ATLANTA (AP) — Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows took the witness stand at a hearing Monday to deny two of the allegations made against him in a Georgia indictment accusing him of participating in an illegal scheme to overturn the 2020 election.Meadows, who was charged this month along with former President Donald Trump and 17 other people, is seeking to fight the charges in federal court rather than in state court. As part of that effort, he testified that he never asked White House personnel officer John McEntee to draft a memo to Vice President Mike Pence on how to delay certification of the election.“When this came out in the indictment, it was the biggest surprise for me,” Meadows said Monday. He later said, “Me asking Johnny McEntee for this kind of a memo just didn’t happen.”He also said he did not text the Georgia secretary of state’s office chief investigator, Frances Watson, as the indictment alleged. Rather, he said he believes that text was sent to Jordan Fuc...

CHICAGO (AP) — A shooting that wounded two women at Friday night’s Chicago White Sox-Oakland Athletics game most likely involved a gun that went off inside Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago’s interim police superintendent said Monday.Officials have said little about where the bullets came from, or if someone brought a gun into the stadium, but Fred Waller, interim superintendent of Chicago Police Department, said Monday that investigators have nearly ruled out the possibility that the shots came from outside the ballpark, the Chicago Tribune reported.“We’re dispelling a lot of things,” Waller said during a brief media availability. “(A shot) coming from outside is something we’ve almost completely dispelled. We’re still looking at every avenue. It’s still under investigation. Something from inside, it could’ve happened that way. We’re looking at every avenue, exploring every lead and everything that we can get.”A spokesperson for Major League Baseball declined comment Monda...

Boston is only getting stronger.The 10th annual “A Leg Forever” charity golf tournament at Indian Ridge Country Club in Andover was a sellout Monday as 158 contestants pitched in $250 per player to help Boston Marathon bombing victims cope.“It’s humbling,” said Liz Norden, whose sons J.P. and Paul lost their right legs in the 2013 explosions at the finish line on Boylston Street.But that’s not what this August tournament is about.

They don’t get enough credit,” said Marc Fucarile, who nearly died when the bombs got him, too.Fucarile said the “kindness and generosity of others” give marathon survivors strength.Liz Norden wanted to thank “all the sponsors” — but especially Lighthouse Electrical Contracting of Higham and La Famigli...

Robbins: And in this candidate corner, inmate #PO1135809

It wasn’t a midnight train to Georgia that carried the 19 criminal defendants charged by a Fulton County grand jury to that county’s sheriff’s office to have their mug shots taken last week, but one by one they all made the humiliating trek to the local jail to post the bond needed to avoid sitting in prison until their trials and to have the photographs snapped that would memorialize their disgrace.Those dreadfully humbled included former president Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Ken Chesebro and Jenna Ellis, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark and Trump’s uber-consigliere Rudy Giuliani.Of that sorry band, no one has been humiliated more thoroughly than Giuliani, who has gone from being America’s Mayor in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001 to being a broke, broken and bankrupt laughingstock. Stripped of licenses to practice law, sanctioned by courts for contemptuous misconduct and reduced to begging a disdainf...
