Trump administration asks Supreme Court to halt order providing full SNAP payments for November

BOSTON (AP) — Residents in some U.S. states began to receive their full SNAP food aid Friday as an appeals court left in place, for now, an order requiring President Donald Trump's administration to fund the monthly benefits amid a U.S. government shutdown.

Letitia James calls mortgage fraud case against her vindictive and asks judge to dismiss it

WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Attorney General Letitia James asked a federal judge Friday to dismiss a mortgage fraud case against her, calling it a vindictive and politically motivated prosecution brought at the behest of a president who regards her as an enemy.
