PM Modi joins world leaders in condemning US Capitol siege

Heads of governments around the world condemned the siege attempt of US Capitol, which houses the Congress - House of Representatives and Senate -, by supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump, to halt the counting of Electoral College votes ahead of the inauguration of president-elect Joe Biden on January 20.

World leaders reacted with concern via Twitter, describing the chaotic scenes as "disturbing" and "horrible." Prime Minister Narendra Modi also joined the world leaders in expressing shock over the incident.

"Distressed to see news about rioting and violence in Washington DC.

Orderly and peaceful transfer of power must continue.

The democratic process cannot be allowed to be subverted through unlawful protests," PM Modi tweeted.

‘...Miscarriage of Justice’: Trump Blasts Biden’s Pardon of Hunter, ‘Does it Include J-6 Hostages?’

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, calling it a “miscarriage of justice.” Trump questioned whether the pardon would extend to individuals detained in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot, who have been imprisoned for years. The pardon covers Hunter Biden’s felony convictions for tax evasion and purchasing a gun while lying about drug use. The move, which follows a previous denial by Biden, has sparked a heated debate, particularly as Biden had ruled out such a decision earlier. Trump’s comments emphasize the political nature of the pardon and highlight ongoing concerns about the legal implications of the January 6 riot. #TrumpVsBiden #HunterBidenPardon #MiscarriageOfJustice #J6Hostages #PardonControversy #BidenPardon #JusticeDebate #PoliticalJustice #BidenFamily #TrumpCriticism #HunterBiden #January6Riots #CapitolRiotPrisoners #USPolitics #LegalDebate ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.336~GR.125~

Trump Triumphs Again: U.S President Elect's ‘Deranged’ Prosecutor Jack Smith Drops Charges

U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed to drop federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump, reversing course on two high-profile cases. Smith, who led the Justice Department’s efforts in election interference and classified documents cases, charged Trump in 2023 with four felony counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruct an official proceeding. Smith’s motion emphasizes that Justice Department policy prohibits criminal prosecution of a sitting president, regardless of the severity of the charges.Trump faced allegations of pressuring election officials to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and inciting the January 6 Capitol riots. Despite the dropped charges, the government maintains confidence in its evidence and legal merits. Smith, who Trump has publicly criticized as “crooked” and a “lunatic,” is expected to resign before Trump’s January 2025 inauguration. Meanwhile, Trump’s sentencing in a separate New York case has been postponed indefinitely, signaling further legal uncertainties ahead. #TrumpChargesDropped #JackSmith #USPolitics #DonaldTrump #ElectionInterference #JusticeDepartment #CapitolRiots #BidenVictory #PresidentialTransition #LegalBattle ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

House Passes Stopgap Funding Bill to Avert Shutdown; Senate Vote & Biden’s Approval Next

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions. #GovernmentShutdown #StopgapFunding #HouseVote #DisasterRelief #FarmAid #DebtLimit #SenateApproval #PresidentBiden #RepublicanLeadership #TrumpOpposition #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Government Shutdown: What It Means for Federal Employees and Social Security Payments :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-shutdown-impacts-on-federal-employees-011-4021087.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's New Demands Result in Collapse of Bipartisan Government Funding Plan Ahead of Deadline :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-funding-plan-collapses-trump-demands-011-4020029.html?ref=DMDesc US Congress Approves Temporary Funding Bill to Prevent Government Shutdown Until December :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-congress-passes-temporary-funding-bill-avoid-shutdown-011-3945067.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.362~GR.125~

Trump Rejects Bipartisan Deal, Pushes Dangerous New Proposal: Govt. Shutdown Days Before Christmas?

As the deadline to prevent a government shutdown rapidly approaches, former President Donald Trump has dismissed a bipartisan agreement between Republicans and Democrats. Trump pushed for a controversial new deal that includes a three-month government funding extension and a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, a proposal that was swiftly rejected by the House of Representatives. With crucial public services and federal workers at risk, Congress must act fast to avoid a shutdown.
