Roughly three hours of recorded interviews between Joe Biden and his memoir ghostwriter have been made public after a prolonged legal fight, and the tapes capture the former president casually discussing sensitive material he appeared to acknowledge keeping outside secure government channels. The Oversight Project, an arm of the Heritage Foundation, released the audio along with 117 pages of transcripts, many sections heavily redacted, after Biden dropped his lawsuit to keep the recordings sealed. The conversations took place across multiple sessions in 2016 and 2017, while Biden was finishing his second term as vice president and then shortly after leaving office. In one 2017 exchange with ghostwriter Mark Lewis Zwonitzer, Biden said…Open

A powerful earthquake struck Japan's southern Kyushu island on Tuesday afternoon, collapsing the second floor of a shopping mall and trapping an unknown number of people inside, with police telling Japanese media there were "a lot of deaths" at the site. The magnitude 7.1 quake hit the Kumamoto region at 4:27 p.m. local time, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, sending violent shaking across the southern end of the country's main island chain. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the event at a lower magnitude of 6.8, a discrepancy that remains unresolved between the two agencies. By either measure, the quake registered at the highest possible level, 7, on Japan's Shindo intensity scale, a reading that signals catastrophic ground…Open

eBay agreed to pay $55.7 million to a Massachusetts couple whose lives were upended by a coordinated harassment campaign orchestrated by former company employees, a scheme that included bloody masks, live insects, and physical surveillance. The settlement, announced Tuesday, ends a civil lawsuit brought by Ina and David Steiner, who ran a small e-commerce trade newsletter called ECommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts. Their critical coverage of eBay apparently so enraged company leadership that federal prosecutors say executives launched a systematic effort to intimidate and silence them. Seven former eBay employees were charged by the Department of Justice in 2020, and some went to prison. Under the terms CBS Boston…Open

Patrick Clancy took the stand as the first witness in his ex-wife's triple murder trial, describing a psychiatric decline so severe that a legal expert said one detail in his testimony "scared me." Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, faces three counts each of murder and strangulation in the January 2023 deaths of her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at the family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts.

The only question the jury must answer is whether she was criminally responsible when it happened. That question, cold intent or complete psychotic break,…Open
