BRAINTREE A Boston man attacked a transit police officer and used racial slurs against an MBTA worker in a Friday incident at the Braintree station, police said.

Police said that Edge continued to use racial slurs and swear at the officer who used numerous de-escalation techniques to no avail, according to a statement.
Georgia took center stage at the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Impeachment managers cited Trump’s Jan. 2 phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
“I just wanna find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,” said Trump, trying to coax Raffensperger into finding votes to declare him, rather than Joe Biden, the winner of Georgia’s electoral votes.
The impeachment-supporting documents also detail how Trump allegedly pressured former Atlanta-based U.S. Attorney B.J. Pak, who abruptly resigned right after the call to Raffensperger. The documents say Trump demanded Pak’s resignation because he refused to investigate the former president’s baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.
