U.S. authorities are considering a ban on China's TP-Link Technology Co over potential national security concerns after its home internet routers were linked to cyberattacks, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
In August two U.S. lawmakers urged the Biden administration to probe the Chinese router-manufacturer and its affiliates over fears their Wi-Fi routers could be used in cyber attacks against the U.S., according to a letter seen by Reuters.
The Commerce, Defense and Justice departments have opened separate probes into the company, with authorities targeting a ban on the sale of TP-Link routers in the U.S. as early as next year, the report said.
An office of the Commerce Department has even subpoenaed the co...
The Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by a quarter percentage point Wednesday and scaled back the number of cuts it expects to make next year.
In a split vote, the central bank voted to reduce its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to a new range of 4.25%-4.5%, initiating its third consecutive rate cut of 2024 despite signs that inflation isn’t entirely going away.
Newly appointed Cleveland Fed president Beth Hammack objected, preferring not to cut rates. Her dissent marked the second against a policy decision since the Fed started its latest rate-cutting cycle in September.
The consensus among Fed officials is for two rate cuts next year, down from four previously forecast in September.
Ten officials estimated 2 cuts next year, three saw two cuts next year, three sa...

An incendiary device was thrown at the Beth Tikvah synagogue in Montreal early Wednesday morning, leading Canadian authorities to suspect an antisemitic hate crime. Firefighters responded to the scene at 3 a.m. to extinguish the flames, which shattered the synagogue’s window and door. Witnesses reported seeing at least one individual near the site before the fire began. Beth Tikvah, located near Montreal’s Jewish Federation building, also houses a school, making it a central hub for the local Jewish community.
Rabbi Saul Emanuel, executive director of the Montreal Jewish Community Council, expressed outrage over the attack, noting it is the second in just over a year. He emphasized the need for enhanced security measures at Jewish institutions and called on law enforcement to ...
Baltimore, MD - Dec. 18, 2024 - A judge approved former Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's request to travel to Texas in December during her house arrest, according to court documents.
According to a court order, Mosby asked a judge for permission to travel to Levelland, Texas for employment purposes between December 15 and December 18.

She was found guilty in November 2023 of lying about business losses to make penalty-free withdrawals from her retirement account. She alle...
Washington, D.C. - Dec. 18, 2024 - The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it will take up a challenge to a new law that could lead to a ban on TikTok in the U.S, setting up a showdown over access to a widely popular app used by tens of millions of Americans.
Arguments will be heard by the high court on Jan. 10, an expedited timeline that allows for the court to consider the issue before the law takes effect on Jan. 19.
The Supreme Court said in a brief order that the Justice Department and lawyers for TikTok, as well as a group of users who separately challenged the law, should be prepared to argue whether the ban passed by Congress violates the First Amendment.
TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, asked the high court earlier this week to temporarily bl...
