US government agrees to $138.7M settlement over FBI's botching of Larry Nassar assault allegations

Quick Glance: US Government Agrees to $138.7M Settlement Over FBI's Mishandling of Larry Nassar Assault Allegations

The U.S. Justice Department announced a $138.7 million settlement with over 100 individuals who accused the FBI of mishandling sexual assault allegations against Larry Nassar in 2015 and 2016.

A total of $1 billion has now been allocated by various organizations to compensate numerous women who were victims of Nassar's assaults disguised as sports injury treatments.

FBI Director Christopher Wray expressed regret for the agency's inaction despite being aware of allegations against Nassar for over a year, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice for the survivors.

The settlements aim to provide critical support for the victims of Nassar's crimes to aid in their healing process, with the Justice Department agreeing to settle 139 claims in response to the agreement.

Here's the new plan to boost background checks for guns bought at shows or online

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Second criminal trial unlikely following Bruce Lehrmann defamation case ruling, but experts say appeal could happen

Quick Glance: How Justice Michael Lee unraveled the Higgins-Lehrmann 'Omnishambles'

Justice Michael Lee meticulously unpicked the complex allegations in the Lehrmann-Higgins case with sharp clarity and meticulous precision.

Lee assessed the truth question separately for the rape and cover-up allegations, finding the former proven and the latter not.

He criticized Ten, Wilkinson, and her team for inadequate research efforts and found the testimonies of Lehrmann and Higgins unconvincing.

Lee's judgment provides valuable insights for future defamation and sexual assault prosecutions as well as for media practice.

Quick Glance: Conservative influencer involved in stealing table used to assault officers on Jan. 6, FBI reports

Conservative influencer Isabella Deluca was arrested in California for her involvement in stealing a table that was used to attack officers, according to the FBI.

Deluca, a supporter of Donald Trump, was arrested in Irvine, California, facing five charges, including theft of government property.

Images in the FBI affidavit show Deluca assisting in passing the table out of the broken window, and her co-defendant Timothy Desjardins, arrested in 2021, using a table leg to assault officers.

Over 1,300 individuals have been arrested in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack, with over 950 convictions secured, resulting in around 500 individuals being sentenced to incarceration.

Quick Glance: Firearms Discovered at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' L.A. and Miami Properties, Sources Say

During searches of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami, federal agents found firearms, as confirmed by three informed sources on Tuesday. Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday and confiscated the music mogul's phones in Miami before his planned trip to the Bahamas. According to a source familiar with the matter, Combs is under a federal criminal investigation due to multiple lawsuits filed against him in recent months.

Reportedly, Combs has been involved in numerous civil lawsuits since November, following a lawsuit from his former romantic partner Cassie, who accused him of physical and sexual abuse over several years. Combs has denied each of the sexual assault allegations, calling them 'sickening.' In February, a former employee who worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023 filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.

The cases are ongoing, and Combs has maintained his denial of the allegations. A man arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport on Monday is said to be an associate of Combs. Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on suspicion of possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. Court records indicated that Paul was released on bond on Tuesday.
