Virginia Beach officials on Saturday identified DeWayne Craddock, a longtime Virginia Beach city worker who had recently been terminated, as the gunman who stormed the beach community’s municipal complex on Friday afternoon and opened fire, killing at least 12 and injuring several others.

[Officials have identified the victims.]

Mr. Craddock, 40, died in a shootout with the police. Here is what we know about him:

• Mr. Craddock worked as an engineer in the Department of Public Utilities, the city’s water and sanitary sewer services branch, for about 15 years. A recent city news release listed him as a contact person on a roads project.

• There was no immediate indication that Mr. Craddock targeted anyone in particular, officials said.

• He had a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Old Dominion University. Before his job with the city, he worked for private firms specializing in site planning and infrastructure, and for the Army Training and Support Center, employment listings showed. He also served in the Army National Guard, according to news reports.

Michael Cohen, the president’s former fixer who once famously claimed he was willing to “take a bullet” for Donald Trump before later turning against his boss, was sentenced to three years in prison Wednesday by a federal judge in New York after pleading guilty to numerous crimes while cooperating with prosecutors.

Before sentencing, Cohen ripped into his former boss in federal court, telling the judge he felt it was his duty to cover up the president’s “dirty deeds.”

Cohen appeared before U.S. District Judge William Pauley III for sentencing after pleading guilty to campaign finance violations, tax evasion and lying to Congress about Trump’s past business dealings in Russia. He was seen entering the Manhattan courthouse Wednesday accompanied by members of his family.

Cohen doesn’t have to report to prison until March 6. He also was ordered to pay $1.4 million in restitution and a $50,000 fine, and forfeit $500,000.

Speaking in court before the judge issued the sentence, Cohen said “blind loyalty” to Trump led him “to take a path of darkness instead of light.”

But Rudy Giuliani, an attorney for Trump, argued in a phone interview with Fox News that Cohen wasn’t always loyal – citing Cohen’s secret recordings of Trump that were later leaked to the press. The Cohen case, he said, shows the Mueller probe has turned into a “witch hunt.”

“Tell me what this has to do with Russia collusion?” Giuliani said of Cohen’s admission of guilt.

In court, a contrite Cohen told the judge he takes “full responsibility for each act,” saying the “sooner I am sentenced, the sooner I can return to my family.”

Cohen also apologized to the people of the United States, saying, “You deserve to know the truth.”

The sentence, while not the maximum, signifies a remarkable fall for the hard-charging lawyer who for years was part of Trump’s inner circle. The charges against Cohen arose from two separate investigations – one by federal prosecutors in New York, and the other by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Both cases hold potential implications for Trump. His admission in the former to breaking the law in making hush-money payments during the 2016 campaign to two women who claimed affairs with Trump has raised questions about whether prosecutors may eventually pursue charges against the president. Cohen said he did so at Trump’s direction. Sentencing memos filed last week showed Cohen also told investigators about more Russia contacts that could fuel the collusion aspect of Mueller’s probe.

Lawyers for Cohen — who worked as Trump’s counselor before the presidential campaign, advocated for him on television during the presidential race and remained his personal lawyer at the beginning of the administration — had asked for leniency because of his cooperation with both the office of Special Counsel Mueller and prosecutors looking into campaign finance violations in New York.

But on Friday, federal prosecutors recommended a “substantial term of imprisonment” for Cohen, saying his efforts to cooperate with Mueller have been “overstated.” Federal prosecutors said that Cohen was “motivated” by “personal greed” and “repeatedly used his power and influence for deceptive ends.”

Among other charges, Cohen recently pleaded guilty to misleading Congress about his work on a proposal to build a Trump skyscraper in Moscow, hiding the fact that he continued to speak with Russians about the proposal well into the presidential campaign.

In the New York case, prosecutors accused Cohen of a years-long “tax evasion scheme” to avoid paying federal income taxes on more than $4 million made through a number of ventures, including through his ownership of taxi medallions, his selling of real estate in Florida and his consulting work for other clients.

Cohen also pleaded guilty in August to breaking campaign finance laws by helping orchestrate payments to silence former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who said they had sexual encounters with Trump while he was married.

The U.S. Attorneys Office also announced Wednesday they have agreed not to prosecute American Media, Inc., which publishes the National Enquirer, for its role in paying $150,000 for the rights to McDougal’s story. By purchasing and then refusing to run the story, the company was doing Trump a favor to keep the story out of the news before the 2016 election, prosecutors said. The U.S. Attorneys Office said AMI has cooperated with prosecutors.

Trump has lashed out at Cohen over his cooperation with prosecutors, recently saying Cohen “lied” and deserves to “serve a full and complete sentence.”

A sentencing memo filed by prosecutors said Cohen “acted in coordination and at the direction of” Trump in making those payments.” But in a tweet this week, Trump denied the payments to Daniels and McDougal were campaign contributions, instead calling them a “simple private transaction.” Trump also said if mistakes were made, the “liability” should be with Cohen, his lawyer, and not him.

“Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced,” the president tweeted Monday.

Cohen is the latest example of people connected to Trump who have pleaded guilty or been convicted of crimes since Trump has entered the White House, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former campaign aide Rick Gates and former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos.

La Gran Época le presenta un resumen de las principales noticias del día. En primer lugar, esta mañana se registró un misil fallido proveniente de Corea del Norte, pese a las advertencias internacionales que le prohíben al régimen de Kim Jong-un hacer maniobras que aumenten la tensión y el peligro en la región.

Por otro lado, entró en vigencia “pausa humanitaria” de 11 horas en Alepo. En un tenso debate, Donald Trump no se comprometió a aceptar el resultado de las elecciones si él no resulta ganador y -por último-  una nave espacial europea ingresa a la atmósfera marciana y en la Agencia Espacial están a la espera de alguna señal proveniente de la misma.

Pese a las advertencias internacionales, Corea del Norte lanzó otro misil

De acuerdo a comunicados emitidos por Estados Unidos y Corea del Sur, Corea del Norte fracasó en un nuevo intento de lanzar un misil la mañana de este jueves. El comando estratégico de Estados Unidos dijo que detectó el misil, se presume que puede haberse tratado de un proyectil Musudan de alcance medio.

En un comunicado, el comandante de la marina estadounidense Gary Ross  dijo: “condenamos enérgicamente este y otras recientes pruebas de misiles de Corea del Norte, que violan las resoluciones del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU que prohíben explícitamente los lanzamientos de Corea del Norte utilizando tecnología de misiles balísticos”.  Del mismo modo, llamó al régimen norcoreano a abstenerse de acciones que elevan aún más las tensiones en la región.

Por su parte, Corea del Sur dijo en un comunicado que el lanzamiento tuvo lugar cerca del aeropuerto Banghyon en la ciudad de Kusong.

Entra en vigencia “pausa humanitaria” de 11 horas en Alepo

Cientos de civiles, enfermos y heridos abandonan la norteña ciudad siria de Alepo en medio del cese al fuego anunciado por el gobierno del presidente Bashar al-Assad.

El ejército sirio decretó una “pausa humanitaria” de 11 horas en Alepo, para permitir también que los rebeldes opositores abandonen la ciudad.

La “pausa humanitaria” entró en vigor a las 08:00 horas locales y se extenderá durante 11 horas, aunque las autoridades sirias no proclamaron oficialmente su inicio como en treguas anteriores.

Las Fuerzas Armadas sirias anunciaron en un comunicado su decisión de suspender los bombardeos contra los barrios del este de Alepo, asediados por el ejército y controlados por la oposición. El ejército sirio reclamó a los rebeldes “que abandonen las armas y se beneficien del decreto de amnistía”.

Donald Trump se abstuvo de comentar si aceptará el resultado de las elecciones si gana Hillary Clinton

En un intenso y crucial debate, cara a cara entre Hillary Clinton y Donald Trump, el candidato republicano dijo la noche del miércoles ante la audiencia que verá en su momento si acepta o no el resultado de las elecciones presidenciales del 8 de noviembre porque teme un fraude en su contra.

La candidata demócrata Hillary Clinton contestó que el candidato era un “peligro para la democracia”.

El tercer y último debate se llevó a cabo ayer en la Universidad de Nevada, en las Vegas y fue moderado por el periodista Chris Wallace, de la cadena Fox. Ambos candidatos llegaron, saludaron al público y no se estrecharon la mano en ningún momento, ni al principio ni cuando terminó el debate.

Nave espacial europea ingresa a atmósfera marciana

La Agencia Espacial Europea dijo que la nave espacial Schiaparelli ingresó a la atmósfera marciana el miércoles, pero aún no había noticias sobre si la sonda había descendido exitosamente.

“La señal se recibió durante la mayor parte de la fase de descenso pero se detuvo en un momento que pensamos fue antes de que tocara la superficie marciana. Ahora, podría haber muchas razones para eso, necesitamos más información. Es claro que estas no son buenas señales, pero necesitamos más información” dijo Paolo Ferri, director de operaciones de la misión del Centro de Operaciones de la Agencia Espacial Europea.

La sonda fue liberada de su nave nodriza- el Trace Gas Orbiter- el domingo y se posicionó por sí sola para descender.

A decir de Felipe Chao, Vicepresidente de Relaciones Institucionales de MVS Noticias, no hay posibilidad de un acuerdo entre MVS Noticias y Carmen Aristegui, pues ambas partes están ofendidas y agraviadas.

Luego de la polémica que se ha generado por el despido de Carmen Aristegui de MVS Noticias, el Vicepresidente de Relaciones Institucionales de la empresa, Felipe Chao, considera que no existe posibilidad alguna para llegar a un acuerdo con la periodista. Asimismo, aseguró que los agravios por este caso nada tienen que ver con la libertad de expresión y la independencia editorial.

Aunque, considera que con la salida de Carmen Aristegui “perdemos todos”, Chao aseguró que el despido de Carmen Aristegui “no tiene nada que ver con presiones de gobierno” o con ataques a la libertad de expresión; “Carmen ha sido claro ejemplo de la libertad de expresión que se tiene en MVS”, sostuvo.

Detalló que por un lado MVS pierde “a una periodista que merece nuestro respeto” y Carmen pierde “un espacio que habíamos venido consolidando”. Destacó que no se “trata de cuestiones de cálculo. Es una cuestión, simplemente, de homogeneizar, de perfeccionar, o de tener un poco de orden en todas nuestras emisiones”.

En torno a la planeación anticipada del despido de Aristegui de MVS Noticias, Chao consideró que “todas estas versiones son, cada una, más descabellada que la otra”. Asimismo, señaló que más allá de una relación desgastada entre Aristegui y la familia Vargas –situación que se tendría que preguntar directamente a los implicados-, “el clima laboral no era el idóneo”.

En entrevista con Ciro Gómez Leyva, Felipe Chao apuntó que no ve la posibilidad de un arreglo entre MVS Noticias y Carmen Aristegui, pues ambas partes están ofendidas y agraviadas; “la parte de la empresa porque nunca tuvo conocimiento de que su marca iba a ser utilizada para una plataforma y, Carmen y su equipo, que merecen todo nuestro respeto, están agraviados por lo que ellos creen que es un ataque a la libertad de expresión”, señaló Chao en entrevista con Ciro Gómez Leyva.

Sobre el despido de Irving Huerta y Daniel Lizárraga, colaboradores de Carmen Aristegui, Chao señaló que, en principio, fueron separados, aunque jurídicamente desconoce el término que aplica para este caso.

“Esos reporteros hicieron uso de manera indebida de la marca MVS sin conocimiento de los dueños de la empresa”, refirió Chao. Asimismo, negó que el despido de colaboradoras se tratara de una provocación para la periodista.

Chao precisó que Alejandro Vargas, presidente de MVS Radio, sostuvo una reunión con Carmen Aristegui el pasado viernes. “Ella fija como condición sine qua non la reinstalación de nuestros dos colaboradores que habían sido separados, lo que le pareció a la administración un ultimátum inaceptable”.

Asimismo, dijo desconocer si existe una clausula por 30 millones de pesos en caso de despido para Carmen, dejando claro que esos términos laborales corresponden, como ha dicho la propia Carmen, a cuestiones de abogados.

En torno a la presencia de Carmen Aristegui en las inmediaciones de MVS Noticias, Felipe Chao señaló que no tiene información en torno a que la periodista haya querido ingresar a las instalaciones de la empresa.

Chao comentó que los demás conductores de MVS Noticias ha presentado su renuncia a la empresa tas la salida de Carmen Aristegui; “ellos han aceptado los lineamientos que propuso la empresa y están trabajando en horarios y emisiones respectivas”.

Por último, señaló que los servicios informativos de MVS se mantienen al aire, “con las características que siempre han tenido de libertad, pluralidad; ser críticos objetivos, equilibrados, etc.” Sin embargo, señaló que no ha definido a la persona que estará a cargo de la edición matutina de noticias en la empresa.

Republican Georgia Sen. David Perdue will quarantine after learning he was in contact with a staffer who tested positive for COVID-19, his campaign announced Thursday.

Perdue, 71, learned of his potential exposure on Thursday morning, according to campaign officials. The quarantine will force Perdue to step back from the campaign trail with just days until Georgia’s crucial runoff vote.

“Both Senator Perdue and his wife tested negative today, but following his doctor’s recommendations and in accordance with CDC guidelines, they will quarantine,” the Perdue campaign said in a statement. “The Senator and his wife have been tested regularly throughout the campaign, and the team will continue to follow CDC guidelines. Further information will be provided when available.”

Perdue is locked in a tough race with Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff. It’s unclear how long the Georgia Republican will remain in quarantine. Perdue appeared at a campaign event as recently as Wednesday and was scheduled to attend an early vote concert with fellow Republican Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler Thursday afternoon.

President Trump is set to hold a rally on behalf of Loeffler and Perdue Monday.

The outcome of Georgia’s two Senate runoff races will determine which party controls the upper chamber of Congress. The vote is slated for Tuesday.

    Sasha Obama sorprendió al mundo al aparecer trabajando en un restaurante de mariscos Estados Unidos, la hija del presidente estadounidenses está siguiendo las indicaciones de sus padres, esta noticia, así como la caída en las encuestas de Donald Trump, destacan en el resumen de noticias de este jueves.

    En este resumen de noticias te presentamos las que mayor impacto tuvieron en Honduras y el planeta entero:


    Hija de Obama es mesera en restaurante en una isla

    Las pruebas de la sencillez de la familia Obama no acaban. Hace unos días, Sasha y Malia, hijas de la pareja presidencial de los Estados Unidos, acapararon la atención de la prensa al hacer compras en tiendas de moda low cost en una visita a España. Ahora, es la menor de ellas, Sasha, quien ha despertado admiración tras revelarse que estas vacaciones trabaja como mesera en un restaurante de mariscos.
    Aunque se pretendía mantener en secreto el oficio de verano de la joven de 15 años, la prensa ha dado con ella y hasta ha difundido fotografías de su trabajo.

    Según publicó The Boston Herald, Sasha trabaja en Nancy’s, un restaurante de mariscos ubicado en Martha’s Vineyard, una isla situada en la costa este de Estados Unidos. Allí se ha desempeñado como mesera y cajera con su nombre completo, Natasha, con el fin de evitar la sobreexposición.


    Un muerto y un herido en balacera atrás de la catedral de San Pedro Sula

    Un vendedor murió y otro resultó herido en una balacera ocurrida en las cercanías de la catedral San Pedro Apóstol de San Pedro Sula, al norte de Honduras.
    La persona muerta fue identificada como Rommel Aldaín Boquín Chávez de 20 años.
    El hecho ocurrió en la 2 calle, 2 y 3 avenidas del barrio El Centro la tarde de este jueves, cuando dos sujetos que viajaban en la paila de un carro pick up dispararon contra varios vendedores.

    Los dos vendedores fueron auxiliados, pero a Boquín pero no pudieron salvarle la vida, mientras que el otro vendedor herido fue trasladado de emergencia al hospital Mario Rivas de esta ciudad donde recibe asistencia.


    Huracán Earl se degrada a tormenta tropial y pierde fuerza

    Earl se desplaza ahora 24 km/h y debería perder aún más velocidad en el correr del día, mientras sopla a 105 km/h (contra 120 km/h en la tarde del miércoles). “Estas lluvias podrían producir repentinas crecidas y mortales aludes de lodo”, advirtió el Centro, con sede en Miami.

    Donald Trump se desploma en encuestas

    Diez días pueden ser una eternidad en política: si no, hay que preguntarle a Donald Trump. Dos domingos atrás, el magnate salía fortalecido de la convención del Partido Republicano y le ganaba a Hillary Clinton por entre dos a cinco puntos en la mayoría de las encuestas.
    Pero hoy, la exprimera dama saca entre seis a nueve puntos de ventaja en encuestas como la de las cadenas NBC, CNN y CBS, mientras se escuchan voces que amenazan con que el multimillonario podría incluso retirarse de la contienda.

    La explicación es que Trump acumuló una serie de polémicas inéditas. Ha sostenido peleas con la familia de un soldado caído en Irak, elogios a Vladimir Putin y hasta una polémica con un bebé que lloraba durante un mitin y tuvo que ser retirado junto a su madre.

    Here are a few things I know firsthand about being in jail. First and foremost, you have virtually no control over your life and surroundings. You can’t get so much as an aspirin without authorization. In most jails, you can’t wear a belt, or shoelaces, or keep a razor in your cell. And in a well-run jail, high-profile prisoners have virtually no chance of killing themselves.

    So the alleged suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, the 66-year-old financier with powerful friends who was about to stand trial for allegedly sexually abusing dozens of girls, many of them underage, is particularly unfathomable — and outrageous.

    Epstein was placed on suicide watch on July 23 after being found semi-conscious in his cell with marks on his neck, in what prison officials described at the time as a failed suicide attempt. He was removed from suicide watch six days later, on July 29, and returned to a segregated area of the prison with extra security known as the special housing unit.

    Officials told me Sunday that the prison’s psychological team had evaluated Epstein on a daily basis after his alleged initial suicide attempt and had found him to be no risk to himself or to others. Officials said that Epstein had met for many hours each day with his legal team, and that both he and his lawyers had repeatedly assured the prison that he did not want to kill himself and had asked MCC to remove him from the suicide watch.

    Finally, officials said, at least one member of Epstein’s legal team was with him until 6:30 on the Friday evening before his death. None of his legal team — Reid Weingarten, Marty Weinberg, Michael Miller, or Marc Fernich — would comment about their client’s emotional and mental state the night before his death and during the last six days of his incarceration.

    Under the prison’s rules and procedures, Epstein was supposed to be given a cellmate and monitored by prison guards every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day after being removed from suicide watch. Prison experts believe that having a cellmate helps deter suicide. Neither officials nor Epstein’s legal team would comment on whether those procedures were followed, but at least one official familiar with the episode said that they were not.

    Epstein had a cellmate before his initial alleged suicide attempt, but cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione was not returned to share a cell with him after Epstein was placed on watch and then removed from the list, one official said. The official said Epstein was alone in his cell for some time before his death — again, in violation of the prison’s rules and procedures.

    If confirmed, such disclosures about what appear to be failures in Epstein’s detention at MCC can only intensify questions and suspicions about his death. “This facility is known for being deeply troubled,” one official said, though others cautioned that the DOJ’s and the prison’s own investigation were in its initial stages and that facts could change as the inquiry progressed.

    My own relatively small brush with America’s justice system was profoundly different from Epstein’s. Unlike him, I was jailed voluntarily. Then a journalist with The New York Times, I chose to spend three months at Alexandria Detention Center near Washington in 2005 rather than identity my sources to an overzealous prosecutor pursuing the leaking of classified information.

    Epstein had no choice but jail. Unlike ADC, a Virginia-state-run jail, MCC is one of two federal pretrial facilities in New York City. Known as “Manhattan’s Guantanamo” for holding prisoners charged with terrorist crimes, it has a poor reputation.

    While both ADC and MCC are high-security detention facilities that hold high-profile prisoners, my own experience as Inmate #45570083 has led me to conclude that Epstein — Inmate #76318-054 — should have lived to face his accusers, and that in a well-run prison, he would have.

    I shun conspiracy theories — but based on the little that prison officials have said so far, and what I know of life in jail, Epstein’s death is deeply troubling. No one should die of unnatural causes in jail. The investigations must not rest until what happened is revealed.

    WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said he wants a nationwide review of water efficiency standards because of issues with “sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms” across the country.

    “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once. They end up using more water,” Trump said, continuing that the Environmental Protection Agency is “looking at” the issue at “his suggestion.”

    “We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms, where you turn the faucet on in areas where there’s tremendous amounts of water, where it rushes out to sea because you could never handle it. And you don’t get any water. You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water,” Trump said during the White House round-table on small business and red tape reduction.

    EPA spokesman Michael Abboud told USA TODAY that the “EPA is working with all federal partners including Department of Energy to review the implementation of the Federal Energy Management Plan and how its relevant programs interact with it to ensure American consumers have more choice when purchasing water products.”

    Barr was a no-show for his House Judiciary Committee appearance after he and Democratic lawmakers couldn’t agree on the terms of the hearing. Barr’s decision prompted Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., to bring a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a toy chicken to the session and branded the attorney general as “Chicken Barr.”

    The ABC funnyman wasn’t entirely impressed.

    “Wow, what a sick burn that is,” Kimmel sarcastically said to his audience. “Trump’s gonna win again with stuff like that, isn’t he?”

    Kimmel wasn’t the only late-night comedian to poke fun at the chicken-filled Congress. “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah insisted that the “stunt” wasn’t going to bring back Barr but perhaps someone else.

    “It will get Donald Trump to come and see Congress,” Noah said. “He saw that KFC bucket and was like, ‘fuel up Air Force One. We’re going to Congress.'”

    “Late Night” host Seth Meyers mocked Cohen for his overly obvious message that Barr was a “chicken.”

    “Dude, if you want KFC, just order KFC. It’s fine,” Meyers told the Democratic congressman. “You don’t need to tie it into the hearing.”

    On Monday, TikTok also said that it would withdraw from app stores in Hong Kong, where a new national security law from China was enacted. The company said it would make the app inoperable to users there within a few days.

    After Amazon’s first email on Friday, TikTok said in a statement that user security was “of the utmost importance” and that it was committed to user privacy. It added, “While Amazon did not communicate to us before sending their email, and we still do not understand their concerns, we welcome a dialogue.”

    Before Amazon sent out its second message on Friday, Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri, who has called for investigations into the national security ramifications of Chinese apps, said, “The whole federal government should follow suit.”

    TikTok has long been a concern of American intelligence officials, who fear the social networking app is a thinly veiled data collection service. Over the past six months, security researchers have only furthered those concerns with a series of discoveries.

    Last month, a researcher uncovered that TikTok had the ability to siphon off anything a user copied to a clipboard on a smartphone — passwords, photos and other sensitive data like Social Security numbers, emails and texts. The researcher began posting the findings on the online message board Reddit.

    The researcher, who goes by the handle Bangorlol, also said that TikTok was capturing data about a user’s phone hardware and data on other apps installed on the phone. Many of these abilities are found in other apps, but TikTok’s developers had gone out of their way to prevent anyone from analyzing the app, the researcher said.

    “This was very concerning and very rare,” Oded Vanunu, who leads research into product vulnerability at the Israeli security firm Check Point, said about the findings. “There’s been a lot of fear and speculation about this app, but the recent findings are raising big questions.”

    Sharp contractions in personal consumption, exports, inventories, investment and spending by state and local governments all converged to bring down GDP, which is the combined tally of all goods and services produced during the period.

    Personal consumption, which historically has accounted for about two-thirds of all activity in the U.S., subtracted 25% from the Q2 total, with services accounting for nearly all that drop. 

    Spending slid in health care and goods such as clothing and footwear. Inventory investment drops were led by motor vehicle dealers, while equipment spending and new family housing took hits when it came to investment.

    Prices for domestic purchases, a key inflation indicator, fell 1.5% for the period, compared to a 1.4% increase in the first quarter when GDP fell 5%, The personal consumption expenditures price index dropped 1.9% after rising a tepid 1.3% in Q1. Excluding food and energy, the “core” PCE prices were off 1.1%.

    However, personal income soared, thanks in large part to government transfer payments associated with the coronavorus pandemic. Current-dollar personal income rose more than six-fold to $1.39 trillion, while disposable personal income shot up 42.1% to $1.53 trillion.

    Despite the rise, personal outlays tumbled by $1.57 trillion, due in large part to a drop in services spending.

    Imports surged 10% for the month, offsetting the 9.4% drop in exports.

    More than half of Americans say they support President Joe Biden‘s performance in office so far and approve of his sweeping infrastructure proposal, according to a new NBC News poll.

    The poll findings released Sunday showed that 53% of respondents approve of Biden’s job in office, including 90% of Democrats, 61% of independents and 9% of Republicans, while 39% of respondents disapprove of Biden’s performance.

    The president also received support for his coronavirus relief package passed in March and his $2 trillion infrastructure proposal aimed to help boost the post-pandemic economy.

    The poll showed that 46% percent of Americans believed the president’s $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill —which sent direct payments to Americans and extended unemployment insurance, among other policies —was a good idea, while 25% said it was a bad idea and 26% did not have an opinion.

    Additionally, 61% of respondents said they believe the worst of the pandemic is over in the U.S., while only 19% think the worst is yet to come.

    Biden’s infrastructure plan, which aims to revitalize U.S. transportation infrastructure, water systems, broadband and manufacturing, as well as combat climate change, was also popular among respondents. 59% said the plan is a good idea, while 21% disagreed and 19% did not have an opinion.

    Responses diverged across party lines: 87% of Democrats, 68% of independents and 21% of Republicans said they supported the infrastructure plan.

    “What we don’t know is if this is part of a 100-day honeymoon or something more durable and lasting for the Biden-Harris administration,” Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who conducted the poll with Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, told NBC News.

    “What we do know is that Joe Biden’s presidency is meeting the times,” Horwitt said.

    The president also received high marks on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which garnered 69% approval, as well as his handling of the economy, which received 52% approval.

    On the issue of uniting the country and grappling with race relations, 52% and 49% of respondents approved, respectively.

    Participants were less happy with how Biden has handled relations with China, gun issues and border security and immigration. The poll also showed that 80% of people still believe the U.S. is mostly divided, despite Biden’s pledge to unify the country.

    The poll surveyed 1,000 adults nationwide from April 17 to April 20. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

    (CNN)Let’s start with what we know almost for sure — the Senate’s impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is likely to end with his acquittal. Conviction would require 20 Republicans to side with Democrats, and at the moment, there’s no sign that any Republican senators are ready to vote to remove Trump from office.
