In a shocking turn of events, Jordan Chiles has been stripped of her bronze medal in the women's floor exercise final at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The decision comes after a successful appeal by Romania, arguing that Team USA's appeal for Chiles' score was not made within the permitted one-minute time frame. However, Chiles has no plans to return the medal, as Team USA plans to appeal the decision. The controversy has sparked outrage and debate on social media, with many accusing the ruling bodies of racial bias and procedural errors. Chiles herself has called the decision 'unjust', and USA Gymnastics insists that Landi's appeal came 13 seconds before the deadline, with video evidence to support their claim.

Gaetz resigned from the US House of Representatives in November 2022, after being picked by former President Donald Trump for US attorney general. The Ethics Committee's report has not been released since 2006, breaking from its long-standing practice and opening itself up to criticism. The report's release has been seen as an attempt to weaponize the committee's process.

Trump Files Appeal to Delay Sentencing in Hush Money Case
Former President Donald Trump has filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, asking for a stay that would delay his sentencing in the New York hush money case. The move comes a day after District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied Trump's bid to move the criminal case to federal court. In the appeal, Trump's attorneys argue that the former president's case belongs in federal court because the allegations and evidence in the case relate to Trump's official acts as president. They also emphasize the 'irreparable harm' of allowing the sentencing to proceed, as it could result in Trump's 'unconstitutional incarceration while the 2024 Presidential election is imminent.'
