FBI found intel on foreign govt's nuclear readiness at Trump home: report
13 Sept 13:21Key points summarised by AI
FBI agents discovered a highly classified document at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence detailing a foreign power's nuclear capabilities and military defenses.
The seized documents were exceptionally sensitive, requiring special 'need-to-know' clearances, typically authorized only by the president or top cabinet officials.
Trump faces mounting legal pressure, with the Justice Department indicating classified materials were 'likely concealed' to obstruct the FBI's investigation into his handling of these documents.
The August 8 raid followed months of back-and-forth with the National Archives, as Trump's team initially failed to return all classified records, leading the FBI to uncover additional hidden documents.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
