U.S. government to pay $138.7M settlement over FBI's botched 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.

Only 1 in 3 US adults think Trump acted illegally in New York hush money case, poll shows

bostonherald.com/2024/04/16/only-1-in-3-us-adults-think-trump-acted-illegally-in-new-york-hush-money-case-poll-shows/

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: Contentious Press Conference: Johnson and GOP Lawmakers Heckled at Columbia

A press conference at Columbia University was marked by loud heckling against Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP lawmakers who condemned antisemitism and pro-Palestine demonstrations on the campus.

The GOP lawmakers faced boos from protesters and struggled to be heard as they criticized the treatment of Jewish students on the campus and directly addressed the student demonstrators.

Johnson and his GOP colleagues called for the resignation of Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, resulting in loud boos from the audience.

After an Orthodox rabbi advised Jewish students to return home, the university announced a shift to hybrid learning for the remainder of the semester until the situation on and around campus significantly improved.

The FBI has initiated a criminal investigation focusing on the colossal container vessel that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last month.

The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.
