NEW YORK (AP) — Federal prosecutors in New York City have rewritten their indictment against U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife to charge them with conspiring to have him act as an agent of Egypt and Egyptian officials.The superseding indictment was filed in Manhattan federal court on Thursday. It says the conspiracy occurred from January 2018 to June 2022.Messages left with Menendez’s Senate staff and attorney were not immediately answered.The new charge comes just weeks after the Democrat and his wife were accused of accepting bribes of cash, gold bars and a luxury car from three New Jersey businessmen who wanted the senator to help and influence over foreign affairs. The couple have pleaded not guilty.Menendez defiantly pushed back against federal corruption charges last month, saying nearly half a million dollars in cash authorities found in his home was from his personal savings, not from bribes, and was on hand for emergencies.Rejecting rising calls for him to r...France orders ban on all pro-Palestinian protests

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin on Thursday announced a systematic ban on pro-Palestinian demonstrations in France, amid the war between Hamas and Israel.Darmanin sent “strict instructions” to ban “pro-Palestinian demonstrations because they are likely to generate public order disturbances,” in a document originally seen by AFP and reported on by other French media.“The organization of these prohibited demonstrations should lead to arrests,” the minister said.Arrests of “organizers and troublemakers” will be made in the future, the ministry told AFP, according to French news. According to Darmanin, more than 100 antisemitic cases have been reported in France since Hamas launched its surprise attack in Israel on Saturday, killing hundreds and triggering Israeli retaliatory strikes and a “complete siege” on more than 2 million people in Gaza.After National Assembly President Yaël Braun-Pivet — who led a minute of sil...European socialists suspend Robert Fico’s Smer party and its ally Hlas

The Party of European Socialists on Thursday suspended both Robert Fico’s election-winning Smer (Direction) party and Peter Pellegrini’s Hlas (Voice) party, which on Wednesday announced they’d formed a government in Slovakia.“This step has been taken following the clear divergence from the values of the PES family demonstrated by Smer-SD leader Robert Fico. And additionally, as a result of concerns raised following the announcement of a government coalition between Smer-SD, Hlas-SD and a radical-right party,” said the press release.A meeting of the PES presidency made the announcement a day after the two parties announced an agreement on forming a ruling coalition in Slovakia, along with the right-populist Slovak National Party. The suspension of Hlas — which has an associated rather than full membership in the PES — was not anticipated. Stefan Löfven, the president of PES and former prime minister of Sweden, had threatened to expel Fico in an interview with S...Olympic chiefs ban Russia — but door still open to Paris 2024 for athletes

The International Olympic Committee on Thursday banned the Russian Olympic Committee, effective immediately but it has not changed its position on the possibility of Russian athletes taking part in the Paris 2024 Olympics. The IOC said in statement that Russia’s decision to claim regional sports organizations in occupied areas of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia, areas which should be under the authority of Ukraine’s National Olympic Committee, as members was a breach of the Olympic Charter.Because of the breach, the ROC is suspended “with immediate effect until further notice.”As a consequence of the suspension, the Russian committee can’t operate as a National Olympic Committee and will not be able to receive any funding from the Olympic Movement.The statement specifies that the IOC’s position on Russian athletes’ involvement in next year’s Paris 2024 Games remains fully in place. As per the committee’s recommendations from earlier this year, Russian and ...Tewksbury police investigating after individual places raccoon corpse on resident’s car

Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife to charge them with conspiring to have him act as an agent of Egypt and Egyptian officials.The superseding indictment, filed in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, accuses Menendez of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires people to register with the U.S. government if they are acting as “an agent of a foreign principal.” As a member of Congress, Menendez was prohibited from being an agent of a foreign government, even if he did register as one.Messages left with Menendez’s Senate staff and attorney on Thursday were not immediately answered.The indictment says the conspiracy occurred from January 2018 to June 2022.

By Tiffany Curtis | NerdWalletRetailers once again have begun their bid for consumers’ attention with big sales early in fall, such as what amounts to a second Amazon Prime Day sale. A longer holiday shopping season lets you spread out expenses, but it also could lead to overspending.Danetha Doe, founder of financial education company Money & Mimosas, said in an email, “It’s easy to go into unplanned debt during this time because many of us show love to those we care about by buying gifts or by spending money on travel to be with loved ones.”NerdWallet’s 2023 holiday shopping report bears that out: 52% of Americans incurred credit card debt from holiday shopping last year, and 31% of them still have lingering balances. Survey results also show that nearly 2 in 5 2023 holiday shoppers (39%) feel pressure to spend more on buying gifts than they’re comfortable spending this year, and 12% of 2023 holiday shoppers say they will likely use some of their emergency savings to buy ...Gillette Stadium death: Police seeking assault charges against 3 Rhode Island men
