Trump campaign lawyer testified in Nevada fake electors case to avoid prosecution, transcripts show

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:33:10 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The lawyer who helped orchestrate the Trump campaign’s fake elector scheme in 2020 was a target in a criminal investigation in Nevada, but his name was removed from the indictment in exchange for his cooperation with authorities, according to newly released transcripts of secret grand jury proceedings in Las Vegas.The documents made public Sunday show that in late November, Kenneth Chesebro testified to a grand jury in Clark County, Nevada, about the plot that ultimately led to the indictments this month of six Nevada Republicans, who made a last-ditch attempt to keep then-President Donald Trump in power by sending a phony electoral certificate to the National Archives. The fake electors — involved in the GOP at the state or county level — are charged in state court with offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument.Chesebro’s deal with state Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford’s office, which investigated the case, com...

Consultants showered EU antitrust enforcers with free flights and hotels

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:33:10 GMT

Consultants working for companies targeted by European Union antitrust probes were among those who treated competition officials to flights and hotel stays last year, according to documents released to POLITICO. The European Commission’s competition unit plays a key role in screening big deals and investigating the world’s largest companies — making it a prime target of corporate lobbying. Often, the lobbying plays out at academic-style conferences, where lawyers and economists pick over decisions by courts and authorities, some of them in lavish hotels in locations like Lake Como and fuelled by fine food and drinks. One main attraction of these events is when the Commission sends a speaker from its ranks. But a tighter travel budget means the Commission is becoming reluctant to shell out for trips. Annual forecasts released to POLITICO in response to access to documents requests showed the competition unit allocated €560,000 on its own officials’ travel in 2022. T...

The Von Erichs were a popular Texas wrestling clan in the 1980s, brothers whose trademark was the Iron Claw wrestling hold.“The Iron Claw” tells their mostly tragic story. Zac Efron is Kevin the eldest, Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”) is Kerry. Maura Tierney plays their doting mother Doris while Holt McCallany (Netflix’s “Mindhunter” series) commands as the Von Erich patriarch Fritz, a supreme example of destructive toxic masculinity.Efron, 36, stands out as the one who most closely resembles their larger-than-life physiques.  “The footage we saw of Kevin in the ring was electric,” Efron said in a post-screening Q&A. “His athleticism in the combat — how light he was on his feet! It looked real. It was real.“He just had this incredible physique to complement that. I knew going into it that, physically relating to Kevin, I was going to get into that shape.“To do that,” he discovered, “you have to be obsessed. Before every take, push-ups, pull ups, to get pumped up. It takes ...

Editorial: BPS exam school move a win for parents, kids

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:33:10 GMT

Boston parents and schoolchildren scored a win this week as Boston Public Schools Superintendent Mary Skipper announced changes to its controversial exam schools admission policy. It was a victory for parents who spoke up and pushed back against seats going to students based on socioeconomic status and location rather than simply grades and test scores.In tweaking the policy, BPS racked up a win of its own. It showed it was willing to listen to Boston parents and make adjustments in a timely manner, even though the policy wasn’t due to be reviewed for five years.It started, as most things do in Boston these days, by a progressive push to boost diversity in exam schools. The new BPS policy, adopted within the last year, took a student’s testing score and GPA points, then awarded 10 additional points to students who attend a school enrolling 40% or more economically disadvantaged students and 15 points to students who are in state care, in affordable housing or homeless.

Williams: FDA’s pouch puree purge could harm consumers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:33:10 GMT

Bureaucrats at the Food and Drug Administration have soured on children’s fruit pouches. In October, the FDA traced elevated lead levels in the blood of four children to apple cinnamon fruit puree pouches and warned parents not to purchase the allegedly harmful products. A recall ensued.Now, three companies have taken their fruit pouch products off the market. It remains to be seen whether the lead-fruit pouch link can withstand closer and independent analysis.Unfortunately, the agency has a track record of overzealously policing lead levels in fruit products and pursuing cost-prohibitive policies. Regulators should reserve recalls for truly dangerous situations and allow consumers access to safe and affordable products.Lead contamination remains a critical problem. According to a 2021 study published in JAMA Pediatrics, more than half of children in the United States have detectable levels of lead in their blood, and even small concentrations in the blood can result in mental impai...

Dear Abby: My son and his fiancee are getting married next month. They’re calling it an elopement, but although they have been telling everyone when and where the wedding is, they are not formally inviting anyone. I have come to terms with that. I realize the day is about them, not me. However, this is my only child, and I have always dreamed about being part of this milestone in his life.I’m sure this is his fiancee’s choice and he is just going along with what she wants, but it is hurting me terribly to not be there. They have also decided a reception in their honor will be held six months afterward. Who does this? Is this proper etiquette? — Broken-Hearted MotherDear Mother: The rigid rules of etiquette have loosened considerably in recent years. Many younger people prefer the casual over the formal. Please don’t lay the sole blame on your soon-to-be daughter-in-law without first discussing this with your son, because you may be shocked to learn this...
