A grand jury found the fatal shooting by Fort Pierce Police of a man suspected of earlier deadly shootings to be justified, a prosecutor said.
The Florida jurist finds ‘no historical precedent’ for plan to release a special counsel’s dossier while a case is ongoing.
Judge Aileen Cannon may not be inclined to allow the Justice Department to share special counsel Jack Smith's report on the classified documents case with Congress — at least for now.
The acting attorney general said these officials could not be trusted to "faithfully implement the president's agenda."
FORT PIERCE, Florida — A federal judge appeared highly skeptical Friday of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s plan to show lawmakers the volume of special counsel Jack Smith’s report ...
Though Trump is no longer a party to the case, Garland agreed with concerns raised by Smith that publicly releasing the classified documents report could unfairly prejudice co-defendants Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira - both longtime Trump employees.
The Florida-based judge did not immediately rule on whether the Justice Department can move forward with its plan to show the report to a handful of lawmakers.
Cannon’s ruling could make it easier for the Trump administration to bury the report, which recounts Smith’s investigation into the classified records that Trump stored at his Mar-a-Lago home after his first term and his alleged attempt to obstruct efforts to retrieve them.
FORT PIERCE — The city last year canceled the process of awarding a new lease for its North Hutchinson Island property that Little Jim Bait & Tackle calls home. Now, with less than a month until the existing lease expires, the city is down to the wire.
A report of shooting activity in Fort Pierce ended with investigators taking three people into custody in the Port St. Lucie area, officials said.
The department’s motion to drop the case was signed by Hayden O’Byrne, who was appointed as the “interim” U.S. Attorney in Miami on Monday at the same time as the firings. O’Byrne, a member of the conservative Federalist Society, was hired as a prosecutor by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in 2019.
