American Media Inc., the parent company of the National Enquirer, has agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in New York, the Department of Justice announced in a statement on Wednesday.
AMI admitted that it paid $150,000 to a woman "in concert with" President Trump's campaign "in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election."
Time magazine has named a newspaper and four journalists, including Washington Post's murdered Saudi columnist Jamal Khashoggi, as its Person of the Year.
The Capital Gazette in the US state of Maryland's Annapolis, two Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, Philippine journalist Maria Ressa, as well as Khashoggi, were recognised as "Guardians" of truth, Time's editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal announced on Tuesday.
China is demanding the release of telecoms giant Huawei's chief financial officer, who has been detained in Canada.
Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of the company's founder, could face extradition to the US.
She was arrested in Vancouver on 1 December, but the news was not made public at her request.
The charges remain unknown but the US has been probing Huawei over possible violation of sanctions against Iran.
China says her detention is possibly a rights abuse.
The government—led by far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban—refused to acknowledge an agreement that would enable the school to admit new students in Hungary, forcing them to move to Vienna.
The ousting marks the first time a university has been forced out of a European Union nation. The university was founded a quarter-century ago after communism’s collapse in Central and Eastern Europe, and, despite its consideration as one of the world’s best graduate schools, has come under repeated attack by Orban, whose nationalist philosophy conflicts with the Hungarian-American Soros’ liberalism.
Trump in two tweets blamed the cancellation of Saturday's expected encounter with Putin on the failure of Russia to return three ships and their sailors seized from Ukraine last weekend in the Black Sea.
But the social-media scuttling of the sitdown came an hour after he personally told reporters that he would probably meet with Putin.
Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist and co-author of the recently released U.S. National Climate Assessment, was supposed to be Anderson Cooper’s guest during CNN’s primetime broadcast Tuesday night.
She even pre-taped the appearance for AC360, but when the live show aired, it was nowhere to be seen.
For Hayhoe, this was yet another example of cable news favoring climate deniers over climate scientists.
After she realized what happened, Hayhoe tweeted a thread accusing CNN of bumping her to make room for paid contributor Rick Santorum, who made news over the weekend by spreading a conspiracy theory about scientists getting rich pushing climate-change alarmism during an appearance on that same network’s State of the Union.
