Maxwell depositions may be used at criminal trial judge rules
Two 2016 Maxwell depositions in a civil case are permitted as evidence in her upcoming criminal trial over objections from her lawyers.

Seven people were detained during the operation in Val ley Center. In Nairobi the United States says up to 900,000 Ethiopians in Tigray face famine amid a deadly conflict, with Samantha Power calling the crisis terrifying and noting millions more at risk.
