Greece’s Asylum Freeze Sparks Global Outcry Amid Crete Migrant Surge

In a move that has ignited fierce backlash from human rights organizations and the United Nations, Greece has passed legislation temporarily halting asylum applications from migrants arriving by sea from North Africa. The three-month suspension, approved by parliament with 177 votes in favor and 74 against, allows for expedited repatriation without prior identification. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis defended the measure as a “difficult but necessary decision” in response to a sharp rise in irregular arrivals, particularly from Libya to the island of Crete. Over 7,000 migrants have reached Crete and nearby Gavdos this year, straining local resources and prompting concerns from the tourism industry. Rights groups, including the International Rescue Committee, have condemned the ban as illegal and inhumane, warning it violates international and European law.

Ex-Prosecutor Identifies Game-Changing Testimony in Trump’s Hush Money Trial


In a dramatic turn of events during the trial related to hush money payments, former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner highlighted a piece of testimony that could haunt Donald Trump. The trial centers around allegations that Trump falsified business documents to conceal payments made to porn actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

On election night in 2016, attorney Keith Davidson, who represented Stormy Daniels at the time, texted then-National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard with a revealing question: “What have we done?” This message came as it became increasingly apparent that Trump would win the election. The Enquirer had also engaged in a “catch and kill” initiative to bury potentially damaging stories about Trump.

Kirschner described this testimony as “breathtaking” and emphasized that it directly undermines one of Trump’s key defense assertions. Davidson’s acknowledgment of his actions potentially impacting the election result suggests that they recognized the damage caused by their conduct. Moreover, it’s clear that the hush money payments were intended to influence the election, not merely to conceal information from Melania or Trump’s family.

This revelation could have far-reaching consequences for Trump’s criminal responsibility. It challenges the defense’s attempts to distance Trump from any wrongdoing. As the trial unfolds, the impact of this admission remains to be seen.
