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.

pennlive.com/nation-world/2024/04/ship-that-caused-balimote-bridge-collapse-had-apparent-electrical-issues-while-still-docked-ap-source.html

Quick Glance: Investigation of Key Bridge Incident

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.

Authorities are examining the sequence of events that led to the Dali, a 985-foot Singaporean ship, losing power as it departed from the Port of Baltimore and colliding with one of the bridge's support pillars.

Federal agents appeared to have boarded the ship on Monday morning to conduct a search.

President Biden and Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) have expressed their commitment to hold accountable any entities potentially responsible for the bridge's destruction.

Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial

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.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich

Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.

Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.

Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.

Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

Quick Glance: Prince Harry Officially Residing in U.S.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have considered California home, and now his official residency in the U.S. has been documented in a corporate filing.

The document was filed at Britain’s corporate registrar, Companies House, to update the official residency of the British royal for business records of Travalyst Limited.

There had been little official confirmation of Harry’s residency status until this week, with an entry indicating a change of residency to June 29, 2023, the day the couple left Frogmore Cottage, their British home.

It is unclear what type of U.S. visa or residency permit Harry holds, despite efforts by conservative activists in the U.S. to ascertain them, including an ongoing lawsuit.

Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba

Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.

Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.

The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.

The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.
