Trump says he’s ‘okay’ with serving potential jail time or house arrest after historic conviction

But, Trump added, "I don't think the public would stand it. I'm not sure the public would stand for it." "I think it would be tough for the public to take, you know, at a certain point, there's a breaking point," Trump said. His comments come just days after a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of all charges in his hush money trial, making him the first former president to be found guilty of a felony and the first major-party presidential nominee to be convicted of a crime in the midst of a campaign for the White House. Judge Juan Merchan set Trump's sentencing for July 11. Merchan could sentence Trump to probation or up to four years in state prison on each count, with a maximum of 20 years. For now, the former president remains out of prison as he awaits sentencing. H...

Rishi Sunak’s plan to make 18-year-olds do national service grabs attention on UK election trail

Rishi Sunak’s plan to make 18-year-olds do national service grabs attention on UK election trail

All 18-year-olds in Britain will have to perform a year of mandatory military or civilian national service if the governing Conservative Party wins the July 4 national election, the party has announced. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged on Sunday to bring back a form of national service for the first time in more than 60 years, seeking to energise his election campaign after a faltering start. The UK introduced military conscription for men and some women during World War II, and imposed 18 months of mandatory military service for men between 1947 and 1960. Since then Britain has had an all-volunteer military whose size has steadily shrunk. Britain's Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader Rishi Sunak reacts as he meets with veterans at a community breakfast duri...

Judge considers dismissing indictment against Alec Baldwin in fatal shooting of cinematographer

A New Mexico judge is considering Alec Baldwin's request to dismiss a grand jury indictment against him at a virtual court hearing on Friday. The indictment in January charged Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on October 21, 2021, at a movie ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe. Baldwin, a lead actor and co-producer on the Western Rust, has pleaded not guilty to the charge and his attorneys have urged dismissal. They have argued that prosecutors flouted the rules of grand jury proceedings to divert attention away from exculpatory evidence and witnesses. The involuntary manslaughter charge carries a maximum sentence of one and a half years in prison. During rehearsal, Baldwin was pointing a gun a...
