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. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year. In issuing the pardon, Trump described Buyer’s service as a judge advocate general in the U.S. Army and his time in Congress as “distinguished and highly productive.” The pardon, dated Thursday and released by the White House on Friday, grants Buyer “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon.” Buyer has maint...

 London police arrest asylum seeker mistakenly freed from prison

London police have arrested a convicted sex offender and asylum seeker who was mistakenly released from prison, in an error that has drawn sharp criticism of government procedures. Authorities said Ethiopian national Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu was taken into custody in the Finsbury Park area of north London. Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed that Kebatu will be deported as soon as possible.

Kebatu, who had previously made headlines after being arrested earlier this year for sexually assaulting a teenage girl, had been mistakenly released from a Chelmsford prison on Friday. Officials said he was incorrectly classified as due for routine release instead of being transferred to an immigration detention center. Kebatu had been sentenced in September to 12 months for multiple offenses, including assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Epping shortly after arriving in the U.K. by boat. The error triggered widespread concern, given his previous offenses, and led to thousands of protests against migrant housing across London and other cities, some involving far-right activists, while counterprotests were organized by anti-racism groups.

The Prison Service said a prison officer has been suspended pending investigation, while Justice Secretary David Lammy ordered immediate strengthening of prisoner release checks. Health Secretary Wes Streeting called the release a “serious failure,” noting Kebatu should have been transferred for deportation. The case has intensified debates over unauthorized migration, particularly the surge of more than 36,900 people crossing the English Channel this year, and criticism of government policies housing asylum seekers in hotels while awaiting decisions.
