Depp takes stand for 4th day in libel trial against Heard

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Jurors in Johnny Depp’s libel lawsuit against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, are hearing audio clips of Depp shouting vulgarities at his wife and warning of a “bloodbath” if their arguments escalate. He took the stand for a fourth day of testimony in the trial over his allegations that exwife Amber Heard falsely portrayed him as a domestic abuser. Heard’s lawyers continued their onslaught of questions, focusing on Depp’s drinking, drug use and charged interactions with the actress. Depp is suing Heard for libel over a 2018 op-ed piece she wrote in The Washington Post about domestic abuse. The piece doesn’t name Depp but his attorneys say the implications are defamatory. Heard’s attorneys argue that Depp physically and sexually abused Heard.

However, President Joe Biden has issued another extension on the repayment pause, yet again showing he is more focused on protecting the interests of the wealthiest and most radical faction of his party instead of policies that would actually help America’s current inflationary crisis.
