Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine.

 Italy’s Top Court Grants Single People Right to Adopt Abroad


Italy’s Constitutional Court has ruled that single individuals can adopt children from abroad, overturning a law that previously restricted international adoptions to married couples.


Landmark Ruling Expands Adoption Rights


In a decision hailed as historic by opposition parties, the Rome-based court declared that banning single people from adopting internationally was unconstitutional.


The case stemmed from a 2019 request by a single woman in Florence, which was initially denied under a 1983 law but later referred to the Constitutional Court for review.


The court found that the law unfairly restricted parental rights, stating that:

Becoming a parent is a fundamental right linked to personal self-determination.

Single individuals can provide a stable and nurturing environment for abandoned children.

Judges must evaluate each adoption case based on the individual’s emotional and financial suitability.


Political and Social Reactions


The ruling challenges the traditional family values agenda of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a self-described “Christian mother”. Meloni, who leads a far-right government, campaigned on promoting traditional family structures.


Alessandro Zan, the Democratic Party’s rights spokesperson, praised the decision, urging the government to extend adoption rights to same-sex couples.


Legal experts suggest this ruling could pave the way for single individuals to seek adoption rights within Italy as well.
