WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch over a story on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gayles in Florida wrote in the order issued Monday that Trump had failed to make the argument that the article was published with the intent to be malicious, but gave the president a chance to file an amended complaint. Trump’s lawsuit came after the Journal published an article that described a sexually suggestive letter the newspaper said bore Trump’s signature and was included in an album compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday. Trump has denied writing it. After the ruling, Trump said he has a “powerful case” and will be refiling the complaint.

(WPXI) – Crews have recovered the vehicle that plunged into the icy Monongahela from the Parkway East earlier this year. Pittsburgh police, state police and rescue crews are on the scene at the Southside Riverfront Park. A silver, smashed-up vehicle could be seen being pulled from the river by a tow truck. On January 29, a vehicle went off the Parkway into the river near the 900 block of Second Avenue after striking a snow embankment. Divers used a rope system and a Stokes basket to go into the ice and sub-zero temperatures and bring up the driver, Jacinta Stevens, 31, who later died at the hospital. The vehicle was not removed from the river at the time due to safety concerns.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say the bodies of two workers trapped when a stairwell roof collapsed at a parking garage under construction in Philadelphia have been found. Mayor Cherelle Parker’s announcement on Monday came five days after a section of roof at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s garage fell Wednesday, triggering a collapse across all seven levels. Crews initially rescued three workers injured in the collapse and they were taken to hospitals, where one died. By Thursday, officials said search dogs hadn’t found any signs of life at the collapse site. Crews worked through the weekend to take apart the unstable building to make the search possible and recovery operations began Sunday night. Officials say the workers were found and recovered early Monday.

The Washington County Coroner has identified skeletal remains that were found in a wooded area near Interstate 70 in May of 2025. In a public information release sent out Friday night, Coroner Tim Warco says that through advanced DNA testing, they were able to identify the person as Robertson Wuyoch, 30 of South Strabane Township and formerly of Micronesia. Warco says the cause of death was hanging but there was not enough information to determine the manner of death, but it was not considered to be suspicious. According to the report, Wuyoch was reported missing by family members on June 11, 2020 when he did not return to his North Main Street home after a trip to the store. His remains were discovered by a passerby in a wooded area off of Interstate 70 East in the City Of Washington on May 4, 2025.

CAIRO (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump says the American military has begun a blockade of Iranian ports. Trump’s statement on Monday was part of his effort to force Tehran to open the Strait of Hormuz and accept a deal to end the war that has raged for more than six weeks. Iran responded with threats on all ports in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, taking aim at U.S.-allied countries. That set the stage for an extraordinary showdown that posed serious risks for the global economy and raised the specter that the ceasefire could collapse and the war could resume.

TOKYO (AP) — Oil prices are climbing again as the U.S. military prepares to blockade Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz. The move comes after U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement. The blockade is set to begin Monday at 10 a.m. EDT. Since late February, shipping through the strait has stalled, causing oil prices to rise. On Monday, U.S. crude jumped 7.4% to $103.69 a barrel, while Brent crude rose 7.4% to $102.24. Global markets mostly declined, with major indices in Europe and Asia falling. Analysts expect global trading to remain turbulent.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California has announced he will resign from Congress following multiple sexual assault allegations that prompted loud bipartisan calls for him to step down. The decision Monday caps a swift political fall for the seven-term lawmaker, who had been seen as a frontrunner in California’s gubernatorial race before dropping out as the allegations surfaced, claims he has continued to deny. “I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said on social media. “I will fight the serious false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make.”
