By Tierney Sneed and Devan Cole | CNNA jury was seated Tuesday in former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro’s criminal contempt of Congress trial, marking the start of what’s expected to be a speedy trial for the one-time aide to former President Donald Trump.Over the course of more than seven hours, dozens of prospective jurors were peppered with questions by US District Judge Amit Mehta, who is overseeing the case, as well as prosecutors and an attorney for Navarro.The chosen jury is comprised of a diverse set of people in Washington, DC, including government consultants, a contractor for NASA, someone who works in mental health services and a few retirees. Many of them said they were vaguely aware of the House January 6, 2021, committee’s work but that they didn’t think it would impact their ability to serve objectively.Both sides are expected to give their opening statements Wednesday morning, and the trial will likely be a quick one.

SAN FRANCISCO — A former schoolteacher has been sentenced to federal prison for receiving explicit selfies from minors, crimes that were only discovered when the defendant’s significant other was investigated for similar conduct.U.S. District Judge Susan Illston last month sentenced Charles Barrett, of San Francisco, to five years in prison and three years supervised release. Barrett’s sentencing came weeks after a different judge sentenced Marc Nunez, Barrett’s husband, to one year behind bars.Prosecutors said in a sentencing memo that the crimes dated back to 2013 and 2014, when Barrett allegedly encouraged teen boys to send him explicit images of themselves. Authorities say he received nine images from one boy who stated he was 16, and at least one image from another 16-year-old boy. Barrett also sent the second boy explicit images of himself, prosecutors said.At the beginning of the prosecution, in 2022, prosecutors said one of the victims told police tha...61 indicted on charges related to ‘Stop Cop City’ in Ga.

By R.J. Rico | Associated PressATLANTA — Sixty-one people have been indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges following a long-running state investigation into protests against a planned police and firefighter training facility in the Atlanta area that critics call “Cop City.”In the sweeping indictment released Tuesday, Republican Attorney General Chris Carr alleged the defendants are “militant anarchists” who supported a violent movement that prosecutors trace to the widespread 2020 racial justice protests.The Aug. 29 indictment is the latest application of the state’s anti-racketeering law, also known as a RICO law, and comes just weeks after the Fulton County prosecutor used the statute to charge former President Donald Trump and 18 other defendants.The “Stop Cop City” effort has gone on for more than two years and at times veered into vandalism and violence.
