Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern at the center of a major political scandal in the 1990s, has stated that Bill Clinton should have resigned following his impeachment by Congress for lying about their affair.

Lewinsky clarified that their relationship was consensual but emphasized that it was Clinton's responsibility to avoid placing her in such a vulnerable position. Reflecting on the scandal, she expressed the lasting impact it had on her life, noting the collateral damage it caused to women of her generation and the challenges she faced in reclaiming her identity.

The university has also appealed for expedited travel permits for her family, who are struggling after the loss of her mother to cancer last year. Local police are investigating the accident, with the driver in custody, but legal complications arise due to Ms. Shinde's medical state, which hinders the filing of a case without a family member present.
Published: Feb 27 2025, 1 pmeznews.inA video circulating on social media shows army commanders of the King of Thailand crawling and bowing before him, igniting mixed reactions online.

Three commanders crawl on all fours, while the fourth kneels, holding the crown, which they then place on the floor before bowing sideways and crawling backwards as a sign of respect. This traditional display of loyalty is deeply rooted in Thai culture, reflecting the reverence for the monarchy, which is often viewed as a divine institution. While some commentators defended the practice as a cultural norm, others criticized it as excessive and undermining human dignity. The ritual highlights the complex relationship between tradition and authority in Thailand, raising questions about respect and submission to royal power.

Published: Feb 27 2025, 2 pmeznews.inThe FBI has accused North Korea of orchestrating the largest cryptocurrency heist in history, stealing approximately $1.5 billion from the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit last week. In a public service announcement, the bureau identified the notorious group TraderTraitor, also known as the Lazarus Group, as the perpetrators of the theft. The FBI reported that the group is rapidly converting the stolen assets into Bitcoin and other virtual currencies, which are being dispersed across numerous addresses on multiple blockchains. Authorities anticipate that these assets will be laundered and eventually exchanged for fiat currency. The Lazarus Group, linked to North Korea's extensive cyber-warfare program, first gained infamy in 2014 for hacking Sony Pictures in retaliation for the film "The Interview." North Korea's cyber capabilities have since expanded, with a dedicated unit, Bureau 121, reportedly comprising 6,000 personnel operating from various locations.

Published: Feb 27 2025, 11 ameznews.inUS President Donald Trump has threatened legal action against authors and media outlets using anonymous sources, following the release of journalist Michael Wolff's controversial tell-all book, "All Or Nothing." In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump expressed his frustration with what he termed "fake books and stories," vowing to sue those he believes are spreading "defamatory fiction" to expose the non-existent sources. He suggested that such actions could lead to the creation of new laws. This latest move aligns with Trump's long-standing animosity towards mainstream media, which he frequently labels as "fake news." Additionally, the Trump administration has deviated from tradition by announcing that the White House will now select which media outlets receive close access to the president, further intensifying its contentious relationship with the press. Wolff's book includes explosive claims, including allegations about Trump's marriage and his mental state following an assassination attempt during the election campaign.
