In a badly needed — albeit temporary — victory for women's reproductive rights, Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Christian Jenkins said the abortion ban is written “to almost completely eliminate the rights of Ohio women” and rebuffed the GOP-controlled state’s argument that the state constitution doesn’t protect abortion because it doesn’t explicitly mention it.
Trump-era special counsel John H. Durham going out with a whimper after years-long investigation into the origin of the so-called Steele dossier
Durham set off political reverberations last year when he unveiled a lengthy indictment of an analyst he accused of lying to the FBI about sources for the Steele dossier, but the trial now appears likely to be shorter and less politically salient than the Trump-era appointee suggested it would be.
