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...

MALDIVIAN RESCUE DIVER DIES DURING RECOVERY MISSION FOR ITALIAN SCUBA VICTIMS IN UNDERWATER CAVE TRAGEDY. (PHOTO).


 Maldivian rescue diver dies during recovery mission for Italian scuba victims in underwater cave tragedy


A Maldivian rescue diver has died during a recovery operation for victims of a deadly scuba diving incident involving Italian tourists in an underwater cave in the Indian Ocean archipelago. The diver, identified as Mohamed Mahudhee of the Maldivian national defense force, suffered decompression sickness, known as “the bends,” after surfacing and was later pronounced dead at a hospital in the capital, Malé.

Officials said eight rescue divers entered the water during the recovery effort. When they returned to the surface, they realized Mahudhee was missing and later found he had blacked out underwater. Authorities said the risks underscored the extreme difficulty of the ongoing mission to recover the bodies of five Italian nationals who died while diving in a cave at an estimated depth of about 164 feet in the Vaavu Atoll region.

Search teams have already recovered the body of diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti near the cave entrance, while efforts to locate the remaining four victims were temporarily halted due to poor weather conditions. The deceased Italian group includes an ecology professor, her daughter, a marine biologist, and a researcher, with officials saying the diving excursion occurred separately from a scientific mission they were participating in.

Authorities said recreational diving limits in the region typically cap at around 98 feet, and investigators are reviewing why the group entered a deeper cave environment. Several other Italian nationals traveling with the group have been confirmed safe, while officials have suspended the operating license of the dive vessel involved as part of an ongoing investigation into the incident.
