The Trump administration Wednesday proposed new regulations for online prediction markets that would ban bets on war, assassination and other extreme events, but still allow many sports bets to operate on the growing platforms.

Critics say the proposed rules don’t do enough to rein in an industry that has sparked jurisdictional battles between state and federal governments, particularly when it comes to sports betting. 

LINCOLN — Nebraska U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts hosted a roughly one-hour tele-town hall Monday, during which he was asked about the Iran War, penalties for misusing government social programs, women’s sports, and the SAVE Act. 

Ricketts staff said the tele-town hall had about 14,000 listeners. The calls and questions were screened to make sure a variety of topics were covered.

The Nebraska Democratic Party criticized the format of the meeting and the screening of questions, posting on X, “Shockingly, he didn’t let a single critical caller ask a question.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to a single count of retaining classified information under a deal with the Justice Department that could allow him to avoid prison time, a person familiar with the matter said Thursday.
