Guatemalan president says graft fighter biased, ahead of Harris visit

Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei criticized the country’s best-known graft prosecutor for what he said was a left-wing politicization of the fight against corruption, a view at odds with strong U.S. backing for his work. Speaking in an interview with Reuters late on Tuesday, Giammattei nonetheless expressed hope that a visit to Guatemala next week by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will produce shared strategies to create prosperity in rural areas prone to emigration. Harris, a Democrat, is in charge of Washington efforts to tackle the causes of mass migration from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, collectively dubbed the Northern Triangle, including a focus on corruption and poor governance that she says limit opportunities. There is a $4 billion U.S. aid package to the reg...

It’s been a privilege to cover the City of New York for its liveliest, wittie...

Kamala Harris Faces Criticism For Wearing Controversial Brand Dolce & Gabbana

“Madame vice president-elect has a lot of work to do,” wrote fashion editor André Leon Talley of Kamala Harris’s polarising American Vogue cover. “And she is not thinking every day about how she is looking.” While Talley is absolutely correct on that point, it’s also true that what the Vice President wears is political – and fans aren’t too happy with her recent choice of a Dolce & Gabbana suit. It’s difficult enough being a women in politics and having your every move – and fashion choice – being much more heavily scrutinised than your male counterparts. Then, there’s the added pressure of representing such monumental, historical change. Although Harris has done well so far, she and her team aren’t going to ...

Donald Trump allies in Congress to challenge his loss to Joe Biden

A band of President Donald Trump’s Republican allies planned a last-ditch effort on Wednesday to undo his election loss to Democrat Joe Biden, a bid almost certain to fail that comes on the same day their party is poised to lose its majority in the Senate. The Republican-led Senate and Democratic-controlled House of Representatives were due to meet to formally certify Biden’s victory in the Nov. 3 election in proceedings that could stretch past midnight. In a joint session of Congress, Trump’s allies plan to challenge the results from a handful of states won by Biden. Thousands of pro-Trump protesters converged on Washington ahead of the session at his urging. Some clashed with police overnight. Biden won the election by a 306-232 count in the state-by-state Electoral College and by a marg...
