'Beacon of freedom' dims as US initiatives that promote democracy abroad wither under Trump

The United States is pulling back from its role in spreading democratic ideals abroad under President Donald Trump. Experts are raising concerns about the effect on movements that aim to counter authoritarians and build the foundations for representative government. The Trump administration has tried to shutter the U.S. Agency for Global Media, ended a U.S. Agency for International Development democracy initiative and restructured the State Department to eliminate a key global democracy office. It's a departure from America's long role in spreading democracy across the world. Experts say Washington's gutting of such initiatives could accelerate what many see as a trend of democratic backsliding around the globe.

Inside the salacious scandal that derailed Jeanine Pirro's political career

The incident is likely to receive renewed attention now that Pirro is President Donald Trump's pick to be the interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C.

The article from NBC Connecticut details the scandal that derailed Jeanine Pirro's political career, focusing on her husband Al Pirro's legal troubles and personal indiscretions. Al Pirro was convicted of tax fraud in 2000, serving 17 months in prison, and was also linked to organized crime figures. Additionally, Jeanine Pirro faced public scrutiny when it was revealed that Al had fathered a child with another woman during their marriage. These events, combined with Jeanine's own political missteps, such as her failed 2006 run for New York Attorney General, contributed to the decline of her political career. Despite these setbacks, Jeanine Pirro has since found success as a television personality on Fox News, hosting "Justice with Judge Jeanine."
