Judge orders release of over 150 names of people mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit documents

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:06:17 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge has ordered the public disclosure of the identities of more than 150 people mentioned in a mountain of court documents related to the late-financier Jeffrey Epstein, saying that most of the names were already public and that many had not objected to the release.The people whose names are to be disclosed, including sex abuse victims, litigation witnesses, Epstein’s employees — and even some people with only a passing connection to the scandal — have until Jan. 1 to appeal the order, signed Monday by Judge Loretta A. Preska.For several years, Preska has reviewed documents sought by the Miami Herald from a civil case, filed by one of Epstein’s victims, that eventually was settled. Many of the records related to that lawsuit were publicly released in past years, but on Monday the judge made determinations about some portions of the records that were initially withheld on potential privacy grounds and what can be made public about certain peopl...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A New York man who served 37 years in prison for the shooting deaths of two people in the 1980s has been released from prison after his conviction was overturned. The Democrat and Chronicle reports Michael Rhynes left the Attica Correctional Facility on Tuesday afternoon following a court appearance in Rochester.His daughter, Michelle Miller, who was born three months after Rhynes was arrested, told the newspaper she’d never seen her father outside the confines of prison. “This will be my first birthday, my first Christmas, my first New Year’s with my father on the outside,” she said. “I think today is the first day I’ve experienced joy. I mean, ever. It’s like a dream.”Acting state Supreme Court Justice Stephen Miller tossed Rhynes’ 1986 murder conviction last week after two key witnesses, who previously had been in jail with Rhynes, recanted their testimony.The now-62-year-old was charged in connection with the killing of two people during a botched ro...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:06:17 GMT

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Giff Smith has received plenty of advice since the Los Angeles Chargers hired him as the interim head coach last Friday.The best though might have come from one of Smith’s former bosses.“Chan Gailey (who had Smith on his staffs at Georgia Tech and the Buffalo Bills) said all those suggestions and thoughts you had are now decisions. Good luck,” Smith said on Tuesday as the Chargers began preparations for Saturday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills.Smith takes over for the final three games from Brandon Staley, who was 24-25 in nearly three seasons at the helm. The Bolts are 5-9 with losses in five of their past six, including last Thursday night’s 63-21 drubbing at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders.The 55-year old Smith is a 32-year coaching veteran.

Immigration fuels uptick in US population growth

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:06:17 GMT

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The number of immigrants to the U.S. jumped to the highest level in two decades this year, driving the nation’s overall population growth, according to estimates released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.The United States added 1.6 million people, more than two-thirds of which came from international migration, bringing the nation’s population total to 334.9 million. It marks the second year in a row that immigration powered population gains.A decline in the number of deaths since the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic also contributed to the U.S. growth rate.Population gains stem from immigration and births outpacing deaths.After immigration declined in the latter half of last decade and dropped even lower amid pandemic-era restrictions, the number of immigrants last year bounced back to almost 1 million people. The trend continued this year as the nation added 1.1 million people.The last time immigration surpassed 1.1 million people was in 2001, according to Cen...

Macron in crisis after immigration showdown

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:06:17 GMT

PARIS ― French President Emmanuel Macron scored a Pyrrhic victory late Tuesday night after passing a flagship immigration bill in a vote that leaves his parliamentary coalition deeply scarred. The bill imposes a series of measures that have been heavily criticized by the left as pandering to Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, while the far-right party claims the Macron government has been inspired by its long-time calls for foreigners to be excluded from state welfare benefits. A key part of the bill would now see social security benefits for foreigners conditional on being in France for at least five years, or 30 months for those who have jobs, echoing some of the National Rally’s longtime campaign lines.In a surprise move, the National Rally on Tuesday announced it would vote in favor of the latest version of the government’s bill, embarrassing the top brass of Macron’s party, who had to choose between passing a bill with far-right support or throwing in the t...
