According to multiple reports, Johnson hurt his hamstring during Sunday’s practice. The eighth-year cornerback left the field after picking off quarterback Sam Darnold and running it back. He never returned. Johnson is scheduled to undergo an MRI, and coach Adam Gase seemed concerned about the severity of his injury. “Anytime a guy that makes a living running has a hamstring (issue) you just kind of see how it goes,” Gase said, via Newsday....

His comments came during an interview with CNN, just days after the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 began its public hearings, and said it would detail Trump’s actions on that violent day. During his interview, State of the Union host Dana Bash asked about the committee’s next public hearing, which Raskin is a member of, that is scheduled for Monday. “It’s going to focus on misinformation and election fraud,” Bash said....

Although it was long known that the Justice Department was criminally investigating the events of January 6 and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, The Washington Post first reported on Tuesday that Trump’s actions were being looked into as part of that probe. Meanwhile, the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot has held eight publicly televised hearings laying out what many analysts view as damning evidence and testimony against the ex-president....

And so are NHL Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula, a person close to the process confirmed Thursday night to The Associated Press while speaking on the condition of anonymity because the sale is supposed to be private.

The White House is facing increasing scrutiny over its response to the coronavirus panic which is sending markets into free fall. Stocks suffered their worst weekly loss since the financial crisis of 2008, with the Dow Jones closing on Friday down 357 points, or 1.4 percent, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell by 0.8 percent, according to The Washington Post. This week of continued stock market falls could end a record bull market about to mark its eleventh anniversary next week....

Navarro, an economist who leads the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, made the remark in a combative interview with CNN’s Brianna Keilar. Although Keilar pushed back against many of the Trump official’s claims, she did not point out that his claim about the flights from China was false. “Please remember, please remember … President Trump was the first world leader to take definitive action early when he pulled down those China flights on January 29,” Navarro said....

Former FBI counterintelligence agent Asha Rangappa tweeted on Friday that the affidavit outlining the search revealed “staggering” levels of compromised intelligence in the documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, highlighting allusions in the affidavit to Trump’s possession of “special intelligence information.” “The extent of what has been compromised in our intelligence gathering capabilities is going to be staggering,” she said. As defined by the FBI, “special intelligence information”—also classified as “Sensitive compartmented information”—includes technical or intelligence information derived from the monitoring of foreign communications systems....

Trump on Monday turned his ire against McConnell and former Attorney General Bill Barr, claiming the two allowed “radical left” Democrats to “flood the system with mail-in ballots that are very open to fraud,” as Trump described last November’s election. Trump also blasted Barr as a “RINO,” or Republican in name only, and claimed he “went out with a whimper” just hours after Barr was quoted in an interview about his December 2020 “break” with his former boss....

In a tweet Friday, the Utah senator characterized Trump’s request for dirt on political opponent Joe Biden and his son Hunter from the Ukrainian government as “appalling.” Romney remarked that Trump’s Ukraine communications were “brazen and unprecedented,” noting that “it strains credulity” for the president to deny he was targeting Biden merely by coincidence or good faith. “When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated,” Romney wrote....

The Popular Information newsletter reported that the Trump campaign has held 15 contests since 2018 offering the prize, which includes a meal, travel and hotel expenses, and a photo with Trump for the winning donor. Other campaigns have used the same cash-raising tactic, including those of Jeb Bush, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg. These contests are typically followed up with an announcement of a winner and images from the meal....

The president said Tuesday he had put an end to negotiations, which had been aiming to secure a bipartisan agreement. “I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business,” he wrote on Twitter. However, should he lose to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, there would still be an interim period in which Trump would remain in the White House until his successor’s inauguration....

In his latest attempt to defend himself, however, Trump once again elevated the voice of Katie Hopkins, a far-right British commentator who has likened immigrants to rodents and cockroaches, encouraged law enforcement to racially profile the public and once tweeted a racist slur at a black man. “As you can see, I did nothing to lead people on, nor was I particularly happy with their chant — just a very big and patriotic crowd....

With the MAGA Challenge, Gray joins a long list of other would-be internet influencers who have tried to recreate the viral success of internet fads such as the Mannequin Challenge and the “In My Feelings” Challenge to spread their own content. As of November 8, the post has been retweeted more than 6,000 times. The clip Gray posted to announce the challenge featured the performer wearing an oversized Make America Great Again hat and lip-syncing lyrics like “Why these white liberals try to tell me who I am?...

New surveys from Morning Consult found roughly 8 in 10 Republican voters in Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania still have a favorable view of the former president—a potentially good sign for Republicans as Trump attempts to exert his influence over the midterm election cycle as the party aims to regain control of Congress. In each state, Trump was viewed more favorably than House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and former Vice President Mike Pence....

The latest poll from Quinnipiac University shows Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden as tied, both receiving 47 percent of voters’ support. Texas, once a reliably red state, is turning out to be tighter race for the president, who received more than 50 percent of the vote there in 2016. Its prize of 38 electoral votes—the second-largest of any state—helped secure Trump’s overall win against competitor Hillary Clinton. The vast majority of recent polls have shown Trump with a small lead over Biden, but the Quinnipiac survey conducted October 16 through 19 suggests that has narrowed....

Tribes of Midgard’s survival-RPG mechanics look exciting enough on their own, but the game might also provide an opportunity for God of War fans that are desperately waiting for the game’s sequel. Much to the chagrin of fans, the next God of War isn’t coming as soon as some had hoped. Santa Monic Studio decided to shift the release date for the game to sometime in 2022, but in the meantime, Tribes of Midgard could serve as a good appetizer to hold fans over until then....

Rice was best known for her bestselling 1976 novel ‘Interview With The Vampire,’ which was later adapted into the Oscar-nominated 1994 film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Her death was confirmed in a social media statement shared over the weekend by her son, Christopher Rice. In a December 12 Facebook post, he said his mother died due to complications from a stroke. “She left us almost nineteen years to the day my father, her husband Stan, died,” he wrote in a message to his mother’s official Facebook page....

Unfortunately, that became a reality for a trio of prospects on Monday.
