There is no place in our society for actions like what is being alleged.'The indictment claimed Gregory committed the crimes between 1987 and 2026, which included at least three instances of sexual abuse on a child that included three or more children. It further alleged that three of the instances constituted "the offense of aggravated sexual battery."He is being held at the Sumner County Jail on a $750,000 bond. Online records list two charges: continuous sexual abuse of a child and aggravated sexual battery.Other local officials were stunned by the allegations."As a government official where the alleged events occurred, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on this case," Millersville Mayor Lincoln Atwood said. "I have full confidence in those investigating these events. I also have full faith in our judicial system. No one is above the law.""These allegations are serious. My prayers are with all potential victims," Vice Mayor Dustin Darnall said. "I will remain committed to supporting all victims, especially victims of sexual abuse. There is no place in our society for actions like what is being alleged," he added.Gregory served as a city commissioner for 14 years.

President Donald Trump's new acting spy chief arrived at his post Friday with orders to fire hundreds of intelligence officials — clearing the way for Trump's election meddling aspirations in the midterms.Bill Pulte, who took over the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Friday without Senate confirmation, can hold the post for up to 210 days under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act — well past November's midterm elections.CNN reported that Pulte showed up on his first day with a list of employees and that he "eyes firing hundreds."Trump has been explicit about what he wants Pulte to do with that window."He may find out some things about the rigged elections," Trump told reporters this month. "I think he wants to do it very much."Reuters reported Friday that the White House has suppressed an ODNI report on voting machine vulnerabilities for months.Some officials believe the report doesn't go far enough to validate Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Pulte has already been briefed on it, two sources told Reuters.Trump has told the Wall Street Journal he wants Pulte to fire "a lot of people." Pulte's acting status is the point, Trump said: "You're less shackled."Those firings would gut the career analysts most likely to push back on the ODNI report's findings, and on any action taken aimed at midterms.Reuters and Foreign Policy have reported that the CIA has already stopped contributing to some ODNI assessments because of friction under outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and that top analysts are avoiding the National Intelligence Council for fear of political pressure."DNI Gabbard spent 18 months and untold taxpayer dollars trying to give substance to lies about the 2020 election and found absolutely nothing," election law expert David Becker said, adding that Pulte was "hand-picked to replace her precisely because he too embraces the lies and conspiracy theories while ignoring the evidence."
Reporters received exclusive tours of the new Air Force One, a former Qatari jet reported to have "gold plating throughout" to match the design requests of President Donald Trump.The tours offered the public their first look inside the plane.The aircraft, designated the VC-25B Bridge, arrived Friday at Joint Base Andrews after a $400 million military overhaul that added secure communications and anti-missile defenses to the Boeing 747-8 once owned by the Qatari royal family.The U.S. Air Force kept the interior largely intact."This feels more like a house than a plane," Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese wrote on X.She counted solid wood tables, lounge couches, photos of the National Mall in the conference room, and a presidential seal on every seatbelt buckle. The press cabin is two to three times the size of the old plane's.Center Square Washington bureau chief Sarah Roderick-Fitch saw white leather, wooden paneling, cream carpet, and silver accents. The decor was "simple, but elegant," she wrote.GB News Chief U.S. Correspondent Ben Leo called it "INSANE."Trump's office and meeting rooms, he said, were "better than five star hotels." He counted 24 press seats reclining fully flat and four Rolls-Royce engines."This plane was transformed into a flying White House at a level of luxury that nobody has ever seen before," Trump said as "God Bless the USA" played."Nobody tops this one," Trump said of landing at foreign airports, "and that's the way we have to have it for our country."The New York Times reported Trump's personal plane has "gold plating throughout, including on the seatbelt buckles," and that he wanted "gold trim" on the new jet.The Qatari interior, by French firm Alberto Pinto Cabinet, featured gold-colored walls and gold furnishings. The Air Force said the layout was kept "minimally changed."Qatar gifted the 747-8 amid ethics objections. Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat, called it a "brazen" violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause. Trump dismissed the criticism as "stupid."The plane will complete commissioning flights before entering presidential service. Trump has promised it will lead a flyover of Washington on July 4.
