Michael Cohen, the once loyal lawyer of former President Donald Trump, had been cashing in on the ex-president’s hush money trial by discussing the case on nightly TikTok livestreams — something legal experts warn may spoil his credibility as a key witness. Ahead of taking the witness stand, Cohen has earned money through donations made by viewers of his nightly live streams, during which he has discussed Trump, the ongoing trial, and the testimony, according to hours of streams viewed by ABC News. “Trump 2024?” Cohen said during a live stream last Tuesday. “More like Trump 20-40 years.” While Cohen’s...

The QAnon believer who allegedly decapitated his dad, showing off the federal employee’s severed head in an online video, had earlier waged an unhinged legal battle against the government over his student loans — claiming he should have been warned he still wouldn’t be able to get a job because he was an “overeducated white man.” Justin Mohn, 33, was taken into custody Tuesday night on suspicion of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and possessing an instrument of crime with intent in the killing of his 68-year-old father, Michael Mohn.

The 32-year-old Brooklyn man fatally stabbed by an unhinged suspect in a “horrific, brutal murder” Monday was remembered by friends as a big-hearted activist and talented poet — who once talked a mugger down from trying to rob him. Ryan Carson of Bedford-Stuyvesant was stabbed multiple times in the chest by a stranger just before 4 a.m. as he waited with his gal pal at the B38 bus stop at Lafayette Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard – after the pair left a wedding, cops and sources said. “It’s a horrific, brutal murder of someone who worked piously to help make...

Three “fairly mummified” bodies were discovered in a remote Rocky Mountains campsite in Colorado this week — and may have been there since last year, authorities said. One of the bodies was located by a hiker on Sunday, while two others were found by authorities on Monday, Gunnison County Sheriff Adam Murdie said. Two of the bodies were found inside a small, zipped-up tent while the other was outside in the camp. The bodies were found in a wooded, remote area, away from areas typically frequented by hikers. “This is not a typical occurrence anywhere, by any means,” Murdie said.

The Ukrainian army on Wednesday said that Russian forces have begun to retreat in the key city of Bakhmut — just as President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that more time is needed to prepare for a counterstrike.

A billionaire venture capitalist and partner at Sequoia Capital has blasted San Francisco’s seedy, drug-addled downtown — lambasting the city’s Democrat leadership for leaving them “zombie zones.” “It’s a strange city that bans plastic straws but permits plastic needles. Yet that’s San Francisco today,” Michael Moritz, 68, seethed in a fiery op-ed published in the Financial Times on Wednesday. “Between 2020 and 2022, 1,985 people here have died from drug overdoses compared to 1,143 from Covid-19,” he added.
