The chief of staff to controversial exiled Chinese businessman Guo Wengui pleaded guilty in New York on Friday to a fraud conspiracy that swindled more than $1 billion from hundreds of thousands of victims around the world, prosecutors said. Yvette Wang's plea came weeks before the 53-year-old Guo is set to stand trial in Manhattan federal court for related charges. Wang was scheduled to stand trial with Guo in that case before her plea. Prosecutors accuse Guo, an associate of former Trump White House aide Steve Bannon, of duping his online followers with promises of outsized investment returns. Guo has pleaded not guilty. Wang, 45, agreed to pay $1.4 billion in restitution to the United States and to forfeit t

The law firm at LaRocca, Hornik, Greenberg, Kittredge, Carlin & McPartland asked to withdraw from the case filed by Arlene "A.J."

The filings said the firm "respectfully requests leave to explain to the Court in camera" the details of that breakdown. In camera proceedings are conducted by judges without members of the public or press present. Magistrate Judge Katharine Parker said she would conduct an in camera conference on the firm's request
Mitt Romney may have infamously tied a dog in a kennel to the roof of his car for a cross-country trip but at least he didn’t shoot it, the Utah Republican senator said, as outrage over the South Dakota governor, Kristi Noem, telling her story of killing a 14-month-old hunting dog continued to ripple through US politics.
Former President Donald Trump received 36 million more shares of Trump Media Technology Group on Friday, according to a newly filed disclosure Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The shares were part of a contractual "earnout bonus" that Trump's eponymous media company agreed to shortly before it went public in March.
