Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:39:16 GMT

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Moderna is facing intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill over its plan to hike vaccine costs once the federal government stops covering them. When the COVID national emergency order ends and the government runs out of its vaccine stockpile, Americans will have to cover the price of their own shots. In a hearing on Wednesday, lawmakers grilled Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel about the company's plans to price its vaccine around $130 per dose.  Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! "They are thanking the taxpayers of the United States by proposing to quadruple the price of the covid vaccine," Sen. Bernie Sanders said. Senators pointed out that the government spent nearly $2 billion to help Moderna develop the vaccine.

Mystery surrounds possible Trump indictment

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:39:16 GMT

Former President Trump set off a frenzy a few days ago when he declared – without any official word – that he would be arrested on Tuesday, but the case against him in Manhattan has yet to turn up an indictment, lending an air of mystery to if and when the former president will be charged.Reports emerged earlier Wednesday that the grand jury hearing evidence in the probe would not convene on Wednesday, meaning an indictment won’t come until Thursday at the earliest.Fox News reported that at least one more witness was expected to appear on Wednesday before the grand jury, which is hearing evidence about a 2016 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, before that meeting was canceled.Although Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) has taken a series of steps in recent days that suggest he is likely to soon seek an indictment, no official word has emerged on that possibility from his office. “I'm a little confused by all the speculation about why the Manhattan DA...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:39:16 GMT

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced a 0.25 percentage point rate hike on Wednesday after a closely watched meeting of the central bank’s rate-setting committee, which many analysts had been hoping would result in a pause.Prioritizing concerns about inflation over recent instability in the banking sector, which has spurred interventions from both the government and larger U.S. banks, Powell called the financial sector “sound and resilient.”But he also dropped some hints that things may not be as peaceful as they appear on the surface and as government officials have been saying they are. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told a banking group this week financial conditions were stabilizing.Powell also acknowledged that the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) that sparked the wider crisis in the banking industry happened despite the engagement of the Fed’s supervisory regulators.Still rising: Fed hikes rates despite concerns over banking crisisHere’s a recap of the most import...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:39:16 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The five-city, two-country road trip ended here Wednesday night with more than a dozen Serbian flags surrounding the court from doting fans.In what occasionally sounded like a Nuggets home game, two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic gave some of his countrymen reason to cheer as he destroyed Washington’s meager defense. The Nuggets, following his lead, cruised to a convincing, 118-104 win, to cap their road trip at 3-2.Jokic ended the evening with 31 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists, eventually subbing out with under three minutes remaining, perhaps to avoid any accusations of stat-padding.At 49-24 and 19-18 away from home, the Nuggets can finally take solace in that their longest remaining road trip of the year is over.Michael Porter Jr. buried six 3-pointers, as the Nuggets caught fire from beyond the arc. Denver shot 15 for 32 from 3-point range, overwhelming Washington’s scoring punch. Kristaps Porzingis had 25, but no other Wizard managed more than 16.Jama...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:39:16 GMT

By Eric Tucker | Associated PressWASHINGTON — A federal appeals court in a sealed order Wednesday directed a lawyer for Donald Trump to turn over to prosecutors documents in the investigation into the former president’s retention of classified records at his Florida estate.The ruling is a significant win for the Justice Department, which has focused for months not only on the hoarding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago but also on why Trump and his representatives resisted demands to return them to the government. It suggests the court has sided with prosecutors who have argued behind closed doors that Trump was using his legal representation to further a crime.The order was reflected in a brief online notice by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The case is sealed, and none of the parties in the dispute is mentioned by name.But the details appear to correspond with a secret fight before a lower court judge over whether Tr...
