Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 19:36:30 GMT

El Servicio Secreto anunció el jueves que había cerrado su investigación sobre quién dejó un pequeño paquete de cocaína en la Casa Blanca sin encontrar al culpable, y un portavoz de la agencia le dijo a NBC News que lo hizo sin realizar entrevistas.La agencia, junto con el FBI, analizó el paquete para determinar que era cocaína y buscó huellas dactilares o evidencia de ADN. Pero las pruebas no arrojaron evidencia forense utilizable. Las imágenes de video del área donde se encontró la bolsita tampoco proporcionaron evidencia para reducir a los posibles sospechosos más allá de una lista de aproximadamente 500 miembros del personal y visitantes que pasaron durante un fin de semana a principios de este mes.El portavoz del Servicio Secreto, Anthony Gugliemi, dijo que la agencia determinó que entrevistar a las 500 personas podría ser una carga para los recursos, podría infringir las libertades civiles y probablemente sería infructuoso sin la evidencia física correspondiente que vincule a ...

CINCINNATI (AP) — Corbin Burnes struck out the side in the sixth inning after nearly collapsing in the fifth in oppressive humidity, Victor Caratini singled in a run in the seventh and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 1-0 on Friday night.After his 10th strikeout, Burnes squatted behind the mound with his head lowered as teammates and trainers rushed over. The game-time temperature was 91 degrees with the high humidity.“He just got light-headed, essentially,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “The trainers don’t think it was a hydration issue. Just like you lift something heavy and get a little light-headed from that. He just needed a minute to regroup. His vision got a little blurry.” Burnes (8-5) took several big gulps of water and spoke to the training staff. He took a couple of warmup pitches, then retired Matt McLain on an infield pop to end the inning.“Everything kind of went dizzy and eyes went cross-eyed,” Burnes said. “I went to the back of the mound, ...
