Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis agrees to testify in Arizona ‘fake electors’ case
Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis has agreed to cooperate with Arizona prosecutors who charged nearly 20 associates of former President Donald Trump in a “fake electors” case. Prosecutors said on Monday, Aug. 5, that in exchange for her testimony they will drop nine felony charges against Ellis.
Ellis was among 18 defendants in the investigation that involved reported efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory in Arizona.
In a statement on Monday, Attorney General Kris Mayes, D-Ariz., expressed his gratitude for Ellis’ agreement to testify.
“I am grateful to Ms. Ellis for her cooperation with our investigation and prosecution,” Mayes said. “Her insights are invaluable and will greatly aid the state in proving its case in court.”
Ellis’ testimony reportedly plays a pivotal role in the case against Trump’s former person attorney Rudy Guiliani. The defense said that he is linked to efforts in Arizona and several other states to overturn election results in 2020.
Under the agreement, Ellis must testify about efforts by Trump and his allies to reverse election results. Trump is not criminally charged in this case but is identified as a co-conspirator who spearheaded the election interference plot. Prosecutors did not indict Trump in the case.
Others charged in the investigation include Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, attorney John Eastman and attorney Christina Bobb. All of them have pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them.
Ellis reportedly worked closely with Guiliani and pushed false claims of election fraud. She also pressured state lawmakers to replace Biden’s presidential electors with Trump’s.
Arizona is one of four states where prosecutors have filed charges against “fake electors.” Last year, Ellis pleaded guilty over efforts to overturn the Georgia 2020 election results.
Israel says Hezbollah will ‘pay the price’ after deadly attack on soccer field
Israel vowed Hezbollah will “pay the price” after the deadliest strike on Israeli territory since Oct. 7 killed 12 children. And former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris continue on the campaign trail with less than 100 days to go until Election Day. These stories and more highlight The Morning Rundown for Monday, July 29, 2024.
Israel: Hezbollah will ‘pay the price’ after deadly attack on soccer field
Tensions are escalating in the Middle East after a deadly assault on Israel on Saturday, July 27. Israeli officials said a Hezbollah rocket launched from Lebanon struck a soccer field in the Israel-occupied Golan Heights, killing 12 children.
It marked the deadliest attack on Israeli soil since Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack. Hezbollah has denied it was behind the strike.
Now, attention turns to how Israel will respond to the threat and if the war is on the brink of expansion.
Thousands of people attended funeral services for the children who died in Saturday’s attack. Their caskets were hauled through the streets as people paid their respects.
Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Hezbollah “will pay the price” for the latest attack.
It’s an escalation in a series of back and forth between Hezbollah and Israel. The Iran-backed militant group has been firing rockets at Israel from Lebanon since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Israel has been retaliating, striking their targets in Lebanon and killing top Hezbollah and Hamas leadership in the region, but this latest hit against Israel could create a larger response.
Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said the country will not get involved in a war but will stand behind Hezbollah. The foreign minister said Lebanon has received reassurances from the U.S. and France that Israel’s response will be “limited.”
The Biden administration has warned Israel of how its next steps could lead to a larger conflict and is warning against them hitting Hezbollah targets in Lebanon’s capital of Beirut. International flights into Beirut are being canceled out of fears of escalation.
Harris, Trump look to rally support less than 100 days until election day
With less than 100 days left until the 2024 presidential election, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump spent the weekend speaking to their supporters at campaign events. Harris spoke to voters in Massachusetts and Trump held events in Florida.
“She was a bum,” Trump told his supporters in West Palm Beach on Friday, July 26. “Three weeks ago, she was a bum, a failed vice president in a failed administration with millions of people crossing when she was the border czar.”
Harris promised supporters her “underdog” campaign would prevail.
“Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my record,” she said on Saturday, July 27. “And some of what he and his running mate are saying, it’s just plain weird.”
New polling from ABC News shows support for Harris is growing among independent voters. Forty-four percent have a favorable view of Harris — up from 28% from only a week ago — as she tries to rally Democratic Party support before officially becoming the nominee.
On July 30 and Aug 1., Harris will hold campaign events in Georgia and Texas, respectively. Trump will head back to Pennsylvania for the first time since surviving an assassination attempt at a rally in the state on July 13.
Mark Meadows asks SCOTUS to intervene in Georgia election interference case
Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff during the Trump administration, is turning to the Supreme Court to intervene in the Georgia election interference case against him. Meadows’ lawyers have asked the justices to take up his bid to move the case to federal court.
In their filing on Friday, July 26, Meadows’ legal team argued his actions are entitled to immunity from prosecution citing the high court’s recent ruling that gave former President Trump immunity for official acts as president.
Meadows has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case, however, remains on hold as Meadows and other co-defendants — including former President Trump — challenge a ruling that allows Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue prosecuting the case amid claims of improper conduct.
Maduro and opposition both claim to win Venezuela’s presidential election
In a highly watched and highly scrutinized electoral process, Venezuela’s authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro claimed to have won the presidential election on Monday, July 29. However, his political opponents have too.
With 80% of votes counted, Maduro is said to have won with more than 51% of the vote, leading electoral authorities to declare him the winner.
However, the opposition claims candidate Edmundo González had received 70% of the vote against Maduro’s 30% and González said all rules were violated. The opposition is demanding electoral authorities present all the voting tallies issued by the voting machines to verify the results.
The United States and multiple regional nations have also voiced skepticism about official results handing victory to Maduro.
The man accused of starting what is now the largest active wildfire in the country is set to appear in a California court on Monday, July 29. The fast-spreading fire near Chico has burned more than 350,000 acres in three days, forcing thousands of people in four counties to leave their homes.
The Park Fire had scorched an area greater than the size of Los Angeles as of Sunday, July 28, causing poor air quality in a large part of the northwestern U.S. and western Canada.
Cooler temperatures and more humidity over the weekend helped firefighters make some progress. They say the fire is now 12% contained.
Apple reaches first-ever union deal with Maryland employees
Apple has reached its first-ever union contract with employees at a Maryland store. The union representing the employees of a store in a Baltimore suburb said it’s reached a tentative three-year deal with Apple to increase pay by an average of 10% and offer other benefits to workers.
The tentative agreement still has to be approved by the store’s 85 workers. A vote is set for Aug. 6.
Team USA wins most medals in Olympics opening weekend
Team USA is off to a strong start at the Paris Olympics, picking up 12 medals over the weekend. That’s the most of any country so far in the games.
USA athletes had won gold three times as of Monday, July 29 morning, including the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay team, giving Caleb Dressel his eighth gold medal. Torri Huske won the women’s 100m butterfly and Gretchen Walsh took silver, with just four hundredths of a second separating the American athletes.
Lee Kiefer brought home gold in fencing. In gymnastics, Simone Biles made her Olympics return, leading the U.S. Women’s Team into the finals despite suffering a minor calf injury.
On the basketball court, LeBron James led Team USA to victory in their first game, defeating Serbia 110 to 84.
Following the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, Ward tweeted, “Congress is adjourned. Send the elector choice back to the legislatures.” Ward, a Trump elector, consistently promoted false claims that Arizona’s election results were rigged.
Arizona is one of seven states where “alternate electors” falsely claimed that Trump won. Prosecutors have charged similar “alternate electors” in Nevada, Georgia and Michigan.
The Republican Party of Arizona has criticized the indictments as politically motivated as the 2024 election approaches.
Judge drops multiple charges against Trump in GA election interference case
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed six counts in the Georgia case on election interference involving former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants, including three against Trump himself. McAfee said that the state failed to provide enough detail for six counts of “solicitation of violation of oath by public officer.”
The Associated Press reported that the case accuses Trump and his co-defendants of violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging a “criminal enterprise” aimed at overturning the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
The dropped counts charged the defendants with soliciting public officers to violate their oaths of office to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Charges dropped against Trump involved allegations of him asking State House Speaker David Ralston and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to change the election results.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s campaign lawyer, had two charges accusing him of asking state lawmakers to switch presidential electors dropped.
“The lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal,” McAfee wrote. “They do not give the defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently.”
This marks the first time charges in any of Trump’s four criminal cases have been dismissed. However, the judge left other counts intact — including 10 facing Trump — and stated prosecutors could seek a new indictment to try to reinstate the dismissed charges.
The decision is seen as a setback for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who faces efforts to have her removed from the prosecution over a romantic relationship with a colleague.
Defense attorneys applauded the ruling, with Trump’s attorney calling the prosecution of Trump political and constituting election interference. The case has yet to be scheduled for trial, and the judge is expected to rule by the end of this week on a bid to have Willis disqualified from the case.
Meadows cooperates with feds in election interference case, Trump reacts
Former chief of staff to former President Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, struck a deal with special counsel Jack Smith in Trump’s 2020 federal election interference case. Meadows received immunity to testify before a grand jury, according to ABC News.
Smith is building a case against Trump for allegedly trying to overturn and “spread lies” about the 2020 election.
According to the report, Meadows told investigators that Trump’s rhetoric concerning the 2020 election was “dishonest” to the American people. Investigators questioned Meadows on conversations he apparently had with Trump concerning election results.
Meadows allegedly informed Smith’s investigators that he indeed did not believe the 2020 election had been stolen, and told Trump in the weeks after the election that there was no proof of widespread fraud.
Since November 2020, Trump repeatedly said the presidential election was “stolen,” and has never conceded publicly.
“I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody, until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were,” Trump said during a rally on Jan. 6, 2021. “And again, most people would stand there at nine in the evening and say, ‘I want to thank you very much,’ and they go off to some other life, but I said, ‘Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.’ And we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country any more.”
Trump’s supporters then stormed the U.S. Capitol hoping to prevent the certification of the election.
About a year after Trump left the Oval Office, Meadows published a book titled “The Chief’s Chief,” in which he claimed the election was stolen and rigged with help from “allies in the liberal media.”
Meadows’ testimony seemingly contradicts what he wrote in his book. However, according to the ABC News report, Meadows told Smith’s investigators that “he doesn’t actually believe some of the statements in his book.”
Trump has responded to the claim that Meadows is cooperating with federal prosecutors.
“I don’t think Mark Meadows would lie about the rigged and stolen 2020 presidential election for getting immunity against prosecution,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. “Some people would make that deal, but they are weaklings and cowards.”
Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case and filed three motions this week to dismiss the case. Trump claims the charges against him violate his right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment, saying “the government may not prohibit core political speech on matters of public concern, regardless of its supposed truth or falsity.”
In another post on Truth Social, Trump claims Meadows never told him that allegations of significant election fraud were baseless, and that Meadows certainly didn’t say it in his book, either.
Meadows is now the fourth Trump ally to turn against him. Other former Trump attorneys, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis and Kenneth Chesebro, have each taken plea deals in Trump’s Georgia election fraud case, as the former president is also facing similar charges in conspiring to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.
Biden to tour damage from Hawaii wildfires: The Rundown Aug. 16, 2023
President Joe Biden commented on the deadly wildfires in Hawaii, and new data showed how television viewers are changing the industry. These stories and more highlight The Rundown for Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2023.
Biden speaks on deadly Hawaii wildfires
President Biden has offered his first remarks on the Hawaii wildfires after facing criticism for not commenting on the tragedy. Biden reassured the island of Maui that federal resources were on the ground and there to stay for as long as it takes. Biden also promised a visit with the first lady to the devastated areas “as soon as we can,” saying they don’t want to get in the way of recovery efforts.
The death toll has climbed to 106, with most remains unable to be identified. Residents got their first opportunity to go back to their homes in nearly unrecognizable communities.
For those with no house to go home to, hundreds of hotel rooms have opened up in the area for survivors, along with thousands of Airbnb locations. The search for dozens of missing people on the island was expected to continue on Wednesday, Aug. 16.
Mark Meadows seeks to move Georgia case to federal level
Attorneys for Meadows said they are also pushing to dismiss the charges against him, saying nothing he’s accused of in the indictment is criminal. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has ordered Meadows, former President Trump and the other 17 defendants to turn themselves in by Aug. 25.
North Korea claims U.S. soldier was racially discriminated against
For the first time, North Korea offered public remarks on the U.S. soldier who darted into North Korean territory in July of 2023. A spokesperson for the North said Travis King was seeking refuge from the U.S. Army after being racially discriminated against and receiving “inhumane mistreatment.”
The spokesperson said King, who was facing discipline on assault allegations in South Korea, had the intent of staying in North Korea when he decided to cross into the country.
It is common for North Korea to highlight racism in the United States to deflect criticism of its own human rights record. The comments on King came just a day before the U.N. Security Council was set to discuss human rights issues in North Korea.
Gas prices on the rise as Labor Day approaches
As Labor Day weekend approaches, gas prices have been on the rise and are at their highest point they’ve been all year. According to AAA, the national average price for regular gasoline sits at $3.87 per gallon as of Aug. 16, up from $3.56 from this time last month.
$3.87 is the highest the national average has been since October of 2022. The average price of gas in California and Washington was over $5 per gallon on Aug. 16.
Experts have said oil supply cuts abroad are impacting the price of gas at home. The national average is still lower than it was at this time in 2022, when the average was $3.94 per gallon.
Broadcast television, cable viewership falls to record lows in July
Broadcast television and cable viewership has continued to fall, hitting record lows in July. For the first time ever, the two forms of linear television made up less than half of all TV viewership.
Nielsen, who tracks television ratings, said broadcast viewing for the month of July was just 20% of all TV viewership. Streaming services like YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video reached a record high of 38.7% of TV viewership.
Nielsen also disclosed the most watched programs. They include the drama “Suits” on Netflix and Peacock, as well as the children’s series “Bluey” streaming on Disney+.
New images from the latest beta testing showed the button back where users are familiar with seeing it, in the bottom center of the screen. However, the button was among other options, which would be a change from the standalone position it currently has.
Apple has not commented on where the button will end up.
Here are the charges Trump, others face in Georgia indictment
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced a sweeping indictment that included 41 charges and named 19 defendants, including former President Donald Trump. All 19 defendants were charged with violating Georgia’s RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) Act.
Notable co-defendants include former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, and a handful of Trump lawyers. Named lawyers include:
Rudy Giuliani.
John Eastman.
Sidney Powell.
Kenneth Chesebro.
Jenna Ellis.
Ray Smith.
“Trump and the other defendants charged in this indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump,” the indictment reads. “Defendants… constituted a criminal organization whose members and associated engaged in various related criminal activities including, but not limited to, false statements and writings, impersonating a public officer, forgery, filing false documents, influencing witnesses, computer theft, computer trespass, computer invasion of privacy, conspiracy to defraud the state, acts involving theft and perjury.”
False statements to and solicitation of state Legislature, high-ranking state officials
The indictment alleges several of the defendants made false statements regarding voter fraud during several hearings in front of the Georgia General Assembly.
According to the indictment, “the purpose of these false statements was to persuade Georgia legislators to reject lawful electoral votes cast by the duly elected and qualified presidential electors from Georgia.”
“Members of the enterprise corruptly solicited Georgia legislators instead to unlawfully appoint their own presidential electors for the purpose of casting electoral votes for Donald Trump,” the indictment read.
The indictment also accused defendants of making false statements to various high-ranking state officials, including Gov. Brian Kemp, R-Ga., incoming state House Speaker David Ralston, and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
Creation and distribution of false Electoral College documents
The indictment accused several defendants of creating false Electoral College documents. False Electoral College votes were allegedly cast at the Georgia State Capitol on Dec. 14, 2020.
“After the false Electoral College votes were cast, members of the enterprise transmitted the votes to the President of the United States Senate, the Archivist of the United States, the Georgia Secretary of State, and the Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia,” the indictment reads. “The false documents were intended to disrupt and delay the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021, in order to unlawfully change the outcome of the November 3, 2020, presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.”
Harassment and intimidation of Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman
The indictment accused several of the defendants of falsely accusing Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman of committing election crimes.
According to the indictment, “members of the enterprise traveled from out of state to harass Freeman, intimidate her, and solicit her to falsely confess to election crimes that she did not commit.”
Solicitation of high-ranking Justice Department officials
The indictment accused several defendants of soliciting high-ranking Justice Department officials to make false statements to government officials in Georgia.
In one instance, according to the indictment, Trump told the acting U.S. attorney general to “say that the election was corrupt, and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.”
Solicitation of the vice president of the United States
The indictment accused several of the defendants of soliciting Vice President Mike Pence to reject the Electoral College votes cast in Georgia.
Unlawful breach of election equipment
The indictment accused several defendants of conspiring to unlawfully access voting equipment and voter data. According to the indictment, ballot images voting equipment software and personal voter information were stolen.
“Members of the enterprise, including several of the Defendants, filed false documents, made false statements to government investigators, and committed perjury in judicial proceedings in Fulton County, Georgia, and elsewhere in furtherance of and to cover up the conspiracy,” the indictment read.
The RICO portion of the indictment also listed 161 individual acts “in furtherance of the conspiracy.” Notable alleged acts involving Trump include a Nov. 4, 2020, speech in which Trump declared victory in the election.
“Approximately four days earlier… Trump discussed a draft speech with unindicted co-conspirator individual 1, whose identity is known to the grand jury, that falsely declared victory and falsely claimed voter fraud,” the indictment read.
The indictment accused Trump and Meadows of requesting former Trump aide John McEntee to “prepare a memorandum outlining a strategy for disrupting and delaying the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.” Various Trump tweets from this period of time were mentioned in the RICO section, as well as the phone call in which Trump asked Raffensperger to find “11,780 votes.”
Outside of alleged RICO Act violation, other charges Trump faces related to the Georgia indictment include:
Three counts of solicitation of violation of oath by public officer.
Conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer.
Two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree.
Two counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings.
Conspiracy to commit filing false documents.
Filing false documents.
Two counts of false statements and writings.
One top RICO lawyer told Straight Arrow News’ Ray Bogan that Trump’s legal team will get this case successfully moved to federal court because he was president when the alleged acts took place.
“As an officer of the United States being charged with a violation of the law of the state of Georgia, under concepts of federalism, a officer of the United States can, on motion, require the case to be transferred to the United States District Court,” Maloy, Jenkins, Parker partner Buddy Parker said.
According to Parker, Wilis would still prosecute the case under the Georgia state statutes, but it would be heard by a District Court Judge in the Northern District of Georgia under the federal rules of evidence and criminal procedure. A judge could deny the motion.
Trump faces fourth indictment: The Rundown Aug. 15, 2023
Former President Donald Trump was charged with racketeering as part of his fourth indictment, and a judge sides with young activists in Montana. These stories and more highlight The Rundown for Tuesday, Aug. 15.
Trump, 18 others charged with racketeering in Georgia 2020 case
For the fourth time, a felony indictment has been filed against former President Trump. This time, a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury indicted Trump and 18 others on charges of election fraud, racketeering and other offenses in an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state.
The other defendants charged include former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. Speaking to reporters following the release of the 98-page indictment, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said those charged have until noon on Friday, Aug. 25 to voluntarily surrender.
“The indictment alleges that rather than abide by Georgia’s legal process for election challenges the defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn Georgia presidential election result,” Willis said on Monday, Aug. 15.
Trump’s fourth indictment lists 161 acts as part of the alleged scheme. The investigation was prompted in part by the Jan. 2, 2021 phone call where Trump told Georgia’s secretary of state to find “11,780 votes.”
In a statement, lawyers for Trump said they look forward to reviewing the indictment, calling it “undoubtedly just as flawed and unconstitutional as this entire process has been.” Speaking to Fox News, Trump called Monday “a dark period in our country” and described the indictment as “the continuation of the greatest and longest-running witch hunt in American history.”
Trump is the first former president in United States history to face criminal charges. He faces charges in the special counsel’s Jan. 6 and classified documents investigations, and in the New York state case concerning hush money payments. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in all cases.
Philadelphia teen arrested on terrorism charges
A Philadelphia teenager has been arrested on serious terrorism charges. He is said to be in communication with a terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda.
The teenager’s name has not been released. Investigators say he was sending and receiving messages and pictures that aligned with terrorist propaganda on how to commit criminal acts, including how to make a bomb.
The individual was allegedly planning a trip overseas to meet with other group members. FBI special agent Jacqueline Maguire expressed deep concern over the teen’s recent purchases, which included firearms and materials commonly used to make explosives.
“Some of these purchases had just occurred in the last few weeks. Among the items he purchased were tactical equipment, wiring, chemicals and devices often used as remote detonators,” Maguire said Aug. 14. “These purchases quickly escalated this case in both threat and priority for our office. And this was now a situation where we believe public safety was at risk. So we quickly took appropriate steps to mitigate that risk.”
Wildfire death toll climbs, officials request property sale moratorium
Hawaii’s governor has predicted the death toll from the state’s historic wildfires to increase by 20 victims per day over the next 10 days. The public was expected to begin learning the identities of those who died on Tuesday, Aug. 15.
It’s already the worst wildfire the U.S. has seen in more than a century, as the death toll crept up to 99 as of the morning of Aug. 15. About 25% of the hard-hit area of Lahaina has been combed through for victims. Many people in the area had no chance to escape, with the fire advancing at 60 mph.
An estimated 3,000 animals are missing. Officials with the Maui Humane Society said they are hoping to be inundated with pets as search and rescue efforts continue.
State officials have requested a moratorium on any sales of the thousands of properties that have been damaged or destroyed in the wildfires. The officials are worried outside buyers will try to exploit the local community during this time of rebuilding.
It’s been one week since the fire first broke out on the island. It could take weeks or months to determine what started the blaze. According to a class-action lawsuit, downed power lines during a high-wind storm could have played a role in the initial spark.
30 dead, 100 injured in gas station explosion near Moscow
A massive explosion at a gas station in Russia has killed at least 30 people, including several young children. More than 100 others were injured in the overnight blast.
Despite crews working quickly to put the flames out, just the frames of the gas station were left standing. The explosion took place in a city just outside the region’s capital.
According to officials on the ground, a fire started at a nearby car repair shop. That fire then spread to the nearby gas station, causing the blast.
Judge rules government has duty to protect people from climate change
A judge in Montana ruled that it is unconstitutional for the state to allow the fossil fuel business to continue as usual. According to the ruling, the state must now consider how fossil fuel projects may impact “young people’s constitutional rights to a clean and healthful environment.”
Young environmental activists had sued the state, claiming its agencies were violating young people’s rights to clean air by allowing fossil fuel development. In a ruling that is first of its kind in the U.S., the judge sided with the climate activists.
State officials have promised to appeal the ruling.
Netflix testing video game streaming in Canada, United Kingdom
Netflix has announced it is beginning to offer video game streaming to its subscribers. The streaming giant started adding video games in 2021 when it launched Netflix Games for mobile devices. Now, the company announced it is testing the games on select televisions and computers.
The limited beta test will be open to a small number of subscribers in Canada and the U.K. The beta test will only feature two games at first, with users’ phones serving as the controller.
Netflix said it is working to make games available on more devices in the future.
