Prosecutors must return evidence seized from a key figure in the dismissed criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey, but the U.S. Department of Justice can seek a new warrant for the information, a federal judge has ruled. The ruling is at least a temporary setback for prosecutors mulling another attempt to charge Comey, one of President Donald Trump’s critics whom the DOJ has sought to prosecute. A lawyer for Richman declined to comment on Saturday. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington ruled that while prosecutors must return files seized from Daniel Richman, a law professor and former…

Aubrey and her wife are preparing to leave the United States for Costa Rica in January – a decision they haven’t taken lightly, after building a life as homeowners in upstate New York. She says months of unease about the political climate in the United States – from debates over LGBT rights to concerns about basic safety – finally tipped them into making a plan to leave. Her story could be far from unique, according to a recent survey by US analytics firm Gallup, which suggests 40% of American women aged 15 to 44 would move abroad if they had…

The Metropolitan Police has said it will “take no further action” over claims Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor asked his police protection officer for information on accuser Virginia Giuffre. The allegations, first reported in the Mail on Sunday in October, said the then-prince gave the officer Ms Giuffre’s date of birth and social security number, just before the paper published a photo of the pair meeting in February 2011. On Saturday, the Met said a further assessment “has not revealed any additional evidence of criminal acts or misconduct”. Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has not commented on the reports, but has consistently denied all allegations against…

The US has lifted sanctions on a Brazilian judge who led investigations into Jair Bolsonaro, days after a bill which would cut the former president’s jail sentence passed a major hurdle. Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup after he lost the 2022 election, but would see his term cut to less than three years under a move pushed by conservative lawmakers. President Donald Trump has previously described the investigation into Bolsonaro as a “witch hunt”, and Brazilian Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes was placed on a US sanctions list in July. Those sanctions were lifted…
