BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Bismarck man is facing felony charges after being accused of injuring his 4-month-old daughter. The 22-year-old father is charged with felony child abuse, which carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence upon conviction. A police affidavit says the baby\u2019s head injuries were discovered during a medical visit in late February. The affidavit says Denzil Harvest was the sole caregiver of his daughter the evening before the medical visit. Harvest has denied shaking or intentionally harming the baby. But police say he admitted he may have handled her too aggressively causing her head to snap back and forth.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A North Dakota lawmaker expelled for allegedly threatening and sexually harassing women at the Capitol says he will not challenge the expulsion in court. Former GOP Rep. Luke Simons said in a statement Thursday that he could not in “good conscience prioritize my legal battle over the potential outcome of important legislation for the people of North Dakota.\u201d Simons, who has denied wrongdoing, has argued he wasn\u2019t being afforded due process. North Dakota\u2019s Constitution gives both chambers of the Legislature the right to expel a member with two-thirds approval.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 State officials want to use another round of federal stimulus money to continue testing wastewater for variants of COVID-19 in North Dakota. The coronavirus wastewater testing began last July and would end in June if funding isn\u2019t continued. Twenty-one communities are participating in the testing statewide. Wastewater from those cities is analyzed at a North Dakota State University lab where researchers look for the virus contained in the fecal matter of people who are infected. State officials say the analysis is helpful in pinpointing communities that might need more regular virus testing, given that far fewer people are opting for tests now than at the height of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden signed into law the $1.9 trillion relief package that he says will help the U.S. defeat the coronavirus and nurse the economy back to health. He had been set to sign the American Rescue Plan on Friday. But the White House moved the signing up to Thursday afternoon, hours before the president plans to deliver his first prime-time address to the American public on the one-year anniversary of the pandemic. Chief of staff Ron Klain tweets that the bill arrived at the White House late Wednesday, more quickly than anticipated. Klain says, \u201cWe want to move as fast as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Attorney General Merrick Garland is seeking to assure career staffers at the Justice Department that he will prioritize restoring the agency’s reputation for political independence and ensuring equal justice after a tumultuous four years under former President Donald Trump. Garland is inheriting a Justice Department embattled by a turbulent era under Trump, who insisted that the attorney general and the department must be loyal to him personally, battering the department\u2019s reputation for political independence. Former Attorney General William Barr resigned in December, weeks after he said there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential race, contradicting Trump\u2019s baseless claims of election fraud.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden’s nominee for health secretary has cleared a key hurdle. The Senate voted Thursday to move ahead with the nomination of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York forced a vote to overcome Republican opposition that succeeded 51-48. The action puts Biden one step closer to filling the top position at Health and Human Services, a department that is playing a key role in the federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Republicans opposing Becerra has voiced concern about his record in support of abortion rights.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Supreme Court has called off upcoming arguments over a Trump administration plan to remake Medicaid by requiring recipients to work, agreeing to a request from the Biden administration. The court had been scheduled to take up the issue on March 29. But the Biden administration already has decided preliminarily that work requirements do not fit with Medicaid\u2019s goal of providing health care to lower-income people. It\u2019s the fifth time since the November presidential election that the change in administrations has led the court to dismiss or delay cases it had already agreed to hear.<\/p>\n

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 A lawyer for Gov. Andrew Cuomo said she has reported a groping allegation made against him to local police after the woman involved declined to press charges herself. The Times Union of Albany reported Wednesday that an unidentified aide had claimed Cuomo reached under her shirt and fondled her after summoning her to his official residence. Cuomo said he never touched anyone appropriately. Beth Garvey, the governor\u2019s acting counsel, said in a statement Thursday that as a matter of state policy, the woman who made the allegations was told she should contact her local police department. She said she phoned police herself when the woman declined, through her lawyer, to make a formal complaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
