Verificación de hechos: la comparación interesada de Trump con el escándalo de los correos electrónicos clasificados de Hillary Clinton en 2016

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:25 GMT

(CNN) — El expresidente de Estados Unidos Donald Trump ha comparado repetidamente y de manera inexacta su acusación federal con la investigación del correo electrónico de Hillary Clinton que terminó sin cargos, alegando un trato injusto.Trump invocó a Clinton por última vez este martes por la noche durante una recaudación de fondos llena de mentiras en su club de golf en Bedminster, Nueva Jersey, horas después de su comparecencia ante un tribunal federal. Esta línea de ataque engañosa es un estribillo común en sus eventos públicos, y también para algunos de sus oponentes en las primarias presidenciales republicanas de 2024.Los hechos primero: Esta es una comparación inexacta y egoísta. Sin duda, los investigadores encontraron problemas con la forma en que tanto Trump como Clinton manejaron el material clasificado, y ambos engañaron al público sobre su conducta. Pero hay varias diferencias importantes que se inclinan a favor de Clinton. Trump manejó mal mucho más material clasi...

EU judges quash Remainer hopes of scrapping Brexit deal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:25 GMT

It’s another cold shower for the anti-Brexiteers. On Thursday morning the EU’s top court dismissed the latest long-shot Remainer dream of turning back the clock on Brexit.The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) dismissed two different appeals by British activists seeking to scrap the Brexit deal following what they claimed was a loss of EU rights.British citizens cannot spend more than 90 days in every 180 days in Europe and can’t vote or run for office in local elections unless they also have an EU citizenship.A group of British citizens living in the U.K. and in the EU blamed this on the Council of the EU’s decision to green-light the Brexit deal.“The appellants claim that the decision at issue deprived them of the status of EU citizens and of the rights attaching to that status,” reads the text from the court in Luxembourg.But the EU’s top judges ruled that the loss of rights was caused by the Brexit referendum — not by European countries rubber stamping the Withd...

KALAMATA, Greece (AP) — Rescue workers transferred the bodies of dead migrants to refrigerated trucks as a major search continued Thursday for possible survivors of a sea disaster in southern Greece. Hundreds of people are still feared missing.At least 78 bodies have been recovered after a fishing boat crammed with migrants seeking to make it from Libya to Italy capsized and sank a day earlier in deep waters off the Greek coast.Rescuers saved 104 passengers — including Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Afghans and Palestinians, mostly men and including eight minors — but authorities fear that hundreds of others may have been trapped below deck.
