A divided panel of appeals court judges has ruled that a Trump administration policy illegally banned transgender troops from military service. Monday's majority opinion by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit partially upholds a March 2025 ruling by U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington. Reyes concluded that President Donald Trump’s executive order to exclude transgender troops from military service likely violates their constitutional rights. The administration appealed after Reyes issued a preliminary injunction requested by attorneys for six transgender people who are active-duty service members and two others seeking to join the military.

NBC News Top Stories | Former CIA officer accused of stealing 300 gold bars, sources say by Julia Ainsley, Dan De Luce, Gary Grumbach
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
A former senior CIA officer, David Rush, was arrested and charged with criminal theft of public money after federal agents seized roughly 300 gold bars valued at more than $40 million, along with about $2 million in cash and luxury watches, from his home; court documents allege he fabricated his education and work history for nearly two decades, falsely claiming degrees from Clemson and Rensselaer, a pilot’s license, and other credentials, and he improperly requested and kept funds—including foreign currency and gold bars—purportedly for “work‑related expenses.” The FBI’s investigation, prompted by a CIA internal review, highlights concerns about the effectiveness of continuous vetting and background‑monitoring processes for intelligence personnel.
