Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:10:12 GMT

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston visited a large homeless encampment in the 2200 block of Stout Street on Thursday afternoon, talking with and shaking the hands of people that by Friday morning will be ordered to move along as part of the first sweep authorized under the Johnston administration.“That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that,” David Lanci, one of the people living in the camp, said after Johnston talked to him and moved down the line of the tents and makeshift sun shelters. “It didn’t feel like talking to a mayor. It felt like I was talking to a friend. That is big.”Johnston earlier this week said that the city did not have hotel beds, tiny homes or any other form of short-term housing available for the people living in the camp. The promise of providing alternatives to the streets or the city’s existing congregate care shelter system is a pillar of Johnston’s approach to enforcing the city’s camping ban and, he says,...

A man from Victorville was convicted of first-degree murder and torture in connection with the 2017 death of his eight-year-old son. According to a release from the San Bernardino County District Attorney, Shakir Omari Nunn brutally beat his son Dominic to death on Jan. 5, 2017 after Dominic – who authorities said was already deprived of food – ate some of his father’s candy. “Dominic’s cause of death was blunt force trauma in just a matter of hours,” the District Attorney’s Office said. “During trial [doctors] testified that Dominic’s external injuries were too numerous to count.” In addition to his extensive external injuries, Dominic also suffered a lacerated liver, damage to his spleen and intestinal and digestive system damage. Dominic Nunn, pictured before his death in 2017.

Hunter Biden associate Archer testifies before House panel

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:10:12 GMT

By Farnoush Amiri and Stephen Groves | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Focusing on the Bidens rather than Donald Trump’s federal court appearance, House Republicans released a transcript Thursday of their interview with Hunter Biden’s former business associate detailing overseas financial dealings by the president’s son.The more than five-hour closed-door interview with Devon Archer by the House Oversight Committee, released hours before Trump’s appearance to face a third list of charges, provides fresh insight into how President Joe Biden’s youngest son used his relationship with his father, who was then vice president, to court foreign investors. Archer said Hunter Biden was using the “illusion of access” in Washington.Republicans on the panel hope to use their work to prod impeachment proceedings against the president. However, though pressed repeatedly, Archer offered no tangible evidence that Joe Biden’s role in his son’s work ...

Barr on Trump: ‘He knew well that he had lost the election’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:10:12 GMT

By Kaanita Iyer | CNNFormer Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday undermined a key pillar of his old boss’ defense in the special counsel’s probe into 2020 election interference, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that Donald Trump “knew well he lost the election.”The former attorney general also described Trump’s alleged actions as detailed in the indictment as “nauseating” and “despicable,” saying on “The Source,” “someone who engaged in that kind of bullying about a process that is fundamental to our system and to our self-government shouldn’t be anywhere near the Oval Office.”A central premise of the special counsel’s case is that Trump knew the election claims he was making were false after being told by several close aides that he had lost the election. Trump’s lawyers have argued that his statements were protected under the First Amendment, a position that Barr, in his first interview since Trump’s third indictment, said was not a valid argument.“As the indictment says, they are...

Devon Witherspoon showing he can play inside or outside at cornerback for the Seahawks

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:10:12 GMT

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Since ending his brief holdout, rookie Devon Witherspoon has shown every bit of the skill and potential that made him the fifth overall pick in the draft by the Seattle Seahawks.It just may come at a position that wasn’t expected when he became the highest draft selection of Pete Carroll’s tenure in Seattle.At some point, Witherspoon will be a starting outside cornerback for the Seahawks. His talent seems to point in that direction for his future. And it could come at some point this season for Seattle.But the secondary in Seattle is deep – perhaps the deepest position on a team with playoff aspirations. And because of that depth, the best way for Witherspoon to get on the field immediate and make an impact could end up being as a nickel cornerback for Seattle.It’s a position that has become a de facto starter around the league, but one filled with nuance and specialized skill. And it’s one Witherspoon has picked up quickly.“It’s going smooth; it was an easy tra...
