Ta'Kiya Young's family urges officer's arrest after video shows him killing the pregnant Black woman

Ta’Kiya Young’s family wants the police officer who fatally shot the pregnant Black woman to be charged COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio authorities on Friday released bodycam video showing a police officer fatally shooting Ta’Kiya Young in her car in what her family denounced as a “gross misuse of power and authority” against the pregnant Black mother.

The firm lists Melania Trump as a client on its website. The super PAC's filing showed two payments to the firm -- one which came on Dec. 2, 2021, in the amount of $30,000, and the next payment the following day, in the amount of $125,000. But Trump's financial disclosure shows the super PAC's p...

A new financial disclosure report filed by Donald Trump shows that the former president has doubled his number of Business holdings since leaving the White House. The 101-page disclosure report, filed with the Federal Election Commission as part of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, details his personal wealth and income since January of 2022 and offers a first look at the state of his vast Business interests since he returned to private life. The report, which was filed weeks late even after Trump was given two 45-day extensions, shows that Trump has acquired hundreds of new assets -- but it's unclear exactly how the former president's businesses have been faring because much of financial information is only reported in broad ranges, per FEC requirements.
