Donald Trump made $300,000 for endorsing $60 Bibles with singer Lee Greenwood and owns more than $1 million in cryptocurrency, a new financial disclosure reveals.
More than half of Americans think that the United States is in an economic recession, although gross domestic product has been increasing for the past several years. According to a new Guardian/Harris poll, 56% of respondents said they believe the U.S. is in a recession and 58% say that President Joe Biden is responsible for what they see as an economic downturn. A recession is an extended period of economic decline, usually designated when GDP has declined for two or more consecutive fiscal quarters. Under those terms, the U.S. is definitively not in a recessio
President Joe Biden took a victory lap after Target announced it was lowering prices on groceries and other items — and hopes voters will give him the credit. "President Biden called on grocery chains making record profits to lower prices for consumers – and they're answering the call," the White House wrote in a social media post on Monday evening in response to a headline about Target's price cuts. Earlier on Monday, Target announced it would lower prices on roughly 5,000 items, including food items like bread, fruit, vegetables, milk and meat. The company said cuts on 1,500 items had already taken effect and thousands more would come over the summer. It is timely news for Biden who has s
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito sold shares of beer giant Anheuser-Busch as conservatives were ditching the Bud Light brewer over its partnership with a transgender social media influencer. On the same day Alito sold Anheuser-Busch, he then bought the same amount of stock in Molson Coors, a company with a history of facing political boycotts of its own, the filing shows. The transactions have bred fresh accusations that Alito, one of the high court's six conservatives, is engaging in or aligning with partisan politics, despite a recently adopted code of conduct that directs the justices to "refrain from political activity." Alito sold between $1,000 and $15,000 of AB InBev's stock on Aug. 14, 2023, according to a financial disclosure
The end of the criminal hush money trial of Donald Trump may soon be in sight, as testimony from his one-time personal lawyer Michael Cohen resumes Monday. Now, one big question looms over a New York courtroom: Will the former president take the witness stand? Cohen is a key witness against Trump, and prosecutors have already said he will be their last witness in the trial. Trump's lawyers are expected to wrap up his cross-examination Monday. Trump's attorneys hedged last week when asked by Judge Juan Merchan if they would call any defense witnesses at all to testify in Manhattan Supreme Court. Trump told a reporter last month, "I would testify, absolutely." But doing so would carry major risks for Trump, includi
Yada, yada, yada, this cryptocurrency crook isn't laughing now. A New York man swindled more than $1.3 million from friends, neighbors and investors by among other things getting them to invest in bogus real estate projects involving a company named after a joke in the classic TV comedy "Seinfeld," and a fictitious cryptocurrency, federal prosecutors said Friday. Thomas John Sfraga, 55, from 2019 through 2022 "held himself out as the owner and principal of multiple businesses, including Vandelay Contracting Corp. and Build Strong Homes LLC," the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement.

The chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday urged Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from considering cases related to the 2020 election, including the question of former President Donald Trump's immunity from criminal prosecution, because of controversy over an upside-down U.S. flag that flew outside Alito's home after the election. Sen. Dick Durbin suggested that Alito was adding to ethical concerns about the court after The New York Times report on Thursday revealed that the flag was displayed in that manner outside his Virginia home. "Flying an upside-down American flag — a symbol of the so-called 'Stop the Steal' movement — clearly creates the appearance of bias," said Durbin, the Illinois Democrat who heads the Judiciary Committee. "Justice Alito should recuse himself immediately from cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection, including the question of the former President's immunity in U.S. v. Donald Trump, which the Supreme Cour
A former diversity manager at Facebook and Nike was sentenced to five years and three months in prison for stealing more than $5 million from those companies that had been earmarked for DEI initiatives, federal prosecutors said. Georgia resident Barbara Furlow-Smiles, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud in the case in December, stole more than $4.9 million from Facebook "utilizing a scheme involving fraudulent vendors, fake invoices, and cash kickbacks," Atlanta U.S. Attorney Ryan Buchanan said in a statement. "After being terminated from Facebook, she brazenly continued the fraud as a DEI leader at Nike, where she stole another six-figure sum from their diversity program," Buchanan said. Furlow-Smiles, 38, used the money she stole "to fund a luxury lifestyle in California, Georgia and Oregon," accord
