La campaña de Donald Trump señaló que Lewandowski se declarará inocente.
Corey Lewandowski, el jefe de campaña del precandidato a las elecciones de Estados Unidos, por el partido republicano, Donald Trump, fue acusado formalmente este martes de agredir a una periodista en un acto de campaña.
Lewandowski fue detenido por la policía en Florida y acusado del delito menor de agresión simple por un altercado con la periodista Michelle Fields, quien en ese momento trabajaba para el sitio web conservador Breitbart.
La reportera asegura que el 8 de marzo, después de una rueda de prensa en Florida, cuando se acercó al candidato para hacerle una pregunta, Lewandowski la agarró fuertemente del brazo que quedó amoratado.

Varios manifestantes han sido expulsados de sus eventos en las últimas semanas y en algunos casos se han visto imágenes de algunos seguidores de Trump agrediendo a los que protestaban.
Arresto polémico
“El señor Lewandoski es inocente de estos cargos”, señaló este martes Donald Trump en un comunicado en el que dijo que “confía completamente que será exonerado”.
El candidato defendió en varios mensajes en Twitter a su jefe de campaña, al que se refirió como una “buena persona” y aseguró que en el video “no hay nada”.
Trump se preguntó en uno de sus mensaje en la red social por qué la periodista se acercó a él si la conferencia había concluido.

Donald Trump defendió a su jefe de campaña, al que se refirió como un buen hombre.
El portavoz de la policía de la localidad de Jupiter, Adam Brown, confirmó a la agencia internacional de noticias AFP que Lewandowski “fue arrestado esta mañana y puesto en libertad con una citación”.
Brown señaló que Lewandowski acudió voluntariamente a la comisaría y no fue esposado durante el proceso.
Lewandowski tendrá que comparecer el próximo 4 de mayo en la Corte del Condado Norte en Palm Beach Gardens (Florida).
La campaña de Trump señaló que Lewandoski no fue arrestado sino que recibió una “notificación de comparecencia y le dieron una fecha para la corte”.
Pero según explicó al diario New York Times el oficial Joseph Beinlich del departamento de Policía de Júpiter “una notificación de comparecencia es un arresto”.
El prosecretario del Colegio de Profesores y disidente de la dirigencia nacional del Magisterio, Mario Aguilar, consideró como una buena noticia la salida de Nicolás Eyzaguirre del Ministerio de Educación, arguyendo que la “arrogancia e intransigencia” del ministro dificultaba solucionar el conflicto que tiene el gremio docente, el cual lleva 24 días en paro.
“La salida de (Nicolás) Eyzaguirre de Educación es una buena noticia. Su arrogancia e intransigencia dificultaba solucionar el conflicto con nuestro gremio. En ese sentido su salida puede leerse como un triunfo del Magisterio, ya que el mal interlocutor que teníamos sale del Ministerio”, sostuvo.
Sin embargo, el dirigente señaló que a pesar de que Eyzaguirre abandona el Mineduc, esto no es una solución definitiva, ya que “ahora debemos ver cuál es la actitud de la nueva ministra”.
En ese sentido, Aguilar explicó que “esperamos que sea capaz de escuchar, de entender nuestros argumentos, de no cerrarse en sus posturas. Nosotros seguimos pensando que lo mejor para la educación chilena es el retiro del proyecto, y estamos dispuestos a participar de cualquier reunión donde podamos dialogar sobre el punto”.
Por su parte, el presidente de la Fundación Educación 2020, Mario Waissbluth, dijo sentirse contento por la designación de Adriana Delpiano en el Mineduc, debido a que “hemos sido grandes amigos por ya 40 años… (40!, que susto)”.
Afirmó que “tenemos por supuesto una gran coincidencia de visiones sobre los desafíos educativos de Chile”.
Explicó que estará a su disposición cuando lo requiera, “siempre entendiendo que son roles completamente diferentes los que Mineduc y Educación 2020 juegan en la sociedad. Un gobierno es un gobierno, sujeto a la contingencia política, y un movimiento ciudadano autónomo es un movimiento ciudadano autónomo e independiente, cuyos planteamientos por esencia trascienden la contingencia política y ve más allá de un período de gobierno”.
Explicó que la nueva titular del Mineduc ha estado inmersa en la problemática de la educación en el país, por lo que “supongo que habrá una cierta continuidad en la línea general de la reforma”.
“Nana es asistente social y tiene un Magíster en Educación, ha trabajado en terreno, conoce las aulas por dentro. En Educación 2020 fue la impulsora del CLE (Centro de Liderazgo Educativo), centro multidisciplinario de Educación 2020 que trabaja en más de 18 comunas del país, con sostenedores, equipos directivos, profesores, alumnos y comunidades”, detalló Waissbluth.
Portland police on Tuesday declared a riot amid a destructive downtown demonstration held on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder.
About 200 people gathered Tuesday night outside the Multnomah County Justice Center. Some in the crowd lit fireworks and a dumpster fire, tagged the Justice Center with graffiti and broke windows at nearby Portland City Hall.
Some also threw water bottles and fireworks directly at police officers.
Tuesday marked the passing of a year since a Minneapolis police officer murdered Floyd, sparking an unprecedented push to address anti-Black racism across the country.
The killing, which was captured on video, touched off a wave of racial justice protests throughout the country and world, with Portland’s demonstrations spanning more than 100 consecutive nights.
Los medios de comunicación y redes sociales inundaron la web con homenajes al afamado cantante y compositor estadounidense que grabó más de 30 discos a lo largo de su carrera y hasta ganó un premio Oscar en 1985 a mejor canción original por la película Purple Rain.
La confirmación de la noticia llegó con un escueto comunicado de su publicista, Yvette Noel-Schure.
“Con profunda tristeza, confirmo que el legendario e icónico artista Prince Rogers Nelson ha fallecido esta mañana en su residencia de Paisley Park a los 57 años”, decía el aviso.
Sin embargo, nada se sabe en concreto aún sobre las causas de la muerte del ícono de la música pop.

“No hay razón para creer que se trató de un suicidio”, dijo el alguacil Jim Olson.
En la tarde del viernes, el alguacil del condado de Carber, Jim Olson, dijo que “no había señales obvias de trauma en el cuerpo de Prince” cuando fue encontrado inconsciente.
Y añadió en una conferencia de prensa que “no hay razón para creer que se trató de un suicidio”.
El cantante fue visto por última vez sobre las 20:00 horas en la noche del miércoles (01:00 GMT del jueves) y fue encontrado inconsciente alrededor de las 9:30 de la mañana del día siguiente.
Según Olson, el músico de 57 años era “una persona muy reservada” y creía que no era inusual que el cantante estuviera solo.
El alguacil se negó a revelar quién hizo la primera llamada al número de emergencias diciendo que la información era privada.
Pero se comprometió a investigar la muerte de Prince a fondo.
“Vamos a hacer todo lo posible en esto y asegurarnos de que el público sepa lo que pasó”, dijo Olson.

Este viernes le practicaron la autopsia, aunque las autoridades dijeron que podría llevar días o semanas a que los resultados se publiquen.
En las últimas semanas, Prince estaba padeciendo problemas de salud que incluso le llevaron a cancelar dos conciertos.
El pasado viernes el avión privado del artista tuvo que hacer un aterrizaje de emergencia y Prince fue ingresado durante unas horas en un hospital de Illinois al empeorar su estado.
Representantes del músico confirmaron entonces que estaba lidiando con una gripe.
Chazz Smith, primo de Prince, dijo a AP que no podía hacer comentarios sobre los informes acerca de la salud del cantante ni cuándo fue la última vez que lo vio.
“Lo que sé es que estaba perfectamente sano”, dijo Smith, quien formó una banda con Prince cuando eran niños.

Florida’s agriculture commissioner on Monday called for a congressional investigation into Gov. Ron DeSantis over “alleged political favoritism” in his state’s distribution of Covid-19 vaccine doses.
Nikki Fried, the state’s Democratic agriculture commissioner, noted that at least three “pop-up” vaccination sites have been “organized in wealthy communities affiliated with donors to the governor’s political campaigns.”
Fried, who’s long been a staunch critic of DeSantis, asked Congress to investigate in a letter sent Monday morning to Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, and Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., its ranking Republican member.
“My office has received frequent complaints regarding the unequal distribution of vaccines,” Fried wrote in the letter, which was obtained by CNBC. She went on to accuse DeSantis of “inept distribution of vaccines at best, and corrupt political patronage at worst.” The letter was first reported on by Yahoo Finance.
DeSantis’ office did not return CNBC’s request for comment on the allegations.
Fried cited news reports of the three so-called pop-up vaccination sites. In the first instance, “DeSantis allowed politically-connected private developers to dole out the life-saving drug to residents of their upscale communities, bypassing systems set up to ensure equitable access to vaccines,” the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.
“Given the numerous serious questions regarding the Governor’s impartiality and potential political corruption in distributing life-saving vaccine, I encourage your committee to initiate a congressional inquiry into Florida’s vaccine distribution procedures, including compelling the production any testimony, records and documents as you see fit,” she wrote.
Fried also sent a letter to DeSantis on Monday morning, asking him to suspend Manatee County Commissioner Vanessa Baugh from public office. Baugh, Fried wrote, is under investigation for allegedly “placing herself, friends and family on a VIP vaccine list.” Baugh also selected her district, two wealthy ZIP codes, to receive additional vaccine doses from the state, Fried wrote.
It’s the second time a Florida Democrat has called for a federal investigation into DeSantis’ handling of the vaccine rollout. On Feb. 21, Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., sent a letter to the Department of Justice, asking it to investigate reports that DeSantis has established vaccination sites “in select locations to benefit political allies and donors, over the needs of higher risk communities and existing county waitlists.”
Notably, both Fried and Crist have been named in news reports as potential gubernatorial challengers to DeSantis.
“As reported by multiple news outlets, the Governor is setting up ‘pop-up’ vaccination sites to deliver doses to select communities,” Crist, another longtime DeSantis critic, wrote. “The ZIP codes in question have the highest income levels and lowest COVID infection rates in the county.”

Protesters have filled Harcourt Road outside the government headquarters in Admiralty. They’ve set up stations to hand out water and cling film, which they wrap around their bare arms and legs to protect against police pepper spray.
Gaston Hung, 27, used both cling film and a face mask. He was hit by tear gas while protesting on June 12, which irritated his skin and made it hard to breathe.
Clara Cheung, a Hong Kong artist, has been at Admiralty since 6:15 a.m. She waves a “black bauhinia” flag, an altered version of the Hong Kong flag, saying it represents the city’s future and the ongoing struggle with China.
“In the long term, we need autonomy in Hong Kong,” she said.
President Donald Trump’s spate of attacks against witnesses in the Russia investigation, like the former White House counsel Don McGahn, could open him up to new charges of obstruction and witness tampering, according to legal experts.
Legal experts say he is especially vulnerable because those charges can be brought after he leaves office, as the special counsel Robert Mueller emphasized in his report.
“It’s baffling that the president would continue doing a lot of the same things that, at least in part, landed him in this mess in the first place,” one former senior DOJ official told INSIDER.
Trump’s continued attacks against McGahn and others could also contribute to a growing appetite for impeachment in the Democratic-led House of Representatives.
President Donald Trump has made no secret in recent days of his fury toward the special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report in the Russia investigation, which the Justice Department released last week with light redactions.
In addition to accusing “highly conflicted” Mueller and his team of “18 Angry Democrats” of going on a fishing expedition, the president also took aim at Democratic lawmakers investigating him and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials who launched the Russia probe.
Crucially, Trump also targeted people like the former White House counsel Donald McGahn, who painted a portrait in Mueller’s report of a frustrated president who tried multiple times to thwart Mueller’s sprawling investigation.
Trump lashed out at McGahn after the report was released, telling the public to “watch out” for him and accusing him of fabricating his testimony to prosecutors.
Justice Department veterans say the comments may open the president up to new charges of obstruction and witness tampering.
“It is a federal crime to retaliate against a witness — meaning to take some specific action to harm a person (firing, for example) in connection with or as payback for the person’s prior testimony or statement to law enforcement,” Elie Honig, a former federal prosecutor from the Southern District of New York, told INSIDER.
“It is also a crime to tamper with a witness — if the efforts at intimidation can be seen as efforts to influence or prevent testimony in the future by the parties being attacked or by others,” Honig added.
This isn’t the first time the president and his lawyers have launched public attacks aimed at witnesses who testified against Trump.
As Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, was gearing up to testify before three congressional committees about the president’s conduct in February, Trump and Giuliani suggested investigators should in turn target Cohen’s father-in-law.
Cohen subsequently postponed his testimony, citing “ongoing threats” against his family by the president.
McGahn, meanwhile, put out a rare statement through his attorney after Trump and Giuliani attacked his credibility, saying the incidents of potential obstruction of justice that he relayed to Mueller’s team “are accurately described in the report.”
“This is risky,” William Jeffress, a Washington criminal defense lawyer who represented President Richard Nixon after he left the White House, told Politico of Trump’s attacks against McGahn. “I find it surprising because he’s taking these shots at witnesses who gave information to Mueller, and I think he’s got to be careful because there’s an explicit federal statute punishing retaliation against witnesses.”

‘Trump has a glass jaw’
A 1973 decision by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said a sitting president cannot be indicted. In his report, Mueller cited that decision as one of the reasons he declined to “make a traditional prosecutorial judgment” on whether Trump obstructed justice.
But the special counsel laid out a detailed roadmap of evidence prosecutors had collected in the obstruction probe. After outlining 11 potential instances of obstruction of justice, Mueller’s team wrote, “If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment.”
The report also pointed out that a president can be criminally prosecuted after leaving office. And it highlighted Congress’ power to investigate potential wrongdoing by the chief executive.
One former senior Justice Department official who worked closely with Mueller when he was at the FBI told INSIDER the special counsel “is as meticulous as they come in choosing his words.”
“He would not have included those statements in the report if he didn’t think there was evidence of potentially criminal conduct,” this person added. “It’s baffling that the president would continue doing a lot of the same things that, at least in part, landed him in this mess in the first place.”
Barbara McQuade, a former federal prosecutor from the Eastern District of Michigan, told INSIDER Trump’s efforts to prevent witnesses from testifying or retaliating against them “could be obstruction of justice, but no more likely to be charged criminally than the instances that appear in the Mueller report.”
Jeffrey Cramer, a longtime former federal prosecutor in Chicago who spent 12 years at the Justice Department, offered a different view.
It’s “impossible to prove witness tampering by a guy who constantly insults everyone who crosses him,” Cramer told INSIDER. “Trump is unique in that his normal discourse is attacking those who say anything against his interest. He has a glass jaw.”
Prosecutors and juries “react to evidence that shows acts that are a departure from someone’s normal course to demonstrate witness tampering and the like,” he added. “The simple fact is that 99% of the population don’t spend their day criticizing others. Our President resides in the remaining 1%, so it would be a difficult criminal case to pursue.”

‘Witness tampering in plain view’
But the president could face other obstacles, particularly from a newly empowered, Democratic-led House of Representatives.
Since the Mueller report came out, the Democratic response has fallen into one of two camps.
Some of the more progressive members of Congress, like New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, are pushing to impeach the president.
But establishment Democrats, like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, are pumping the brakes on impeachment while they demand an un-redacted version of the Mueller report, arguing that Congress needs all the facts before moving forward.
House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler has also said he wants more information before opening impeachment proceedings. To that effect, in addition to subpoenaing the full Mueller report, his committee also recently subpoenaed McGahn to testify before the panel.
Continued attacks by the president on his former White House counsel and other witnesses would “certainly make it more likely” for the House to impeach Trump, a Democratic aide on the House Judiciary panel, which would be in charge of formally launching the proceedings, told INSIDER. “That would be witness tampering in plain view.”
The liaison office was vandalized by a hard-core group of protesters last month, prompting China to denounce them — and to place a plastic shield around a national crest outside the building, which protesters had spattered with ink.
Street violence has come in fits and starts during this summer’s protests, and life in Hong Kong has otherwise proceeded relatively normally. But there is growing fear among a wide cross-section of Hong Kong society that the violence, which has included a mob attack on protesters, could eventually lead to deaths.
Some protesters have in recent weeks thrown bricks, firebombs and other objects at the police, who as of mid-August had fired more than 1,800 rounds of tear gas, plus rubber bullets and beanbag rounds, to disperse crowds.
Last weekend, the police used water cannon trucks for the first time since the protests began in June, and a few officers drew pistols on protesters, some of whom were charging at them with sticks. One officer fired a warning shot into the air after one of his colleagues fell to the ground.
FOX Business’ Connell McShane reports from Morrison, CO amid a series of wildfires plaguing western states.
Utility giant Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) told California officials that its equipment may be responsible for one of the large fires ongoing in the state.
In a filing on Sunday, the company said that a repair technician responding to an outage noted there were two blown fuses and a tree leaning into the conductor. He also saw a fire at the base of the tree, which was reported to 9-1-1 and his supervisor, according to the filing.
A spokesperson for PG&E said in a statement to FOX Business that the information submitted was preliminary and it is cooperating with CAL FIRE’s investigation.
A representative from the California Public Utility Commission said it is conducting an investigation “to assess the compliance of PG&E’s electric facilities with applicable rules and regulations.”
California’s largest utility filed for bankruptcy protection in 2019 and emerged after restructuring in July of last year.
The Dixie Fire has burned more than 30,000 acres and is only 15% contained. The fire has largely affected remote areas, but there is an evacuation notice in place for some residents in Plumas and Butte Counties.
According to CAL Fire, so far this year 204,921 acres have burned due to wildfires.

New Hampshire is now the 21st U.S. state to have abolished capital punishment, after its legislature voted to override a veto by Republican Gov. Chris Sununu. After a years-long effort to repeal the state’s death penalty, the state’s Senate voted 16-8 Thursday to finally make it official.
Calling capital punishment “archaic, costly, discriminatory and violent,” Democratic state Sen. Melanie Levesque said the time has come to end it, according to New Hampshire Public Radio.
“The death penalty has been an issue every New Hampshire legislator has grappled with over many years,” Senate President Donna Soucy, D-Manchester, said in a statement after the historic vote. “It was a privilege today to join my colleagues in voting to repeal capital punishment in the Granite State.”
The rejection of Sununu’s veto had been expected even before the governor took that step on May 3, as both the Senate and House overwhelmingly had approved a bill last month changing New Hampshire’s penalty for capital murder.
Where people found guilty of the crime once were exposed to a possible death sentence, the new law calls for life in prison without the possibility of parole.
“I am incredibly disappointed that the Senate chose to override my veto,” Sununu said after the Senate vote, which followed a successful House override vote.
Sununu said via Twitter that he has “consistently stood with law enforcement, families of crime victims, and advocates for justice in opposing a repeal of the death penalty because it is the right thing to do.”
The issue was not decidedly along strictly partisan lines. While Sununu said he opposed the repeal, another Republican, state Sen. Harold French, has backed the bill, saying last month that it would be a “misdeed” to keep the death penalty in effect.
“As I get older, I realized for a fact we’re actually all on death row and it’s just a matter of time before our names get called,” French said, explaining his support to abolish capital punishment.
French said he had been moved by the testimony of people who spoke out against the death penalty — a sentiment that was echoed Thursday by state Sen. Martha Hennessey, a Democrat from Hanover.
“I am grateful to the many survivors of murder victims who bravely shared their stories with the Legislature this session,” Hennessey said, “many of whom told us that the death penalty only prolongs the pain and trauma of their loss.”
The last time New Hampshire executed a convicted murderer was in 1939, but the state does currently have an inmate on death row: Michael Addison, who was convicted of the 2006 killing of Manchester police officer Michael Briggs.
The new law would not retroactively apply to Addison, though critics of the repeal effort have warned that they believe he won’t be executed if the measure is enacted.
In addition to social and philosophical objections, backers of the push to repeal the death penalty say it has cost the state millions of dollars to pursue death sentences, particularly when the state must pay to provide defense for indigent defendants in lengthy trials and penalty hearings. Lawmakers noted in the text of the bill that New Hampshire had spent some $2.5 million to prosecute the Addison case.

El abogado del cantante nacional Andy V se pronunció luego de la detención de este último confirmando que se habría solicitado prisión preventiva contra su patrocinado.
De acuerdo a sus declaraciones esta se trataría de una “solicitud exagerada de la representante del Ministerio Público“.
“Ella no debió solicitar prisión preventiva contra Andy V ni contra la otra persona“, dijo muy escuetamente el Dr. Vergaray.
“El tema empezó porque uno de ello le pide tomarse una foto con él… Ellos empiezan a insultar y a referirse a Andy V cuando él precisamente estaba en el baño“, confirmó.
De ser aprobada por el Juzgado, la prisión preventiva contra el cantante le llevaría a ser trasladado al Penal de San Juan de Lurigancho, medida que en palabras del propio abogado del artista sería “exagerada”.
Como se sabe, el aún esposo de Susy Díaz se encuentra detenido en la Comisaria de Zárate, tras la supuesta agresión a Manuel Cóndor Flores y el menor K.M.P.R. luego de que ellos intentaran tomarse una foto con él.
Otras figuras del espectáculo local han acudido a la comisaría de Zárate para visitar al cantante. Tal fue el caso de su pareja la periodista Lourdes Sacín y el cantante “Luisito” Caycho.
