By Fredreka Schouten | CNNRep. George Santos has named himself the treasurer of his campaign committee, marking the latest twist in a monthslong saga over puzzling filings his campaign has made with federal regulators.The new filing, made late Friday afternoon with the Federal Election Commission, comes a little more than a week after federal prosecutors unveiled a 13-count criminal indictment, charging the New York Republican with wire fraud, fraudulently obtaining Covid-19 unemployment benefits and lying about his personal finances on forms he submitted to the US House of Representatives as a candidate. He has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the charges.Santos’ lawyer and an aide did not immediately respond to CNN’s inquiries on Friday evening.Questions long have swirled about the identity of Santos’ campaign treasurer.

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:50:07 GMT

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Forget defending his PGA Championship title. Justin Thomas had to scramble on his final hole to simply make the cut at Oak Hill on Friday.Two former PGA champions, Jason Day and Jimmy Walker, are out.So is Talor Gooch, whose failure to make the cut at 5-over 145 cost him a chance to earn a spot in the U.S. Open next month. Gooch is ranked 63rd in the world, with the U.S. Open inviting the top 60 after this week.And leave it to Phil Mickelson to correctly predict he’d still be playing this weekend after a second-round score of 2-over 72 pushed his two-round total to 145.The 156-man field was slashed to 76 players for the final two rounds.Thomas, ranked 13th in the world, turned making the cut into an adventure. He was 4 over on the 18th tee and his drive landed landed in a fairway bunker. His first attempt caught the lip and stayed in the sand. He punched the ball within 95 yards of the hole on his second attempt and eventually made an 8-foot putt for bogey.Jor...

Dos auxiliares de vuelo se enamoraron en un avión. Esto fue lo que pasó después

(CNN) — En un reciente vuelo transatlántico de Florida a Londres, los auxiliares de vuelo Hunter Smith-Lihas y John Lihas, ambos casados, cruzaron miradas al otro lado del pasillo.Ambos se sonrieron antes de volver a servir champán a los pasajeros de primera clase.Esta sonrisa compartida fue fugaz, pero lo dijo todo. Y más tarde, cuando Hunter y John estaban de vacaciones al mismo tiempo, la pareja se encontró sentada en la sala de descanso de la tripulación, reflexionando sobre la vida en común y las carreras que han construido juntos.“Pasé cinco minutos en el avión contigo, cuando ni siquiera debía hacerlo, y ahora vivimos juntos en la ciudad, y tú estás sentado frente a mí en el avión y trabajamos juntos”, recuerda Hunter que le dijo a John.“Cuando conoces a alguien por primera vez, nunca piensas que llegará tan lejos. Es algo surrealista. Y, sinceramente, te hace muy feliz, porque te preguntas cómo es que llegué hasta aquí”.Encuentro en un aviónLa h...

Mickelson relieved to make PGA Championship cut after 2nd-round struggles

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:50:07 GMT

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — After plunking a tee shot in the water, and missing 10 fairways and six greens in regulation, Phil Mickelson closed a haphazard second round at the PGA Championship on Friday clinging to the one positive he could find.Poorly as Lefty played in carding a 2-over 72 that put him at 5-over 145 at Oak Hill, Mickelson anticipated he did enough to make the cut.“I’m just a fraction off. This is as bad as I’ve played in a long time,” Mickelson said. “And yet, I’m still here on the weekend and I have a chance to turn it around.”The two-time PGA Championship winner, who teed off in the morning, ultimately made the cut on the number, one of 76 players advancing to the weekend.And it wouldn’t be extraordinary for Mickelson, who has won 45 PGA Tour events and six majors, to mount a charge. He did so as recently as the Masters last month, when he shot a fourth-round low of 7-under 65 to finish in a tie for second with Brooks Koepka.Yet Mickelson’s surge at Augusta seems more...

Lukashenko’s Belarus isn’t going anywhere just yet

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:50:07 GMT

Sergei Kuznetsov is a freelance journalist covering Eastern Europe. His work has been published in European outlets, including the Financial Times and POLITICO.The health of a nation’s leader would hardly disrupt the stability of a country with democratically elected institutions and prevailing rule of law. However, it may spell great trouble for authoritarian Belarus, where the entire political system has been concentrated in the hands of a single person.Sixty-eight-year-old Alexander Lukashenko has ruled Belarus since 1994, and his apparently shattered health was thrust into the spotlight recently, after an unusual public absence for almost a week after the Victory Day parade in Moscow earlier this month.Lukashenko looked unhealthy during the celebrations, which he left ahead of other attending post-Soviet leaders. And when he reappeared in public in Belarus, his battered appearance and bandaged left arm only added to mounting speculation regarding his condition.“There are many ru...
