New York City Mayor Eric Adams warned "rabble-rousers" – including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) – that there will be arrests if a Tuesday protest becomes violent.
In public remarks on Monday, Adams noted that Greene planned to lead a Tuesday protest as former President Donald Trump was being arraigned in connection to hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.
"While there may be some rabble-rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow, our message is clear and simple," Adams said. "Control yourselves. New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger."
"And although we have no specific threats, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, she stated she's coming to town," he continued. "While you're in town, be on your best behavior. As always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind. And if one is caught participating in any act of violence, they will be arrested and held accountable. No matter who you are."
Greene said her protest would occur across the street from the New York courthouse at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
Donald Trump is at major risk in the Mar-a-Lago documents scandal and he has "every reason to be worried," according to a justice correspondent for The Nation.
Elie Mystal was on a panel for MSNBC on Friday night, when he was asked if he thinks an indictment is incoming in Jack Smith's investigation into potentially unlawful conduct such as improper retention of classified documents, or obstruction. Hugo Lowell, The Guardian's political investigations reporter, said reports that Trump was showing the documents to others only adds to his culpability during prosecution
"I think right now Jack Smith is living rent-free in Trump's head. And Trump has every reason to be worried about Jack Smith in part because of what Hugo was just saying," Mystal said. "The kind of crime Trump commits is a crime he admits to again and again anytime somebody gives him free advertising, right? Because whenever he gets free advertising he gets up there and says I took these documents on purpose and I had them because I was allowed to."
Mystal added that Trump should have played dumb about the documents.
"His best legal argument is who could know how many documents I had? Everything is very confusing. If you contrast that to the Biden documents issue that was happening, that was Biden's argument: I don't know. Trump is like, no, I knew exactly what I took because I was allowed to, and that's a very bad legal argument for him."
Mystal added that he thinks "Jack Smith is coming for the documents." For January 6th, for the conspiracy for the attempt to overthrow the united states government, he said he is "still skeptical about that."
"I'm still skeptical about whether or not smith or anybody at the DOJ has what it takes to come after Trump for his attempted coup of the nation. But the documents thing, yeah, I think that's going to happen," Mystal said. "As Hugo was saying, showing them around is not in and of itself an additional charge, but the point where you're doing it, it establishes culpability for the charges they're already investigate him from, and while he's showing them around if they had any of those sticky price tags on them, how much it would take you to get your very own copy of this document. That in itself goes to show his culpability."
A baby raccoon was euthanized after a woman brought the animal to a Maine Petco store for a nail trim and let strangers kiss it, authorities said.
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife in a Facebook post said the agency is seeking information about the woman who brought the potentially rabies-infected raccoon to the Auburn Petco store on Mt. Auburn Avenue to have its nails trimmed at around 1:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday.
The raccoon tested negative for rabies, meaning anyone who came into contact with the animal won’t need to seek treatment, the agency said. The test requires that the animal be euthanized, according to the CDC's explanation.
Many people handled the racoon and some even kissed it while the woman waited at the store, the agency said.
Raccoons are one of the state’s most common carriers of rabies.
Once the store manager became aware of the situation, they asked the woman to leave the store and contacted the Maine CDC and the Maine Warden Service.
It is illegal to possess wildlife in Maine, and Petco reportedly does not trim raccoon nails.
“Keep Wildlife Wild” and “If you care, leave them there,” the agency said.
Anyone with information about the woman with the raccoon is asked to contact the Maine Warden Service at 1-800-452-4664.
Virginia Chamberlain, Craig’s mother, confirmed the 23-year-old Army Specialist was alive in a text message to The Beast at 5 p.m. local time Friday.
“We have found my son alive!!” she wrote.
Authorities have not yet released information about the cause of Cameron’s death, or whether it was related to her husband’s disappearance.
"The III Armored Corps is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Cameron Chamberlain, the spouse of Army Spc. Craig Chamberlain. Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Cameron Chamberlain," the Army said in a statement obtained by FOX Austin.
Virginia Cameron told The Beast that her son and Cameron were experiencing marital difficulties.
“They absolutely rushed into marriage without thinking about it,” she said.
Cameron Chamberlain in an interview with a local television station said her husband struggled with depression and speculated that his dissatisfaction with leadership at the Fort Cavazos base where he was stationed was a factor in his disappearance.
“When I met him, he was a carefree, loving, laid back person. He didn’t have a mean bone in his body,” she told KWTX. “He had no hate in his heart. He was a happy man. And [Fort Cavazos] and his leadership completely destroyed him.”
