Harvey Weinstein will attempt to overturn his conviction for sexual misconduct at the New York Court of Appeals today. 

The former studio boss was convicted nearly four years ago of a criminal sexual act and rape in the third degree amid the hashtag Me Too movement as a result. 

Weinstein’s lawyers will seek a new trial for his criminal sexual act charges, and argue that the rape charge is now outside the statute of limitations. 

Explosions struck a natural gas pipeline in Iran early Wednesday morning, with sources saying it was a sabotage and terrorist action. 

No provinces were reported to have suffered a cut in gas as a result of the attack. 

The Iranian oil minister compares the attacks to a similar set of unclaimed attacks on gas pipelines in 2011, which also took place in proximity to the anniversary of Iran’s Islamic revolution. 

The U.S. House of Representatives impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by one vote on Tuesday. 

The Republican-led House succeeded in gathering the votes after their attempt last week fell short by a single vote. 

This marks the first time in U.S. history that a sitting Cabinet secretary has been impeached, with Mayorkas’ critics citing his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border as fuel for their arguments as border control remains a controversial subject leading into the 2024 Presidential election.
