A woman who accused Donald Trump of molesting her on an airplane during a flight in the late 1970s testified Tuesday May 2, in support of the writer E. Jean Carroll, who alleges that a flirtatious 1996 encounter with the future U.S. president ended in a violent sexual attack.   Jessica Leeds, 81, of Asheville, N.C., said Trump accosted her with what seemed like "40 zillion hands." She joined other witnesses who supported the testimony of Carroll, a longtime advice columnist who publicly aired her claims against Trump in 2019, when she published her memoir. Trump has repeatedly denied the claims, saying Carroll lied to sell books and disparage him.   The witnesses were meant to support Carroll's testimony that Trump raped her in the dressing room of a luxury department store in midtown Manhattan. Carroll's testimony lasted over three days and ended Monday.   Lisa Birnbach, Carroll's friend, testified that an emotional and hyperventilating Carroll telep...

  Some of the serious charges against American singer, Trey Songz, has been dropped after he took a plea deal in the bowling alley attack case against him.   Recall that Trey was accused in October of punching a woman repeatedly in the face in a NY bowling alley bathroom, with the woman claiming he also dragged her by her hair. Another man also claimed the singer punched him in the eye during the incident. Songz turned himself in to police a few weeks later.   Songz pled guilty to a single disorderly conduct violation in connection with the incident on Tuesday, May 2, and it was gathered that prosecutors agreed to dismiss the 10 original charges against him which include assault and aggravated harassment.   As part of the plea deal, Trey now has to complete 12 anger management classes by August, and sources close to the case told TMZ he's already gotten a head start on them.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he had no conversations with the White House after a trove of classified US intelligence documents were posted on social media. The documents allegedly leaked by 21-year-old Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira disclosed a blunt US intelligence assessment of the war in Ukraine, as well as details revealing US intelligence collection on allies such as Ukraine, South Korea and Israel. Defense and intelligence sources say the leak exposed glaring weaknesses in how the Pentagon safeguards its most sensitive secrets. In response, the US Air Force suspended two leaders of Teixeira’s Massachusetts Air National Guard unit last Wednesday, a week after that unit ceased its intelligence mission amid an investigation. Teixeira faces charges under the Espionage Act after allegedly posting the sensitive intelligence to the social media platform Discord, but has yet to enter a plea. A judge at Teixeira’s custody hearing last week said he would...
