WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case in Washington on Sunday reimposed a narrow gag order barring him from making public comments targeting prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses.The reinstatement of the gag order was revealed in a brief notation on the online case docket Sunday night, but the order itself was not immediately available, making it impossible to see the judge’s rationale or the precise contours of the restrictions.U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over the federal case charging Trump with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, had temporarily lifted the gag order as she considered the former president’s request to keep it on hold while he challenges the restrictions on his speech in higher courts. But Chutkan agreed to reinstate the order after prosecutors cited Trump’s recent social media comments about his former chief of staff they said represented...

Broncos’ Ja’Quan McMillian picks Patrick Mahomes for first career interception: “He’s starting to play confident”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:23:30 GMT

On the afternoon Denver finally put its historic losing streak to Kansas City to bed, the team got a major lift from an undersized under-the-radar defender.That’s nickel Ja’Quan McMillian, who picked off Patrick Mahomes and logged a pair of tackles for loss in the Broncos’ 24-9 win Sunday.“He’s starting to play confident,” safety Justin Simmons said. “Any time you can go out there and play confident, you play faster and things slow down for you. He’s getting into a rhythm and a flow in his preparation and his film study throughout the week. He’s been asking questions and I just think he does such a good job of feeling what the offense is trying to give him and how they’re trying to set it up.”McMillian went undrafted in 2022 out of East Carolina but hung around Denver’s practice squad most of the year and then made a Week 18 start against the Los Angeles Chargers.He started this year as a special teamer and reserve defensive back, but took over the starting nickel spot after the tea...

Say goodbye to ‘Brocktober’: Purdy turnovers costly for 49ers against Bengals

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:23:30 GMT

SANTA CLARA — It wasn’t so long ago when October looked like it would be “Brocktober,” with the 49ers riding the wave of their unlikely second-year quarterback to an 8-0 record heading into the bye week, casting an eye toward the playoffs and Super Bowl LVIII.It seems like a lifetime ago after three consecutive losses, with Brock Purdy throwing two bad interceptions that helped account for the final margin Sunday in a demoralizing 31-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Levi’s Stadium.That’s five interceptions over the last three games after throwing none over the first five. There was almost a sixth — wiped out by penalty — in the final minutes, and then Purdy lost the ball anyway on a sack-fumble as Cincinnati was celebrating after improving its record to 4-3.Purdy became a national story in part because of good judgment, the ability to straddle the line between risk and reward and above all staying away from turnovers.“Even wh...

The San Jose Sharks keep losing. Here’s why they feel there’s better days just ahead

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:23:30 GMT

The San Jose Sharks lost their ninth straight game to open the season Sunday. But to coach David Quinn and a few of his players, this one felt a little bit different.Welcoming center Mikael Granlund back to the lineup after a seven-game absence, the Sharks hung into the puck longer, improved their forecheck and breakouts, and created a few more scoring chances – at least more than they had earlier on their road trip and during their season-opening homestand.The result, though, remained the same, as the Sharks allowed third-period goals to Dylan Strome and Tom Wilson before they gave up an empty-netter to Evgeny Kuznetsov in a 3-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.Mackenzie Blackwood was terrific in net as he made 39 saves. But as had been the case in seven of the Sharks’ first eight games, their goalie needed to be perfect for them to earn their first win of the season.With the one goal, a first-period marker by Luke Kunin, the Sharks (0-8-1) became the ninth team in NHL history, and ...
