Latest: Prince Harry wasn’t unfairly stripped of UK security detail after he moved to the US, a judge rules

LONDON -- LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry 's fight for publicly funded protection was rejected Wednesday by a London judge who said the U.K. government didn't act irrationally in deciding to strip him of security privileges after he quit his role working as a member of the royal family and moved to the U.S. Harry plans to appeal the ruling.High Court Judge Peter Lane said the February 2020 decision to provide security to the Duke of Sussex on an as-needed basis wasn't unlawful, irrational or unjustified.“Insofar as the case-by-case approach may otherwise have caused difficulties, they have not been shown to be such as to overcome the high hurdle so as to render the decision-making irrational,” Lane wrote in the 51-page ruling.A spokesperson for Harry said that he planned to appeal the ruling...

Latest: Biden’s team signaling a more aggressive posture toward the press

NEW YORK -- Occupants of the White House have grumbled over news coverage practically since the place was built. Now it's Joe Biden's turn: With a reelection campaign underway, there are signs that those behind the president are starting to more aggressively and publicly challenge how he is portrayed.Within the past two weeks, an administration aide sent an unusual letter to the White House Correspondents' Association complaining about coverage of a special counsel's report on Biden's handling of classified documents. In addition, the president's campaign objected to its perception that negative stories about Biden's age got more attention than remarks by Donald Trump about the NATO alliance.It's not quite “enemy of the people” territory. But it is noticeable.“It is a strategy,” said Fr...

Just In: Film critic called out by fans for refusing to review Madame Web
