Jordanian security forces have arrested three suspects in connection with the recent armed attack on a Greek Orthodox church in the village of Hammoud. The arrests were made on Monday inside an abandoned house following an exchange of gunfire between security personnel and the suspects.

The attack, which targeted a funeral procession, resulted in between seven and nine deaths, alongside dozens of injured victims. Interior Minister Mazen al-Faraya announced that authorities "arrested the killers" and are evaluating "all circumstances that push young people towards extremism" to bring all accomplices to justice. King Abdullah II previously vowed to enforce severe penalties over the rare incident against the country's Christian community.

US President Donald Trump is facing heightened scrutiny following recent campaign statements and revelations regarding financial donations to a White House project. Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump suggested the possibility of serving a third term in office, asserting, "I have the right," despite constitutional restrictions set by the 22nd Amendment.

Concurrently, leaked internal fundraising documents reveal that major contributors to a $330 million White House ballroom project secured direct access to senior administration officials. The reports have intensified ongoing debates concerning donor influence and executive boundaries in Washington.

Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado has returned to Venezuela after nearly ten months in exile, traveling from the western state of Lara toward Caracas amidst gatherings of supporters. Her public re-emergence follows a tacit diplomatic understanding involving Washington after seven prior failed attempts to enter the country.

Machado announced her arrival on social media, writing, "I am here. With you." Her return comes at a pivotal juncture: while former President Nicolás Maduro was arrested by United States forces, Chavista officials still hold domestic administrative authority, and Washington maintains tight oversight of the nation's energy sector. Addressing her return, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed hope for her safety while reaffirming satisfaction with ongoing American operations in the region.

Federal prosecutors have moved to charge former FBI Director James Comey with allegedly disclosing classified national defense information to an unauthorized recipient, according to court documents unsealed in Washington.

Comey faces two counts in the latest court filing. This marks the third time the US Department of Justice has brought criminal charges against Comey, a prominent critic of President Donald Trump who was removed from his leadership post in 2017. Previous indictments against Comey included charges of making false statements to Congress—which were subsequently dismissed by a federal judge—and a separate charge earlier this year involving a social media post.
