		<description><![CDATA[Ghislaine Maxwell declined to answer any questions during a closed-door, virtual deposition with the House Oversight Committee on Monday, repeatedly invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination as lawmakers pressed her about Jeffrey Epstein and possible accomplices. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of helping Epstein recruit, groom, and abuse underage girls over a period of years. Epstein died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex trafficking offenses connected to Epstein, appeared remotely from a minimum-security prison in Texas. Her refusal to testify had been widely anticipated, given that she has a legal petition pending in federal court seeking to overturn her conviction or reduce her sentence. House Oversight Chairman James Comer confirmed Maxwell’s stance afterward, telling reporters, “As expected, Ghislaine Maxwell took the Fifth and refused to answer any questions. This obviously is very disappointing.” He added that she had an opportunity to address questions central to the committee’s probe but chose not to cooperate. Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, delivered a prepared statement to the panel explaining that his client could not speak while her court challenge remains active. However, he said Maxwell would be willing to testify if granted clemency by President Trump. Markus claimed that, under those circumstances, she would provide full testimony and asserted, “For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing.” Comer rejected the idea of immunity or clemency, saying, “[I] don’t think she should be granted any type of immunity or clemency.” Ranking Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia was equally critical, stating, “After months of defying our subpoena, Ghislaine Maxwell finally appeared before the Oversight Committee and said nothing.” Garcia accused Maxwell of shielding others and described her appearance as unremorseful. The deposition capped a months-long effort by the committee, which first subpoenaed Maxwell in July 2025. The session came the same day members of Congress were granted access to unredacted versions of Epstein-related files recently released by the Justice Department under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Maxwell’s silence before Congress contrasted with her two-day interview last summer with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, during which she answered questions under limited immunity. According to sources familiar with that interview, she denied witnessing or participating in criminal conduct by prominent political figures. The Oversight Committee’s investigation is continuing, with several more depositions scheduled, including testimony from…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[British police are reviewing allegations that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, passed sensitive government trade information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as the U.K.’s special representative for international trade. Thames Valley Police, which covers Windsor and its surrounding areas, confirmed Monday that it is examining claims stemming from newly released U.S. Justice Department documents tied to Epstein. The force said: “We can confirm receipt of this report and are assessing the information in line with our established procedures.” The allegations center on emails from 2010 and 2011 that appear to show Mountbatten-Windsor forwarding confidential reports and briefings to Epstein shortly after receiving them from his staff. The material includes summaries of official trade visits to Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, as well as a Christmas Eve briefing on investment opportunities linked to the reconstruction of Helmand Province in Afghanistan. In one instance, documents sent by his special adviser were reportedly forwarded to Epstein within minutes. Under the terms governing the role of trade envoy, officials are bound by strict confidentiality rules that extend beyond their time in office and may fall under the Official Secrets Acts. Mountbatten-Windsor held the post from 2001 to 2011. The matter was reported to police by Graham Smith, chief executive of the anti-monarchy group Republic, which has also said it has asked lawyers to consider a private prosecution related to alleged misconduct in public office. Smith argued the claims mirror similar allegations involving other public figures named in the Epstein files. The renewed scrutiny follows the release of millions of pages of Epstein-related documents by U.S. authorities, intensifying focus on Mountbatten-Windsor’s long-standing relationship with the financier, which continued even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein. Additionally, the fallout has further strained ties with the royal family. King Charles III stripped his younger brother of royal titles last year and recently required him to vacate Royal Lodge near Windsor Castle. He is now living temporarily on the king’s privately owned Sandringham estate. Buckingham Palace said King Charles remains deeply troubled by the allegations. A palace spokesperson said “The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct. While the specific claims in question are for Mr Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jutta Leerdam delivered a historic performance at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games, clinching the gold medal in the women’s 1,000 meters with a new Olympic record and leading a dominant showing for the Netherlands. Leerdam, skating in the final pairing, clocked 1:12.31 which erased the previous record and secured her first Olympic gold medal. Leerdam, a two-time world champion at the distance, faced defending Olympic champion Miho Takagi of Japan in the last heat. With a roaring sea of orange filling the stands, she maintained a smooth, controlled pace and pulled away late, finishing 0.28 seconds ahead of teammate Femke Kok. Kok took silver after briefly holding the Olympic record with a 1:12.59 earlier in the competition, while Takagi settled for bronze. The race marked the Netherlands’ first gold medal of the Games and continued a trend of record-breaking performances, with three Olympic records already set in speedskating at the temporary Milan venue. American skaters Brittany Bowe and Erin Jackson narrowly missed the podium. Bowe, the world-record holder in the 1,000 meters, finished fourth, while Jackson placed sixth after briefly holding the early lead. Both will have another chance in the 500 meters later in the Games, with Jackson aiming to defend her Olympic title and Bowe skating in what she has said will be her final Olympic appearance. The victory was especially emotional for Leerdam, who was competing in her second Olympics. She added the gold to the silver medal she earned in Beijing in 2022. After crossing the line, she collapsed against the barrier emotionally and blew kisses toward the stands, where her fiancé, boxer and internet personality Jake Paul, watched in tears. Leerdam now turns her focus to the 500 meters, where she will look to add to an already decorated career that includes 12 world championship medals, six of them gold.

		<description><![CDATA[The Boston Red Sox announced a six-player deal with the Milwaukee Brewers just ahead of spring training. The centerpiece of the trade is third baseman Caleb Durbin, who arrives in Boston after a standout rookie season, while left-hander Kyle Harrison headlines the return to Milwaukee. Along with Durbin, the Red Sox also picked up infielder Andruw Monasterio, utility player Anthony Seigler, and a Competitive Balance Round B draft pick (67th overall). In exchange, Boston sent Harrison, infielder David Hamilton, and left-hander Shane Drohan to the Brewers. The trade came together after Boston explored other options, including Houston’s Isaac Paredes, but talks ultimately centered on Durbin and Harrison. Harrison, 24, was once viewed as one of baseball’s top left-handed pitching prospects and had been available in trade discussions all winter due to Boston’s pitching depth. Since debuting in 2023, he owns a 9-9 record with a 4.39 ERA across nearly 195 major-league innings. Acquired earlier in the Rafael Devers deal, Harrison now gets a fresh start with a Brewers organization known for developing young arms. Durbin, 25, emerged as Milwaukee’s primary third baseman last season and finished third in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He posted a .256/.334/.387 line with 11 home runs, 53 RBIs, 18 stolen bases, and solid defense, while also seeing time at second base and shortstop. His arrival helps Boston move on from its pursuit of Alex Bregman, who signed with the Chicago Cubs in free agency, and provides infield flexibility alongside young talent like Marcelo Mayer. Milwaukee adds needed rotation depth with Harrison joining a group led by Brandon Woodruff, Jacob Misiorowski, and Quinn Priester, while also competing with several young pitchers for innings. Drohan, 27, adds further pitching depth after a strong minor league season, and Hamilton brings speed and defensive reliability, though he slots in behind Platinum Glove second baseman Brice Turang. From Boston’s side, Monasterio gives the club a versatile, high-energy option who hit .270/.319/.437 last season while playing all four infield positions and even logging time in left field. Seigler, a former first-round pick, provides organizational depth after splitting time between catcher and third base. The draft pick boosts Boston’s bonus pool by roughly $1.3 million.

The tour kicks-off June 2nd at Place Bell in Montreal, QC with stops including Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, TD Garden in Boston, Madison Square Garden in New York City, and Bridgestone Arena in Nashville before wrapping up July 3 in Salt Lake City. Groban shared in a statement: “Performing live has always been one of the greatest joys of my life, and getting to share these nights with Jennifer, someone I admire so deeply, makes it all the more special. These shows are going to be emotional, celebratory, and full of surprises. I can’t wait to see everyone this summer.” Groban had previously announced his first world tour in ten years, the 2026 Gems World Tour.  That 21-city trek will kick off Feb. 7 in Honolulu, making stops in Taipei, Singapore, Jakarta, Manila, Tokyo, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Bahrain, Dubai, Dublin, London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Düsseldorf before wrapping in Amsterdam.    A press release stated that the upcoming tour “will feature a career-spanning production showcasing signature hits from Gems, all delivered with the powerful vocals and intimate storytelling that define Groban’s live performances.” Groban shared in a statement at the time “It is with the greatest excitement that I get to take these songs I’ve loved so much around the world – to places I haven’t visited in far too long and to places I’ve always wanted to visit. I’m honored to see the world through music. I can’t wait to see everyone soon!” In support of arts education nationwide, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Find Your Light Foundation, founded by Groban.  Visit www.joshgroban.com for more information.

		<description><![CDATA[Seattle’s punishing defense set the tone from start to finish, powering the Seahawks to a convincing 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Behind constant pressure and timely takeaways, the Seahawks denied New England a record-setting seventh championship while earning revenge for their Super Bowl loss to the Patriots a decade earlier. Seattle closed the season 17-3, while New England finished 17-4. Drake Maye spent most of the night under siege as Seattle’s front repeatedly collapsed the pocket. The Seahawks recorded six sacks, intercepted Maye twice and forced a costly fumble. Linebacker Derick Hall and defensive tackle Byron Murphy each delivered two sacks, while Julian Love and Uchenna Nwosu came away with interceptions. Nwosu capped the defensive showcase by returning one pick 45 yards for a touchdown. “When you have a game plan, you know what you are going to do,” cornerback Devon Witherspoon said. “You know how you are going to execute it. You just got to go out there and play ball. That’s what makes us who we are. We trust each other to go out there and do our thing.” Seattle’s offense leaned heavily on Kenneth Walker III, who powered through arm tackles and finished with 161 yards from scrimmage. Walker was named Super Bowl LX MVP, becoming the first running back to earn the honor since Terrell Davis did it 28 years ago. Jason Myers quietly made history of his own, drilling all five of his field-goal attempts — from 33, 39, 41, 41 and 41 yards — to set a Super Bowl record. His three first-half kicks accounted for all the scoring before halftime, sending Seattle into the break with a 9-0 lead. The Seahawks extended the margin early in the second half with another Myers field goal, then finally broke through the end zone early in the fourth quarter when Sam Darnold found tight end A.J. Barner on a 16-yard touchdown pass. That score followed Hall’s strip-sack late in the third quarter, which gave Seattle a short field. Darnold wasn’t flashy but was steady, completing 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown without committing a turnover throughout the postseason. “To do this with this team, I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Darnold said. “So proud of our guys, our defense. I mean, I can’t say enough…]]></description>

Linebacker Derick Hall and defensive tackle Byron Murphy each delivered two sacks, while Julian Love and Uchenna Nwosu came away with interceptions. Nwosu capped the defensive showcase by returning one pick 45 yards for a touchdown. “When you have a game plan, you know what you are going to do,” cornerback Devon Witherspoon said. “You know how you are going to execute it. You just got to go out there and play ball. That’s what makes us who we are. We trust each other to go out there and do our thing.” Seattle’s offense leaned heavily on Kenneth Walker III, who powered through arm tackles and finished with 161 yards from scrimmage. Walker was named Super Bowl LX MVP, becoming the first running back to earn the honor since Terrell Davis did it 28 years ago. Jason Myers quietly made history of his own, drilling all five of his field-goal attempts — from 33, 39, 41, 41 and 41 yards — to set a Super Bowl record. His three first-half kicks accounted for all the scoring before halftime, sending Seattle into the break with a 9-0 lead. The Seahawks extended the margin early in the second half with another Myers field goal, then finally broke through the end zone early in the fourth quarter when Sam Darnold found tight end A.J. Barner on a 16-yard touchdown pass. That score followed Hall’s strip-sack late in the third quarter, which gave Seattle a short field. Darnold wasn’t flashy but was steady, completing 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown without committing a turnover throughout the postseason. “To do this with this team, I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Darnold said. “So proud of our guys, our defense. I mean, I can’t say enough…]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have issued a new, emotional public appeal as authorities continue searching for their mother, Nancy Guthrie, who investigators believe was abducted from her home near Tucson, Arizona. In a brief video shared late Saturday on social media, the ‘Today’ show co-anchor appeared alongside her brother Camron and sister Annie, directly addressing whoever may be holding their 84-year-old mother. “We received your message and we understand,” Guthrie said. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.” The message followed confirmation from federal and local officials that they are reviewing new communications related to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. Investigators have not publicly verified the authenticity of any alleged ransom notes, though multiple messages sent to media outlets are being treated seriously. One note reportedly included deadlines and a demand for payment, while others varied in content and did not provide proof of life. Law enforcement sources say Nancy Guthrie was last seen late on Jan. 31 after being dropped off at her home in the Catalina Foothills area following a family dinner. She was reported missing the next morning when she failed to attend church. Investigators believe she may have been taken overnight. A disconnected doorbell camera, a disrupted pacemaker app signal, and blood found on her porch have all been cited as key elements of the case. Despite extensive searches and ongoing forensic work — including examination of Guthrie’s vehicle and home — authorities have not identified a suspect or person of interest. Officials say they are developing information but caution that there are no imminent breakthroughs. Former FBI negotiators have noted that the family’s public messaging reflects a careful effort to keep communication open and emphasize a peaceful resolution. The FBI has announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s safe recovery or the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is urged to call the Pima County Sheriff’s tip line at 520-351-4900. Editorial credit: Kathy Hutchins / Shutterstock.com]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lindsey Vonn’s bid for history at the women’s downhill in Cortina, Italy, ended Sunday after a violent crash just seconds into her run that left her injured with a broken leg. Less than 13 seconds after leaving the start gate, the 41-year-old American clipped a gate on her first major jump, throwing her off balance and sending her careening sideways down the course. The race was halted for more than 20 minutes as medical teams rushed to her aid on the Olympia delle Tofane course, one of alpine skiing’s fastest and most dangerous venues, where racers routinely exceed 75 miles per hour. Broadcast audio briefly captured Vonn’s cries of pain following the fall, and the atmosphere at the finish area turned silent as spectators, including Vonn’s family, watched in shock. Vonn was placed on a stretcher and airlifted by helicopter to a hospital, where doctors confirmed she had fractured her left leg. According to the Associated Press, she later underwent surgery to stabilize the injury at Ca’ Foncello Hospital, where she received care from a multidisciplinary medical team. U.S. Ski & Snowboard confirmed in a statement, “Lindsey Vonn sustained an injury, but is in stable condition and in good hands with a team of American and Italian physicians.” Vonn was attempting to become the oldest woman to medal in Olympic downhill, the same event in which she won gold at the 2010 Vancouver Games. Her return to Olympic competition followed a long road back after retiring in 2019, aided by a 2024 partial knee replacement that allowed her to resume elite competition. Just nine days earlier, however, she tore her left ACL in Switzerland during a pre-Olympic race. Despite the risk, she chose to compete and completed training runs on the same course earlier in the week. While the mood remained somber, the race continued with American Breezy Johnson claiming the gold medal with a winning time of 1:36.10, edging Germany’s Emma Aicher by just .04 seconds. Italy’s Sofia Goggia took bronze, marking her third consecutive Olympic medal in the event. Johnson’s victory delivered the first gold medal for the United States at the Milan Cortina Games and made her only the second American woman to win Olympic downhill gold, joining Vonn. If this race proves to be Vonn’s final Olympic appearance, she leaves the sport as one of alpine skiing’s all-time greats. Over a career spanning nearly three decades,…]]></description>
