(Reuters) - Donald Trump faced a new raft of felony charges on Tuesday after a Georgia grand jury used a law developed to take down organized crime gangs to charge the former U.S. president with trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

The charges, brought on Monday by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charge Trump & 18 associates for a scheme intended to reverse his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

The indictment listed 19 defendants & 41 criminal counts in all. All the defendants were charged with racketeering, which is used to target members of organized crime groups & carries a minimum penalty of 5 years in prison.

Mark Meadows, Trump's former White House chief of staff & lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis & John Eastman were among those charged.

Trump & the other defendants have until noon Friday, Aug. 25, to surrender voluntarily, rather than face arrest. Willis said she intends to try all 19 defendants together within 6 months.

Trump called the indictment a "witch hunt" & accused Willis of trying to sabotage his presidential comeback bid.

He said he would release a report on Monday on "Presidential Election Fraud" that would exonerate him. 

Since his defeat in 2020, Trump has repeatedly made false claims that the election was marred by widespread fraud. Those claims have been rejected by dozens of courts, state reviews & members of his own administration.

In a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call, Trump urged Georgia's top election official, Brad Raffensperger, to "find" enough votes to reverse his narrow loss in the state. Raffensperger declined.

Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol 4 days later in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent lawmakers from certifying Biden's victory.

A submersible carrying 5 people to the Titanic imploded near the site of the shipwreck & killed everyone on board, authorities said Thursday, bringing a tragic end to a saga that included an urgent around-the-clock search & a worldwide vigil for the missing vessel.

The sliver of hope that remained for finding the 5 men alive was wiped away early Thursday, when the submersible’s 96-hour supply of oxygen was expected to run out & the Coast Guard announced that debris had been found roughly 1,600 feet from the Titanic in North Atlantic waters.

OceanGate Expeditions, the company that owned & operated the submersible, said that all 5 people in the vessel, including CEO & pilot Stockton Rush, “have sadly been lost.”

The others on board were: 2 members of a prominent Pakistani family, Shahzada Dawood & his son Suleman Dawood; British adventurer Hamish Harding & Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet.

OceanGate has been chronicling the Titanic’s decay & the underwater ecosystem around it via yearly voyages since 2021.

The Titan launched at 6 a.m. Sunday & was reported overdue Sunday afternoon about 435 miles south of St. John’s, Newfoundland, as it was on its way to where the Titanic sank more than a century ago. By Thursday, when the oxygen supply was expected to run out, there was little hope of finding the crew alive.

CLEVELAND, Texas (ABC13) -- The FBI is helping in the manhunt for a gunman accused of shooting & killing 5 people -- including a child -- at a Cleveland, Texas, home after neighbors asked him to stop firing his rifle outdoors.

"We consider him armed & dangerous," FBI Houston Special Agent in Charge James Smith said. "He's out there & he's a threat to the community."

Francisco Oropesa, 38, fled after the shooting Friday night.

Investigators found clothes & a phone while combing a rural area that includes dense layers of the forest, but tracking dogs lost the scent.

Police recovered the AR-15-style rifle that Oropesa allegedly used in the shootings, but authorities were not sure if he was carrying another weapon, the sheriff said.

"He could be anywhere now," Capers said.

The attack happened near the town of Cleveland, north of Houston, on a street where some residents say neighbors often unwind by firing off guns.

The victims were between the ages of 8 & 31 years old & that all were believed to be from Honduras. All were shot "from the neck up."

The victims were identified as Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25; Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 21; Julisa Molina Rivera, 31; Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18; & Daniel Enrique Laso, 8. They were all believed to be living in the house, but were not members of a single family, according to the FBI.

CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico (AP) — Someone claiming to be the Mexican drug cartel allegedly responsible for the abduction of 4 Americans & the killing of 2 of them has condemned the violence & purportedly turned over its own members who were involved to authorities.

In a letter obtained by The Associated Press, the Scorpions faction of the Gulf cartel allegedly responsible for abducting the Americans apologized to the residents of Matamoros, the Mexican woman who died in the shooting & the & Americans & their families.

Drug cartels have been known to issue communiques to intimidate rivals & authorities, but also at times like these to do some public relations work to try to smooth over situations that could affect their business.

“We have decided to turn over those who were directly involved and responsible in the events, who at all times acted under their own decision-making & lack of discipline,” the letter reads, adding that those individuals had gone against the cartel’s rules, which include “respecting the life & well-being of the innocent.”

A photograph of 5 men face down on the pavement & bound accompanied the letter, which was shared with The AP by the source on condition that they remain anonymous because they were not authorized to share the document.

A separate state security official said that 5 men had been found tied up inside one of the vehicles that authorities had been searching for, along with the letter. 

Last Friday, 4 Americans crossed into Matamoros from Texas so that 1 of them could get a cosmetic surgery procedure. Around midday they were fired on & then loaded into a pickup truck.

Authorities located them Tuesday, guarded by a man who was arrested. Two of the Americans were dead, & was wounded & the other was unharmed.

March 7 (Reuters) - Five women who said they were denied abortions despite grave risk to their lives or fetuses sued Texas on Monday, in the first apparent case of pregnant women suing over curbs imposed after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June.

The lawsuit asks a state court in Austin, the state's capital, for a ruling clarifying that a doctor cannot be prosecuted for providing an abortion if, in the doctor's good faith judgment, the abortion is necessary to treat an emergency that threatens a pregnant patient's life or health.

Texas, like most of the 13 states with abortion bans, allows exceptions when a physician finds that there is a medical emergency. But the lawsuit, backed by the abortion rights group Center for Reproductive Rights, says that the law is unclear, leading doctors to refuse to perform abortions even when the exception should apply for fear of losing their licenses and facing up to 99 years in prison.

Texas banned abortion shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its landmark 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed abortion rights nationwide.

Four of the women in Monday's lawsuit had to travel out of state to obtain abortions in order to avoid serious medical complications. A fifth was hospitalized in Texas with a premature rupture of membranes, which meant that her fetus could not be saved, but was not given an abortion until she developed a severe infection that required her to stay in an intensive care unit, according to the complaint.

A Tennessee restaurant owned by hip hop star Yo Gotti is the site of a mass shooting that's killed 2 people & left at least 5 others injured.

Cops were called to Prive restaurant in Memphis around 11:30 PM Wednesday after a barrage of gunfire erupted in the parking lot, following a confrontation inside the restaurant that eventually spilled outside.

We're told one man was found dead in the parking lot & the other passed away at a hospital.

Police say 4 other men & 1 woman were also sprayed with bullets. All of them were driven in private vehicles to hospitals for treatment. Their conditions were not released.

While Gotti does own Prive, a source tells us he was not in Memphis last night & none of his family members are among the victims.

The assailant or assailants fled & are still at large. Police have not said what triggered the initial altercation.

Images surfaced online showing officers investigating the scene with crime tape around the perimeter of the restaurant & patrol cars parked in front.

You might recall, Prive was temporarily closed in November 2021 for fear of retaliation violence after rapper Young Dolph was murdered about 10 miles away in Memphis. Police officers stood guard outside the establishment, but nothing happened.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The gunman who killed 3 students & wounded 5 at Michigan State University was a 43-year-old with a previous gun violation who fatally shot himself after an hourslong manhunt that ended in a confrontation with police miles from campus, officials said Tuesday.

Investigators still were sorting out why Anthony McRae fired inside an academic building & the student union shortly before 8:30 p.m. Monday. 

“We have absolutely no idea what the motive was,” said Chris Rozman, deputy chief of campus police, adding that McRae, was not a student or Michigan State employee.

The dead & injured in the gunfire at Berkey Hall & the MSU Union, a popular place to eat & study, all were students, Rozman said. 5 remained in critical condition at Sparrow Hospital.

Michigan State has about 50,000 students, including 19,000 who live on the suburban East Lansing campus. As hundreds of officers scoured the campus, about 90 miles northwest of Detroit, students hid where they could Monday night.

During that time, police released a photo of the suspect & an “alert citizen” recognized him.

Police confronted McRae about 5 miles from campus in an industrial area, where he killed himself.

McRae was on probation for 18 months until May 2021 for possessing a loaded, concealed gun without a permit.

An 8-month-old boy who, investigators say, was seriously injured at the hands of his mother who is also facing murder charges in the deaths of his 2 siblings, has died.

Lindsay Clancy, 32, is accused of killing her 5-year-old daughter, Cora Clancy & 3-year-old son, Dawson Clancy, in their home Tuesday night. Her 8-month-old son, Callan, was injured & flown to a Boston area hospital, where he died Friday morning.

First responders rushed to the home at 47 Summer St. in Duxbury just after 6 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a 911 call from Lindsay Clancy's husband. The man reported the attempted suicide of his wife, who had jumped out of a window in the home.

First responders discovered the 3 children unconscious inside the home with obvious signs of trauma. 

The mother, who investigators said will be charged with 3 counts of murder & 3 counts each of strangulation & assault & battery with a deadly weapon, jumped out of a window of the Duxbury home & remains hospitalized in police custody.

Authorities would not comment on whether any mental illness may have played a role in the homicides or if there was any mental health history.

A spokesperson for Massachusetts General Hospital confirmed Clancy is an employee.

ENOCH, Utah (KUTV) — Eight people were found dead inside an Iron County home Wednesday.

Police were called to the area in Enoch in reference to a welfare check.

When officers arrived, they checked inside the residence & found 3 adults & 5 minors deceased inside the home.

"Each appeared to have sustained gunshot wounds," an Enoch City press release stated.

Police said there was no threat to the public & they do not believe there were any suspects at large.

The incident remained under investigation.

Dotson said it was hard to describe in words the emotions that were going through the people that live in the area.

"We all know this family. Many of us have served with them in church & community & gone to school with these individuals & so this community at this time is hurting; they're feeling loss, they're feeling pain, they have a lot of questions," Dotson said.

AP — 5 Louisiana officers were charged Thursday with state crimes in the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene.

Facing the most serious charge was Kory York, who was seen on the body-camera footage dragging Greene by his ankle shackles, putting his foot on his back to force him down & leaving the heavyset man face down in the dirt for more than 9 minutes. The state police’s own force instructor called the troopers’ actions “torture & murder.” York was charged with negligent homicide & 10 counts of malfeasance in office.

The others who faced various counts of malfeasance & obstruction included a trooper who denied the existence of his body-camera footage, another who exaggerated Greene’s resistance on the scene, a commander who detectives say pressured them not to make an arrest in the case & a deputy heard on the video taunting Greene with the words “s—- hurts, doesn’t it?”

Greene’s May 10, 2019, death was shrouded in secrecy from the beginning. Authorities told grieving relatives that the 49-year-old died in a car crash at the end of a high-speed chase. An account questioned by both his family & an emergency room doctor who noted Greene’s battered body. Still, a coroner’s report listed Greene’s cause of death as a motor vehicle accident, a state police crash report omitted any mention of troopers using force.

Body-camera video remained so secret it was withheld from Greene’s initial autopsy & officials declined requests to release it.

Last year, the AP obtained the footage, which showed what really happened: Troopers swarming Greene’s car, stunning him repeatedly, punching him in the head, dragging him by the shackles. At times, Greene could be heard pleading for mercy & wailing, “I’m your brother! I’m scared!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — More than 150 years after slaves were freed in the U.S., voters in 5 states will soon decide whether to close loopholes that led to the proliferation of a different form of slavery — forced labor by people convicted of certain crimes.

None of the proposals would force immediate changes inside the states’ prisons, though they could lead to legal challenges related to how they use prison labor, a lasting imprint of slavery’s legacy on the entire United States.

The effort is part of a national push to amend the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that banned enslavement or involuntary servitude except as a form of criminal punishment. That exception has long permitted the exploitation of labor by convicted felons.

“The idea that you could ever finish the sentence ‘slavery’s okay when ... ’ has to rip out your soul & I think it’s what makes this a fight that ignores political lines & brings us together, because it feels so clear,” said Bianca Tylek, executive director of Worth Rises, a criminal justice advocacy group pushing to remove the amendment’s convict labor clause.

Nearly 20 states have constitutions that include language permitting slavery & involuntary servitude as criminal punishments. In 2018, Colorado was the first to remove the language from its founding frameworks by ballot measure, followed by Nebraska & Utah 2 years later.

This November, versions of the question go before voters in Alabama, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee & Vermont.

Sen. Raumesh Akbari, a Democrat from Memphis, was shocked when a fellow lawmaker told her about the slavery exception in the Tennessee Constitution & immediately began working to replace the language.

“When I found out that this exception existed, I thought, ‘We have got to fix this & we’ve got to fix this right away,’” she said. “Our constitution should reflect the values & the beliefs of our state.”

A woman who made 10 false rape claims against 2 men, triggering 60 lines of investigation, has been jailed.

Cathy Richardson was slammed by Essex Police for perverting the course of justice, wasting their time & doing a ‘disservice’ to real victims of sexual crimes.

The 35-year-old made a series of allegations against the men between January & May 2021.

These led to dozens of investigations & 1 man being arrested & subjected to a forensic examination.

CCTV, phone data & information from ANPR cameras later proved the alleged attacker was not in the area at the time Richardson claimed the assaults took place.

One of the men even agreed to have a GPS tracking tag fitted to his ankle, which would send an alarm to police if it was taken off.

Data from the tag was analyzed and showed he was not in the area when an alleged attack supposedly happened.

Detective Inspector James Holmes said: ‘Whenever an allegation of rape or sexual assault comes to us, our starting point is to believe the person making that claim. They are awful offences & have a massive impact on those who’ve experienced them & we have specialist officers & staff who support them & investigate.

‘However, it quickly became clear the allegations Richardson had made were not what they seemed.

‘Her claims do a great disservice to victims of rape & sexual assault who need our help and support.'

Richardson was arrested & later charged with perverting the course of justice. She admitted 10 counts at Salisbury Crown Court & was sentenced to 5 years & 1 month in prison.
