The FBI carried out “court authorized law enforcement activity” at the home of at least two people connected to the investigation, The Washington Post reported. The New York Times named two others linked to the alleged plot who have been served with subpoenas. The subpoenas were issued after rep. Adam Schiff presented evidence on Tuesday, during the fourth day of the House Select Committee’s hearing regarding the January 6 attack, alleging that Trump was personally involved in a scheme to put forward fake electors in order to reverse the outcome of the election....

“Fox puts [Obama] on all the time,” Trump told reporters outside the White House, “Fox is very disappointing, that Fox puts on this—this would not have happened with Roger Ailes, I can tell you that.” Ailes, a longtime friend of Trump, was the former chairman and CEO of Fox News, a position from which he resigned in 2016 after more than a dozen female employees accused him of sexual assault....

On Sunday afternoon, Trump rode in a black Chevrolet Suburban and waved from the backseat. He was shown wearing a mask over his face. Footage of the president riding in the vehicle and waving at supporters was only brief, and it’s unclear if it was just a lap around the block to thank his supporters before returning to the hospital. He went back to the presidential suite at Walter Reed after being outside the facility for about 15 minutes....

Trump hotels in Miami, Chicago and Hawaii have all issued mask mandates as the Delta variant continues to surge in the United States. Other Trump properties, including the Trump Golf Club in Florida and the Albemarle Estate at Trump Winery, have relaxed restrictions when it comes to masking mandates. Both establishments stated that “staff only have to wear a mask if unvaccinated” on their websites. Trump was personally opposed to wearing face masks during his presidency....

The economic expert wrote on Twitter Wednesday that the president’s promises regarding manufacturing jobs and GDP growth have failed to materialize. “The meh GDP numbers won’t help Trump next year. But what should really scare him is his utter failure to boost manufacturing in swing states,” Krugman, who is a columnist for The New York Times and won the Nobel prize in economics in 2008, wrote on Twitter. He shared a graph of manufacturing job levels over time in Wisconsin to emphasize his point....

According to a new YouGov/Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation poll, 27 percent of American adults view Trump as the largest threat to world peace, compared with Kim (22 percent) and Putin (15 percent). China’s Xi Jinping and Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro are also seen as less threatening than Trump. Just 13 percent of U.S. adults polled viewed Jinping as the biggest threat to world peace, and 5 percent saw Maduro as the biggest threat....

The president’s eldest son told Charlie Kirk, a contributor to Newsweek’s “The Debate” platform, that the Bloomberg 2020 primary campaign was a “case study” of whether the presidency could be bought, and suggested the billionaire did not have a “real following.” In a podcast provided ahead of release, Trump Jr. also said he believed the Democratic National Committee would “screw” Sen. Sanders out of the the party’s nomination, and claimed it would be to his father’s benefit if it used its “infinite wisdom” to pick a presidential candidate....

“As badly as we were treated in Georgia by the ‘Republican’ Governor and ‘Republican’ Secretary of State, we must have a massive victory for two great people, @KLoeffler & @sendavidperdue on January 5th,” he wrote in the tweet. “I will be having a big Rally for them on Monday night, January 4th. WIN!” Trump’s recent post, targeting Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, trailed weeks of recurring criticism....

The judge’s ruling granted a requested injunction to Antrim County resident William Bailey, who, according to court documents, alleged his ballot was not counted on November 3. Bailey’s complaint did not reference the presidential race, but instead cited a local ordinance to authorize the establishment of a marijuana retailer in his county, which passed by one vote after Election Day. Neither Trump nor his campaign is referenced in the judge’s decision, although it does grant his request for a forensic review of Dominion Voting Systems’ tabulation software, which the county used to collect and count votes during the general election....

Leaked Chinese government documents presented by Adrian Zenz, an academic who specialized in the subject, showed a direct link between President Xi Jinping and the estimated 1 million people confined in reeducation camps and forced labor systems in Xinjiang in recent years.

All of the group’s 117,000 employees throughout 22 states, as well as contractors and anyone conducting business in a Trinity facility, have to meet the deadline. Exceptions to the requirement may be allowed for religious or health reasons, the Associated Press added.

Trinity Health CEO Mike Slubowski said that the requirement will provide a safer environment for those who can’t be vaccinated, the immunocompromised and the system’s own staff....

But the 13th MEU, a support unit that has been in Iraq on its current tour for about three months, was already scheduled to return home from Iraq on Nov. 17. Their new date of arrival under the drawdown plan? Still Nov. 17. Other Marine units have been in Iraq as much as three times longer than the 13th MEU, and some active-duty Army soldiers are serving 15-month tours, the longest of the war....

City’s rivals Manchester United took the opportunity this week for a warm-weather training trip to Dubai, allowing boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer time to work on his squad’s fitness. Guardiola did take his players to Abu Dhabi last March, after their surprise FA Cup fifth round defeat at Wigan left them with a free week. The City boss will consider a similar trip this time round if an early FA Cup exit leaves a gap in their match schedule....

The Hurricane Center said Barry is expected “to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 20 inches over south-central and southeast Louisiana along with southwest Mississippi, with isolated maximum amounts of 25 inches.” The weather service warned the rain would likely bring “dangerous, life-threatening flooding” as well as “life-threatening storm surge.” Rainfall began in various cities days before the storm was expected to hit. The National Weather Service (NSW) said rainfall had reached nearly eight inches in some areas of Jefferson Parish by Wednesday, while some parts of New Orleans were up to 6....

The Yankees held a media tasting event at Yankee Stadium on Monday, featuring some of the new items being sold at the venue this season. One of the new features being showcased was a machine that allowed fans to sip on a beer imprinted with the image of their favourite player, including Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, as well as a range of club logos. MLB regulations do not allow active players to be involved in the advertising of alcohol, so Blue Point Brewing Company - the brand responsible for the gimmick - has been advised to withdraw the service....

What went wrong? Lockheed won the bid by proposing changes to an existing model that has been flying the pope and NATO troops around Europe. But the Navy’s goal was to build a flying Oval Office with communications rivaling those in Air Force One, the president’s Boeing 747. The Navy also demanded state-of-the-art missile defenses and protection against a nuclear blast, more engine power and range than the European version, and a 14-person cabin with an executive bathroom....

Paul Gascoigne’s life may be in danger, the troubled England football hero’s agent said. Terry Baker told BBC radio that the former Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio and Rangers star, who has battled alcoholism and depression for many years, “immediately needs to get some help”.

Trent Rockets are a win away from sealing their spot in the top three. Their batters have been sensational, with Alex Hales and Dawid Malan accounting for over 500 runs at the top of the order.
