The ruling is a major blow to Trump’s key defense thus far in the federal election subversion case brought against him by special counsel Jack Smith. The former president had argued that the conduct Smith charged him over was part of his official duties as president and therefore shield him from criminal liability.

The body of Salamatu Jalloh lies on a straw mat on the floor of a small, earth-colored room in Sierra Leone. After the 13-year-old died, police warned villagers not to bury her before a post-mortem could be carried out. But four days later, in the scorching heat, the corpse continues to lie here, tightly wrapped in a blue and pink cloth, a foot poking out at one end. She is believed to have bled to death after undergoing FGM. FGM involves the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia. There are differing numbers from various UN agencies (due to inconsistent data collection in-country) about prevalence rates but UNICEF estimates that at least 200 million girls and women in 31 countries have undergone one of four types of FGM. The practice is said to be happening on every continent, though it is most prevalent in the Arab states and in Africa. While the outcomes from FGM depend on many different factors, ranging from the skill of the practitioner to the hygiene levels of where it takes place and the general health of the girl or woman undergoing the procedure, cutting can lead to a range of complications including severe bleeding, problems urinating, menstrual disorders, infertility, and prolonged labor that can result in the death of the fetus. Today, February 6th, is International Day to #EndFGM. Tap the link in bio for more.

Nearly 400 gallons of gas were stolen from a North Carolina gas station this week, prompting the owner to take extra security precautions amid historically high gas prices nationwide.⁠ ⁠ Hardik Patel said he will start shutting off the power to his pumps after business hours after 398 gallons of gas were stolen from his Bizzy Bee Grocery Store and Gas Station in High Point, North Carolina, Monday.⁠ ⁠ Surveillance footage showed a car pull up near the pumps and someone appearing to use a device to bypass the payment system, Patel said. After that, more than 15 cars pulled up and filled their tanks over the course of 45 minutes, taking $1,600 worth of gas, Patel said.⁠ ⁠ “I’ve been in business for 15 years and owned other gas stations. I have never seen something like this,” Patel told CNN. “It wasn’t free, they were stealing.”⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more.⁠ ⁠ 📷: Hardik Patel

Burger King is trying to suspend its operations in Russia, but that’s proving difficult. A business partner controlling 800 restaurants has “refused” to close them, the company said.⁠ ⁠ The burger chain, owned by Restaurant Brands International, has a joint venture partnership with businessman Alexander Kolobov in Russia. RBI controls just 15% of its Russian Burger King business, and Kolobov is responsible for the “day-to-day operations and oversight” of its locations in the country.⁠ ⁠ That means Burger King can’t just snap its fingers and close up shop.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more.⁠ ⁠ 📷: Maksim Konstantinov/SOPA Images/LightRocket/Getty Images

Two years after promising to reexamine how it “portrays the American dream” amid the Black Lives Matter movement, Ralph Lauren is launching a collection inspired by the country’s historically Black colleges. Created in collaboration with Morehouse and Spelman Colleges in Atlanta, Georgia, the range of outerwear, knitwear, suits and dresses was based on the “rich heritage and esteemed traditions” of both schools, according to a press release. The label, which is known for its preppy style and collegiate-inspired designs, said it looked to clothes worn at historically Black colleges and universities between the 1920s and 1950s. But the garments also nod to specific sartorial traditions of the two schools, like the formal maroon blazers given to Morehouse students upon joining the college.
