Rick Singer, at center of college admission scandal, sentenced to 3.5 years in prison

washingtonpost.com/education/2023/01/04/rick-singer-sentencing-varsity-blues-scandal/

Quick Glance: Rick Singer, the architect of the college admissions scam, has been sentenced.

The mastermind behind the major college admissions fraud that involved coaches, test proctors, and dozens of wealthy parents, including actors Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, was sentenced to three and a half years in jail on Wednesday.

Federal prosecutors had recommended that Singer be sentenced to six years in prison, far more than any other defendant had received, arguing that as the scheme's leader and facilitator, Singer was the "most culpable participant" and deserved "the longest sentence," despite his cooperation with the investigation.

Quick Glance: On January 6, a panel recommends criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.

The committee also agreed to charge conservative lawyer John Eastman, who designed dubious legal procedures to keep Trump in power, with conspiracy to defraud the United States and impeding an official action, under the same charges as Trump.

According to Hicks, Trump told her, "The only thing that matters is winning."

Thompson stated after the hearing that the seditious conspiracy accusation is "something that the committee didn't come to agreement on."

Kevin McCarthy of California, a Trump ally, opted not to participate after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected some of his appointments.

Supreme Court gives skeptical eye to key statute used to prosecute Jan. 6 rioters

Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter

The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.

During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.

The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results

A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.

In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.

Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.

The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

Taylor Swift shared on Monday the song titles and information about two collaborations for her 11th era, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' an album she announced after winning her 13th career Grammy on Sunday.

The album has four sides, with the titles of the songs suggesting it could be a breakup album about her ex-boyfriend and actor Joe Alwyn, whom Swift dated for six years.

There are several song titles in the album referencing London and England, where Alwyn is from, contrasting the cheerful nature of 'London Boy' with darker titles like 'But Daddy I Love Him.'

Swift also revealed that she wrote the bonus track 'You're Losing Me' two years ago, which depicts a relationship on life support as she pleads with her partner to revive the romance.
