The Colombian Prosecutor’s Office announced on Monday that Cristian González Ardila has been placed under preventive detention for his alleged involvement in the attack against Senator and presidential pre-candidate Miguel Uribe on June 7 during a campaign event in Bogotá.

According to an official statement, “González Ardila’s role was to arrive at the scene using a motorized vehicle to ensure the escape of the individual hired to carry out the attack against Senator Uribe once it was committed.”

González Ardila faces charges of attempted aggravated homicide as well as illegal manufacturing, trafficking, or possession of firearms. He surrendered to authorities during a raid and search operation at his residence in Bogotá.

The Colombian Prosecutor’s Office has revealed that six individuals are currently being prosecuted in connection with the case, including the alleged mastermind of the assassination attempt, Elder José Arteaga Hernández, known as ‘El Costeño.’

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump sharply criticized federal judge Allison D. Burroughs, who is presiding over the litigation between his administration and Harvard University, vowing to appeal immediately if the ruling does not go in his favor.

“The Harvard case was just heard in Massachusetts by a judge appointed by Obama. She is a TOTAL DISASTER, I say this even before hearing her decision,” Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social.

The dispute between the White House and Harvard arose after the administration ordered the freezing of over $2 billion in federal funds to the university, accusing it of implementing affirmative action policies and restricting what they describe as a “diversity of ideas.” The legal case was filed Monday in a Boston court.

Trump’s administration, through the Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, has accused Harvard of promoting practices contrary to ideological diversity. Earlier this year, the government demanded a review of Harvard’s admission processes, hiring practices, and the political ideology of both staff and students — a request the university rejected.

One year after stepping down from his re-election campaign, former U.S. President Joe Biden, 82, is facing a serious health challenge following a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. Despite the diagnosis, Biden has not fully withdrawn from public life.

On July 21, 2024, Biden shocked the nation by announcing his exit from the presidential race just three months before the election. He passed the baton to then-Vice President Kamala Harris in a final effort to curb the rise of Donald Trump. However, his withdrawal failed to stop the Republican’s return to the White House.

Biden made the decision after intense pressure from within the Democratic Party, sparked by his underwhelming performance in a televised debate against Trump. His appearance—marked by visible frailty and confusion—rekindled concerns over his age and ability to lead.

His metastatic cancer diagnosis was confirmed on May 18, 2025. Still, the former president remains hopeful. From his home in Delaware, he said: “The expectation is that we’re going to beat this. I feel good.”
