Ivanka Trump has taken the stand to deliver bombshell testimony in her father’s New York fraud trial that could sink their business empire in the Big Apple.

Almost immediately after the cryptocurrency exchange FTX imploded last November, an agent e-mailed Hollywood buyers to reveal that the writer Michael Lewis just happened to have spent the previous six months hanging around Sam Bankman-Fried.

How to Catch Pandemic Fraud? Prosecutors Try Novel Methods.
Federal prosecutors are scrambling to recoup billions of dollars in pandemic aid from people who falsely obtained funds from government programs that were intended to keep the economy afloat during the Covid shutdowns.
In some districts, prosecutors are screening those suspected of a violent crime for potential involvement in pandemic fraud schemes.

DOJ request protective order in Trump’s election fraud case over social media posts
The Justice Department on Friday urged a federal judge overseeing former President Trump’s election fraud case to issue a protective order against the former president after he made social media posts the department argues are threatening.
