Washington (AFP) - A 20-year-old man from Missouri pleaded guilty on Monday to crashing a rented truck into a White House fence in a quixotic bid to "seize political power." Sai Varshith Kandula drove a U-haul truck into a fence surrounding the White House in May of last year. Kandula was arrested by Park Police and Secret Service officers after exiting the vehicle and waving a Nazi flag. He pleaded guilty to a charge of willful injury and destruction of property, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia said in a statement. Kandula, who was born in Chandanagar, India, and was living in th...

Washington (AFP) - Normally they're the ones grilling Washington power players. But the tables have been turned on the White House press corps. A news report made waves Friday in the US capital with its humorous -- but detailed -- investigation into rampant theft from the press section of Air Force One, the president's official plane. "For years, scores of journalists -- and others -- have quietly stuffed everything from engraved whiskey tumblers to wine glasses to pretty much anything with the Air Force One insignia on it into their bag before stepping off the plane," Politico reported.

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden's ambitious 2025 budget proposal, published Monday, is almost certain to be dead on arrival in the sharply divided US Congress ahead of national elections later this year. Instead, the 2025 budget serves as a blueprint of the administration's policy priorities, and highlights the sharp divisions between Democrats and Republicans ahead of Biden's likely rematch with former president Donald Trump in November. In a speech in Washington on Monday before the proposals were published, Biden touted the US economy as a "great comeback story." "Nearly 15 million ...

Washington (AFP) - The United States told Israel on Wednesday to scale down its war on Hamas in the "near future," with President Joe Biden urging it to take more care to save civilian lives in Gaza. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan made the push during talks in Tel Aviv with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials, discussing the war Israel launched after the October 7 attacks. Washington has strongly backed Israel's right to defend itself, but mounting civilian casualties in the Palestinian territory have caused a growing rift between the close allies. "I want ...

Washington (AFP) - The Hamas attack on key US ally Israel has caused emotions to run high in a place better known for the steely exercise of power -- the White House. President Joe Biden has given several strongly worded speeches pledging support for Israel since Saturday's assault by the Palestinian militant group, and at one point pounded on a lectern to make his point. Emotion got the better of a senior White House official who choked up on live television as he discussed the attacks. Biden's national security advisor admitted the crisis was "personal for us." The unusually open displays re...
