SUMMARY: Multiple states have reported mysterious drone sightings, prompting a closed-door briefing for lawmakers from intelligence officials. While the White House assures there’s no danger to the public, frustrations grow as Americans seek clarity on the situation. President-elect Donald Trump has expressed skepticism, suggesting the government is withholding information. Federal authorities believe the unidentified objects include legally operated drones, planes, and stars, though some drones have reportedly flown over military bases, which is illegal. Local and state leaders urge Congress to grant more authority to address drone issues effectively. The rapid advancement of drone technology complicates regulatory responses.

The drone mystery continues with more sightings reported in multiple states. But the White House insists there is no danger to the American public.

SUMMARY: Two codefendants in the YSL RICO trial, Yak Gotti (Damonte Kendrick) and Shannon Stillwell, appeared in court. Kendrick sought emergency bond related to charges from a jail fight and contraband incidents while Stillwell accepted a plea deal, pleading no contest to gang-related charges, for which he received time served and 12 years of probation. Kendrick’s bond request faced opposition from the District Attorney, citing safety concerns and gang involvement. The judge delayed the bond decision due to an outstanding warrant. Stillwell is expected to be released soon and banned from Atlanta for five years.

Two YSL defendants — Deamonte Kendrick and Shannon Stillwell — appeared in Fulton County courtrooms on Tuesdays morning. They were both seeking release from jail. Stillwell should be released soon.
