WASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he is nominating businessman John Phelan, one of his former campaign donors, to serve as his United States Secretary of the Navy. Phelan, who has never served in the military, founded and leads the private-investment firm Rugger Management, located in Trump’s home city of Palm Beach, Fla. He was a major donor to Trump’s reelection campaign. “John will be a tremendous force for our Naval Servicemembers, and a steadfast leader in advancing my America First vision. He will put the business of the U.S. Navy above all else,” Trump said in a statement Tuesday evening. His nomination comes weeks after Trump picked former Fox News host and Army National Guard Veteran Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth’s nomination was met with shock by Pentagon officials. Sexual assault allegations against the former “Fox and Friends” host may threaten his confirmation in the Senate . “John’s intelligence and leadership are unmatched,” Trump said in his statement about the Navy Secretary nomination. “His incredible knowledge and experience will elevate the lives of the brave Americans who serve our Nation.

Matt Gaetz is mercilessly mocked over surprising new career move: 'Not on my bingo card'The Philadelphia Eagles’ top-ranked defense will face its ultimate challenge this Sunday when they take on the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and his unit aren’t just preparing for MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson but also for Derrick Henry, the NFL’s most dominant running back this season. When asked about the daunting task of facing the league’s No. 1 offense, Fangio quipped, “I’d rather play Swarthmore.” The joke about facing a college that hasn't fielded a football team since 2000 makes more sense when looking at the numbers his defense will face. © Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images Henry is in the midst of another remarkable season, ranking second in the NFL with 1,325 rushing yards on 221 carries. His league-leading 13 rushing touchdowns and impressive 6.0 yards per carry have been the backbone of Baltimore’s ground game. Together, Henry and Jackson power an offense that averages 180 rushing yards per game, second only to the Eagles. “You’ve got to defend Henry, but they’ve got a lot of weapons and a lot of ways they can hurt you,” Fangio said, acknowledging the dual threat of facing both a power back like Henry and a dynamic playmaker like Jackson in the same backfield. The Ravens’ offense has been historically prolific, leading the league with 427 total yards per game – 32 yards more than their closest competitor. They’ve also been incredibly efficient, ranking second in the NFL with 30.3 points per game since Week 3. Jackson, last season's MVP, is putting together the best year of his career. He leads the league with 3,053 passing yards, has thrown 27 touchdowns against just three interceptions, and boasts a stellar 117.9 passer rating. His ability to balance the passing game with his rushing threat makes him one of the NFL’s most difficult quarterbacks to contain. Baltimore’s attack is not only dynamic but also balanced, with a chance to become the first team in 83 years to lead the NFL in both rushing and passing yards. Zay Flowers, on pace for a 1,100-yard season, provides a deep threat alongside Rashod Bateman, whose 16.4 yards per catch ranks third in the league. Tight end Mark Andrews and veteran wideout Nelson Agholor round out a versatile receiving corps that keeps defenses guessing.

Fangio’s unit has excelled at both stopping the run and pressuring opposing quarterbacks, but they’ve yet to face an offense as balanced and explosive as the Ravens’. When the league’s most unstoppable force meets the most immovable object on Sunday, the outcome depends on how well Philadelphia contains both Jackson’s electric playmaking and Henry’s hard-hitting running style. For the Eagles, it’s a chance to make their biggest statement of the season and solidify their status as the NFL’s most complete team. Related: Brandon Graham: The End of an Eagles Era

The president pardoned Hunter Biden late Sunday evening, reversing his previous pledges with a grant of clemency that covers more than a decade of any federal crimes his son might have committed. The 82-year-old president said in a statement that his son’s prosecution on charges of tax evasion and falsifying a federal weapons purchase form were politically motivated. “He believes in the justice system, but he also believes that politics infected the process and led to a miscarriage of justice,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday. She, along with Biden and other White House officials, insisted for months that Hunter Biden would not get a pardon. That explanation did not satisfy some Democrats, angry that Biden’s reversal could make it harder to take on Trump, who argues that indictments and a conviction against him were a matter of Biden and Democrats turning the justice system against him. “This is a bad precedent that could be abused by later Presidents and will sadly tarnish his reputation,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis wrote on social media. Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., posted: “This wasn’t a politically motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies and was convicted by a jury of his peers.” Certainly, the president has Democratic defenders who note Trump’s use of presidential power to pardon a slew of his convicted aides, associates and friends, several for activities tied to Trump’s campaign and first administration. “Trump pardoned Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort, as well as his son-in-law’s father, Charles Kushner — who he just appointed US ambassador to France,” prominent Democratic fundraiser Jon Cooper wrote on social media. Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison said there “is no standard for Donald Trump, and the highest standard for Democrats and Joe Biden.” Harrison pointed to Trump’s apparent plans to oust FBI Director Christopher Wray and replace him with loyalist Kash Patel and suggested the GOP’s pursuit of Hunter Biden would not have ended without clemency. First lady Jill Biden said Monday from the White House: “Of course I support the pardon of my son.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!
