Now back with their seven-year-old son, Prince…

The court’s order will primarily benefit Republicans, who generally raise more money through party committees than Democrats. Over the dissent of liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the…

It came after the jury said they could not reach a unanimous verdict on whether Clancy was guilty of murder. The declaration opens the door to a host of possibilities about what happens next.
