Intel Agrees to Sell U.S. a 10% Stake in Its Business

 The deal is among the largest government interventions in a U.S. company since the rescue of the auto industry after the 2008 financial crisis.




President Trump said on Friday that Intel, the troubled Silicon Valley chipmaker, had agreed to sell the U.S. government a 10 percent stake in its business, worth $8.9 billion, in one of the largest government interventions in a U.S. company since the rescue of the auto industry after the 2008 financial crisis.

At a news conference, Mr. Trump said the agreement had come out of negotiations last week with Lip-Bu Tan, Intel’s chief executive.

“I said, ‘I think it would be good having the United States as your partner.’ He agreed, and they’ve agreed to do it,” Mr. Trump said. “And I think it’s a great deal for them.”

Intel said the United States would invest $8.9 billion in its stock, on top of $2.2 billion that the government has paid the company under the CHIPS and Science Act, a federal program signed into law in 2022 that delivered billions in grants to revive U.S. semiconductor manufacturing. The government will not take a board seat or have other governance rights at Intel.

FBI conducts search at Trump critic John Bolton’s home and office as part of resumed national security investigation

 


The FBI conducted a court-authorized search Friday at former national security adviser John Bolton’s home and office as part of a renewed investigation into whether he disclosed classified information in his 2020 book, according to two people familiar with the matter.


The investigative step immediately drew criticism that President Donald Trump was using the muscle of the US government to target a political foe, though the specific basis for the searches was not clear.

Bolton served as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser in his first term, but the president fired him in 2019 and the two have been sharply at odds ever since. Trump had previously threatened to jail Bolton over the 2020 book, which was critical of Trump’s foreign policy knowledge, and the Justice Department investigated him in Trump’s first-term. That probe was closed under President Joe Biden.

Since Trump’s return to office, Bolton has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of his foreign policy and ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine, often deriding the president for his perceived deference to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

CNN observed FBI personnel at Bolton’s house in the Washington, DC, area on Friday morning. They were seen speaking to a person on the porch of the house, and at least four to six agents were seen going inside. Some of the agents took bags out of the vehicles to bring inside, but nothing was seen coming out of the residence.

The FBI also was searching Bolton’s office on Friday morning, according to a source. CNN saw several unmarked federal vehicles outside the building in downtown Washington.

While the searches stemmed from the Justice Department reopening the years-old investigation involving the book, investigators are also exploring other possible leaks as a form of “weaponization,” a source said.

Asked about the search on Friday, Trump told reporters he knew “nothing about it.” He added that he expected the Justice Department to brief him likely later in the day and suggested he had the power to initiate law enforcement moves.

“I don’t want to know about it. It’s not necessary. I could know about it. I could be the one starting it, and I’m actually the chief law enforcement officer. But I feel that it’s better this way,” he said, before calling Bolton a “low life.”

“When I hired him, he served a good purpose, because, as you know, he was one of the people that forced Bush to do the ridiculous bombings in the Middle East. Bolton, he wants to always kill people, and he’s very bad at what he does, but he worked out great for me,” Trump said.

Vice President JD Vance later said in an interview for Meet the Press with Kristen Welker that “classified documents are certainly part” of the motivation behind the investigation, “but I think that there’s a broad concern about, about Ambassador Bolton.”

Vance denied that the search was politically motivated, characterizing it as part of an evidence-gathering operation “driven by the law and not by politics.”

“If they ultimately bring a case, it will be because they determine that he has broken the law,” he said. “We’re going to be deliberate about that, because we don’t think that we should throw people — even if they disagree with us politically, maybe especially if they disagree with us politically — you shouldn’t throw people willy-nilly in prison.”

Reached by CNN earlier on Friday, Bolton said he was unaware of the FBI activity and was looking into it further. His attorney didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The search at Bolton’s house was first reported by the New York Post. The FBI declined to comment on it.

Focus on the Family Founder James Dobson dies at 89

Conservative Christian leader James Dobson — who founded Focus on the Family and was once called "the nation's most influential evangelical leader" — died Thursday, according to a statement from the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

Dobson authored dozens of books, hosted a well known radio show, and spent his life advocating for traditional family values.

He grew to prominence in the 1970s as a psychologist giving parenting advice (particularly emphasizing the need for discipline), and influenced a generation of evangelical parents in the process. He then founded Focus on the Family in 1977, and helped establish the Christian think tank Family Research Council in the early '80s.

Madrid earned a narrow win against Osasuna.



The summer signing from Liverpool had played five times for his new club at the Fifa Club World Cup, where they reached the semi-finals, under new boss Xabi Alonso.

But this was his Bernabeu bow and he received a standing ovation when he was replaced by Dani Carvajal in the 68th minute.

Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal from the penalty spot as Real won their opening league game of the season in Alonso's first domestic match in charge.

The France international sent goalkeeper Sergio Herrera the wrong way after he had been fouled in the box.

Madrid, who finished second last season under Carlo Ancelotti, were dominant and could have scored more.

Defenders Dean Huijsen - also making his La Liga bow after a summer move from Bournemouth - and Eder Militao forced saves from Sergio Herrera from long range.

There were also debuts for £43m former Benfica left-back Alvaro Carreras and teenage midfielder Franco Mastantuono, a £38.5m recruit from River Plate.

Osasuna had Abel Bretones sent off in injury time for catching Goncalo Garcia.

Paris Unveiled: A Guide to the City of Light

 

Paris. The name itself conjures up images of romance, art, history, and unparalleled beauty. While the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are undoubtedly the stars of the show, the true magic of the city lies in its blend of grand, monumental sights and the quiet, charming corners only the locals know about. This guide will take you on a journey through both, ensuring your Parisian experience is as rich as it is memorable.

The Popular Icons You Can’t Miss

No trip to Paris is complete without seeing these world-renowned landmarks. They are popular for a reason—and trust me, they live up to the hype.

The Eiffel Tower

The iron lady of Paris, the Eiffel Tower is more than just a monument; it's the very symbol of the city. While you can climb it for a breathtaking view, one of the best experiences is to simply admire it from afar. Walk through the Champ de Mars for a classic picnic view, or head to the Trocadéro Gardens for that perfect postcard photo. For a truly magical moment, wait until dusk when the tower sparkles with thousands of lights for five minutes at the start of every hour.

The Louvre Museum

A former royal palace, the Louvre is now the most visited museum in the world. It’s a city within a building, home to masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Don't try to see it all in one day; instead, focus on a few key wings or artists that interest you. The I.M. Pei glass pyramid in the courtyard is a work of art in itself, and it's a fantastic spot for photos.

Notre-Dame Cathedral

An enduring masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, Notre-Dame stands proudly on the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine River. While it is still undergoing extensive restoration after the 2019 fire, its magnificent exterior and enduring spirit are as captivating as ever. You can still admire its intricate façade and feel the weight of centuries of history.

The Arc de Triomphe & Champs-Élysées

Standing at the western end of the famous avenue, the Arc de Triomphe honors those who fought for France. Climb to the top for an incredible panoramic view of the city and its twelve avenues radiating out from the star-shaped roundabout. The Champs-Élysées, with its high-end shops and cafes, is perfect for a leisurely stroll and a spot of people-watching.

Hidden Gems for the Curious Traveler

Once you've seen the main sights, it’s time to get a little lost and discover the secret heart of Paris.

Le Marais

The historic district of Le Marais is a charming labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets, elegant mansions, and hidden courtyards. It's home to the beautiful and perfectly symmetrical Place des Vosges, a tranquil park surrounded by red-brick townhouses. This neighborhood offers an eclectic mix of trendy boutiques, vintage shops, Jewish bakeries, and lively cafés.

Canal Saint-Martin

Escape the tourist crowds and head to Canal Saint-Martin in the 10th arrondissement. This trendy, bohemian neighborhood is where you'll find locals enjoying a picnic by the water, playing pétanque, or grabbing a drink at a quaint riverside café. The area has a relaxed, village-like atmosphere, complete with charming iron footbridges and a series of locks that are fascinating to watch.

The Musée Rodin

While the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay get all the attention, the Rodin Museum offers a peaceful retreat. Housed in an 18th-century mansion, the museum displays Auguste Rodin's most famous sculptures, including The Thinker and The Kiss. The real treasure is the expansive garden, where the sculptures are set among manicured lawns and fountains, creating a truly serene and inspiring experience.

Promenade Plantée

Forget the typical city walk and take a stroll on the Promenade Plantée. This elevated park, built on a former railway line, is a stunning "green walkway" that stretches for nearly 3 miles. It's an oasis of calm and greenery, offering a unique perspective of the city as you walk high above the streets.

Whether you're marveling at the scale of the Eiffel Tower or getting lost in the quiet streets of Le Marais, Paris has a way of captivating your heart. It's a city that invites you to see it from every angle, to taste it, to feel it, and to love it. So go on, and start your Parisian adventure!
