By Zachary B. Wolf | CNNDefenders of former President Donald Trump have responded to news of his indictment by the US Department of Justice with deflection: Why is Trump being charged but not President Joe Biden’s son Hunter?“The two standards of justice under Biden’s DOJ is appalling. When will Hunter Biden be charged?” tweeted Rep. Steve Daines of Montana, who has already endorsed Trump’s 2024 campaign and who is in charge of coordinating Republicans’ strategy for keeping control of the House of Representatives.The facts, however, are much less clear.Fueling Republicans’ frustration this week is a standoff on Capitol Hill over a document detailing an interview conducted years ago based on a tip given to the DOJ by former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.Giuliani, you might recall, had been tasked with digging up dirt on the Bidens. House Republicans are convinced the interview with the confidential informant, based on Giuliani’s allegations, implicates both the president and his son.T...Trump support is a sign of Miami’s shift to the right

By Adriana Gomez Licon and Joshua Goodman | Associated PressMIAMI — Florida’s shift to the right is perhaps nowhere more notable than in this vibrant swath of the state’s southeast coast where the latest Donald Trump drama is unfolding.Republicans have made steady inroads in this former Democratic stronghold in recent years, culminating in the GOP carrying Miami-Dade County in last year’s midterm elections. The party’s broader future could now hinge on what happens next in south Florida -– but for a very different reason.Trump, the former president who is again the front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination, will make his first appearance in federal court Tuesday in Miami, where he faces 37 felony counts related to charges of illegal retention of classified information.The charges have propelled Miami into the center of a storyline that, until recently, was largely thought to be unfolding in a grand jury room in Washington. And it has brought to the forefront T...Where do Thairo Estrada, J.D. Davis, LaMonte Wade Jr. stand in first MLB All-Star voting update?

Something was brewing this weekend when Keaton Winn, one of the Giants’ promising young arms, didn’t make his scheduled start at Triple-A Sacramento. The 25-year-old right-hander wasn’t, to the surprise of some, at Oracle Park over the weekend, though.The move was made Monday, before San Francisco’s series opener in St. Louis.Winn, a hard-throwing righty with a nasty split-finger, was called up to make his major-league debut, arriving to provide some relief to a bullpen that has covered all 18 innings of the past two games. Right-hander Tristan Beck, who has earned plaudits from Gabe Kapler for his solid work in a bulk role, was optioned to Sacramento in a corresponding move.Winn, 25, was rated the Giants’ No. 14 prospect by MLB.com and Baseball America in their preseason rankings. Returning from a two-year absence due to the pandemic and elbow surgery, Winn rose from Single-A San Jose to Double-A Richmond last season and began this season at Triple-A, ...Bay Area real estate deal tied to LinkedIn hints at wobbly real market

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- In another big blow to San Francisco's downtown, Westfield will be pulling out from operating San Francisco Centre's largest mall. The company had operated San Francisco Centre for more than two decades, but a steep decline in shoppers and an increase in "challenging operating conditions" heavily impacts sales numbers. A spokesperson for Westfield wrote Monday, "For more than 20 years, Westfield has proudly and successfully operated San Francisco Centre, investing significantly over that time in the vitality of the property. Given the challenging operating conditions in downtown San Francisco, which have led to declines in sales, occupancy and foot traffic, we have made the difficult decision to begin the process to transfer management of the shopping center to our lender to allow them to appoint a receiver to operate the property going forward."Westfield listed troubling performance numbers as reasons for its decision to leave San Francisco.
