(CNN) — Two of the five New Haven, Connecticut, police officers involved in the June 2022 arrest of Randy Cox, who was left paralyzed from the chest down in a police van, have been fired, officials said.Four members of the New Haven Board of Police Commissioners on Wednesday voted in favor of dismissing officers Jocelyn Lavandier and Luis Rivera over the transportation incident, Mayor Justin Elicker said.Police Chief Karl Jacobson recommended the terminations of all five officers in March.The commissioners found that Lavandier and Rivera violated the “General Orders of the New Haven Police Department,” according to Elicker.Lavandier’s lawyer called the move “an absolute rush to judgment” in a statement to CNN.“At a minimum, the City should have waited for the judicial process to play out before terminating Officer Lavandier,” attorney Daniel Ford said.CNN has reached out to Rivera for comment.In November 2022, both officers, along with officers Ronald Pressley, Oscar Diaz and Sgt.

Donald Trump will plead not guilty to charges connected to his handling of classified national security records, the former president told Fox News on Friday.Trump told Fox News that he’s “totally innocent” and that the indictment is “election interference at the highest level.”The former president, who is seeking reelection to the White House in next year’s election, announced Thursday that he had been indicted on charges connected to his handling of classified national security records. He wrote on social media that he had been summoned to federal court on Tuesday in Miami, where prosecutors are expected to charge Trump with seven criminal counts.Trump’s lawyer, in a separate interview with Fox News, said Trump’s second indictment is nothing more than a “political weapon to sideline a candidate.”“None of this is a surprise to the actual people at Archives, but they have turned it into a political weapon to sideline a candidate,” Trump lawyer Jim Trusty said on “Fox and Friend...

Ukraine counteroffensive ramps up, but meets stiff Russian resistance

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:39:07 GMT

Ukrainian mechanized brigades are redoubling their assaults around Bakhmut in the Donetsk region and neighboring Zaporizhzhia, but appear to be facing forceful Russian resistance with both sides claiming to have inflicted heavy losses in the past five days.As their counteroffensive ramps up, the Ukrainians say they’ve made advances of up to 1,600 meters around Bakhmut, the salt-mining town that Russian forces only recently overran after months of vicious close-combat warfare. And Russian military bloggers with close ties to the country’s defense ministry have acknowledged the Ukrainians have had some success there. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the boss of the Wagner paramilitary group, bemoaned earlier this week a fallback of Russian troops in Bakhmut, dubbing it a “disgrace.”But in Zaporizhzhia, the picture appears much more mixed. “Ukrainian forces conducted a limited, but still significant attack in the western Zaporizhzhia region on the night of June 7 to 8,” the Institute for the Study o...

Chicago Bears Q&A: What are some key matchups to watch? Will the Buffalo Bills’ signing of Leonard Floyd jump-start the edge-rusher market?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:39:07 GMT

The Chicago Bears wrapped up their third week of organized team activities ahead of mandatory minicamp next week. What matchups should we be watching? And will the Bears finally sign an edge rusher? Brad Biggs addresses concerns in his weekly mailbag.What are some key matchups we should be paying attention to in minicamp and training camp? — @just_acyI don’t know that there are a lot of matchups that are super intriguing at training camp. Obviously you want to see how wide receiver DJ Moore performs when the pads come on and he’s competing against cornerbacks. I am talking specifically about work where it is starters versus starters. Moore facing the second-team cornerbacks doesn’t generate a ton of intrigue for me. It would be concerning (from an offensive standpoint, anyway) if the current group of edge rushers had a ton of success against the starting offensive tackles.Maybe more interesting will be the few battles for starting spots. I don’t know if...

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis was “progressively improving” and sitting in an armchair working Friday, following surgery to remove intestinal scar tissue and repair a hernia in his abdominal wall, the Vatican said.After a restful night, Francis had breakfast and read the newspapers from his armchair, spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement. He quoted doctors as saying Francis’ condition was “progressively improving and the post-operative course is smooth.”The 86-year-old pope was admitted to the Gemelli hospital on Wednesday for his second major abdominal operation in two years, following a 2021 procedure to remove part of his colon. During the procedure, doctors removed adhesions, or internal scarring, on the intestine that had caused a partial blockage. They also repaired a hernia that had formed over a previous scar, placing a prosthetic mesh in the abdominal wall. Francis is expected to remain at Gemelli for several days.The Associated Press
