一 | Sidney Powell, one of 18 co-defendants in former President Donald Trump's election interference case in Georgia, has taken a plea deal in which she has agreed to testify in the case.She is pleading guilty to six misdemeanor charges, according to the agreement read in court Thursday. She will get 12 months of probation for each count, as well as a $6,000 fine.As part of the agreement, Powell must "testify truthfully about any co-defendants" involved in the case and "provide all documents to the district attorney's office" relevant to their case against the other co-defendants, according to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee.Steve Sadow, Trump's lead counsel in the Georgia case, responded to Powell's plea deal by telling ABC News in a statement, "Assuming truthful testimony in the Fulton County case, it will be favorable to my overall defense strategy."Powell's plea comes a day before she was scheduled to go on trial along with co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro.Chesebro, according to sources, last month rejected a similar plea deal with the state, ABC News was first to report yesterday.Regarding Powell's plea deal, former Georgia prosecutor Chris Timmons told ABC News, "From the D.A.'s Office's perspective, it can help them in a number of ways. It focuses the trial to acts that are relevant to Mr. Chesebro. It also means the State's witnesses are facing one cross examination instead of two."Prosecutors accused Powell, a former Trump campaign attorney, of helping tamper with voting machines in Coffee County as part of efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.She is not to "have any communication" with any of the co-defendants in the case or members of the media, per the terms of her agreement.She will also have to write an apology letter to the people of the state of Georgia, "which you have already satisfied," McAfee said during Thursday's court proceeding.Powell, Chesebro, Trump, and 16 others pleaded not guilty in August to all charges in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state of Georgia.Powell is the second defendant in the case to strike a plea agreement after Georgia bail bondsman Scott Hall last month took a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to tampering with voting machine equipment and received probation in exchange for agreeing to testify at the trial of other co-defendants.Chesebro, an attorney, is facing seven counts after prosecutors said he drafted a strategy to use so-called "alternate electors" to prevent Joe Biden from receiving 270 electoral votes in the 2020 election, according to the indictment.Jury selection in his case is scheduled to get underway Friday.。
二 | 国防部：台湾当归 归来天地宽The MND: Taiwan will Return and Have a Better Future1月17日上午，国防部新闻局局长、国防部新闻发言人吴谦大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。视频加载中...记者：台湾“中央社”报道，台湾地区领导人赖清德近日发表讲话时妄称，中国、俄罗斯等国正威胁以规则为基础的国际秩序，严重影响印太及全球和平稳定。台湾应继续提高“国防”预算，强化“国防”力量。请问对此有何评论？Question: According to the “Taiwan Central News Agency”, Lai Ching-te, leader of the Taiwan region recently said that countries like China and Russia threaten the rule-based international order and undermine peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. Therefore, Taiwan needs to continue to raise “defense budget” and enhance “defense capabilities.” What’s your comment?吴谦：赖清德之流数典忘祖、一派胡言。《开罗宣言》和《波茨坦公告》等一系列国际法文件明确台湾回归中国，这是二战后国际秩序的重要组成部分。二战的胜利果实必须得到尊重和维护，台湾除了作为中国的一部分，没有其他的国际法地位。Wu Qian: Lai Ching-te and his kind have betrayed their ancestors and what he said was far away from the truth. International documents including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation have confirmed that the Taiwan region should be returned to China. Such fact is an important part of the post-WWII international order. The victory and outcome of the WWII must be respected and safeguarded. There is no other status of the Taiwan region in the international law than being a part of China.事实上，赖清德当局勾连外部势力不断谋“独”挑衅，已经成为破坏台海乃至亚太地区和平稳定的最大乱源。正告赖清德当局及“台独”分子，“以武谋独”，不过是螳臂当车，完全是自掘坟墓。
三 | 搞“台独”绝不会有好下场，解放军打“独”促统绝不会有一丁点手软。我们有充分的理由相信，台湾当归，归来天地宽。The Lai Ching-te administration, in collusion with foreign forces, has been making constant provocations for “Taiwan independence”. It is now the biggest source of chaos that undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and the Asia Pacific. We warn the Lai Ching-te administration and separatists for “Taiwan independence” that any attempt to seek independence by force is just like holding back the tide with a broom, and will eventually lead to self-destruction. Those seeking “Taiwan independence” will never have a good end. The PLA will spare no effort to fight separatism and promote national reunification. We have full confidence that the Taiwan region will return to the motherland and will have a better future after its return.。
