Prince Andrew steps back from royal duties
Prince Andrew has said that the Queen has given him permission to step back from public duties "for the foreseeable future" following a firestorm of criticism over an interview about his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, the Duke of York said he "unequivocally" regretted his relationship with the disgraced financier and was willing to aid in any ongoing investigations.
"It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family's work and the valuable work going on in the many organizations and charities that I am proud to support," Prince Andrew said.
"Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission."
A royal source told CNN that the Duke of York took the decision to step back from public duties following discussion with the Queen, Prince of Wales and others. The source said the decision was for the best, and that nothing was more important to any of the family than the institution itself.

“I thought you might have been high when you said it," Sen. Cory Booker joked as he criticized former Vice President Joe Biden's recent comments opposing the federal legalization of marijuana. During Wednesday's #Demdebate, Booker said marijuana in America is "already legal for privileged people" and "the war on drugs has been a war on black and brown people." Biden defended his position, saying he believes marijuana should be decriminalized.

Sen. Kamala Harris slammed Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's Fox News appearances during a heated exchange in the #Demdebate on Wednesday, suggesting that during the Obama administration Gabbard “spent four years full-time on Fox News” criticizing President Barack Obama.
CNN fact checked this claim: Harris’ characterization is misleading. Gabbard did appear on Fox News during the Obama administration, and often criticized the Obama administration’s Middle East policy. She has appeared much more frequently on Fox News since President Trump took office.

President Trump responded to stunning testimony from the US ambassador to the EU on Wednesday, reading from a statement that appeared to be written in black Sharpie. “I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Tell Zellinsky to do the right thing. This is the final word from the Pres. of the U.S.,” the paper read. Trump’s statement came in response to testimony from Gordon Sondland, who said in the public impeachment inquiry on Wednesday that he pressured Ukraine to investigate the Bidens at President Trump’s “express direction.” Trump sought to distance himself from Sondland — a major financial backer of Trump’s inauguration who was later appointed ambassador by Trump — repeatedly saying he told Sondland over the phone that on Ukraine, he wanted “nothing.” (📸: Mark Wilson/Getty Images)

Last month, Marian Scott was denied a school photo because her red, braided hair extensions violated her Michigan charter school’s policy that hair must be “of natural tones.” The incident sparked widespread outrage, and prompted Chicago photographer Jermaine Horton to arrange a special shoot for 8-year-old Marian. "I'm a father and I'm tired of seeing injustices like this happen," Horton said. "I wanted to go out there and help build this girl's confidence.” Marian wore her red extensions for the shoot. "I wanted her to be herself and to let her know that it's OK to be herself.”
