Four-day week here to stay, say UK firms in world's largest trial

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s potential testimony in the special counsel investigation over alleged interference in the 2020 election figures to be a game-changer, a former federal prosecutor said Wednesday.

Pence on Tuesday was ordered by a federal judge to testify before a grand jury in the Justice Department’s investigation into former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the election results. The investigation is being led by special counsel Jack Smith.

In a Truth Social post this Wednesday, former President Donald Trump slammed "THE HIGHLY PARTISAN & HATEFUL DISTRICT ATTORNEY" Alvin bragg, accusing him of conducting a "SICK WITCH HUNT" with his investigation into the hush money payment handed over to porn star Stormy Daniels by his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen in the run up to the 2016 election.

During a segment on CNN the same day, the post was brought up, much to the amusement of network contributor Van Jones.

Derrick Miller, who serves as a military policy aide for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), was convicted in a military trial for shooting an Afghan civilian in the head during an interrogation, The Intercept reported on Wednesday.

"While on a combat mission in Afghanistan’s Laghman province on September 26, 2010, Miller shot 27-year-old Atta Mohammed in the head during an interrogation," reported Ken Klippenstein. "Miller has maintained that he was acting in self-defense, alleging that Mohammed, who had walked through a defensive perimeter established by Miller’s unit, could be a threat to his unit and that he had tried to grab Miller’s weapon during the interrogation. But another National Guard member testified he heard Miller threaten to kill Mohammed if he did not tell the truth; and then sat on top of him — Mohammed was lying prone — before shooting him in the head, killing him. According to the prosecutor, Miller then said, 'I shot him. He was a liar.' Mohammed’s body was left in a latrine, in violation of military standards."
