Republican Rep. George Santos pleaded not guilty yesterday to a 13-count federal indictment unsealed by the Justice Department charging him with wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. The indictment accuses Santos of engaging in three schemes: allegedly defrauding prospective political supporters, engaging in unemployment insurance fraud and misleading the House about his financial situation. Santos first came under scrutiny after The New York Times published a bombshell investigation in December indicating that much of his résumé appeared to have been fabricated. If convicted of the charges, he could face up to 20 years in prison. Santos said he doesn't plan to resign from Congress and still aims to run for re-election next year, but House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said last night that he would not back the re-election bid. Here's the latest.

A Utah man who died after his wife allegedly spiked his drink with fentanyl — and then wrote a children's book about grief — had suspected that she'd tried to poison him multiple times and said "she was to blame" if anything happened to him, according to court records. "According to a sister, Eric and his wife went to Greece a few years ago and after his wife gave him a drink he became violently ill and called his sister saying he believed his wife had tried to kill him," the records said. Eric Richins stayed in the marriage because of his children, a family spokesperson told NBC News yesterday. Richins, 39, died on March 4, 2022, after he was found unresponsive in his bedroom. Kouri Richins, 33, was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated murder. Here's the latest. |

The last Mother's Day gift Kimberly Garcia ever received from her daughter, Amerie Jo Garza, 10, was a little piece of art — eight popsicle sticks glued to a ribbon, each doodled with a reason Amerie loved her mom. It's become a prized possession as Garcia marks the first Mother's Day without her daughter, who was one of 19 children and two teachers killed by a gunman in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, 2022. Today, Garcia has tattoo that says "you console me" in her daughter's handwriting, a message from that final gift. In a new interview with TODAY.com, she shared her tangled emotions with the holiday approaching. "I don't know if I'm even going to do anything on Mother's Day," Garcia said. "I think about what we did back then and it just brings up so many emotions." She cried when asked what she wants for the holiday. "I just want her. That's all a mom wants — for her children to be safe." Read the full story here. |
