SANTA CLARA — As the hours ticked down before Taylor Swift took the stage, thousands of fans that successfully battled it out for a seat inside the Bay Area’s first sold out Eras Tour concert, started partying outside Levi’s Stadium gates.Swifties decked out in friendship bracelets, temporary “13” tattoos, sparkly cowboy hats, merch emblazoned with their idol’s likeness — and even a ballgown or two — queued in line for hours, anxiously waiting to experience the cultural phenomenon, which is on track to become the highest-grossing musical tour of all time, anticipated to exceed more than $1 billion in revenue.In the past week, stadium officials and Santa Clara police had warned that tailgating — or Taylor-gating  — would not be allowed in the nearby parking lots, immediately disappointing ticketless fans that were planning to congregate outside the venue to enjoy snippets of the sold-out, three-hour concert, as thousands have done before them along other...

Trump returned document he claimed wasn’t real on recording

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:15:04 GMT

By Jamie Gangel | CNNThe top-secret document that former President Donald Trump discussed at a 2021 meeting at his New Jersey golf club was included in the 15 boxes returned to the National Archives in January of last year, according to a source familiar with the matter. But Trump has denied it was real.Trump was charged Thursday with retaining the classified document, described as a “presentation concerning military activity in a foreign country,” which CNN has reported is Iran, as part of the superseding indictment. He had previously been charged with retaining 31 other documents. The Iran war plan document, however, stands out as the only one from the 15 boxes Trump initially returned – before any subpoena was issued or search was conducted – that has led to any criminal charge.In the new court filing, the document is described as having been in Trump’s possession from the day he left the White House in 2021 until January 17, 2022, the same date Trump is said to have returned box...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Friday for the first time publicly acknowledged his seventh grandchild, a four-year-old girl fathered by his son Hunter with an Arkansas woman, Lunden Roberts, in 2018.“Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward,” Biden said in a statement. It was his first acknowledgement of the child. “This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter,” he said. “Jill and I only want what is best for all of our grandchildren, including Navy.”Hunter Biden’s paternity was established by DNA testing after Roberts sued for child support, and the two parties recently resolved outstanding child support issues.
