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...

MAN RECEIVES 21-YEAR SENTENCE FOR RAMMING CAR INTO LIVERPOOL PARADE CROWD. (PHOTO).



Man receives 21-year sentence for ramming car into Liverpool parade crowd


Paul Doyle, who drove his car into a crowd of FC Liverpool supporters during a victory parade, has been sentenced to 21 years in prison. The attack, which lasted roughly two minutes, injured 134 people aged from six months to 77 years, with over 50 requiring hospitalization, during the May 26 event in Merseyside, England.

Doyle pleaded guilty in November to multiple charges, including 17 counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, nine counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, three counts of wounding, and one count each of dangerous driving and affray. Judge Andrew Menary described Doyle’s actions as causing “horror and devastation on a scale not previously experienced by this court,” noting that he struck victims head-on, knocked others onto the car, crushed prams, and forced crowds to scatter in terror.

Prosecutors said the parade, attended by about a million people, had been intended as a day of celebration. Doyle, a former Royal Marine, claimed to have acted in “blind panic” after seeing a fan with a knife, but investigators disproved this, citing dashcam footage in which Doyle can be heard angrily targeting people. The judge said the video showed “an inexplicable and undiluted fury” rather than fear. Doyle only stopped when former soldier Dan Barr climbed into the back seat and shifted the car into Park while Doyle kept his foot on the accelerator.

After his arrest, Doyle reportedly said, “I've just ruined my family's life.” Detective Chief Inspector John Fitzgerald said Doyle’s actions displayed “no regard for the safety and well-being of other people” and emphasized that no sentence could undo the physical and psychological trauma inflicted on the victims. Doyle’s lawyer, Simon Csoska, said his client was “horrified by what he did” and “deeply sorry for all those who were hurt and suffered,” accepting full responsibility for his actions.
