A new report from Reuters shows that Trump and Republicans were the likely intended beneficiaries of leaks in 2020, as they were in 2016.

Mr. Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The charges stem from a $130,000 hush-money payment that Mr. Trump’s fixer, Michael D.

The chief federal prosecutors in most other New England states have submitted resignations ahead of Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, but in R.I., US Attorney Cunha said he does not plan to resign.
