His plea was accepted by US District Judge Ramona Manglona in a federal courthouse on the island of Saipan, a territory of the US in the remote Northern Mariana Islands, and was “sentenced” to time he already served in the UK.

Kennedy declared his candidacy in mid-April, joining author Marianne Williamson as a Democratic presidential challenger. He immediately started registering in the polls, hitting 19% in a Fox News survey after his campaign announcement. Since then, he’s stayed close to that 19%. He hasn’t, however, gone above that figure in the polling average. This puts Kennedy more than 40 points behind Biden in national Democratic primary surveys. The president is averaging in the mid-60s nationally, and there is zero sign his support is weakening.

An emerging defense of former President Donald Trump is that he should not be criminally charged. The federal indictment released on Friday describes him sloppily hoarding classified documents at his private clubs, after all, not selling secrets to a foreign country. ”You may hate his guts, but he is not a spy; he did not commit espionage,” said Sen.
