ST. LOUIS - Major League Baseball has suspended St. Louis starting pitcher Miles Mikolas for five games after hitting Cubs outfielder Ian Happ with a pitch deemed intentional by umpires. Mikolas was ejected from Thursday’s series opener against the Chicago Cubs after plunking Ian Happ with a pitch, just moments after an errant backswing from Happ hit Willson Contreras on top of his mask, led to sudden pain and forced him to leave early. She says an Uber stranded her, then things really got weird Umpires allege there was intent in Mikolas hitting Happ, leading to the ejection. It ended the St. Louis Cardinals veteran’s night after just 14 pitches and three batters faced Thursday in an eventual 10-3 loss. Mikolas, in postgame comments, didn't necessarily agree with that assessment. Mikolas intends to appeal the suspension, which was set to begin Friday night. Manager Oli Marmol was also suspended one game and fined as a result of Mikolas' actions.

Trump returned document he claimed wasn’t real on recording

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:33:56 GMT

By Jamie Gangel | CNNThe top-secret document that former President Donald Trump discussed at a 2021 meeting at his New Jersey golf club was included in the 15 boxes returned to the National Archives in January of last year, according to a source familiar with the matter. But Trump has denied it was real.Trump was charged Thursday with retaining the classified document, described as a “presentation concerning military activity in a foreign country,” which CNN has reported is Iran, as part of the superseding indictment. He had previously been charged with retaining 31 other documents. The Iran war plan document, however, stands out as the only one from the 15 boxes Trump initially returned – before any subpoena was issued or search was conducted – that has led to any criminal charge.In the new court filing, the document is described as having been in Trump’s possession from the day he left the White House in 2021 until January 17, 2022, the same date Trump is said to have returned box...
