President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered the suspension of any security clearances held by lawyers at a prominent Washington law firm who provided legal services to special counsel Jack Smith, the latest move in the Republican's campaign of retribution over the criminal investigations that dogged him before he returned to office. Trump's memo signed at the White House seeks to punish the law firm Covington & Burling days after it was revealed that the firm provided pro bono legal services to Smith, who charged Trump in two criminal cases that were later dismissed after Trump won back the presidency in November. Covington & Burling is an international law firm whose current attorneys include former Attorney General Eric Holder and Lanny Breuer, an ex-Justice Department official who in 2010 hired Smith to lead the agency's Public Integrity Section. The firm had no role in Smith's investigation of Trump, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation. The firm recently agreed to represent Smith 'when it became apparent that he would become subject of a government investigation," it said in a statement Tuesday. 'Covington serves as defense counsel to Jack Smith in his personal, individual capacity,' a spokesperson for the firm said. 'We look forward to defending Mr. Smith's interests and appreciate the trust he has placed in us to do so.' The move is part of Trump's effort to exact revenge on his perceived political enemies, and Smith in particular. After signing the directive, Trump suggested the pen he used be sent to Smith, eliciting laughter in the Oval Office. It's not the first time that Trump as president has sought to suspend clearances of Washington figures who have provoked his ire. Last month, for instance, he moved to revoke the clearances of more than four dozen former intelligence officials who signed onto a letter who said the Hunter Biden laptop saga bore the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. The memo directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to suspend any active security clearances held by Peter Koski, an attorney representing Smith, and 'all members, partners, and employees' of Covington who assisted Smith during his time as special counsel. It says they will be suspended 'pending a review and determination of their roles and responsibilities, if any, in the weaponization of the judicial process.' Asked by a reporter Tuesday about the targeting of the law firm, Trump replied: 'I've been targeted for four years, longer than that, so don't you tell me about targeting. I was the target of corrupt politicians for four years and then four years after that, so don't talk to me about targeting.' A financial disclosure firm filed by Smith and reported on by Politico earlier this month revealed that Smith had disclosed receiving $140,000 in pro bono legal services from Covington & Burling before he left his position in January after more than two years on the job. It follows the firings of members of Smith's team and appears designed to deter lawyers and major law firms from offering legal services to the investigators who investigated Trump, many of whom -- like Smith -- have sought their own counsel from attorneys. Bondi and other Republicans have argued the Justice Department under President Joe Biden had become 'weaponized' against conservatives and Trump in particular. In one of her first actions in office, Bondi announced the creation of a 'weaponization working group' that will examine Smith's work and the prosecutors and law enforcement who participated in what Bondi's memo described as the 'unprecedented raid on President Trump's home.' Smith was appointed in November 2022 by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland to take over in-progress investigations into Trump's hoarding of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Both investigations resulted in indictments, though the classified documents case was dismissed by a judge who concluded that Smith's appointment was illegal and the election interference prosecution was significantly narrowed by a Supreme Court opinion last summer. Smith dismissed both shortly after Trump's election win in November, citing longstanding Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president.

26 February,2025 08:42 AM IST | Washington | APA satellite company owned by Elon Musk has the inside track to potentially take over a large federal contract to modernize the nation's air traffic communications system. Equipment from Musk's Starlink has been installed in Federal Aviation Administration facilities as a prelude to a takeover of a $2 billion contract held by Verizon, according to government employees, contractors and people familiar with the work. Musk said that the network used by air traffic controllers is aging and requires drastic and quick action to modernize it. 'The Verizon system is not working and so is putting air travelers at serious risk,' Musk on Monday posted on X, the social media site he has owned since 2022. The emergence of Starlink as a potential replacement for the Verizon-led effort underscores the extraordinary conflicts of interest inherent in Musk's position as both a senior White House adviser to President Donald Trump and a business mogul in charge of a sprawling array of companies. It is not clear what role Musk might be playing in helping Starlink parent company SpaceX win such business. 'There's very limited transparency,' said Jessica Tillipman, a contracting law expert at George Washington University. Referring to Musk, she said: 'Without that transparency, we have no idea how much non-public information he has access to or what role he's playing in what contracts are being awarded.' Former FAA officials also told The Associated Press that they were alarmed at the prospect of Starlink being used as a critical part of the nation's aviation system without adequate testing, review and debate about its benefits and drawbacks. SpaceX is angling to use its constellation of satellites to replace an aging ground-based communications system that facilitates the FAA's text and voice communication, the sources said. The Verizon contract, awarded in 2023, was to update part of that system to a more modern standard relying on fiber optic cables. Contracting records show that nearly $200 million in work has already been done on Verizon's 15-year modernization effort to update the FAA's communications system. A Verizon representative said the company is unaware that the contract is being amended or terminated. The FAA announced on X on Monday that the agency is testing a Starlink terminal at its facility in Atlantic City and two terminals at 'non-safety critical sites' in Alaska. Terminals are ground-based receivers that connect devices or computers to orbiting satellites. Another FAA contractor, L3 Harris, confirmed it was responsible for acquiring and testing Starlink terminals for incorporation into the FAA's telecommunications infrastructure network. An L3 Harris spokesperson said the company has been working with SpaceX on the initiative for many months. Bloomberg News reported earlier about the FAA installing Starlink terminals at its facilities. Details about SpaceX employees deployed to work on the project are unclear, but three of its software developers appeared on a Trump administration list of government workers given 'ethics waivers' to do work that could benefit Musk's company. Government ethics laws require that people who could profit from government work either recuse themselves from specific projects or first sell their financial holdings or sever ties with the company that could benefit. Waivers can be granted by the heads of government departments or other officials, but only in limited circumstances. Ted Malaska, a senior director of application software at SpaceX, got a waiver along with two software engineers, Brady Glantz and Thomas Kiernan, according to the waiver list and LinkedIn profiles. The AP could not determine if the three are still working for SpaceX or the precise nature of work for the federal government. Malaska posted on social media on Thursday that he had been meeting at FAA headquarters with officials responsible for implementation of the telecommunications modernization. The FAA contract is not Musk's only conflict. His acolytes have also taken over many of the operations at the General Services Administration, which controls real estate and contracting for numerous government agencies. GSA currently offers other agencies the ability to launch payloads through an existing SpaceX contract '- putting the agency in a position to direct business toward Musk. The Department of Transportation regulates aspects of SpaceX and his electric car company Tesla. NASA and the Department of Defense are major customers of SpaceX. His brain-computer interface company Neuralink has regulatory issues in front of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

26 February,2025 08:40 AM IST | Washington | APIsraeli and Hamas officials said Tuesday they have reached an agreement to exchange the bodies of dead hostages for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, keeping their fragile ceasefire intact for at least a few more days. Israel has delayed the release of 600 Palestinian prisoners since Saturday to protest what it says is the cruel treatment of hostages during their release by Hamas. The militant group has said the delay is a 'serious violation' of their ceasefire and that talks on a second phase are not possible until they are freed. The deadlock had threatened to collapse the ceasefire when the current six-week first phase of the deal expires this weekend. But late Tuesday, Hamas said an agreement had been reached to resolve the dispute during a visit to Cairo by a delegation headed by Khalil al-Hayya, a top political official in the group. The breakthrough appeared to clear the way for the return of the bodies of four more dead hostages and hundreds of additional prisoners scheduled to be released under the ceasefire. The prisoners previously slated for release 'will be released simultaneously with the bodies of the Israeli prisoners who were agreed to be handed over,' along with the release of a new set of Palestinian prisoners, the statement said. An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, confirmed an agreement to bring home the bodies in the coming days. He gave no further details. The agreement could clear the way for the an expected visit for the White House's Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff, to the region. Witkoff has said he wants the sides to move into negotiations on the second phase, during which all remaining hostages held by Hamas are to be released and an end to the war is to be negotiated.

26 February,2025 08:38 AM IST | Jerusalem | APPope Francis continued his treatment for pneumonia Tuesday as the Vatican set in motion a nightly marathon of prayers. In the most upbeat bulletin in days, the Vatican said Francis had resumed work from his hospital room, calling a parish in Gaza City that he has kept in touch with since the war there began. Pope Francis was well enough on Monday to meet in the hospital with the Vatican secretary of state and his deputy to approve new decrees of candidates for possible sainthood, the Vatican said Tuesday. The decrees, published Tuesday in the Holy See’s noon bulletin, signalled that the machinery of the Vatican is grinding on even with Francis hospitalized and in critical condition. Doctors on Monday said he remained in critical condition with double pneumonia but reported a “slight improvement” in some laboratory results.

26 February,2025 08:32 AM IST | Vatican City | AgenciesDefence Minister Israel Katz announced new sanctions on Tuesday targeting security prisoners and their families who are Israeli citizens and residents receiving “pay for slay” payouts from the Palestinian Authority (PA). Following the decision, Israeli security forces conducted raids on multiple homes, confiscating cash and assets worth hundreds of thousands of shekels, the Defence Ministry said. The funds, Katz said, were payments made by the PA to convicted terrorists and their families as compensation for past attacks. In addition to the sanctions, Israel froze NIS 470 million ($131 million) in PA funds, which Katz stated would be redirected to support victims of terror. The PA allocates around $279 million annually to pay salaries to security prisoners in Israeli prisons, which range from $400-$3400 per month, depending on the sentence. In comparison, PA welfare benefits to ordinary Palestinians range from $60-$170 per month. Israel expands ‘Northern Shield’ Israel ramped up the ‘Northern Shield’ project to construct 1240 shelters in 17 northern border communities. Eight companies are involved, with plans to expand to more areas next month. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

25 February,2025 08:39 AM IST | Taipei | ANIFrench President Emmanuel Macron said US President Donald Trump and he made "substantive steps forward" during their meeting on Monday (local time), emphasising their shared desire to build peace -- but warning that it won't happen if Ukraine is forced to surrender, CNN reported. "This peace must not mean a surrender of Ukraine. It must not mean a ceasefire without guarantees. This peace must allow for Ukrainian sovereignty and allow Ukraine to negotiate with other stakeholders," Macron said at a joint news conference with Trump at the White House, as per CNN. The French president commended the US leader for his "decision to work with President (Volodymyr) Zelensky, and to conclude this agreement that's so important for the US and Ukraine on rare earths and critical minerals, but also having substantive conversations with President Zelensky, doing this key phase of achieving this deal, which is a major commitment to Ukraine sovereignty." Macron added that "after speaking with President Trump, I fully believe that there is a path forward," saying that they "share the same beliefs" on forging a lasting peace. Trump said that he believes Macron agrees with him on "many of the most important issues," including that this is the right time to end the war, CNN reported. Trump that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "may come" to Washington this week or next as the two countries are "very close" to coming to an agreement on a rare earths minerals deal. "I will be meeting with President Zelenskyy. In fact, he may come in this week or next week to sign the agreement and... which would be nice, I'd love to meet him. We'd meet at the Oval Office. So the agreements being worked on now. They're very close to a final deal. It'll be a deal with rare earths and various other things. And he would like to come, as I understand it, here, to sign it and that would be great with me," Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with France's President Emmanuel Macron. The President's comments come as a finalized draft of the US-Ukraine resources agreement has been presented to the Trump administration and centers on a framework for a reconstruction fund for Ukraine, leaving problematic technical details, including security guarantees to later discussions, according to a Ukrainian source familiar with the negotiation, CNN reported. During the Oval Office meeting, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent -- who was in the room -- added that an agreement is close, CNN reported. "We are very close, one-yard line," Bessent said. Trump, with regards to Russia, said he would be open to an economic development partnership with Russia -- but added that his first priority is ending the war in Ukraine, CNN reported. Trump's response came after he was asked about an earlier Truth Social post where he said he was in "serious discussions" with Russian President Vladimir Putin about "the ending of the War, and also major Economic Development transactions which will take place between the United States and Russia." Trump expanded on those comments later in the Oval Office, saying, "You know, they have massive rare earth. It's very large -- it's actually the largest in terms of land. It's by far the largest country. And they have very valuable things that we could use, and we have things that they could use, and it would be very good if we could do that. I think it would be a very good thing for world peace and lasting peace." Meanwhile, Zelenskyy took to X and praised the heroism of Ukrainians in the ongoing war. https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1893903871040463251 https://x.com/vonderleyen/status/1893892943712301259 Additionally, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, visited Kyiv on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

25 February,2025 08:18 AM IST | Washington | ANIThe United States, in a surprising shift from its previous stance, voted alongside Russia against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's war against Ukraine on Monday, as reported by CNN. This vote against the Ukrainian and European-backed resolution saw the US at odds with its longtime European allies and instead aligning with Russia on the third anniversary of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as per CNN. It came as the Trump administration has pursued discussions with Moscow about ending the war, with US President Donald Trump has ratcheted up his rhetoric towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The resolution was adopted by the General Assembly with 93 votes in favor.

The US had introduced a rival General Assembly resolution, which did not call Russia the aggressor or acknowledge Ukraine's territorial integrity, CNN reported. It "implores a swift end to the conflict and further urges a lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia." It mourns "the tragic loss of life throughout the Russia-Ukraine conflict" and reiterates "the principal purpose of the United Nations, as expressed in the United Nations Charter, is to maintain international peace and security and to peacefully settle disputes," per CNN. The US is expected to introduce the same draft resolution at the UN Security Council later on Monday (local time). Prior to the vote in the General Assembly, Ambassador Dorothy Shea, the Charge d'Affaires at the US Mission to the UN, had urged "all Member States, including Ukraine and Russia" to back the resolution. "A simple, historic statement from the General Assembly that looks forward, not backwards. A resolution focused on one, simple idea: Ending the war. A path to peace is possible," she said. "Mr. President, that is why the United States opposed putting forward another resolution. And that is why we cannot support Ukraine's resolution, and we urge its withdrawal in favor of a strong statement committing us to end the war and work towards lasting peace," Shea said. The US ended up abstaining from the vote for its own resolution at the General Assembly after several amendments were passed ahead of the vote to strengthen the language against Russia and reaffirm Ukraine's territorial integrity.

25 February,2025 08:11 AM IST | New York | ANINASA will soon launch a new telescope which it says will create the “most colourful” map of the cosmos ever made. The SPHEREx telescope is relatively small but will provide a humongous amount of knowledge in its 2-year mission. The infrared telescope is designed to take spectroscopic images, ones that measure individual wavelengths of light from a source. By doing this it will be able to tell us about the formation of the universe, the growth of galaxies across cosmic history, and the location of water and life-forming molecules in our own galaxy. The February 27 mission will help understand how the universe came to be, and why life exists. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.
