WASHINGTON — FBI agents who participated in investigations related to President Donald Trump have sued over Justice Department efforts to develop a list of employees involved in those inquiries that they fear could be a precursor to mass firings. Two lawsuits, filed Tuesday in federal court in Washington on behalf of anonymous agents, demand an immediate halt to the collection and potential dissemination of names of investigators who participated in probes of the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol as well as Trump’s hoarding of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The suits mark an escalation in a high-stake dispute…
A 26-year-old man was charged after investigators uncovered a warehouse on the Chicago’s West Side filled with $1 million worth of suspected stolen shoes, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office. Erick Lujano Bautista was allegedly subleasing a warehouse in the 1500 block of South Western Avenue, officials said. The sheriff’s department learned in January that a large number of shoes were being kept in that warehouse and, upon investigation, officials recovered about $1 million worth of Nike and New Balance shoes believed to have been stolen. Lujano Bautista was not an authorized seller of the shoes, police said. He…
GUATEMALA CITY — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he was exploring whether he can move forward with El Salvador’s offer to accept and jail violent American criminals in the “most severe cases” even as he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio both say it raises clear legal issues. Rubio reached an unusual agreement with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele a day earlier that the Central American country would accept U.S. deportees of any nationality, including American citizens and legal residents who are imprisoned for violent crimes. “I’m just saying if we had a legal right to do it, I would do it…
BEIJING — China announced retaliatory tariffs on select American imports and an antitrust investigation into Google on Tuesday, just minutes after a sweeping levy on Chinese products imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump took effect. American tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico were also set to go into effect Tuesday before Trump agreed to a 30-day pause, as the two countries acted to address his concerns about border security and drug trafficking. Trump planned to talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the coming days. “It is being scheduled and will happen very soon,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday.…
Christopher Clark announced Tuesday he withdrew his candidacy for Thornton Township supervisor to prioritize his current position as mayor of Harvey. “My unwavering commitment to the city of Harvey and its ongoing recovery demands my full attention, and I believe that prioritizing this effort is in the best interest of our community,” Clark wrote in a news release Tuesday. The decision came a little more than two months after Clark filed to run for the township supervisor seat under the Reform Thornton Township Party, and a day after attempts to remove Democratic nominee Napoleon Harris from the ballot were withdrawn.…
A City Council debate over whether a controversial pro-Gaza puppet display at the Chicago Cultural Center is antisemitic or a fair expression of free speech descended into disorder Tuesday, with an aldermanic ally of Mayor Brandon Johnson being told to leave the council chambers after he appeared to call another alderman a “white supremacist.” Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez, 25th, who last year was criticized for speaking at a protest rally where an American flag was burned, later Tuesday claimed he said the words “this is white supremacist” in the direction of Ald. Bill Conway, 34th, and didn’t direct his comments to…
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he’s given his advisers instructions to obliterate Iran if it assassinates him. “If they did that they would be obliterated,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters while signing an executive order calling for the U.S. government to impose maximum pressure on Tehran. “I’ve left instructions if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left.” Federal authorities have been tracking Iranian threats against Trump and other administration officials for years. Trump ordered the 2020 killing of Qassem Soleimani, who led the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force. A…
WASHINGTON — Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination to be President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence cleared a key Senate committee Tuesday despite concerns raised about her past comments sympathetic to Russia and a meeting with Syria’s now-deposed leader. A former Democratic congresswoman, Gabbard is one of Trump’s most divisive nominees, with lawmakers of both parties also pointing to her past support for government leaker Edward Snowden. But the Senate Intelligence Committee advanced her nomination in a closed-door 9-8 vote, with the committee’s Democrats voting no. Gabbard’s nomination now heads to the full Senate for consideration. A vote has not been scheduled…

MANILA, Philippines — U.S. and Philippine fighter aircraft staged a joint patrol and training Tuesday over a disputed South China Sea shoal where Chinese fighter jets fired flares last year to drive away a Philippine aircraft, Philippine officials said. The joint patrol and air-intercept drills over the hotly disputed Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines were the first by the longtime treaty allies since U.S. President Donald Trump took office again. Trump’s “America First” foreign policy thrust has sparked concerns among Washington’s allies in Asia about the scale and depth of U.S. commitment to the region in his new term.…
