Kamala Harris says 'real possibility of war' in Europe

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Acknowledging "the real possibility of war," Vice President Kamala Harris wrapped up a weekend of outreach to European allies with a push to bolster the West’s resolve in confronting Moscow with crippling sanctions as increasingly dire signs suggest Russia's Vladimir Putin plans to order an invasion of Ukraine.In a burst of diplomacy at the annual Munich Security Conference, Harris tried to make the case to American allies that rapidly escalating tensions on the Ukraine-Russian border meant European security was under "direct threat" and there should be unified support for economic penalties if the Kremlin invades its neighbor."We’re talking about the potential for war in Europe. I mean, let’s really take a moment to understand the significance of what we’re talking about," Harris told reporters before her return to Washington.

Ex-officer sentenced for smuggling drugs to federal inmates

NEWARK, N.J. - A former corrections officer who accepted bribes to deliver drugs to inmates at a federal prison in New Jersey has been sentenced to more than two years in prison. Paul Anton Wright will also have to forfeit the $50,000 he received in bribes as part of the 26-month sentence imposed Thursday. The 36-year-old Cinnaminson man had pleaded guilty to a bribery charge in November 2019. Federal prosecutors have said Wright received drugs and cash from people outside the Fort Dix federal prison who had ties to separate inmates. He smuggled in tobacco, synthetic marijuana and suboxone, a drug used to treat opioid addiction. He used some of the cash he received to gamble in Atlantic City.___DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 NEWS APP | FOX 29 WEATHER AUTHORITY APPSUBSCRIBE: Good Day Digest Newsletter | FOX 29 Philly on YouTubeAdvertisementFOLLOW: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
