sent signals that it is approaching the independence of the nations central bank more cautiously, calling the Fed a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity. In Cooks case, Trump is not asserting that he can fire Fed governors at will, Solicitor General D. John Sauer said. Cook is one of several people, along with Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California, who have been accused of mortgage fraud by federal housing official Bill Pulte. They have denied the allegations against them. The case against Cook stems from allegations she claimed two properties, in Michigan and Georgia, as primary residences in June and July 2021, before she joined the Fed board. Such claims can lead to a lower mortgage rate and smaller down payment than if one of them was declared as a rental property or second home. Those applications, Sauer said, are evidence of gross negligence at best and give Trump reason to fire her. In any event, he argued, courts shouldnt be reviewing his decision and Cook has no right to a hearing. Cook has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime. There is no fraud, no intent to deceive, nothing whatsoever criminal or remotely a basis to allege mortgage fraud, a Cook lawyer, Abbe Lowell, wrote to Attorney General Pam Bondi in November.Cook specified that her Atlanta condo would be a vacation home, according to a loan estimate she obtained in May 2021. In a form seeking a security clearance, she described it as a 2nd home. Lowell wrote that the case against her largely rests on one stray reference in a 2021 mortgage document that was plainly innocuous in light of the several other truthful and more specific disclosures about the homes she has purchased. ___Associated Press writers Fatima Hussein, Christopher Rugaber and Lindsay Whitehurst contributed to this report.

APNEWS.COMCody Bellinger stays with the Yankees, agrees to $162.5 million, 5-year contract, AP source saysFederal Reserve governor Lisa Cook and attorney Abbe Lowell, arrive at the Supreme Court in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein)2026-01-21T18:50:32Z Cody Bellinger became the last of the top free-agent hitters to reach a deal, agreeing Wednesday to stay with the New York Yankees for a $162.5 million, five-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement was subject to a successful physical.Bellinger gets a $20 million signing bonus and a full no-trade provision. He has the right to opt out after the 2027 or 2028 seasons to become a free agent again, but if there is a work stoppage that leads to no games being played in 2027, the agreement specifies the opt outs will shift to after the 2027 and 2028 seasons.A two-time All-Star acquired by the Yankees from the Chicago Cubs in December 2024, Bellinger hit .272 with 29 homers and 98 RBIs last year including .302 with 18 homers and 55 RBIs at Yankee Stadium. A left-handed hitter, he played in 149 games in the outfield and seven at first base in his first season since 2022 without a stint on the injured list. He is a son of former Yankee Clay Bellinger.Voted the 2017 National League Rookie of the Year and 2019 NL MVP, Bellinger has a .261 average with 225 homers and 695 RBIs in eight seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2018-22), Cubs (2023-24) and the Yankees.He earned $57.5 million from the $80 million, three-year contract he reached with the Cubs before the 2024 season. Bellinger declined a $25 million option for 2026 in favor of a $5 million buyout.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 1 Views 0 Anteprima

APNEWS.COMRussia watches US-European tensions over Greenland with some glee, gloating and warinessRussian President Vladimir Putin attends a cabinet meeting via videoconference at the Kremlin, in Moscow, Russia, Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026. (Vyacheslav Prokofyev/Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP)2026-01-21T18:36:07Z As tensions simmered between the United States and Europe this week over President Donald Trumps push to acquire Greenland, Russian officials, state-backed media and pro-Kremlin bloggers responded with a mixture of glee, gloating and wariness. Some touted Trumps move as historic, while others said it weakens the European Union and NATO something that Moscow would seem to welcome and that it takes some of the Wests attention away from Russias war in Ukraine.

Share Share Facebook Copy Link copied Print Email X LinkedIn Bluesky Flipboard Pinterest Reddit Read More There was wariness, too, with commentators noting the possible acquisition of the self-governed, mineral-rich island by the U.S. from Denmark held security and economic concerns for Russia, which has sought to assert its influence over wide areas of the Arctic and has moved to boost its military presence in the region, home to its Northern Fleet and a site where the Soviet Union tested nuclear weapons. In a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, Trump insisted he wants to get Greenland, but said he would not use force to do so while repeatedly deriding European allies and vowing that NATO should not try to block U.S. expansionism. Making world history The Kremlin has neither criticized nor supported Trump on the issue, but pointed out the far-reaching impact if the U.S. took Greenland from Denmark. Such measured praise appears in line with Moscows public rhetoric toward the current U.S. administration, as Russia tries to win concessions in the Trump-led effort to end its nearly four-year war in Ukraine and revive relations with Washington that had plunged to Cold War lows.

Share Share Facebook Copy Link copied Print Email X LinkedIn Bluesky Flipboard Pinterest Reddit Read More Regardless of whether its good or bad and whether it complies with international law or not, there are international experts who believe that if Trump takes control of Greenland he will go down in history, and not only the U.S. history but world history, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday. Without discussing whether its good or bad, its hard not to agree with these experts, he added.President Vladimir Putin said last year that Trumps push for control over Greenland wasnt surprising, given longtime U.S. interest in the territory. Putin noted that the United States first considered plans to win control over Greenland in the 19th century, and then offered to buy it from Denmark after World War II. Its obvious that the United States will continue to systematically advance its geostrategic, military-political and economic interests in the Arctic, Putin said. The government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta on Sunday compared it to such planetary events as Abraham Lincolns abolition of slavery ... or the territorial conquests of the Napoleonic Wars.

Lavrov also drew parallels between Trumps bid for Greenland and Putins annexation of Ukraines Crimean Peninsula. The 2014 illegal seizure of the peninsula is not recognized by most of the world. Crimea isnt less important for the security of the Russian Federation than Greenland is for the United States, he said.A blow for longtime alliesOthers focused on the potential rift between the U.S. and its European allies in NATO, a bloc that has held firm since the dawn of the Cold War and that Russia has long viewed as an adversary.

Share Share Facebook Copy Link copied Print Email X LinkedIn Bluesky Flipboard Pinterest Reddit Read More Lavrov echoed his sentiment, saying Trumps bid for Greenland heralds a deep crisis for NATO and raises questions about the alliances preservation as a single military-political bloc.In a series of columns this week, Russian state news agency RIA Novosti touted Trumps push for Greenland as opening the door to world history before our very eyes and mocked European countries for sending small military contingents to Greenland in a show of support for Denmark. Europeans can only watch this in impotent rage they have neither economic nor military leverage against Washington, one column said. Another column said it was amusing and didactical that the World Economic Forum once was at the pinnacle of power and might, a place everyone aspired to, and today theyre burying Atlantic solidarity here. Pushing aside the war in UkraineRussian state and pro-Kremlin media also argued Greenland was diverting attention from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyys effort to negotiate a favorable peace settlement to end Russias invasion of his country, painting it as a positive for Moscow. The world seemed to have forgotten about Ukraine and Zelenskyy. And in this silence, U.S. negotiators (Steve) Witkoff and (Jared) Kushner were preparing to travel to Moscow, the pro-Kremlin tabloid Moskovsky Komsomolets said Sunday. RIA Novosti echoed that Wednesday in a column titled Greenland knocked out Zelenskyy, that this uproar stirred up by Donald Trump has knocked Zelenskyy out cold, and that Ukraines importance will never return to its previous levels.But Trump said in Davos that he would meet with Zelenskyy on Thursday. I want to stop it, Trump said of the fighting. Its a horrible war.Seeking Arctic supremacyDmitry Medvedev, Russias former president who is deputy chairman of the Security Council, drew parallels between Trumps bid for Greenland and Putins seizure of territory in Ukraine but said the Americans actions were completely different. Greenland was never directly connected to the States, even though they tried to acquire it several times, Medvedev said, questioning what price Trump is willing to pay to achieve this goal and whether he is up to the task of eliminating NATO. Popular pro-Kremlin military blogger and correspondent Aleksander Kots said in a recent Telegram post that by taking Greenland, Trump wants to seize the Russian Arctic and get to the natural resources that Moscow covets there. The Moskovsky Komsomolets tabloid on Sunday called Trumps bid for Greenland a turning point, arguing that the Arctic turns from a zone of cooperation into a zone of confrontation. The Northern Fleet will be under threat. The economic projects will face hurdles. The nuclear deterrence will lose effectiveness. Russia will end up in strategic isolation, the article said. Greenland is not just Trumps coveted 2 million square kilometer island. It is an icy noose around Russias throat. And Trump has already begun to tighten it. These concerns stand somewhat in contrast with the Kremlin publicly touting the prospects of cooperating with Washington in the Arctic. Putin has said, however, that Russia is worried about NATOs activities in the polar region and will respond by strengthening its military capability there.
