Francis Chung / Bloomberg via Getty Images Updated June 5, 2025, 7:26 AM EDT Trump said tonight he will deny visas for foreign students trying to come to the United States to attend Harvard University, his latest attack on the prominent Ivy League college. The administration tried late last month to revoke Harvard's ability to enroll foreign students — a move that was swiftly blocked by a federal judge. In a proclamation, Trump said Harvard failed to present sufficient information about its foreign students to the federal government. Read the full story here. Trump on Wednesday directed a wide-ranging investigation into former President Joe Biden and officials in his administration, accusing his aides of using 'autopen' signatures to cover up his 'cognitive decline' and assert presidential power. Trump frequently uses Biden as a political foil and has sought to undo a number of policies from his predecessor's administration since he returned to office. Read the full story here. In a return of one of the most controversial policies of his first term, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday banning nationals from a dozen countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti and the Republic of Congo, from entering the United States. Trump framed the new restrictions, which primarily target African and Asian countries, as necessary to fortify national security and combat terrorism. Read the full story here.

Prosecutor Christy Slavik questions Derek Ferguson, the former chief financial officer for Sean "Diddy" Combs' record label Bad Boy Records at Comb's sex trafficking trial in New York on Tursday. Jane Rosenberg / Reuters Updated June 4, 2025, 6:46 AM EDT Eddy Garcia, a former security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, testified yesterday that Combs and his team desperately wanted to get the sole copy of the security video that showed the music mogul attacking his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in March 2016. In exchange for $100,000 divided among the hotel's security team members, Garcia testified that he signed a nondisclosure agreement that called for his silence and the destruction of evidence. Garcia admitted on the stand that he was so "nervous" about the NDA that he didn't read it all before he signed it. He said the Combs presented stacks of cash in a brown paper bag and that he used his share of the money to buy a used car. Frank Piazza, a forensic video expert, and Bryana Bongolan, who alleges that Diddy dangled her over an apartment balcony, may testify today. Yesterday, prosecutors said they were concerned about Victim-2's identity, who is referred to under the pseudonym "Jane." Jane is expected to take the stand on Thursday.

Law enforcement officials dress in protective gear to investigate after an attack on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colo., on Sunday. David Zalubowski / AP Updated June 1, 2025, 7:26 PM EDT Brooke Coffman was walking down Pearl Street on her lunch break today when she saw a commotion near the courthouse. Worried someone was 'getting beat up,' she approached the area. Then, 'I saw this big fire go up,' Coffman told NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver. Coffman said she called 911 as she rushed toward the fiery scene. She said she saw two women 'rolling around a little bit' in their underwear after having strippedout of their burning clothes with 'really bad burns all up on their legs.' Another woman nearby, also with burns on her legs, was screaming. Coffman could barely make out the face of one of the women, she said, choking up, adding the woman's hair was burned off. 'It just wasn't a good scene,' Coffman said. Others nearby rushed to the scene with jugs of water, dousing the victims, Coffman said. She said that she saw at least seven people down, mostly older women, but that she heard there were more victims, including children. She said she saw a shirtless man screaming while he waved a glass bottle that contained a liquid. 'I know it's Boulder, it's Pearl Street, some stuff happens ... but you just don't really think it's going to happen right here, you don't think it's something you're going to see, so many people hurt," Coffman said. FBI Director Kash Patel the incident a 'targeted terror attack' on X as agents were on the scene assisting local police with the investigation. Dan Bongino, the FBI's deputy director, echoed Patel's assessment, saying on X: 'We are investigating this incident as an act of terror, and targeted violence. All of the necessary assets will be dedicated to this investigation.' Multiple people were injured when an attacker used a weapon to set people on fire during a regular demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, to buoy awareness of hostages held by Hamas militants in Gaza. The group Run for Their Lives — Boulder has been holding the demonstrations fairly regularly, sometimes weekly, since Thanksgiving 2023, following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said a suspect was in custody following the afternoon violence and had suffered minor injuries that required hospitalizations. Read the full story here.
