Nikki Haley is hitting hurdles as she seeks to take on former President Trump in Iowa and New Hampshire. The former U.N. ambassador scrambled this week to clarify comments she made on the campaign trail about the cause of the Civil War and faced backlash after she told New Hampshire voters they would correct the results of the Iowa caucuses. |

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said in an interview on Fox News that if elected she would pardon former President Trump only if he were found guilty and would not consider preemptively pardoning him. "I think you only do it if someone's found guilty. So, you know, what I'll say is this is about moving the country forward, and the last thing we want to see is an 80-year-old former president sitting in jail," she told the network. |

The Supreme Court agreed to take up whether former President Trump can be disqualified from appearing on Colorado's ballot over his actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, setting up a historic case that could upend the presidential election. The justices' order sets the case up to be heard at a speedy pace, with oral arguments scheduled for Feb. 8 and a decision to follow that could spark Trump's removal from the ballot in states across the country. |

Former President Trump, his business and several top executives — including his adult sons — used "myriad deceptive schemes" to falsely inflate his net worth by billions, the New York attorney general's office argued Friday in court filings ahead of closing remarks in his fraud trial next week. "The conclusion that defendants intended to defraud when preparing and certifying Trump's (statements of financial condition) is inescapable," reads the state's post-trial brief. |

The third anniversary of the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol comes as experts are sounding the alarm over the state of American democracy as the country enters an election year divided over the significance of the day. The violent rampage led to multiple deaths, the ransacking of the Capitol, the prosecution of former President Trump and a wave of shock as the public watched the images emerging from the building. |

President Biden on Friday gave his first major general election speech — one that delivered a furious attack on his likely GOP opponent, former President Trump, and a stark warning that Trump's reelection would post a threat to American democracy. Biden, speaking near Valley Forge, Pa., a significant symbol of the American Revolution, zeroed in on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol to drive home his argument that Trump and his Republican supporters have embraced the kind of extremism that was on display that day three years ago. |

Former President Trump on Friday accused President Biden of "fearmongering" with a speech earlier in the day in which Biden described Trump as a clear threat to democracy who could not be trusted with a second term. Trump, in remarks to supporters in Sioux Center, Iowa, called Biden's speech in Valley Forge, Pa., a "pathetic fearmongering campaign event" and suggested Biden was only attacking him on the issue of democracy because he could not run on other issues. |

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) made a plea to New Hampshire voters to take a stand against what she calls "cowardice" in the Republican party when they head to the polls later this month. Cheney slammed the faction of her party that has devoted itself to former President Trump in remarks made at Dartmouth College on Friday, the eve of the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. |

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley didn't close the door to joining forces with rival Ron DeSantis in 2024, but said it was her sole mission to defeat the current GOP front-runner, former President Trump. Asked in an interview if she would consider the Florida governor as a running mate, she said "maybe." |

OPINION | It comes as no surprise that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah almost immediately reacted to the Israeli assassination of Saleh al-Arouri, the Hamas deputy leader, in a Beirut suburb earlier this week. Israel previously had made it clear that it would target Hamas leaders wherever they were to be found, and Nasrallah responded by threatening to retaliate were Israel to attack Hamas leaders on Lebanese soil. |
OPINION | Few events better characterized 2023's tsunami of pronouncements about regulating artificial intelligence (AI) than Pope Francis's plea for the world. 2023 saw thousands of AI policy pronouncements, proposals, laws, orders and regulations, as well as an avalanche of headlines, talking heads, hearings, conferences, editorials and scholarly publications. It's no wonder that Pew Research reports a majority of Americans are worried about AI. |

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon's Hezbollah militia fired dozens of rockets at northern Israel on Saturday, warning that the barrage was its initial response to the targeted killing, presumably by Israel, of a top leader from the allied Hamas group in Lebanon's capital earlier this week. |
For four days, Kareem Sabawi's body lay wrapped in a blanket in a cold, empty apartment as his family sheltered nearby. He was killed during intense Israeli bombardment near his family home, his father and mother said, and in the days that followed, it was too dangerous to step outside and lay their 10-year-old child to rest. |
