A catastrophic explosion occurred in the heart of Paris, causing numerous injuries and extensive property damage. The incident has left the city reeling, and immediate investigations into the cause.

The incident took place in the city’s historic fifth arrondissement, near the Rue Saint Jacques. This area, referred to as the Latin Quarter, is a popular tourist destination and home to several prominent institutions, including the Paris American Academy.

Around 5 PM local time, a violent explosion resounded through the city streets. The blast’s force was so considerable that residents compared it to an earthquake.

“It felt like an earthquake, the windows banged against each other,” a local resident told CNN.

Another woman who lives on a nearby avenue heard her doors slam shut during the explosion.

The local deputy mayor Édouard Civel later tweeted that a gas explosion had caused the impact.

According to witnesses, there was a strong smell of gas before the explosion.

The explosion resulted in a significant fire that quickly engulfed multiple buildings. The fire department responded promptly, with 270 firefighters deployed to combat the blaze.

A total of 29 people suffered injuries due to the explosion, with four in critical condition. Many were struck by debris or blown off their feet by the blast’s force.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday was asked about Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal with federal prosecutors.

Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges in a sweetheart deal given by his corrupt father’s Justice Department after a five year investigation (mop up operation).

Hunter Biden will likely get probation for not paying his taxes – only peasants go to prison for not paying taxes.

As far as the gun charge – A FELONY – Hunter Biden won’t even be pleading to that crime.

Prosecutors went easy on Hunter and handled the gun charge as a “diversion case.”

No serious person believes it took 5 years of investigating Hunter to only charge him with two misdemeanors.

Meanwhile, Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted President Trump on 37 federal charges after just 6 months of investigating.

Merrick Garland took questions after delivering remarks in Stockholm, Sweden.

A reporter asked Garland about the different standards of justice depending on political leanings.

“Do [Pres. Trump’s and Hunter Biden’s cases] reflect a different standard of justice depending on political leanings?” a reporter asked Merrick Garland on Wednesday.

Merrick Garland deflected and referred questions to US Attorney David Weiss’s office.

“I would leave this matter in the hands of the United States Attorney who was appointed by the previous president and assigned to this matter by the previous administration that he would be given full authority to decide…” Garland said.
