We shared a quiet, sacred bond, one that could be seen and felt by anyone who witnessed us together." "When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us." she continued. RELATED:Linda Hogan Breaks Silence on Hulk Hogan's Death Brooke also used the post as an opportunity to "clear a few things up" when it came to complicated relationship she had with her father during his final years. After Brooke and her husband,Steve Oleksy, moved to Florida to be closer to Hulk, Brooke said "all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries." "Everything started getting covered in a thick veil," Brooke wrote. "It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn't get through."

Republicans confirm former Trump lawyer Emil Bove to lifetime appeals court perch

Republicans confirm former Trump lawyer Emil Bove to lifetime appeals court perch

WASHINGTON — The Republican-led Senate voted Tuesday to confirm Emil Bove as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, granting a lifetime appointment toPresident Donald Trump's former personal lawyer. He was confirmed 50-49, with only Republican votes, as they set aside allegations from three whistleblowers about the conduct of Bove, aJustice Departmentofficial, which include accusations that he flouted laws and DOJ procedures. Just two Republicans voted with Democrats against the nomination: Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine. Follow live politics coverage here Hours before the vote, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, dismissed the complaints raised by the third whistleblower as "another breathless accusation," saying Bove denied the allegations against him under oath. "I support the nomination of Mr. Bove. He has a strong legal background and has served this country honorably. I believe he will be diligent, capable and a fair jurist," Grassley said. Grassley accused Democrats of using "vicious rhetoric, unfair accusation and abuse directed at Mr. Bove," saying their tactics to thwart the nomination "crossed the line." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., slammed Bove as being "as far from the mainstream as any judicial nominee we have considered in this chamber." "He is a Trumpian henchman — the extreme of the extreme of the extreme. He is openly hostile to the rule of law. He is fundamentally opposed to democratic norms. He lacks the temperament to serve as a jurist," Schumer recently said on the Senate floor. "And above all, Mr. Bove is religiously obedient to Donald Trump." An initial Justice Department whistleblower,Erez Reuveni, told Congress via his lawyers that Bove told subordinates that they might have to ignore court orders blocking Trump's deportation efforts, comments that concerned Reuveni. It allegedly occurred the day before the administration carried outdeportations under the Alien Enemies Act. That allegation, which was echoed by a second whistleblower, relayed a meeting on March 14 where Bove warned that their planned deportations could be blocked by a court order, with Reuveni's attorneys writing in the disclosure that "Bove stated that DOJ would need to consider telling the courts 'f--- you' and ignore any such court order." The allegations made by Reuveni were critical for Murkowski. "I don't think that somebody who has counseled other attorneys that you should ignore the law, you should reject the law — I don't think that that individual should be placed in a lifetime seat on the bench," Murkowski told NBC News. A third whistleblower, who approached senators with a separate allegation against Bove more recently had provided evidence suggesting Bove misled senators during his confirmation hearing, when discussing his handling of the Justice Department's dismissal of the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News. The details of how Bove specifically misled senators have not been publicly disclosed, and the connection to Adams' case was first reportedby The Washington Post. Grassley's staff met with attorneys for the third whistleblower, but the chairman said the allegations against Bove would not delay his confirmation vote. Skepticism for Bove cuts across ideological lines. The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial boardwarned that Bove's"reputation lately is as a smashmouth partisan who wields the law as a weapon." Ahead of the vote, Sens. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Cory Booker, D-N.J.,wrote a letterasking the DOJ's acting inspector general whether it is conducting an investigation into Bove. "As the Senate approaches a final vote this week on Mr. Bove's nomination to serve as United States Circuit Judge for the Third Circuit, it is imperative that Senators exercise their constitutional duty of advice and consent with full knowledge of Mr. Bove's actions," Schiff and Booker wrote. "We therefore request that you clarify for Senators whether your office is undertaking any investigations of or related to Mr. Bove. In the event these whistleblower complaints and other reports have not already prompted investigations by your office, we urge you to undertake a thorough review of these disclosures and allegations," they added. Earlier on Tuesday, Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said he had been approached by whistleblowers who have submitted complaints regarding Bove's nomination, adding that he would be "conferring with Chair Grassley" and planned to "follow his lead." Tillis, who is retiring from Congress, has been considered a gettable vote for Democrats on some Trump nominees. He said he was frustrated with the late disclosure of the third whistleblower's claims, comparing it to the late allegations that came out against Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his 2018 confirmation battle to be on the Supreme Court. He voted to confirm Bove.

Minnesota calls in National Guard after St. Paul slammed by 'digital attack'

Minnesota calls in National Guard after St. Paul slammed by 'digital attack'

(Reuters) -Minnesota has called in the National Guard after the city of St. Paul was slammed by what its mayor described as a "deliberate, coordinated, digital attack" carried out by sophisticated hackers. The office of Governor Tim Walz said in a statement that he was deploying the Guard, which has a cyber protection component, because the attack had "exceeded the city's response capacity." In a press conference earlier on Tuesday, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said the city had "initiated a full shut down of our information systems as a defensive measure to contain the threat," triggering WiFi outages across city buildings, disruptions to city libraries, and suspension of network resources. "While these disruptions are difficult, they are necessary steps to limit exposure, preserve system integrity, and protect sensitive information," he said. Carter said the city had hired two firms to help handle the cleanup operation and was working with the FBI. He did not identify the firms. The precise nature of the attack has not been publicly disclosed. Crippling hacks that knock out city services are a hallmark of ransomware incidents, in which hackers deploy data-scrambling software to paralyze victim networks until a ransom payment is made. Army Brigadier General Simon Schaefer of the Minnesota National Guard said in a statement that the Minnesota National Guard is providing cyber protection support at the request of the city. An FBI spokesperson told Reuters that the agency was aware of the situation and in contact with city officials. "We are working with partners and lending our investigative expertise," the spokesperson said. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency referred questions to the city of St. Paul.
